Publisher's summary

From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Toni Aleo comes a spin-off series from the Assassins: the Bellevue Bullies!

Jude Sinclair here, hockey player for the Bellevue Bullies and lover of all ladies. Hockey's in my blood, and not to sound full of myself, but I'm good at it...really good. The draft is within my reach - it's mine to take - but that's not the only reason people know my name. They know me because of my way with women. They know the score, and I aim to please. I just tend to stay away from repeat performances. In other words I don't do relationships beyond my family and friends. I'm happy with life. However, I should warn you that my story and how I see it playing out is about to change due to a certain redhead on campus.

She's beautiful. Stunning. Breathtaking. She's my game changer.

He's trouble from the moment I see him. I don't know what I'm thinking, but from the moment I meet his gaze, I'm his. It's a scary feeling. I've never trusted anyone outside my aunt and uncle - and even that took months. I didn't have it easy growing up. My mom was usually strung out, and she didn't give me a second thought. Drugs and the men who paid her were more important to her. It was horrible, but I'm stronger today. Because of my past, security is what I need most. Money assures me that I can take care of myself today, tomorrow, and next month. I don't want to ever be hungry or go without again, so I work hard for every penny.

Oh, by the way, I'm Claire Anderson. I'm a hard-studying sophomore at the University of Bellevue, dancer for the school dance team, and a burlesque dancer at a club, but that's my secret. You may think you know how our story ends, but you have no clue. It's not easy falling in love...or living happily ever after. At first it may seem so, but when is anything worth having ever won without a fight? Especially when you're boarded by love.

4.5 Boarded by Love Stars

Before we even talk about this book. I have to say I am a HUGE fan of The Assassins Series! And no I didn't know this was a spin off or I would have read the dang book a lot sooner!!

Ok now on to this book, when we meet Claire in Philip’s book I wanted to know more about her. So imagine my surprise when listening and this book is about Claire, I kind of smacked my forehead with the heel of my hand like duh!

Ok moving on, she was exactly how I thought she would be and so, so much more. I am so proud of her and I know it’s a book and she is just a character but if you read Philip's book you would understand.

I love the relationship Claire has with Philip and especially with Reese. <3 I swooned I had tears and I rooted or Claire.

But what makes this book even that extra bit special was I fell for Hey Jude! Who wouldn't I ask you he was charming and charismatic and downright smooth. And I love that in a hero!
And together Jude and Claire are Aces! I mean it they made my heart melt so many times.
The only thing I didn't like but totally get was the dramalama right at the end, I did think Jude took it just a little too far. And that was just my opinion.

I loved the duel narration like a lot Joe is a favorite of mine and it has nothing to do with his name totally being like my husbands…lol
Felicity really brings the emotion to Claire that I was hoping for. So I am very happy with this audio and if you are a fan of Toni Aleo’s work then click and buy this book it’s a heck of an audiobook!

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Too long

Had to hurry up the narration. I liked the characters and the plot, but holey moly it could have been 3 or 4 hours shorter. Should have been. I hesitate to get any more in this series because of the length. One of them is 18 hours long! This author has a lot going for her, but she needs a decent editor to guide her and help her hone her craft. At the very least she should read her works outloud - she'll see not only the plodding pace of the internal stuggles she zones in on (well, I might add), but repetitive words and phrasing.

Couldn't even finish listening

What disappointed you about Boarded by Love?

There's no way that a college hockey team would be called the "bullies." The story wasn't believable at all.

Has Boarded by Love turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, just this author

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was OK. If a little stilted at places, transitioning between characters.

Any additional comments?

I tried reading the book and decided to try giving it a listen and that was worse because I was trapped having to listen to the entire painful story instead of skimming over the unbelievable, over-used college student interaction.

1 book for 1.5 mont.

What would have made Boarded by Love better?

Any additional comments?

The story overall was not bad. But it took one book for 1 1/2 month. All the secret just keep going and going and going. The performance in the audio was good. Really all the drama took 1-2 chapters at the end. I recommend it to maybe young audience.

Feel Good Story

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed listening to this book and thought that the problems that come up are relatable to everyday people. There are outcomes that I feel are a little out there but makes you love the characters even more. Easy listen.

True Love Conquers All

I haven't written a review in awhile and this book was so good I felt the urge to write about it. I love the story between Jude and Claire, I was so glad to read about the playboy that Jude was, didn't cause him to cheat on Claire, especially with all the girls constantly swooning over him. It was so awesome to see how much they loved each other right from the very start. I just knew it was going to catch up with Claire,the secret she held would eventually come out before you know it, but Jude didn't have to be so mean and headstrong about it. I don't want to say anymore because I don't want to give the best part of the story up, but this book is a must read if you love reading about hockey stars and true love.

The voice actor for Jude is soon great and so is the female actor doing Claire. I love listening to this!
