Wildcat is a full-length sports romance with a hot-as-puck hero, the coach’s daughter, and an unfortunate case of mistaken identity. The Wildcats are the youngest team in the NHL. On the ice, they’re cocky, determined, and ready to take the league by storm. Off the ice? They’re always up for a wild time.
Wildcat is the first book in the Wildcats hockey series by Rebecca Jenshak, and it is set in Minnesota. Wildcat tells the story of how Leo Lohan and Scarlett Miller met, fell for each other, and ultimately found their happily ever after. Of course their journey towards their HEA was not without issue. This took work, trust, honesty, and communication.
Okay quick recap: Leo is a professional hockey player who is also attending college on a part time basis. One night he is attending a trivia night at a local bar, and it is there that he meets Scarlett. Scarlett has recently returned from London, and is trying to find her footing. Of course she also needs to tell her parents that she's dropped out of college, and is pursuing photography full time. But before she can do that, she's helping out at the bar her friend works at. The only problem is that she's a mess. Making drinks was a failure. Serving tables was an absolute wreck. She's pretty certain the owner will not be asking her back. Then though she meets Leo, and she's captivated. This man intrigues her, and even though she's still mending her broken heart, she can't help but be drawn to him. Next thing we know, Leo and Scarlett are having an amazing night together. Leo promises to call, but fails to do so as his schedule is jam packed. It isn't until he arrives at the team party his coach is hosting that he sees Scarlett again. It is also at this party that he realizes she's coach's daughter. It is here that Scarlett finds out Leo isn't just a college student, but also a professional hockey player. She's sworn off athletes after everything that happened with Rhyse, so this cannot happen again.
I LOVE books that are set in my state! LOVE THEM! Add in the fact that this is a hockey romance, and that just made it even better. I'm a sucker for hockey romance. Everything about this story had me smiling. From the meet-cute, to the steamy night spent together, to the moments until they saw each other again, and to the realization of who they both are. LOVED IT. Together Leo and Scarlett flourished. Their love, and attraction, just radiated off the pages. I am just completely taken by these characters, and their story! When Rhyse showed up? OOOH, that was a lot, and had me immediately disliking the man. It wasn't until that whole scenario was wrapped up that I was even able to think positively of him. During all that my heart went out to Scarlett. She had to once again deal with the repercussions of Rhyse. Fixing her relationship with Leo wasn't going to be easy, but she knows he is worth it. Leo knows Scarlett is his forever, and this time apart has been rough. Leo met his dream girl all those months ago, and after quite the journey, he now has her by his side.
Obviously I loved the setting of this book. You can't go wrong with a book set where you live! I was drawn to the characters when we met a few of them in Wild Love, and Wildcat just had me falling even harder. As for the storyline, well I thoroughly enjoyed it. I did rate this as a 4 star read on Goodreads, as it was just missing that little something extra to push it to 5 stars.
If you enjoy hockey romances between a player and the coach's daughter, then you need to read this one. I think you'll enjoy it quite a bit.
Thank you for reading my thoughts on Wildcat. I am looking forward to reading Wild About You when it releases in May.

I met my dream girl.
That’s right. She’s stunning and the worst bartender I’ve ever seen.
I should have gone home and gone to sleep—dream girl or not. I had an early morning and the season was starting soon. But when she threatened me with boy band karaoke I couldn't help myself. I went. The stars aligned.
I have never felt more alive or wanted anyone more than I want her.
When it’s time for me to head on my annual pre-season boys trip, I barely let her go.
It’s been a week and I can’t stop thinking about her.
Except there she is. Right here at the Wildcat’s kickoff party.
And as luck would have it, my dream girl is the coach’s youngest daughter.
But everyone knows the coach’s daughter is off limits. Right?
