No matter how hard she tries, Elleanor Fisher never thinks she's good enough, from her job to her weight to her love life. After enduring years of abuse at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, Elli has been drifting through life in a daze. Until, that is, she meets Shea Adler on a promotional shoot for the NHL's Nashville Assassins. Before Elli knows what's happening, the gorgeous Shea breaks the ice and shatters her world. A brilliant athlete inside the rink, Shea Adler is tired of the life he's living outside of it: the women, the money, the drinking. But everything changes when he meets Elli. After laying eyes on this feisty, witty, beautiful woman, he feels like he's just taken the hardest hit of his life. No matter how skeptical she is, Shea knows they are meant to be together - if only he can convince Elli to put her insecurities aside before she misses out on a shot at love.

Taking Shots is book 1 in the Assassins Series. I really enjoyed Taking Shots and can't wait to continue with the series. I loved Elli and Shea. Taking Shots is my favorite book in the Assassins Series so far.

Great First Book!

Loved the basic story line but a little whinny for me. But, still worth the credit.

Good

This is one of the cutest books I have listened to in awhile! I highly recommend this!

A fantastic love story

Sometimes, like in this case, it's very good to have a book read to you! Kept me on the edge until the end so I didn't skim over and instead really "heard" the full story! Highly recommend it if you need a pick me up and a sweet romance! Good voice changes to the characters - could almost fully visualize all of them!

Will definitely read this author and listen to this narrator again

I found the last 1.5 hrs most impactful. I cried and was tied in knots until the HEA finally arrived. Shea was a dream of a MMC and showed great patience in his pursuit of his lady love.
