Hockey Wife by Kate Meader
Hockey Wife by Kate Meader, book nine in the Rookie Rebels series, is an emotional, heartwarming, grumpy sunshine, opposites, age gap,
spontaneous Vegas wedding, fake-relationship-turns-real story that is a
wonderful and enjoyable read. Hockey player Dylan “Banks” Bankowski, in
Vegas for the All-Star weekend, had just been traded from Nashville to the
Chicago Rebels and was feeling sorry for himself. That’s when he met Georgia
“Peaches” Goodwin, a wealthy heiress who lost her twin sister two years ago. sShe was also feeling sorry for herself,
missing her sister, and trying to fill the empty space by pretending to be a
party girl. On a whim, the two of them decided to marry in Vegas, only Georgia
gets cold feet the next morning, and Dylan is annoyed when he wakes up alone.
Months later discovering their annulment paperwork was misfiled, Georgia discovers
that Dylan lives and plays hockey in Chicago. She meets him at the team bar, asking
if they can stay married for bit longer for reasons she won’t disclose. Dylan
is ready to say no, but when his sisters call to tell him how happy his
grandmother is that he’s finally found someone, he agrees.
When
she moves in with him for appearance sake, the one bed and close proximity is
just too much for them to keep their feelings and chemistry from coming into
play. The more time these two spend together the more real their marriage
starts to feel. Banks and Georgia’s connection is apparent from the start; by
the time Dylan gets around to calling her “my wife,” their chemistry is off the
charts.
I loved how real their relationship felt as they
moved from "this is just pretend" to something so much deeper. The
way they complemented each other made their romance so satisfying. While this
book is a stand alone, it’s a blast for longtime fans to revisit the other
Rebels players. The team’s found family and their meddling is exactly what
Dylan needed to figure out all those confusing feelings. I look forward to the next book in this
series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this
book.
