REVIEW:
4 stars
This is the second book in the series and Theo's eldest. I couldn't wait for Hatch's story, but a little leery at the same time because Summer was his teammate's girl. I shouldn't have worried with a book by Kate Meader. Not gonna lie Hatch was rubbing me the wrong way in the beginning, but once we get into his head it all makes sense. I loved the banter between Hatch and Summer. Summer deserves all the happiness because life hasn't been too kind to her. Man I was not a fan of Carter, what a jerk! The Kershaw family will forever be a favorite of mine. This book as the first book did made me fall in love with them all over again. A really good story with a wonderful cast of characters. I'm already excited for the next book after the tease we got. It's going to be good!

BLURB:
She just jilted my teammate at the altar and I helped her escape. We don’t get along, but I’ll still keep her safe … and pray she never learns how I really feel about her.

Summer

I can’t marry him.

I have no good reason to jilt my hockey player fiancé, except that the closer we get to the big day, the more I feel myself shrinking to a hollow shell. Two minutes after I slip into the church bathroom to calm my pre-wedding jitters, I jump out the window to make my escape …

… and land on Hatch Kershaw, my fiancé’s teammate on the Chicago Rebels.

This guy has always hated me for reasons I can’t fathom. Half the time he looks right through me, like I’m no better than the ice shavings on his skate blades. The other half? That brooding green gaze strips me bare and sees right into my soul.

Neither option is good for me, so I really shouldn’t want his help … should I?

Hatch

The bride hit me like a ton of bricks.

The last thing I expected was for my teammate’s bride to ask for my help in fleeing her wedding. Make that the second last—even more unexpected is that I said “yes.” Before I know it, I’ve driven her to my family’s vacation home because I’m a nice guy and she needs to catch her breath.

Only now, I can’t breathe around her.

Summer Landry and I have never hit it off, so why the hell am I going along with this madness? Every stolen glance and accidental touch tell me she’s off-limits, while each torturous second with her in our lakeside hideaway has me questioning everything I thought I knew about who she is and what she’s hiding.

No one can know what I did—not my teammate, not my family, not the media—or all hell will break loose. Most of all, Summer can never know why I dislike her so much.

Because if she did, I might not recover.

*`Review: Sweet Thing by Kate Meader`*

Title: Sweet Thing
Series: Chicago Players #1
Author: Kate Meader

REVIEW:
4.5 stars
This is the first book of the second generation for the Rebels world. I am here for it! This one sure started it off with a bang. A single dad, yes please! Even more intrigue an age gap and Lars is BBFs with his teammate who happens to be her dad. Great chemistry between the two. Lars is the support Adeline needs right now even if she doesn't realize it at the time. Don't even get me started when it comes to Lars in dad mode. The scenes with his little girl Mabel just melted my heart. Lars' backstory with his dad makes it hard for him to see that he is worthy of a family. It wouldn't be a book Theo in it if it didn't have a great sense of humor. I may have squeed quite often when Theo appears in the book. Always one of my top book boyfriends. A roller coaster of emotions for me towards the end, but so worth the journey for where these two end up. It's so perfect! I love the tease for the next book in the series. It's going to be quite interesting! 

BLURB:
A surprise single dad, nanny, age gap, hockey romance!

Lars

I just found out I’m a dad.

My one-night stand dropped a baby bombshell in my local bar where I was celebrating my team’s win. Then she fled, leaving me holding my new daughter.

Thank God for Adeline. The daughter of my teammate and closest friend on the Chicago Rebels, she practically raised her little sister and knows exactly how to deal with this situation. I need a nanny; she needs a job. Problem sorted, right?

Not so fast …

Adeline

I think you’re the sexiest guy alive.

That’s what Lars Nyquist overheard me say while recounting my embarrassing crush on him. Yeah, that Lars Nyquist. Defenseman for the Chicago Rebels. Owner of the thickest thighs in the league. More than a decade my senior. Oh, and my dad’s teammate.

My only option? Leave the country, of course. Luckily, I’d already planned a round-the-world trip with my bestie and by the time I returned to Chicago a year later, I expected my blunder would be long forgotten. Shows what I know. Now I’m lying awake in the bedroom next to his while playing nanny to his surprise little girl. But I can ignore this stupid infatuation. I have to. Even though the sight of Lars learning to be a dad leaves me breathless and takes that crush to a whole other level.

One that has the potential to break my sorry little heart …

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
I so loved this novella so much. We get to see some of our favorite Rebels years down the road. Though Theo and Elle are the main ones and their kids. It really made me so happy to see Theo and Elle living their best life. As it is with this crew it's fun and crazy. I love what is still to come for them. I'm so excited to see the next generation in the rest of the series. This was such a delight to read. You can't go wrong with a book set during the holidays, but in the Rebels world even better.

BLURB:

Includes a sneak peek at Sweet Thing, the first in a new hockey romance series from Kate Meader.

*`Book Blitz: Roped Into Paradise`*

Roped Into Paradise: A Sweet Cruise Rom-Com
Shanna Hatfield
Publication date: January 29th 2026
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

A cowboy, a cruise, and a meddling grandma—what could go wrong?
JJ McKade expected to spend two weeks with his grandmother at her condo in sunny Florida, celebrating her birthday. Instead, he got shanghaied by his mischievous grandma on a Caribbean cruise—complete with hot pink luggage, a gaggle of giggling octogenarians, and a humiliating childhood nickname haunting his every move.

Between meddling matchmakers, unexpected friendships, and the endless chaos of cruise life, JJ can’t help being drawn to Kinsley Kline, the ship’s enchanting horticulturist. There’s just one catch: crew fraternizing with passengers is strictly forbidden.

With only a few months left in her contract aboard The Affinity, Kinsley can’t let anything rock her boat or derail her plans. Then the arrival of a hunky cowboy on the ship makes her question if some rules are meant to be broken, and a little boat rocking is a good thing.

From sun-drenched beaches to moonlit strolls, JJ and Kinsley must decide if an onboard romance can last on land, and if love is worth risking their hearts.

Packed with laughter, longing, and a grandmother who refuses to play by the rules, Roped Into Paradise is a heartwarming romantic comedy about family, hope, and finding love where you least expect it. Perfect for fans of witty banter, slow-burn romance, and cruise ship escapades that sweep you off your feet.

*`Book Blitz: The Rewrite`*

The Rewrite
Beth Rinyu
Publication date: January 29th 2026
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

How long would you hold a grudge?

If you’re Eloise Hendrickson, the answer is twenty-five years. After being humiliated by her overseas pen pal in seventh grade, Eloise, now a successful writer, has never quite let go of that one mortifying moment. One bad breakup, a late night of drunken internet sleuthing, and a half-baked excuse to bust through writer’s block send her straight into the path of the boy she’s hated her whole life.

Her plan? Turn him into the villain of her next novel.
The plot twist? He’s not the jerk she remembers.

Instead, he’s a charming chocolatier, a devoted family man, and awkwardly, a huge fan of her books. But as Eloise reconnects with the past, it’s not him who captures her attention, it’s someone else entirely. Someone unexpected. He’s rude, infuriating, and gets under her skin like no one else. He’s the exact opposite of the heroes she creates and the men she dates.

With new friends, a fresh perspective, and possibly the beginnings of something romantic—Eloise must decide if she’s finally ready to let go of the perfection she’s always demanded from herself as well as everyone around her, and embrace the unpredictable, wonderfully flawed life waiting for her. Maybe her next bestseller won’t be about righting the past after all. Maybe it will be about rewriting the future instead.

Warning: This book may contain chocolate and possibly a happily ever after.
