Dump and Chase

Nashville Assassins: Next Generation, Book 1

De: Toni Aleo

Narrado por: Stephen Dexter, Tanya Eby

Shelli Adler has known what she wanted since she was 11 years old. Aiden Brooks.

But Aiden has always had other ideas. After spending the early years of his life without his dad, hockey legend Lucas Brooks, Aiden is determined not to settle for anything less than true love. When he's ready. Now he's living the fast life of an NHL bachelor. He won't give his heart to any one girl, but they can have his body - all night long.

The party to celebrate the start of the second half of the season was supposed to be no different from any other night. And when a stunning stranger approaches him, he can't seem to keep his hands off her.

The next morning, she's gone, and he's been traded to his dad's former team, the Nashville Assassins. All of his professional dreams are coming true, but he can't shake the memory of the girl from that last party. He wants to see her again. Though, after moving across the country - and without knowing her name-that dream seems like a puck destined to miss the net.

For Shelli, her night with Aiden was everything she'd ever imagined it could be, and she's sure it is all about to change for them. But for that to happen . . . he would have to know who she was.

Totally enjoyed this book

Best narration so far they put feeling to the character and the story was awesome, love it

Hockey romance

This is a great series and at times there is humor that makes you laugh out loud. Enjoy the character building

Loved this story!

I read this book a long time ago when I started getting sucked into the Nashville Assassins family! Anyway, I enjoyed it so much I was glad it was on Audible included in the plan to listen to. Loved the story and the characters! One of the funnier books I’ve read from the author. The narrator for the FMC was the same as Juicy Rebound and she’s grown on me. I liked her narrating Shelli more than I did Amelia. Overall a good listen and I truly enjoyed listening to Shelli and Aiden.

Wrong voice for Adien.

Toni Aleo is a great hockey author. She definitely is a fan of the game you feel it in all the books. However I have pictured Aiden for many years. The voice is way to wimpy for a hot young man who's hockey is DNA deep. He is Lucas's son. Grant it his early years were messed up because of his parents, but he had to inherit some cockiness & confidence. From both of his parents. Maybe if he had a different voice maybe his insecurities wouldn't be so overwhelming. If you can get over that the book is good. Is it Tate, Lucas or Shay no. But is worth the credit. Those are better than gold and I dont use them or advise anyone to use them lightly.

How does she do it?

The excitement of finally having the Assasins next gen series available as an audio book was well worth the wait! How she manages to make us fall in love with the hope of finding/ being loved in every book is beyond me but she always does and I for one appreciate this! Yet again Toni Aleo wows me with the plot twists, stellar writing and I absolutely love all the laughs and tears it caused. The added bonus for this book is the gang's all here and per usual the Adler's and Brooks's add amazing elements of hilarity and love that caused me to fall in love with Aleo novels to begin with.

Per any Aleo novel her use of music to make a scene that much more special is on point and I always take away a new favorite song or I'm introduced to a new artist I was clueless about and this is one of my favorite take aways from a Toni Aleo novel! ( because I always look up the songs and listen to the lyrics )

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Great story and narration

I am relatively new to Toni Aleo so I thought this was a good opportunity to make a start since it is book one in her new series Nashville Assassins: Next Generation and is Aiden Brooks and Shelli Adler’s story.

Shelli has wanted Aiden for as long as she can remember but Aiden is fixated on living the high life as an NHL player both on and off the rink, determined to succeed professionally before he finds the woman he wants to settle down with.

A one night stand with a mysterious woman leaves him wanting more but he has no name or a way to find her. Shelli knows that what transpired between her and Aiden could be the start of something big, but since he doesn't have a clue who she is it may be rather difficult.

When Aiden is traded to his father’s old team he firmly believes that he is on the rise and his professional dreams are about to become a reality. Now all he needs is to find his mystery woman.

I thoroughly enjoyed Toni Aleo’s style of writing and Dump & Chase was an entertaining story which hooked me from the start and did not let me go until the end.

This is a story like no other, it is about people who are flawed and yet through strength and determination they fight their way back from what life has dealt them and achieve goals that many thought would never happen. If anyone deserved to fall in love and live happily ever after it is Nico and Aviva.

Stephen Dexter and Tanya Eby did a fabulous job bringing this story to life. Their voices are easy to listen to and they did justice to this emotional story.

Surprisingly Awesome

I didn’t think I’d like this book but it was pretty great! Nothing over the top, characters are very relatable, and the momentum of the story was perfect. I like that the supporting characters were positive and supportive and not feeding into the negative inner monologues. Made the angsty parts more tolerable.
I gave all 5s because I really enjoyed the book. Aiden’s voice was ok for me, Chelle’s voice was not great but once getting until the story I didn’t mind.

Worth it!

Phew They Finally Got It Together

I took the main characters mainly the male to get it together. He was doing a lot of doubting and messing things up. So happy he got it together and figured it out. This was a great love story.

Didn’t hate or even like it

It was okay story. Didn’t care for main characters. The h was too easy and contradicting. Didn’t care for her inner thoughts. The H by far worse. After he didn’t know who he slept with, and the h got all mad. Then she had no problem being treated as a sex object. I stopped after this. The sex was grossed since it was all about sex.
