Breakout

Breakout by Aven Ellis

While Texas is known for loving football, Lexi Stewart has always been drawn to the ice. Hockey is her passion, and she wants nothing more than to pursue a career in video editing for the home network of the Dallas Demons hockey team.

Lexi has an editing job for a corporate account, but it’s not fulfilling. Nor is her dating life, despite having the so-called help of The One Online Dating Service. Lexi knows there has to be more for her—on both fronts. She’s ready to take the next step, but it doesn't seem like it’s going to happen anytime soon.

Until a flying puck changes everything.

Niko Xenakis is the new Dallas Demons TV producer, and he’s looking to make his mark in his new role and hopefully work his way back to his hometown of Baltimore. But once he meets Lexi, he might just change his mind on what he wants for his future . . .

But the road to love is never easy, complicated by the fact that they both carry emotional baggage from the past in their hearts. Can these two “breakout”of the past to find love in the present?**

Ok first off if you haven't read any of the others I would suggest that you do, not because the story would be incomplete without them but you would be spoiled as to what happened with the other couples that are in the books before. 

In this book we get Lexi's story and the new producer for the Demons. Lexi is bff's with Kenley and Amanda, both from previous books and Kenley has her own story with Nate (hubba hubba). She's quiet but she is fierce about her love of the Demons. She goes and does videos for the team and is at every game. One day while she's taking video of their practices, she's tackled by a good looking guy. He saves her from being hit in the head with a puck. Niko is gorgeous and she is struck silent by that. They strike up a friendship and that's all Lexi thinks it is. Why would he like her she's plain and she's quiet. She's not like other girls shes at home in her comfy clothes and doesn't really do makeup. He also helps her get the opportunity of a life time to work as an editor of the opening for the Demons, her dream come true!  While they become closer friends, Lexi's attraction towards Niko grows.

Niko has his dream job as well. He's new and he wants something better then the opening he's got going on at the beginning of the games. When he sees Lexi and her dedication to the Demons and her videos he wants her to edit the openings. He'd noticed her before but saving her from the puck gave him the opportunity to get to her know her. The more he knows her the more he likes her but she tells him that she doesn't date co-workers. How's he supposed to get around that?!? He thinks she likes him more than just friends but he doesn't want to rock the boat. 

The chemistry between them was undeniable to us readers, they fought it or should I say Lexi fought it. To me Niko was giving off signals like the bat signal. Lexi was oblivious, really thinking that he had the hots for someone else. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a easy read and I read it fast.. Like I usually do when a book grabs me. I always read it so fast I'm disappointed when its over quickly. I also spoke to the author on Twitter and she is just about the nicest lady ever!! SO when you read this book (and you totally should, the series even!) leave her a review, its your way of saying thank you. Authors really deserve our words of praise for their words!
