IRRESISTIBLE YOU is one of the many steamy romances written by Kate Meader and this one does not disappoint! The two main characters are Harper and Remy. They have an amazingly steamy chemistry together given that at first they hated each other but even then their chemistry was strong. Together they share some hot sizzling scenes even though they are complete opposites. Harper is really uptight and set on making the business she and her two sisters inherited from their father. Remy is very laid back and easy going and this really gets under Harper's skin.
The Chicago Rebels is a hockey team the sisters inherited which has seen better days and is on the brink of going under. They managed to place second to last in the previous season. Now Harper is determined to change that and make her father proud, prove him wrong. When he was alive she tried her hardest to prove to him that she could handle this job but all she got from him was negativity from him consistently putting her down.
The first plan of business was acquiring Remy from another team in hopes of trying to add leadership to her failing team. This is not as easy as it seems given that Remy is not at all happy about this trade and does not want to be on a team that has no chance at the Stanley Cup. After all, he is a winner and not used to being on the losing end. He is planning on retiring after this season and needs another win under his belt. Going out with a bang, not a bust. Knowing that he has no chance of that winning season with this new team he makes a deal with Harper. He will help her with the team but she as to promise to trade him to a better team in a couple of months. Harper agrees because she knows with him on board the team has a chance. This deal does come with many disadvantages not only for Remy but Harper as well.
Harper and her sisters have a strict rule that none of them get involved with any of the players on the team fearing that if they did no one would take them seriously. That rule seems reasonable and something that would not be any problem. Well, that is until the steamy hot chemistry between her and Remy starts to show making it hard to keep the promise she made to herself and her sisters. Remy is that super good-looking bad boy hockey player that turns every girl's head when he walks into the room and he knows it. Deep down though he is really a gentleman with great family values. He knows his work is cut out for him as he tries to pursue Harper.
Meader not only lets you get to know the main characters but all of the secondary characters as well. The setting is amazing and adds to the story so well. The ending makes you excited to read the next book in this series. I feel that IRRESISTIBLE YOU is unique because you really do not read a lot of sports-based stories where a woman is the main person who in control of an entire team. This proves that women are just as intelligent as men in the world of sports. Harper shows throughout this book that she is a force to reckon with. I like how the differences between Harper and Remy create banter and drama making it seem more realistic. The author writes so that the story seems to grow with more intense physical attraction making it a build up before they finally fall for each other.
