Book Review: Wild Ride by Kate Meader

 For this review, I chose Wild Ride by Kate Meader.

I received an ARC copy of the e-book for an honest review of this book.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a brief description from Goodreads:
Chicago Rebels hockey player Dex O'Malley has been a naughty boy ... again.

Only his latest stunt isn’t quite like when he was caught with his pants down at a nightclub or was cited for drag-racing on Lake Shore Drive or even that time he said a few critical things about his teammates on a hockey podcast. Oops. This time, Dex is in real trouble, the kind that could get him kicked off the team and out of the league. And that cannot happen. Hockey is the only thing he’s ever been good at. The only thing he cares about. He’ll do whatever it takes to rehab his rep, even if it means cleaning up dog poop and suffering the steely-eyed disapproval of his new no-nonsense “boss” at the animal shelter, Ashley Adams.

Ashley has enough on her plate between her low-paying job, her high-maintenance family, and a love life she’s trying to resurrect after her divorce. She’s already mom to an amazing nine-year-old; the last thing she needs is mothering a celebrity volunteer with more money than sense. But the troublemaking f-boy needs Ashley to sign off on his good deeds so he can get back to what he does best: lighting up lamps both on and off the ice. And while a guy like that could never interest her mind, it seems her body is not on the same page. Sure, Dex O’Malley is too young, too hot, too flighty for Ashley to take seriously, but maybe a brief ride on the wild side might fit the bill …

Only that’s not enough for Dex. What happens when this notorious player decides the older, single mom is the hottest woman he’s ever met and that he wants to light her lamp … forever?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This is book #8 in the Rookie Rebels series.  I have not read any book beside this one in this series. 

 Dex had a wild ride with everything he went through. I believe things happen for a reason. Dex met Ashley and things started to change for him in a good way. Ashley needed to learn to trust Dex.

I truly loved that Ashley was like a real mom.  The fears, the issues with her weight, taking care of her daughter.  All of that I could see! 

I can’t wait to read the other book in this series.
