Undone By You (The Chicago Rebels, #3)

by Kate Meader

USA TODAY bestselling author Kate Meader brings her signature “steamy sex scenes, colorful characters, and riveting dialogue” (RT Book Reviews) to this novella in the Chicago Rebels series, following the general manager of the Rebels as he scores with one of his players off the ice.

Dante Moretti has just landed his dream job: GM of the Chicago Rebels. And screw the haters who think there should be an asterisk next to his name because he’s the first out and proud managing executive in pro hockey. He’s earned the right to be here and nothing will topple him off that perch—especially not an incredibly inconvenient attraction to his star defenseman, Cade “Alamo” Burnett. Cade has always been careful to keep his own desires on the down low, but his hot Italian boss proves to be a temptation he can’t resist. Sure, they both have so much to lose, but no one will ever know...

As Dante and Cade’s taboo affair heats up off the ice and their relationship gets more and more intense, they’ll have to decide: is love worth risking their careers? Or is this romance destined to be forever benched?

Dante Moretti is openly gay, and while the Chicago Rebels accept him, he keeps his private life, well,  private. While spending his Saturday evening at an invite-only private club where discretion is a requirement Dante spots the Chicago Rebels star defenseman Cade Burnett. Cade isn't openly gay, in fact, he is often seen with several ladies on his arm. The tale that unfolded was sweet, sizzling hot and touching as Cade dealt with many firsts.

I don't normally pick up M/M romances, but a few series I have read recently have diverse characters which gave way to sharing their story.  Meader gave the readers all the feels, emotions and heat while addressing homosexuality in the sporting world.

Cade was a sweetie, and it was interesting to get both his and Dante's backstories. We had a couple of emotional moments with characters from the series, and I loved how they rallied behind their teammate. Even though Dante is openly gay and seems confident, Meader shared his struggles and fears allowing him to grow in the relationship and I found it refreshing.

Undone By You was another page-turner in the Chicago Rebels series and I look forward to the next book. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer

Another book down in this series and another winner for me. Kate Meader is really packing the goods with each of these books. Cade and Dante were fabulous and I liked the slight differences to this gay romance. I liked how grown up both Cade and Dante were and I liked how real Cade’s story was and how protective Dante was over Cade. Good stuff.

Full review to come.

Undone By You shows a different side of the Chicago Rebels, and none of the sisters is the main character here. That role was Cade and Dante's. And wow, did they play it well!
