Warning….this is a MAGIC MIKE themed post…rawr. It also contains a bunch of booty…sorry if this offends anyone. I am a horny little thing when there isnt hockey 😛
Hello Everyone!! How is everyone doing? Well, I hope, because I’m doing great! hehe! I have been sleeping and reading and relaxing! Its totally unusual but man do I love it! I have honestly blown EVERYTHING off this week. Me and the kids have been in the pool and thats it. We sleep, eat, and swim. Its been fantastic. We went to see Brave which was FANTASTIC! Then we went to Indiana this past weekend and I got to feed a giraffe! I know! Amazing right?! lol. Then we went to the childern’s musem and they had umbrellas hanging from the ceiling as decoration. It reminded me off Empty Net and I shared it on my Facebook. When y’all read the book you’ll see why! Its awesome. Lets see, I dont know if y’all realize but Magic Mike comes out in 2 days…yes, rawr..hm hmm. hehe!

Taking Shots and Trying to Score are doing well. TS is ranked 4.2 out of 5 on Amazon with 132 reviews. TSS is ranked 4.4 out of 5 with 101 reviews. On goodreads I finally hit 1,000 reviews! I’m so excited! hehe I thought it was fantastic! A tour with Charisma Blog Tours will start July 1st. Please check out the blog tour page to see where and when I’ll be at each blog. I’ve been getting so many fantastic emails, facebook post and tweets from everyone lately and I just want to say Thanks so much, it means to the world to me!! Keep them coming! They make my day!
Oh, how I cant wait for Empty Net to come out. Since I’ve finished, a couple people have had the opportunity to read it and this is what some of them are saying:
 I absolutely loved this book. You get drawn in by the two main characters, Tate and Audrey, and you can’t help but love them. Mrs. Aleo takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and makes you feel like you really know these characters. She did that as well in her other books, which I loved dearly, and until this one Taking Shots was my favorite. Her books just keep getting better and better and I can’t wait to see what is to come! Congratulations Toni, you did an AMAZING job! – Mary
As alway, I love every part of Toni’s books! The style of writing, keeping the characters real, and the love between the characters just can’t be beat!
This love story is unlike any other Toni has written. You won’t want to put this book down! This book was very easy to get drawn into; I laughed, cried and celebrated with the characters thru each chapter.
Another great book Toni! Keep up the great work and I cannot wait to see what up next for all the characters! – Althea
AHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I can’t be done, this can’t be over!!!! It’s too good! I can’t put into words how much I love this book. I really think this is Toni’s best ever! Seriously! You all know how much I love Lucas and I didn’t think Toni could top him, esp with Tate being a charming (I find them boring) but boy oh boy was I wrong! It was like me thinking Cars Land was going to be lame!!! This BLEW me away! And I kinda need more now! 😀 You get a standing ovation from me lady! – my critique partner – Tara – It was funny reading her notes from the last chapter, she kept putting little bubbles that said AWWWWWWWWWW hehehe. it was funny, and I’m gonna miss all our emails but thats okay cause I’ll be start something new soon. Just havent figured that out yet…lol
But really, I agree with what everyone said. Empty Net is totally different from Taking Shots and Trying to Score. Not only is the cover freaking beautiful but the content is so much different. One minute you’re laughing your butt off and then the next you’re crying so hard you can’t breathe. Its intense and I honestly didnt think I had this in me. WOW is what I gotta say! Can’t wait for the world to get it!
So I’m super excited about the cover reveal. Everything is ready, the chapter is ready, the cover, the playlist, its gonna be epic! Here is the list of blogs if you wanna go check it out! It will be on here too, so if anything I hope you come here to see me! hehe. I’ll be doing a giveaway that day too, not sure what yet, but its gonna be something!!
Lets do some facts real quick.
The only thing I got to say is the Editor has the whole book. The beta readers have till chapter 25 and will get more as soon as I get it all back. Hopefully they’ll have everything soon 🙂
rawr………….
I’ve decided that my writing Wednesday is probably totally boring now. I have no clue what I’m supposed to tell y’all now. Maybe I’ll do a little teaser like I did with Trying to Score. I dont know. I’m sorry. blah. lol. hehe, Okay, well I leave y’all with the song that is rocking my socks right now! It is also the song that will play a BIG part in Blue Lines (assassins 4)! Annnnnnnnnddddd its the song that Joe Manganiello will be dancing too while giving me a lap dance in my dreams tonight.
Also, I think y’all need this:

Do you know how hard it is to read your post with all this freaking delicious man candy? Gah! I was mesmerized by quite a few of these. LOL.
lol, I was thinking that when I was reading it over. I was like oh I'm funny, oh wait…mmmmm channing tatums bum! hehehe 😛
He says “Tell me what you like so I can do it over and over” (you Don't Know Jack by Erin McCarthy). Well me like Toni's blog this week yah. I love the idea of a Harper Novella. Run with it Toni .
Cool school! Love that book btw!! hehe 😛 Thanks!
You sure know how to brighten my “Monday”, Toni!! =) I also read Shannon's “Slow Summer Kisses” & Kristan's “Somebody To Love”….Both were awesome reads!! Last week I read Candis Terry's next in her “Sugar Shack” series….really good!! Have a fun & well deserved girls night out with your friend!!

OMG you crack me up! I've been back in my hometown (in OH)for a month now and a girlfriend I haven't seen in approx 13 yrs and I have a “date” tonight to see Magic Mike tonight! For me it is all about Joe Manganiello (yummy!)

O-M-GEEEEEEEE!!! ;P
Don’t apologize about being horny. It’s natural. Be natural, just don’t be sorry. Go with it. I love your way of thinking. I can see it when reading one of your lucious hockey babe stories! lol
I’ve loved hockey since I was in grade school (many moons ago!) and still love it. Thank you sooooo much for bringing the two things I’m passionate about together in literature. Hockey and Romance! Definitely a hot combo.
I apologize for the late comments. I’m new to your blog and am trying to catch up before I’m bogged down with school work. God bless you for the enjoyment you bring to others. Thank you again Toni for bringing hockey and love together. Sorry for going on and on. 🙂
