A review by jaimejustreadsromance
Superstar by Kate Meader
4.0
Did this book come across a little instalove-y? Yes. Did I want to throw my kindle straight at most of the men in this book? Absolutely. Would I read this book again? For sure.
Look, I’m not always a big fan of instant love stories but when it’s done right, I’m all in and Kate Meader did this right. Bast and Pepper started off with an instant attraction that quickly turned into an instant sort of animosity and a need to avoid one another but a complete inability to do so, especially from Bast’s end.
I really loved Bast and Pepper together but seriously, the men in this book made me so angry on Peppers behalf. Pepper has a history with another hockey player from a different team and the press were very hard in her about her perceived treatment of said player and blamed her for his subsequent fall from grace. Her own father, coach of the Rebels and her brother, also a hockey player, treat her like a pariah without knowing the whole story. Then when her dad forces her to play the Rebels mascot, she runs into (literally) Bast and he is re-injured and they all pile up on her for being so clumsy and for being bad luck for hockey players, despite Bast and her ex’s roles in what went down each time. I wanted her to speak her truth SO bad and while I appreciate that she had a lot of the Rebels wives on her side, I wish they’d done more to speak up for her sooner.
Moving on…
I really did enjoy this story and I love how Bast took up for Pepper in the end and how the Rebels organization, players and WAGS surrounded her with love and support as well. Overall this was a great addition to the Rookie Rebels series and I absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves a good enemies to lovers romance full of nosey, but supportive friends.
