Rookie Rebels #1-3
Rookie Rebels: Books 1-3
A spin-off series from Kate Meader's bestselling Chicago Rebels hockey romances, the Rookie Rebels feature heroes who are “rookies” but not in the way you think. No green, fresh-out-of-college man babies here! These are weathered guys who’ve had their NHL careers put on hold for reasons such as military service, life-threatening injury, or unspeakable tragedy. Their second acts and roads to redemption will be with everyone’s favorite hockey team, the Chicago Rebels!
Book 1: Good Guy (Levi and Jordan)
He's a Special Forces veteran making his pro hockey debut. She's a dogged sports reporter determined to get a scoop. She's also his best friend's widow . . .
Book 2: Instacrush (Theo and Elle)
Her hot hockey player neighbor is the most annoying man on the planet ... and she does not have a crush on him (okay, it's tiny, minuscule, not even worth talking about). But one sexy Santa visit, a plate of chicken parm, and a pair of dino-briefs later - don't ask - and they're celebrating the holidays horizontally. And that mistake leads to another: the pregnant kind. Oops.
Book 3: Man Down (Gunnar and Sadie)
He's been texting the wife he lost, the woman he loved beyond measure . . . Now someone else has answered back.
Each book is completely standalone and features one primary couple, a guaranteed happily-ever-after, and no cliffhangers! Get started with the Rookie Rebels today.

2/5 🌶️🌶️
5/5 Super Glutes
Book 1 was cute but predictable.
Book 2 was my favorite.
Book 3 was a hard read.
They were all good in different ways, but they all had one perky, optimistic partner paired with a grumpy closed off partner. I love a good golden retriever personally and Super Glutes is the best. It is a bit soap opera-y but entertaining.

If you haven't already read all of these books, what are you waiting for? Instagram star and introvert, best friend of deceased husband crushing on widow, and widower who meets the love of his life through a text to his deceased wife. If Man Down doesn't leave you in tears, get your heart checked.
It's a great collection, and if it's your intro to the Rookie Rebels series, welcome aboard.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I never expected I'd find it so easy to fall into sync with a book based on hockey players, but this team is just so easy to fall head over heels with. I'd recommend this read to anyone that is a fan of competitive sports, hot athletes and finding romance in unexpected places.

These three books are the best in the series, hands down. However, the entire series is great.

I really enjoyed the ease of these stories.
These are well developed and plotted.
I loved how integrated all of the characters are and the depth given to each character.
