Description
Three estranged sisters struggle to sustain their late father's failing hockey franchise in Kate Meader's sizzling Chicago Rebels series. In this second entry, middle sister Isobel is at a crossroads in her personal and professional lives. But both are about to get a significant boost with the addition of a domineering Russian powerhouse to the Rebels . . . Isobel Chase knows hockey. She played NCAA, won silver at the Games, and made it thirty-seven minutes into the new National Women's Hockey League before an injury sidelined her dreams. Those who can't, coach, and a position as a skating consultant to her late father's hockey franchise, the Chicago Rebels, seems like a perfect fit. Until she's assigned her first job: the man who skated into her heart as a teen and relieved her of her pesky virginity. These days, left-winger Vadim Petrov is known as the Czar of Pleasure, a magnet for puck bunnies and the tabloids alike. But back then . . . let's just say his inability to sink the puck left Isobel frustratingly scoreless. Contains mature themes.… (more)
User reviews
Isobel and Vadim's story drew me in from the very first page--and not just because a significant life event for both of them took place in my hometown. (Yes, Buffalo is a hockey town! Fictional characters saying it is all the validation I need--thanks, Kate Meader :)) Their past
Would Isobel really risk her life to play hockey once again? Could Vadim's newly-discovered little sister bring him and his mother back together? Will coaching ever be enough for Isobel, and is coaching in the NHL even a possibility? Is Vad's knee good enough to get the team to the playoffs? Will the team stay in the Chase sisters' hands? Is Isobel or Vadim to blame for what happened the first time around, or were they just not meant to be? Can they start over again now? Should they?
And most importantly--is Little Vadim really his :most improved area" since they were last together? These questions and more needed to be answered!
Fortunately, they do get answered...eventually...and the ending of this book not only has me all but salivating for the next two, it also nearly had me clapping with glee. (Hard to do with just one hand while the other holds the ereader, though...)
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
“So over it.”
As my review. Reasons...I was bored. Life is too short. Cut and paste generic Barbie/bunny/boobs and attractive women not being smart comments from sooooo many others in the genre. I find this dumb bimbo thing so annoying bc

This was good. Loved seeing how the Rebels team is shaping up and all the hijinks the Chase sisters
I love Vadim and his flair for the dramatics.
