Reviews
Jock Wanted is the sixth book in Rookie Rebels Series by Kate Meader. I loved this story so hard. It hit me hard with all the feels. Which surprised me because going in I wasn’t too fond of Tara and her gold digger ways. She is quite vocal about marrying a young, hung, hockey jock, to take care of her. But she was completely the opposite of what she portrays herself to be and was such a remarkably genuine, and totally relatable character. I couldn’t get enough of these two. When the Chicago Rebels new general manager needs someone to help him clean up one of his player’s misbehaving reputation, he asks Tara Becker to start a fake dating relationship with the jock. Tara Becker has always wanted to get married to a hunky, hockey player, so at the request to have a fake relationship with a hot, hockey player, she is more than willing to help him look good. But she sure didn’t count on him! Hale Fitzpatrick thinks he has picked the perfect person for his public relations solution, but he so underestimated her. He just can’t get this curvy, beautiful, vivacious blonde out of his head and with every conversation, their sizzling chemistry and sexual tension is getting harder and harder to walk away from. He sees a side to Tara no one else has seen or knows anything about. This is fun, charming, entertaining and full of sizzling chemistry and sexual tension that jumps off the page. I couldn’t put this down and read this addictive story in one setting. You don’t want to miss this one! Loved it! Received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Tara Becker had been introduced as Cal Foreman’s girlfriend in a prior book. Cal was destined for happily ever after with Tara’s bestie Mia, not Tara. But Tara will not be deterred from her goal of marrying a pro hockey player. So when she is set up as a fake girlfriend to bad boy Dex, you think this will be just another fake turns real romance. But a huge obstacle is in her way, Hale Fitzgerald, the new Rebel’s General Manager. In the prior books, Tara comes across as a superficial gold digger, but Kate Meader does a great job of revealing that Tara has a lot more layers, and is someone deserving of a happily ever after. While Hale initially buys into Tara’s flaky facade, he starts to see that there is a lot more to Tara. I love when an author redeems a former antagonist, and Kate Meader does a fabulous job with Tara. I loved this book, and loved this whole series. I received an arc of this book from the author for my honest review.
