Boarded by Love by Toni Aleo
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.

AGHHHH!! Toni Aleo has done it again!! I have been dying to get my hands on this book after meeting Claire in Breaking Away! I fell in love with her and her spunk in that book and was so excited she was getting her own story. Plus I knew there was a good chance we would see more of Phillip and Reese and possibly some of the other Assassain’s family. I loved this story and the introduction of Jude Sinclair (eeep smoking hot) and the rest of the Bellevue Bullies. I will say that this an insta love kind of situation, I am not always a huge fan of this but I was able to connect with the characters so it was ok for me. I would of loved a little more cat and mouse in the beginning between the two but I was satisfied. There are some twists and turns in this book and I will admit I figured them out pretty early on but that did not deter from the story. The road is not always smooth sailing for these two but what fun would it be if everything was wine and roses. Also this is the first in the spin off series and I can only hope that the future installments feature Jude’s hunky brothers!!
