Resumen del Editor

An all-new, sizzling stand-alone romance from New York Times best-selling Author Kendall Ryan....

Holt

Six years ago, Eden barged into my life and turned everything upside down.

We spent one scorching-hot night together, and then she disappeared into the sunset with the golden jock everyone adored. Which makes sense, right? A girl as beautiful and brilliant as Eden Wynn doesn’t end up with a rebel like me.

I expected them to live happily ever after, but that's not what happened. She's back in my life - and tempting me like no one else has. And while I'm certain I'll only tarnish her shine, I want her.

I'd heard the old notion that one night held the power to change everything. I just never believed it.

Until now.

Eden

I’m public enemy number one.

Turns out, the East Coast is protective of their hockey team and very vocal about not wanting a young female owner. Well, too bad, because this team is all Grandpa Wynn left me, and I have no intention of walking away.

Enter my new head of security, Holt Rossi. My history with him is...complicated. Chemistry reignites between us while the world waits for me to stumble.

He’s supposed to protect me - but who will protect my heart from him?

Warning: This romance contains one growly, broken hero; a bunch of rowdy hockey players; and a smart, hardworking heroine whose life hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows. This is a no-cheating, scorching-hot love story with a guaranteed HEA.

Second Time Around it s Charm!!

They met once before but neither was ready for a real commitment…they both needed time to find out who and what they were or could be…and that is what they did. But the stars work in strange ways…and when it is meant to be..it is meant to be. So, 6 years later when Holt is now running his own security firm and Eden has just taken over her grandfather’s hockey team they find themselves face to face one more time. I will say that Holt was the real foundation for me as he understood what Eden was about and what she needed. Unfortunately, it took him some time to realize that he was not just what she needed buy completely worthy. Loved how their mothers finally come together at that crazy Thanksgiving meal..and that we can read more about them throughout the rest of the Looking to Score series. I read it and I listened to the audible and it was such a sweet second time around is a charm story... Well done-5 stars!

Great story

The Rebel is an easy listening happy ever after. He’s her hero, she’s is dream girl. After meeting in college they go their separate ways until meeting again years later and realize the spark between them is still there. Jason Clarke does an amazing hero, Vanessa Edwin is great as the heroine.

Stellar Narration

Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin are among the best narrators. Love their warm sexy voices.

A must listen!

Soooo gooood!! The crush! ❤ The pining! ❤ The rich girl and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks! ❤❤ Second chance hottness!

HBIC meets Tough guy

It's wonderful to see how Eden and Holt reconnect. I love how the hold back just a little but are also vulnerable and open. Holt doesn't give up. I was rooting for them all the way!💕

Loved the narrators and narrations!

Jason Clarke could voice my fantasies every and any day of the week. His voice is exactly the the kind of voice you need whispering, grunting, or growling in your ear. I always enjoy his work.

Vanessa Edwin is new to me and I am happy to say I found it easy to enjoy her performance. She's a natural and it flowed.

The Rebel, well, it was good. I liked the story but I didn't love it. I appreciated that Holt and Eden are "people" and have insecurities and hang ups. I just didn't feel like Eden was engaging. I didn't really connect with her. I needed Holt to get his HEA though so here she is.

It's a bummer because I really wanted to love this book. Guess I'm the Rebel here...

second chance

Eden goes through college with a crush on Alex, a rising hockey star. But before they get together she has a random night with Holt. They have this instant chemistry that your upset to find out didn’t go anywhere.

Flash forward several years where Eden now is the owner of her family’s hockey team (that Alex so happened to get transferred to as well), and Holt comes barreling back in her life as a bodyguard for her and the team.

There is no denying Holts feelings. The way his POV is written will make your heart melt. He just adores Eden and always feels like she’s the one that got away. I love seeing how these two reconnect and how their relationship develops.

This series is interconnected and leaves on a mild cliffhanger for Alex and makes you instantly want to dive into the next book.

I listened to the audio and was very please with both narrators.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Great narrating

I thought the story could have been more interesting, but otherwise, the book was good.

Great start to a new series!

The Rebel was a fantastic start to Kendall Ryan's Looking to Score Series. I loved everything about this hockey, lady boss, bodyguard romance. Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin narrate this audio book.

This second chance romance is full of steam and passion. I love how Kendall Ryan creates characters with ambition, but also lets us see their insecurities and doubts. With plot has a slight role reversal, with the lady boss, rich heroine and the under paid bodyguard. Kendall smashes these stereotypes, and proves no matter how much money you make, or your family history, that sometimes given a second chance, love conquerors all.

Jason Clarke and Vanessa Edwin portrayed Holt and Eden perfectly. Vanessa Edwin has such a decadent voice that instantly makes you fall in love with Eden, but feel her uncertainties at the same time. Jason Clarke's performance of Holt is pure alpha male hotness. Jason's signature growly voice makes you feel protected with Holt, the bodyguard.

Overall I really enjoyed The Rebel. I am looking forward to The Rival, and getting Alex's story. Kendall Ryan does an amazing job getting us ready for the next book in the series.

The Rebel

The Rebel is book one in the Looking to Score Series. This book is told from dual points of view from Eden and Holt. There is a short story before this one, but you really don't need to read it as this book starts from the exact same spot, and the first few chapters are the same. Which is nice if you haven't read it yet or a nice little refresher.

Eden and Holt spent one night together in College, but she was pining for someone else. She ended up dating this other guy for 5 years, before their relationship fell apart. Now she is the owner of her grandfather's hockey team after he passed away and her ex-boyfriend just so happens to have been recruited to her team before she got a hold of it.

Holt is hired on as her professional bodyguard as a lot of fans are not happy about having a woman be in charge of this team. They think she's going to sleep with the players and the team won't do well with her in charge.

We get to look at Holt and Eden's relationship grow as well as her growth with the team. I really enjoyed getting to know Holt and Eden and can't wait to read the next book in the series.
