I totally loved this book.
Bo was trying to stay clear of Gus due to being crushed by a former flame.
Gus kept pushing Bo until they finally came together.
A kept secret from Bo's past split them up and crushed Gus.
He wasn't going to let her go without a fight. Bo finally came to her senses and realized that Gus was nothing like her past and gave him a chance.

Bo is not going to be swept off her feet by hockey player, Gus "the bus" who has a reputation for being one and done. She has her priorities and that does not include being another notch in Gus' hockey stick. Gus can't get firey, red headed Bo out of his mind. He feels like he is drawn to her and is going to make her give him a chance. When the chance arises Gus manages to make a deal with Bo where she will go on a date with Gus. Will Bo be another one and done?

Great book and wonderful characters! I love the misadventures series!

Wow, when I first heard of this book, I was skeptical, I was not a fan of hockey and, I've never read Toni Also before. I will now. This book had my emotions going haywire, I laughed and cried right along with, Bo and Gus. I have this book 5 stars, more if I could, and highly recommend it to everyone, whether you are a fan of hockey or not. There is more to the story than just the sport.
I was given this book as an ARC from NetGalley in return for my honest review.

There are times it would be better if Gus just didn't think, thinking gets him in trouble, “you did. I came anyway.” I thought after having her in my mouth she would be less hostile. I was wrong." Gus, you know thinks he's doing the right thing, but really he's just agitating his woman, “yeah, we’re both injured, can’t play tonight,” he said simply, his eyes sparkling with amusement. “So, I’m thinking ice cream, noodles, some Netflix, and an ice pack for your puss.” I glared, but he beamed back at me. “We can watch whatever you want, and I’ll even hold the ice pack to your ****y. If you want to take your panties off, I support that. We’ll stay in my room.” I liked this book, I loved Gus.

Toni Aleo brings us another hockey hunk to love. This is a stand alone novel from the a Misadventures series, each book is penned by a different author.
Bo is super smart and not looking for a hockey hookup. She's focused on school and making positive changes in her life.
Gus is hot on the ice and of. His normal mode is hit em and quit em, no seconds. The girls yet to come back for more and he doesn't budge. But when Bo shoots him down from his first attempt he's determined to figure out what really make her tick. They've got super hot chemistry, but Bo has issues with hockey players and secrets she's holding in deep. Now Gus has to find the kinks in her armor and figure out if he's willing to open himself up to more than just one and done.
This book had me laughing out loud at several parts. It's witty, with definite hot and some very heartfelt moments thrown in with some hockey too.

Just finished reading Misadventures of a Rookie as a ARC on Netgalley. I have to say that Toni did not disappoint me with how she can take something the is so common in the world and make it relate to the every day world.. Bo and Gus will have you laughing as will as crying and I know I was rooting for Gus to break down those barriers that Bo was dead set to keep up. I totally loved to story and think you will too.

Gus is on the fast track to the NHL he's cocky, sexy,funny, and hot as heck and he knows it too lol Bo is a little reserved but a strong willed college girl with a mysterious background! This book has a little bit of everything it was very funny some really hot sexy times and some heartwarming and heartbreaking moments!

I definitely want to say a big thank you to netgalley and the publishers and Toni Aleo for sharing this book with me!! It was truly an amazing read!! Definitely don't miss out on this one!!!

I think this was the fastest I have ever read a book. When I say I couldn't put it down usually that means I did put it down to eat dinner, let the dogs out, whatever. I had Misadventures with a Rookie in my hands from the time I picked it up until I finished. I even ate my lunch while reading. I need to know who Toni Aleo is. I need to read more..

I am flabbergasted, enthralled, amazed. Rookie is EVERYTHING. I am so impressed I am having trouble finding words to explain it. Bo and Gus are it. They are the epitome of the perfect couple in my opinion. There is fire, lust, romance, comedy, the list goes on. I literally had chills while I was reading. The plot twist was so relatable.

Nothing about this novel felt forced or awkward. It just flowed and was absolutely seamless. It made me want more. I can't get enough.

The past definitely can hinder the future. I love this authors take on this subject as well as the strength of both characters. Must read 2018

Bo always stated she would never give date an athlete. Gus is known for his one and done philosophy about women. But when the sparks fly between the two it’s more than just scratching an itch. Real feeling are involved. But will issues from her past keep Bo from making the commitment that Gus wants? Or will getting a spot on the NHL team be the nail in the coffin for Gus? With heartwarming characters and a beautifully written storyline this is another great read in this series. I highly recommend this book.
