What a fabulous addition to the Rookie Rebel series. This is Bastian (Bast) Durand and Pepper Calhoun’ story and what an entertaining read it was. From the first paragraph to the last I was fully invested in the story that Ms. Meader wove.

Bast is finally ready to return to the ice after a broken wrist kept him off the ice. Imagine Pepper’s horror when dressed in the team mascot costume she trips him and he is injured..

My heart broke for Pepper, thanks to circumstances, her self-confidence and self-worth is practically non-existent and now that she has caused Bast to get injured again it is even lower. Knowing everyone hates her she is desperate to escape

However, she doesn’t count on the man who should ready hate her, being on her side, wanting to support and protect her. I fell hard for Bast, such a caring, swoon worthy man.

Can these two look into their hearts, face their own issues and take a chance on happiness together? Or are they destined to be alone?
