Book Review for Jock Wanted by Kate Meader

 Release Date: June 14

She has her heart set on a hockey player. Any hockey player.

When the new general manager of the Chicago Rebels tasks Tara Becker with faking it with one of his players to help clean up the naughty jock's act, she's all over it. She'll make that misbehaving hunk of muscle look good and get her dream guy into the bargain.

Only the path from fake to real is riddled with thorns . . .

New Rebels GM Hale Fitzpatrick thinks ditzy blonde and wannabe WAG Tara is the perfect solution to his PR problem - until she isn't. Soon Fitz realizes that maybe he doesn't have control of the strings after all . . . especially when he starts to fall for his pretty little puppet.

A fake relationship hockey romance - with a twist!

What a fantastic read, we loved this one, we laughed throughout the entire story. We loved the characters, they were a lot of fun, engaging and funny and loveable ones too!

Tara was a riot, OMG! We loved her sass her out going personality and her antic's especially her antics and the way she got under Fitz's skin just priceless.

A great read all around that we thoroughly enjoyed from cover to cover.

Book Review for Up in Smoke (Hot in Chicago Rookies #1) by Kate Meader

 Release Date: February 22

Lives are on the line at Engine 6 … and so are hearts.

 

Newly-minted firefighter Abby Sullivan is exactly where she wants to be: Chicago Fire Department’s Engine 6, the station where her mom blazed a trail as one of the first female firefighters in the city. The first to fall in the line of duty, too. All Abby wants is to succeed, but that’s a tough proposition when people only see a feel-good story, a token woman failing at a man’s job, or the princess in need of protection. And the man tasked with watching her six? 

 

Lieutenant Roman Rossi, the one person she can’t let close. 

 

Having the daughter of his boss and nemesis under his wing shouldn’t be a problem for Roman—he’s a professional and can treat her like any other firefighter rookie. Except she happens to be the gorgeous woman he once shared a slice of cherry pie with, followed by the hottest, sweetest, most pulse-pounding kiss of his life. He didn’t know her name but he had planned to find out.

 

Now Roman knows exactly who Abby is: a threat to his self-control more dangerous than a five-alarm blaze. Lust has no place in the firehouse, and a distraction like Abby with her electric blue eyes, waves of flame-red hair, and freckles Roman wants to map with his tongue, is one he can ill afford. 

 

Because one wrong move … and it could all go up in smoke.

 

Up in Smoke is the first in the brand new Hot in Chicago Rookies series about firefighters navigating the trials of new jobs and sizzling romances as they find their place in the world and the love of a lifetime.

We enjoyed the story and its characters, and we really loved Roman, what an awesome character he was sweet kind, loving, alpha, had a wicked sense of humor when I think of him easy going and protective comes to mind, and we loved that he fought for his and his families' happiness.

The story gave off the feel of a forbidden romance  but, when chemistry and attraction overrule common sense, it just becomes one giant complication.

I liked Abby well enough, we just didn't love her loved how determined and goal driven she was bright and easy going she also had a wicked sense of humor but, what we didn't like is we felt she was playing with Roman's heart as well as his emotions and her constant denials never matched up with her actions. Their chemistry sizzle outside the bedroom, and we thought they would make a wonderful couple.

Overall, the story had constant drama and was fun and flirty. Roman's life will never be dual as Abby is clearly and little rule breaker...

Review for Rebel Yule by Kate Meader

 Release Date: October 12 

A holiday entry in the Rookie Rebels series, featuring a player who’s been here from the start . . . 

Goalie Erik "Fish" Jorgenson finally gets his shot at love . . . but first he'll have to figure out what he did to offend the woman he's had his eye on for some time. Can a little Yuletide cheer get him into her good graces, warm bed, and frozen heart? Or will he fumble the puck and lose his chance? 

Join the Chicago Rebels this holiday season and find out if Erik is as good at saving Christmas as he is at saving goals!

This was a really cute holiday story with family and friends, along with celebrating deeply ingrained family traditions for the Christmas Holiday.

Casey's track record with men leaves her skiddish and vulnerable until one sexy and hot hockey player from her past tries to prove to her that all men are not the same but, he never realized he was one of those men from her past.

We loved this holiday romp that had a great cast of characters. We loved the Erick's interactions with his friends and family and team members. Not only that, but we found Erick to being a sweetheart and gentle and kind and down to earth, along with being a family man who loved his family deeply.

We thought Casey and Erick made a cute couple, and we were rooting for them to move on from the past and try to see if there was something lasting. They were really perfect for one another and had great chemistry, simply put they just fit. We found Erick doing the sweetest things that made us smile. This was a brand-new author for us, and we really loved our first read by them and looking to pick up the rest of the series and get caught up as we are already loving what we are seeing from the previous characters. What a fun read and toughly enjoyable.
