Book Whisperer's Rating:
Audrey
Parker was in a horrible place.
She hated
her job, her sister was getting married and moving out, but worst of all, she
was in love with a total jerk. No matter what she did, every guy she met hurt
her. All she wanted was her happily ever after. Her Prince Charming. Her Lucas
Brooks! She didn’t know how to change her life but she knew she needed too.
Feeling
like she was about to hit rock bottom, Audrey wakes up next to Tate Odder.
Tate Odder
had lost everything.
After being
brought up from the Assassins’ farm team, the Florida Rays to the Nashville
Assassins, Tate hopes he’ll forget everything he has lost. He doesn’t. Each day
gets harder to live in a place he doesn’t know. Even being the first rookie
goalie to shut out an opposing team three times during the Lord Stanley Cup
Finals, he still felt empty. With the loss of his parents and sister still
heavy on his heart, Tate isn’t sure how to live like everything is okay.
But when he
wakes up beside Audrey Parker, things start to change. She turns his life
upside down with her kooky sense of humor and her bright clothing. She is
intelligent and beautiful, and for once, he doesn’t feel empty.
Will Audrey
be the person to fill the holes in Tate’s heart, making him whole again?
Or will
another player ruin everything, leaving him feeling forever like an empty net?
This is the third book in the series, the first two I have yet
to read, and although there are characters from the beginning, I would say that
this book could be considered a stand-alone.
After reading Empty Net it
made me want to read the first two.
Audrey may not have been my favorite character in this book
because while she was so strong in other ways, she failed to be strong when it
came to Levi (Levi=jerk.) She knew what
she wanted in life, a real life Prince Charming, but when he came she shied
away leaving poor Tate absolutely confused.
Because of her shyness, I considered this to really help me as the
reader learn more about these two characters. Audrey laid it on the table that all they can
be are friends and nothing more. This
gave me that awesome part of the story where a relationship grows from a
friendship that is formed. To me,
friends turning into lovers are always the best stories.
Tate has to be the sweetest guy ever. Audrey would give love, freak out, and then
take it all back but Tate just accepted it.
He wanted her in his life so bad that he was willing to take anything
that she was willing to give. If that is
not the definition of Prince Charming then I don’t know what is.
Oh yeah, Piper and Erik's story really has me intrigued for the fourth book.
3.5 Stars
