About this ebook

Theo Kershaw is the luckiest guy alive. 

Roaring back from a life-threatening injury, he has the world at his skates as defenseman for his new team, the Chicago Rebels. Everyone adores his big personality, his on-ice talent, and his killer smile. Everyone but his prickly neighbor - or so he thinks. One chilly Christmas Eve, he'll learn that maybe the girl next door isn't such a hater after all ...

Elle Butler is the most embarrassing person on the planet. 

How else can the ex-military-now-bartender explain her crush on the hot jock who lives across the hall? True, he has gorgeous green eyes and perfect cheekbones, but the filter between his brain and too-sexy mouth is permanently malfunctioning. Yet she can't stop checking out his Instagram antics or sneaking looks at him when he's in her bar. So. Mortifying. Running from a past filled with damning secrets, Elle's determined that this guilty pleasure remains buried in her deepest fantasies.

Because she couldn't possibly indulge with the Theo Kershaw. Or make a mistake that draws attention to her under-the-radar life. And she especially couldn't be a mom to a pro-athlete's baby ... could she?

In this standalone sports romance set in the Chicago Rebels world, a new generation of players take to the ice and learn that all's fair in love and hockey.

Theo and Elle’s love story in Instacrush by Kate Meader, book 2 in the Rookie Rebels series, was an intriguing, sexy, and enjoyable tale. Theo has returned to the ice and the world of hockey after a life-threatening injury. He has the world by its tail with his amazing, outgoing personality, his on-ice talent, and his killer looks. Everyone adores him, except possibly his neighbor; or maybe she secretly does. Ex-military and now bartender, Elle cannot believe she is crushing on the hot hockey player across the hall or checking out his Instagram antics or sneaking peeks at him when he’s visiting her roommate or when he’s in her bar. She has fled from a past filled with secrets and is trying to avoid any attention that could be drawn to her. So spending a fantasy filled day with Theo needs to be kept secret. Unfortunately, fate, or is it karma, has other plans a few weeks later; she couldn’t be a mom to a pro-athlete's baby. Ms. Meader wrote a fun, flirty, sexy sports romance that should not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sexual chemistry, humor, wonderful dialogue, and endearing characters giving Theo and Elle a chance to at love, trust, and the chance to be a family for their little Hatchling . I loved the dinosaur references and how supportive Theo’s grandmother was. I also admired Theo for his romantic streak, giving Elle the charm bracelet and the meaning of behind the charms. I highly recommend Instacrush to other readers and look forward to the next book in this series. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
