From Instacrush to InstaDaddy ...
Theo Kershaw is the luckiest guy alive.
Roaring back from a life-threatening injury, he has the world at his skates as defenseman for his new team, the Chicago Rebels. Everyone adores his big personality, his on-ice talent, and his killer smile. Everyone but his prickly neighbor - or so he thinks. One chilly Christmas Eve, Theo will learn that maybe the girl next door isn't such a hater after all ...
Elle Butler is the most embarrassing person on the planet.
How else can the ex-military-now-bartender explain her crush on the hot jock who lives across the hall? True, he has gorgeous green eyes and perfect cheekbones, but the filter between his brain and too-sexy mouth is permanently malfunctioning. Yet she can't stop checking out his Instagram antics or sneaking looks at him when he's in her bar. So. Mortifying. Running from a past filled with damning secrets, Elle's determined that this guilty pleasure remains buried in her deepest fantasies.
Because she couldn't possibly indulge with the Theo Kershaw or make a mistake that draws attention to her under-the-radar life. And she especially couldn't be a mom to a pro-athlete's baby ... could she?

Instacrush is the second book in the Rookie Rebels series. This is Theo and Elle's story. Theo is an adorable, sweet and charming pro hockey player, with a big Instagram following and the nickname of Super Glutes. Elle is temporary living across the hall from him. She recently got out of the military and is at loose ends, so she is staying with a former army buddy turned hockey player on Theo's team. When Theo meets Elle, he is very interested in her, but she resists his advances. But she lets her guard down on Christmas and they have a hot one-day-stand... which results in a surprise pregnancy. Theo and Elle get to know each other and fall for each other, while working through some family issues that they both have. They make their own little family and get their HEA too.
I enjoyed this book. I expected it to be a little lighter, but instead, it was a rather heavy and emotional read. Elle was a prickly and sometimes grumpy character. I did like her by the end, but it took me a while to warm up to her. She had some family issues and a hard time trusting people. Theo was a sweet, sexy, puppy dog of a guy. Their relationship was kind of slow burn. Both of them had some baggage to get over before they were free to be together. And both of them made some mistakes, but they were able to learn how to love and let themselves be loved by the end. They made a good couple and they deserved the happiness they found together. I did feel like the conflict wrapped up a little too close to the end, but I still enjoyed the book. I love a surprise pregnancy book and this was a pretty good one.
Overall, I enjoyed Instacrush. Theo, especially, was an adorable and funny character. I was happy to see he and Elle happy together. I found this book to be sweet, sexy, emotional and entertaining. I look forward to more from this series and Ms. Meader in the future!
