Isobel Chase knows hockey. 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...

Meader serves up a delicious mix of sports, sexy romance, and complicated, captivating characters with her second Chicago Rebels hockey contemporary (after Irresistible You). Hockey has always been Isobel Chase’s life, first as the daughter of Clifford Chase—the late hockey legend, Rebels owner, and all-around jerk—and then in her own right, though her career ended with a skate blade to the skull in her first professional game. Now she’s running the Rebels with her sisters and trying to avoid her team’s newest recruit, Vadim Petrov. Isobel has a checkered past with the gorgeous, brooding Russian. Her father blackballed him from the NHL to keep him away from Isobel, and Vadim still resents it. Isobel also still remembers her first sexual experience, in which Vadim failed to satisfy her. As they reconnect, he vows to do better this time around. Meader’s erotic scenes could melt ice, and her complex protagonists will keep readers eagerly turning pages. -

Things heat up on the ice in Meader's latest installment of the Chicago Rebels series (Irresistible You, 2017). Isobel Chase is hockey royalty. She's an Olympic medalist, co-owner of the Chicago Rebels, and daughter to America's own version of Gretzky, Clifford Chase. Her life sounds perfect, except for one tiny problem. Isobel's career-ending injury during her first professional game took away the only passion she had, and now she's left coaching for the Rebels. And her latest pupil is her toughest. Vadim Petrov is one of the hottest NHL stars on and off the ice. Something as trivial as a knee injury won't bring him down. Except for Isobel. She skated into his heart as a teenager and never left. As old feelings return, the two must make a decision: remain as coach and player, or become more? Isobel and Vadim's chemistry is off the charts, and Meader's engaging details of hockey and Chicago pull you further into their world. Even nonhockey fans will be rooting for the Rebels by the last page.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
