**NEW RELEASE & REVIEW** THE HUSTLER BY GINA AZZI

When we met, Theo was a sexy surfer in Maui, riding waves by day and rocking my world at night. After being played for a fool by my ex-fiancé, Theo proved to be a source of instant gratification.

He was refreshingly honest, engaging, and incredibly charming. Theo built me up when it felt like my world was crumbling down.

Turns out, he’s just like my ex. A liar.

To avoid the gossip of my failed engagement, I hightail it to Boston, where I’m forced to cross paths with a new version of Theo, aka Eddie Sims, Boston Hawks right wing. Here, he isn’t the well-connected, alluring surfer but a determined, angry hockey hunk with something to prove. Especially to me.

Except I’ve written him off. Once a liar, always a liar.

But Theo isn’t backing down. Instead, he’s hustling for my forgiveness. If I give him another chance, will he live up to his apologies? Or am I just lying to myself?

This story really turned it around for Eddie Sims. I’ve got to say he was probably my least favorite player on the team up until this book. Eddie (Theo) redeems himself in a big way in this story. Sofia is recovering from a broken heart and starting over. A chance encounter in Maui turns into a crazy coincidence in Boston. Can I tell you how much I love this hockey family that Azzi has created? I love how the other wives and girlfriends draw Sofia in and welcome her to the group. Theo is so patient and so amazing with Sofia. He’s in it for the long haul. This book made me cry and steamed up the pages. It’s about love, life, and living each moment to its fullest. Fabulous story! Don’t miss it! 4.5 stars!
