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...
Fans can’t get enough of Levi Hunt, the Special Forces veteran who put his NHL career on hold to serve his country and fight the bad guys. So when his new Chicago Rebels bosses tell him to cooperate with the press on a profile, he’s ready to do his duty. Until he finds out who he has to work with: flame-haired, freckle-splashed, impossibly perky Jordan Cooke.
The woman he should not have kissed the night she buried her husband, Levi’s best friend in the service.
Hockey-stick-up-his-butt-serious Levi Hunt might despise Jordan for reasons she can’t fathom—okay, it’s to do with kissing—but her future in the cutthroat world of sports reporting hangs on delivering the goods on the league’s hottest, grumpiest rookie. So what if he’s not interested in having his life plated up for public consumption. Too bad. Jordan will have to play dirty to get her scoop and even dirtier to get her man. Only in winning the story, she might just lose her heart...

I was excited to read the first book in Kate Meader’s new series the Rookie Rebels. The two main characters, Levi and Jordan care about each other but are afraid to show their true feelings. I found it easy to connect with the characters and I enjoyed reading their story.
Levi gave up his dream of playing professional hockey when he joined the military and became a Green Beret. Now, at the age of thirty, he can’t believe he has the chance to play professional hockey with the Rebels. The Rebels are not your typical hockey team, they don’t do things by the book, they do things their way. Levi is different from the other hockey player and everyone is interested in his story, but Levi is reluctant to talk about himself.
Jordan’s husband died in the military when she was only twenty-three and now she is a reporter trying to make a name for herself. Levi was a friend of Jordan’s husband and she is not happy when she is assigned to get Levi’s story. Jordan isn’t sure what to do, she doesn’t want Levi to think she is trying to take advantage of their past relationship. To make matters worse, their is a spark between Levi and Jordan, which they find hard to avoid. I enjoyed this heartwarming hockey romance by Kate Meader.
