Synopsis:
Three estranged sisters struggle to sustain their late father’s failing hockey franchise in Kate Meader’s sizzling Chicago Rebels series. In this second entry, middle sister Isobel is at a crossroads in her personal and professional lives. But both are about to get a significant boost with the addition of a domineering Russian powerhouse to the Rebels….
Isobel Chase knows hockey. She played NCAA, won Olympic silver, and made it thirty-seven minutes into the new National Women’s Hockey League before an injury sidelined her dreams. Those who can’t, coach, and a position as a skating consultant to her late father’s hockey franchise, the Chicago Rebels, seems like a perfect fit. Until she’s assigned her first job: the man who skated into her heart as a teen and relieved her of her pesky virginity. These days, left-winger Vadim Petrov is known as the Czar of Pleasure, a magnet for puck bunnies and the tabloids alike. But back then… let’s just say his inability to sink the puck left Isobel frustratingly scoreless.
Vadim has a first name that means “ruler,” and it doesn’t stop at his birth certificate. He dominates on the ice, the practice rink, and in the backseat of a limo. But a knee injury has produced a bad year, and bad years in the NHL don’t go unrewarded. His penance? To be traded to a troubled team where his personal coach is Isobel Chase, the woman who drove him wild years ago when they were hormonal teens. But apparently the feeling was not entirely mutual.
That Vadim might have failed to give Isobel the pleasure that was her right is intolerable, and he plans to make it up to her—one bone-melting orgasm at a time. After all, no player can perfect his game without a helluva lot of practice…

So Over You by Kate Meader is the second book in the Chicago Rebels series. This series is based around three estranged sisters, one hockey team, and one mission. To keep the hockey team, they must first save it.
This is Isobel Chase’s story.
Isobel Chase is the most athletic of the three sisters. She once lived the hockey dream and even made it to the Olympics to win silver but after a horrible accident on the ice, Isobel was forced to hang her skates up or suffer the consequences of death, that one blow could bring her.
As the saying goes, those who can’t do, coach.
Now Isobel is looking to gain a coaching position. But things aren’t about to come easy, before she gets the job, she must first rehab and coach a broody Vadim Petrov. One small problem, Vadim and Isobel have a past.
Isobel and Vadim’s story is filled with sexual tension and a few hilarious moments. I really enjoyed their connection in the beginning of the novel. One thing I wish was added a bit more would be more of the back story surrounding around Vadim and Isobel’s past.
I loved Vadim’s moodiness and his tenacity and stubbornness. The same goes for Isobel. these two characters are very similar. They both have the same drive when it comes to their dreams and the willingness to do whatever they can to accomplish their goals. When two people have the same drive and the same eagerness, Wires are bound to get crossed and connections are going to either get strong or completely dissipate. This was an interesting read.
Now onto the hockey portion of the novel. The first novel had a lot of game time in the pages. This novel however, there is more one on one ice time and not so much actual game play. THat is understandable due to the fact that Vadim is in the process of rehabilitating his knee. I was a little bummed. I loved the adrenaline from the previous book, I loved getting wrapped up in the hockey aspect. That is the only reason why I had to drop a star. I wanted more hockey.
Overall, I really enjoyed So Over You by Kate Meader.
