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 … 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.
Vadim has a first name that means “ruler,” and it doesn’t stop at his birth certificate. He dominates on the ice, the practice rink, and in the backseat of a limo. But a knee injury has produced a bad year, and bad years in the NHL don’t go unrewarded. His penance? To be traded to a troubled team where his personal coach is Isobel Chase, the woman who drove him wild years ago when they were hormonal teens. But apparently the feeling was not entirely mutual.
That Vadim might have failed to give Isobel the pleasure that was her right is intolerable, and he plans to make it up to her–one bone-melting orgasm at a time. After all, no player can perfect his game without a helluva lot of practice…more
So Over You is a beast. It continues the legacy of epic love and hard hitting characters that Kate Meader is known for. Isobel is a woman a chip on her shoulder, a lot to prove and the spirit to back it up. A fighter of the highest order, I love that she continues to be the fighter she was meant to be despite, life’s hard knocks. The girl with a dream is intent on making the goal in a male dominated sport. Nothing can stop this champion from striking gold. Not even an egotistical, tempting and frustrating blast from her past. When the chips are down, this is a fight to the finish that could result in the ultimate score for both teams. It’s characters like Isobel that gives women the strength to follow their heart and that is a legacy to be proud of.
Another enjoyable hockey story in Kate Meader’s Chicago Rebels series!
Lots of emotional ups and downs for both Isobel and Vadim, both personally in their relationship with one another and professionally as they both struggle to find their respective spots within the hockey league. Unfortunately, both of their pasts continue to influence their present views which leads to more conflict. Without giving anything away, there’s a lot of additional drama on different levels going which adds depth to the story.
