Release Day Review! HOCKEY WIFE by Kate Meader (Rookie Rebels #9)

Published by beckymmoe on 09/16/2024

“I need us to stay married, Big Guy.” Recently traded to the Chicago Rebels, hockey veteran Dylan “Banks” Bankowski is adjusting to what might be his last team and his final year in the NHL. That means taking care of his battered body while he strives for the one goal that’s managed to elude him: a championship ring. What he does not need is a visit from the woman to whom he gave a different kind of ring months ago. His young, flighty, socialite wife. Apparently, signing the annulment papers within a week of their quickie wedding in Vegas didn’t…

Release Day Review! WILD RIDE by Kate Meader (Rookie Rebels #8)

Published by beckymmoe on 03/26/2024

Chicago Rebels hockey player Dex O’Malley has been a naughty boy … again. Only his latest stunt isn’t quite like when he was caught with his pants down at a nightclub or was cited for drag-racing on Lake Shore Drive or even that time he said a few critical things about his teammates on a hockey podcast. Oops. This time, Dex is in real trouble, the kind that could get him kicked off the team and out of the league. And that cannot happen. Hockey is the only thing he’s ever been good at. The only thing he cares about.…

Published by beckymmoe on 05/03/2023

There isn’t a blurb yet for this book–Kate Meader is still finishing up the final Hot in Chicago Rookies book (Hot to the Touch)–but we have a cover, and I had to share! If you’ve been reading the rest of the books in the Rookie Rebels series, you’ll probably remember Dex O’Malley (ie Sexy Dexy) from Jock Wanted–Tara and Hale’s book–Dex was the PR nightmare who had to rehab his bad boy image by pretending to date Tara. Spoiler alert–he didn’t end up with Tara. 😉 If you haven’t read all–or any–of the previous Rookie Rebels book, you’ve got time!…

New Release Review! DOWN IN FLAMES by Kate Meader (Hot in Chicago Rookies #2)

Published by beckymmoe on 12/08/2022

A brand new MM standalone from Kate Meader! It was supposed to be a random hookup. At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute . . . Then he ghosted me when it got to…

New Release Review! MAN DOWN by Kate Meader (Rookie Rebels #3)

Published by beckymmoe on 08/02/2020

I’ve been texting the wife I lost, the woman I loved beyond measure … Now someone else has answered back. Gunnar Bond is broken. Three years ago, he lived through the car crash that took his wife and twins away from him—though “lived” barely describes his current state. Giving up professional hockey, going off grid, and drinking himself into oblivion are his coping mechanisms. Another is texting his dead wife about his days without her. Therapeutic? Doubtful. Crazy? Definitely. But those messages into the ether are virtually the only thing stopping him from spiraling to even darker places. Until someone…
