About this eBook

Hot in Chicago series author Kate Meader returns with her all new, scorching Chicago Rebels hockey series, featuring her signature “steamy sex scenes, colorful characters, and riveting dialogue” (Romantic Times). Three estranged sisters inherit their late father’s failing hockey franchise and are forced to confront a man’s world, their family’s demons, and the battle-hardened ice warriors skating into their hearts.

Harper Chase has just become the most powerful woman in the NHL after the death of her father Clifford Chase, maverick owner of the Chicago Rebels. But the team is a hot mess—underfunded, overweight, and close to tapping out of the league. Hell-bent on turning the luckless franchise around, Harper won’t let anything stand in her way. Not her gender, not her sisters, and especially not a veteran player with an attitude problem and a smoldering gaze designed to melt her ice-compacted defenses.

Veteran center Remy “Jinx” DuPre is on the downside of a career that’s seen him win big sponsorships, fans’ hearts, and more than a few notches on his stick. Only one goal has eluded him: the Stanley Cup. Sure, he’s been labeled as the unluckiest guy in the league, but with his recent streak of good play, he knows this is his year. So why the hell is he being shunted off to a failing hockey franchise run by a ball-buster in heels? And is she seriously expecting him to lead her band of misfit losers to a coveted spot in the playoffs?

He’d have a better chance of leading Harper on a merry skate to his bed…

I wasn't sure I was going to like Harper.  When you first meet her she's a little harsh and brittle but Meader makes sure that you understand that most of it is a front.  She's under a lot of stress, with a lot of insecurities from her youth, and being thrown into the same orbit as her half-sisters and the man that she can't have isn't helping.  Before too long I found myself with all sorts of feels for the poor woman.  But you can't feel too bad for her once Remy turns his attention her way! The youngest with a whole passel of sisters and nieces, Remy was guaranteed to be perfect hero material ... even if he is surrounded by testosterone as a hockey player :)  He's patient and understanding, but also with a streak of charming bad boy in him.  He's the perfect balance of Alpha and sensitive.  He's good for Harper, supportive & caring, and he keeps her life from overtaking her.   My only trouble was with the ending because it's just hard when Harper has been so adamant about how she is perceived.  But you knew it was going to work out some way and I'm pretty sure that this is the only way it would have been satisfying.   Definitely an engrossing read and I'm so intrigued by the other sisters & where there stories are going.  Meader did an amazing job of giving this group of people complexity and depth.  You can't help but want to get to know all of their secrets! *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***

I adored Kate Meader's Chicago firemen but I do believe her hot Chicago hockey guys have them beat!! Remy was fantastic and Harper was the perfect match for him. In the last year of his career Remy DuPre gets traded to the bottom of the barrel Chicago Rebels and let's just say he's not too happy about it. With the last goal of holding the cup on the line he makes a deal with the tough as nails owner Harper Chase. He'll play as hard as he can and lead the team as long as she agrees to trade him to a contending team in 3 months. Everything seems fine until he starts to care a little too much. For his team and for Harper! A fun sexy read I highly recommend.

4.5 Stars I can tell you after reading this book I'm hooked on the series. I didn't want this book to end it was so good. It's a hockey romance and right now that's one of the genres I'm devouring so this book is right up my alley. I loved that the owners of the team are three sisters. They have to find their way with each other though thanks to dear old dad. Can I say I'm not a fan of him. Harper is putting a lot on her shoulders and doesn't believe in herself like she should. She's in for one heck of a surprise when she signs Remy. He's going to change her life like she never imagined. Remy is great hero material in just the the little things he does for Harper, but he is going to have his work cut out for him because he's sleeping with the boss. This book has a great combination of humor, heart, heat, and story. I'm highly anticipating the next book in the series.

About the author

Originally from Ireland, Kate Meader cut her romance reader teeth on Maeve Binchy and Jilly Cooper novels, with some Harlequins thrown in for variety. Give her tales about brooding mill owners, oversexed equestrians, and men who can rock an apron, a fire hose, or a hockey stick, and she's there. Now based in Chicago, she writes sexy contemporary romance with alpha heroes and strong heroines (and heroes) who can match their men quip for quip. Visit her at KateMeader.com.
