REVIEW ➞ The Rebel by Kendall Ryan

BLURB ➞

I never thought I’d see her again.

We shared one hot night together back in college before our paths took us in different directions.

But now, the most brilliant and beautiful woman I’ve ever met is back in my life. And the chemistry I remember? It’s more combustible than ever.

Except…our fling is forbidden and must exist only in secret. Her rules, not mine.

I can’t be her forever. I’m not that guy, and even she knows it.

But I can’t stay away from her either. I’m determined to claim not just her body but her heart, even if that’s the one thing she’s vowed not to give me.


You can’t stop a storm once the clouds start gathering. You can’t stop a wave from breaking once it’s crashing toward the shore. And I can’t – I refuse to – keep us apart tonight.


ARC REVIEW ➞

Eden and Holt met in college. They had one night together and the next morning Eden thought it was a mistake. Now, six years later their paths cross and will the events of their past affect their future?

The moment Holt was introduced I completely fell in love with him. He is the grumpy hero, but also has a sweet and protective side to him. Eden took some getting used to, in the beginning she was all about another guy, the start hockey player and a player. However, as the story progressed, I started to like her, especially once the time jump occurred. From the beginning there was plenty of chemistry and a connection between Holt and Eden. Prior to their one night together Holt and Eden had a few classes and that is where Holt started forming a crush on Eden.

I loved that Holt and Eden got a second chance and that this time Holt wasn’t going to give up Eden so easily. He did once, but now things have changed and he is going to do everything he can to prove it to her.

While this is the first book in an all new hockey series neither one of the characters actually plays hockey. Eden is the owner of a hockey team after the passing of her grandfather and many are not happy with her being in this position. Holt is hired as extra security just in case anything gets out of hand. There are glimpses of some of the players on the team, one of those being Eden’s ex.

If you’re looking for a second chance sports romance with a grumpy hero this is one to check out.
