ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 5, 2018
Dante Moretti has just landed his dream job: GM of the Chicago Rebels. And screw the haters who think there should be an asterisk next to his name because he’s the first out managing executive in pro hockey. He’s earned the right to be here and nothing will topple him off that perch—especially not an incredibly inconvenient attraction to his star defenseman, Cade “Alamo” Burnett. Cade has always been careful to keep his own desires on the down low, but his hot Italian boss proves to be a temptation he can’t resist. Sure, they both have so much to lose, but no one will ever know…
As Dante and Cade’s taboo affair heats up off the ice and their relationship gets more and more intense, they’ll have to decide: is love worth risking their careers? Or is this romance destined to be forever benched?
•••••••••
REVIEW: UNDONE BY YOU is instalment 2.5 in Kate Meader’s contemporary, adult CHICAGO REBELS erotic, romance series focusing on three estranged sisters-Harper Chase, Isobel Chase and Violet Vasquez- who recently inherited the struggling NHL hockey franchise the Chicago Rebels. This is Rebels’ new GM thirty-five year old Dante Moretti, and twenty-thre year old defenseman Cade ‘Alama’ Burnett. UNDONE BY YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of UNDONE BY YOU run parallel to, and cross over with the events of book two IRRESISTIBLE YOU.
NOTE: UNDONE BY YOU is a M/M story line with sexually graphic M/M situations, language and text that may not be suitable for some readers.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Dante and Cade) UNDONE BY YOU follows the forbidden relationship between Chicago Rebels GM Dante Moretti, and team defenseman Cade Burnett. Cade Burnett is a closeted, gay professional hockey player who for personal reasons back home is unable to come clean to the people he loves, but meeting his hockey idol, former player and now Rebels GM Dante Moretti, the first openly gay GM in professional hockey, has Cade throwing caution to the wind when he approaches his ‘boss’ at an upscale gay club. What ensues is the building romance but secret relationship between Dante and Cade, and the potential fall-out when Cade comes out of the closet, only to be pushed aside by the man that he loves.
Dante Moretti knows what it is like to lose everything. Coming out cost him his family, his friends, and some of the people he loved. Cade Burnett knows that to come out while still actively playing with the Chicago Rebels may harm his career, but most especially may destroy his relationship with his father, back home. What he never expected was that his coming out would destroy his relationship with the man that he loved.
The relationship between Dante and Cade is one of mutual attraction but Dante doesn’t want Cade to come out unless he is ready to accept everything that goes along with coming out as a professional hockey player. Their secret relationship is threatened by Dante’s inability to accept Cade’s decision-a decision that should have made their relationship easier to accept. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
UNDONE BY YOU is a quick read; an emotional, sexy and fun story line; a forbidden romance between boss and employee; a sexual awakening for one man whose entire life remained hidden from the people he loved. The premise is entertaining and fast paced; the characters are colorful, dynamic and charismatic; the romance is seductive and provocative.
