SECRET HUSBAND
Kate Meader
Release Date: July 14
Years ago, I broke her heart, but fate has given me a second chance. I am here to claim my wife—and I will fight dirty to make her mine.
Lauren
I might be late to the game of life, but things are finally starting to go my way. I’ve just started my own sports talent agency, stepped on the first rung of the property ladder, and landed myself a normal boyfriend who’s about to propose. (I found the ring!)
Unfortunately, I have a slight problem—as in a husband who is surplus to requirements. Somehow, I got married without even realizing it to the guy who broke my heart years ago. Now he’s back in my life, making demands and turning my world upside down. Except I’m no longer that starry-eyed girl in love with the Russian hockey star. These days I’m a ball buster who fights like hell for my clients, and the last thing I need is Alexei Nazarov ruining everything for which I’ve worked so hard.
But when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I wonder if I’ve struck a bargain with the devil who knows my heart better than anyone …
Alexei
Years ago, I met a hockey playing spitfire and fell ass over skates for her. But my life was in disarray, and I had to let her go. When a chance comes to reconnect with her, I grab it with both hands.
There are obstacles. A boyfriend (unworthy), her disdain for me (admittedly, hot), and the fact I hurt her deeply (my biggest regret). It won’t be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is. Known for fighting dirty on the ice, I am not opposed to fighting dirty off it to get what I want.
And I want Lauren Yates …

Review:
Alexi “he falls first and hard” Nazarov and Lauren’s story was everything!
They had a (secret) relationship in college…it ended badly, and when Alexi reached out again, he was blocked. Then came that weekend in Vegas…
Lauren’s had trust issues since her childhood–rightly so, given her father–so Alexi had an uphill battle convincing her to give their (once again, secret) marriage a chance. He’s more than up to the challenge, though, even as he’s got so many other things needing his time–he’s moved to a new town, he has a new team, his father’s health is deteriorating quickly–but of course they both have the Chicago Rebels family in their corner.
If only Alexi will trust that they’ve got his back…because, yeah. He’s got his own issues with trusting and leaning others.
Fortunately, the Chicago Rebels won’t let either of them fall through the cracks, and even though the path to their HEA is often rocky, they get there in the end with the help of their friends and family. Be warned, though–there may be a few tears shed near the end. Even more if you pick up the bonus epilogue from Ms Meader’s website. (DO IT. Always pick up the bonus epilogues. You won’t be sorry!)
Now I’m going to keep myself busy waiting for the next book (it’s Rosie and Conor, right? I want it to be Rosie and Conor!) by re-reading Man Down for some OG Lauren Yates 🙂
Rating: 5 stars / A
