SYNOPSIS:

The steamy Chicago Rebels series returns with this racy and sassy tale of embittered hearts, second chances, and going for the goal—on and off the ice.

Violet Vasquez never met her biological father, so learning he left his beloved hockey franchise—the Chicago Rebels—to her is, well, unexpected. Flat broke and close to homeless, Violet is determined to make the most of this sudden opportunity. Except dear old dad set conditions that require she takes part in actually running the team with the half-sisters she barely knows. Working with these two strangers and overseeing a band of hockey-playing lugs is not on her agenda…until she lays eyes on the Rebels captain and knows she has to have him.

Bren St. James has been labeled a lot of things: the Puck Prince, Lord of the Ice, Hell’s Highlander…but it’s the latest tag that’s making headlines: washed-up alcoholic has-been. This season, getting his life back on track and winning the Cup are his only goals. With no time for relationships—except the fractured ones he needs to rebuild with his beautiful daughters—he’s finding it increasingly hard to ignore sexy, all-up-in-his-beard Violet Vasquez. And when he finds himself in need of a nanny just as the playoffs are starting, he’s faced with a temptation he could so easily get hooked on.

For two lost souls, there’s more on the line than just making the best of a bad situation… there might also be a shot at the biggest prize of all: love.

I have been one of the masses waiting for this book and Meader did not disappoint. Violet and Bren's story can be read as a stand alone, their romance starts and ends with this book I would recommend reading the previous ones just so you know what's going on with the Rebels hockey team and the other's characters. I fell in love with Kate Meader from the first book (technically it was a novella) of hers that I read, Rekindle the Flame I fell in love with the Hot in Chicago series and a certain firefighter and former mayor make a cameo appearance in this book. Meader's writing pulls you in, I get so emotionally invested in these books I always end up laughing out loud and crying my eyes out and at times both.

Violet for being as brash and in your face at times is still trying to get use to her new life, not only did she get a second chance after beating cancer but the father she never knew, the father who never wanted her gave her one third of his hockey team. Granted he apparently knew her well enough to know she would shake things up between her other two sisters but she did so in a way that brought them all closer together in a way their father probably never realized would happen.

Bren more than anything wants to be a good father to his girls, he sobered up for them only to have his ex take them away. Bren is taking things one day at a time one game at a time and now the Rebels are in the playoffs for the Stanley Cup and he needs all his focus in winning that cup so of course that's when everything happens. His ex needs a "rest" so he gets his girls now and he's not going to give them up this time; he's better than what he use to be and even better with them in his life. But with the playoffs he's going to need childcare and Violet is there to help.

For almost a year the chemistry has been simmering between Violet and Bren, from the moment they saw each other the wanted each other but Bren had just gotten out of rehab and Violet had just found out she was now an owner of the Rebels. The next nine months Bren has done his best to avoid her and Violet has done her best to tease him but when he needs her she's there to help with the girls, who are adorable by the way. But the days to come test their relationship in more ways than one. Overall it was an outstanding conculsion to the series, it was so good. The romance was so hot and wooo Bren could make you weak at the knees. Violet is such a great character she's one of my favorites of this series. I can't decide if I love the Hockey players more or the firefighters. Meader knows how to write a steamy romance with fantastic characters and I can't wait to see what she got for us next.
