in Chicago series author Kate
Meader returns with her all new, scorching Chicago Rebels hockey series, featuring her signature “steamy sex
scenes, colorful characters, and riveting dialogue” (Romantic Times).
Three estranged sisters inherit their late father’s failing hockey franchise
and are forced to confront a man’s world, their family’s demons, and the
battle-hardened ice warriors skating into their hearts.
Harper Chase has just become the most powerful woman in the NHL after the death of her father Clifford Chase, maverick owner of the Chicago Rebels. But the team is a hot mess—underfunded, overweight, and close to tapping out of the league. Hell-bent on turning the luckless franchise around, Harper won’t let anything stand in her way. Not her gender, not her sisters, and especially not a veteran player with an attitude problem and a smoldering gaze designed to melt her ice-compacted defenses.
Veteran center Remy “Jinx” DuPre is on the downside of a career that’s seen him win big sponsorships, fans’ hearts, and more than a few notches on his stick. Only one goal has eluded him: the Stanley Cup. Sure, he’s been labeled as the unluckiest guy in the league, but with his recent streak of good play, he knows this is his year. So why the hell is he being shunted off to a failing hockey franchise run by a ball-buster in heels? And is she seriously expecting him to lead her band of misfit losers to a coveted spot in the playoffs?
He’d have a better chance of leading Harper on a merry skate to his bed…

Originally
from Ireland, USA Today bestselling author Kate Meader cut her
romance reader teeth on Maeve Binchy and Jilly Cooper novels, with some
Harlequins thrown in for variety. Give her tales about brooding mill owners,
oversexed equestrians, and men who can rock an apron or a fire hose, and she’s
there. Now based in Chicago, she writes sexy contemporary romance with alpha
heroes and strong heroines who can match their men quip for quip.

Ms Meader does it again!
In Irresistible You, she returns us to Chicago, this time with a professional hockey team - The Rebels. We have family drama, team drama, and an unlikely romance between team owner and a player.
Harper is the oldest of three estranged sisters forced to work together to run the Rebels team by the terms of her father's will. Remy is player toward the end of his career and unwillingly traded to the Rebels team.
Well written and fun, Ms. Meader takes this unlikely couple and the people around them on a romantic, sexy, and emotional journey. Harper and Remy have an antagonistic beginning, but the more they are together, we see him unlock parts of her emotional life that lead to wonderful changes all around. Both characters were easy to like, but I was particularly fond of the super sexy, Cajun Remy. Harper is crustier and harder to relate to at first, but her evolution is one that makes you root for her to find her happy ending.
This is the first book in a new series, but is a complete story all on it's own. We meet Harper's sisters and they are key secondary cast members, along with the Rebels players and Remy's family, but the focus is Harper and Remy. This is definitely a series I want to read more of!
