Hockey and the holidays go hand in hand ...
Theo and Elle Kershaw are about to celebrate the season with their boisterous brood, but a surprise is waiting in their Christmas stockings.
This surprise pregnancy, older couple, love at the holidays hockey romance is the perfect check-in with a fan-favorite couple and a fun dive into the next generation of Chicago Rebel heroes and heroines. Includes a sneak peek at Sweet Thing, the first in a new hockey romance series from Kate Meader.
In Holly Jolly Rebel, Kate has time-skipped at least ten years into the future (I’ve missed four Rookie Rebel books, and people have aged), allowing us to be introduced to a new generation of Rebels–aka, the Rebels' offspring as new and young adults, along with a new generation of Rebel players. Holly Jolly Rebel finds Theo wondering if, after over 20 years of being in the league, it’s time he hangs up his skates. Elle finds herself finally having some breathing room and time for herself, as their youngest kids are getting ready to head to college. But between Theo’s big decision, the large Rebel organization who’ve become a second family, the boisterous Rebel Christmas party, her own family, and their Christmas, Elle feels herself being tired and feeling burned out. This Christmas is going to prove to both of them what family is truly all about.
I loved being able to check in with the Kershaw family and see how everyone has been. Holly Jolly Rebel reminded me of why Theo is one of my favorite heroes and why he and Elle are one of my favorite couples. This story also kicks off a new era of Rebels. As I said, the Rebels’ children are now young adults and are preparing to shine. Kate’s new series, Chicago Players, puts Theo and Elle’s oldest daughter, Adeline, into the spotlight with Sweet Thing. I’m looking forward to this new era.

Originally from Ireland, Kate Meader cut her romance reader teeth on Maeve Binchy and Jilly Cooper novels, with some Harlequins thrown in for variety. Give her tales about brooding mill owners, oversexed equestrians, and men who can rock an apron, a fire hose, or a hockey stick, and she's there. Now based in Chicago, she writes sexy contemporary romance with alpha heroes and strong heroines (and heroes) who can match their men quip for quip.
