Wildcat Hockey #4
In Your Wildest Dreams
He鈥檚 the cocky, pro hockey player that tried to get my number during a game. Now he鈥檚 sidelined with an injury and I鈥檓 his new nurse.
The first time I met Ash Kelly, he stripped off his jersey and gave it to a little girl in the crowd, charming an arena full of fans in the process. Then he tossed me a puck and asked for my number. I was with my jerk ex-boyfriend, who was less than impressed with the whole thing.
The second time he crashes into my life it鈥檚 as my patient. There鈥檚 no way he should remember me, but he does. Being Ash鈥檚 nurse is torture. He鈥檚 stubborn and frustrating, and he won鈥檛 stop flirting with me now that he knows I鈥檓 single. He鈥檚 even recruited the entire hospital to help him win me over. And it鈥檚 working.
The more time I spend taking care of him, the more he breaks down my defenses. He鈥檚 kind and considerate, and he makes my heart race.
But I鈥檝e sworn off dating and getting involved with a charming, handsome hockey player like Ash feels like a terrible idea. We go our separate ways again, despite our undeniable connection.
I should have known it wouldn鈥檛 be the last time. For some reason, the universe keeps throwing us together.
I鈥檓 finally ready to give him a chance, but there鈥檚 one little problem. My ex-boyfriend just got a new job as the assistant GM of the Wildcats. And the only thing he wants more than me is to screw over the man I鈥檓 falling for.
In Your Wildest Dreams is a hockey romance with a cocky, cinnamon roll hero, spice, banter, and a happily ever after. It's the fourth book in the Wildcat Hockey series and can be enjoyed as a standalone.

honda civic reliable 3 stars - I still recommend
writing: ight but not great | plot: teenage WAG fantasies come to life | ending: let's slow down here馃槀 | spice: fairly cringe-free until he reached under his bed.........
my opinion
Back-to-back hockey romances??? WHO AM I???? Do I get to level up my Canadian-ness???? Although this one wasn't as strong as , I still recommend if you're looking for a good palate cleanser with Hallmark after dark vibes. If you've ever had a WAG fantasy as a teen, this one's for you. Yes, it could benefit from some editing (some scenes were really unnecessary), but who am I to judge when I read the entire thing鈥攜es all 402 pages鈥攊n an evening. Clearly, I enjoyed it.
Like The Fake Out, I didn't want to elbow Ash in the face. He wasn't a dick, he didn't play any games, and he could take/make a joke. He didn't really have a backstory, but that's fine. Most of the focus was on Bridget and her dickwad ex. I thought her characterization was a bit wishy washy, but again, wasn't a dealbreaker. There is an age gap here: he's 29, she's 22 *shrugs*.
The ending was a whirlwind and there's one spicy scene where he pulls out a spreader bar from underneath his bed that I'd like a follow up Q&A session on but more importantly... NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next book better be Jack and Everly. I'm lowkey nervous because of her age (20) but if I see this hoe on NetGalley I WILL be requesting it
pros & cons
pros: my teen WAG fantasy come to life 馃槀, decent banter (would've liked more), fmc played college tennis (yes this is a pro lol), NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP, Ash was normal, HELLAAAA bingeable, Bridget's storyline with the ex was handled nicely
cons: could've used some editing, needed more banter, a lil corny and awk dialogue but not a dealbreaker

Casually obsessed.
I absolutely adored Ash and Bridget鈥檚 love story. Their meeting was so funny and cute, and fate bringing them back together in a not so great circumstance was perfection too. These two just absolutely belonged together and I love how Ash slowly breaking down some of Bridget鈥檚 protective, for good reason, walls led her to so many people who love her. Thats one thing I love about Rebecca鈥檚 books is that the love story is always beautiful and fun, but the friendships and found family are what truly keep me excited to come back for more. The Wildcat team and all the people who come along with it are some of my favorite fictional people. Bridget鈥檚 story is a little bit hard to read at some points because she had a terrible relationship experience before meeting Ash. That said reading her healing and learning trust and to lean on other鈥檚 for help again was as beautiful as it was emotional. Sigh.
Anyway. If you鈥檙e looking for a hockey romance that鈥檚 emotional, sweet, and fun, then In Your Wildest Dreams is it. Ash is falls first and falls hard perfection and Bridget is a heroine many can relate to and many would embrace with open arms.
I read In Your Wildest Dreams e-book and audio in tandem. I think the voice actors did a fantastic job bringing this story to life with the audiobook. This is told in dual point of view, so one actor reads the heroine鈥檚 chapter and another reads the hero鈥檚 chapters. I am pretty sure the audio releases the same day as the ebook/paperback.
**Side note: the E & J crumbs in this one were perfection. No clue if we are getting a story for them, but I鈥檓 rooting for it. Like rooting hard since Wild About You 馃槀
TW/CW (will contain potential plot spoilers): allusions to past partner violence, ex partner verbal/physical abuse[grabbing] on page, discussions of mental/verbal/physical abuse from an ex romantic partner, stalking from an ex partner

I love this book so much

I absolutely adored In Your Wildest Dreams.
Rebecca Jenshak delivered an incredible, sweet hockey romance.
Ash Kelly eyes fell on a beautiful woman during his pre-match warm up, but his attempt to go out with her fails when another man sat next her. Imagine his surprise when after an injury he finds out that his nurse is that same woman, he won't miss this sacond chance to conquer her.
I have to say I'm a little obsessed with Ash, he is really a charming and kind man, but his best trait is his patience. Bridget is a strong, independent woman, but her latest failed relationship left her a little wounded and with the fear to open up to a man again. The thing I loved more of this story is how Ash tries to gain Bridget's trust in every way he could but without becoming annoying and oppressive. They are so cute together, they make each other really happy, and I cheered for them throughout the book.
I highly recommend to check this book out.

3.5 stars
This was cute! Not my favorite since the hero was smitten and after the heroine the whole book and the only thing stopping them from being together was just the heroine not wanting to commit. So it wasn't surer angsty, which I was wanting some more of in this book. I did think it was cute how the hero helped the heroine trust other people and get out of her shell and make friends. I'm not a huge fan of ex drama and that ended up coming in at the end, but I enjoyed the rest of the book!

the progression was so weird to me. and there was like 0 depth in their relationship鈥uper disappointing. and i don鈥檛 particularly like any character. at least he respected her boundaries though.

IYWD was a good romance. The first half was my favorite. The slow burn and Ash and Bridget getting to know one another was so cute and fun. He falls first and was such a sweetheart. Did all the right things to make her comfortable. Bridget has her guard up and sadly that came off as her being too distant and not as interested in Ash as he was in her. So I didn鈥檛 feel any chemistry or connection. So when they finally got together physically after halfway through it was sex that didn鈥檛 worked in their favor story wise. I just needed Bridget to have shown more interest before they got intimate. So the story didn鈥檛 work for me.
I haven鈥檛 read the other books but that wasn鈥檛 an issue. I鈥檓 interested in Jack so I might give his book a go.

4.5 stars! In Your Wildest Dreams is book 4 in the Wildcat Hockey series and I was so excited about this one after binging the first 3 earlier this year. This is a hockey romance, where he falls first, she鈥檚 his nurse, has found family vibes, and 鈥渨ho did this鈥� energy. And omg I loved it so much!
I loved Ash Kelly and how much he鈥檚 totally into Bridget from the start. This starts off at a hockey game, he鈥檚 warming up but spots her in the stands and is instantly into her, he even tosses her a puck asking for her number even though she鈥檚 clearly on a date there with someone else. 馃槀 I just adored how cocky and flirty he is, she asks if he should be skating around or something instead of trying to talk to her, he says he can鈥檛 since he just me his future wife and needs to know if she鈥檚 single!
About a month later they meet again, when he鈥檚 in the hospital after a concussion and she鈥檚 his nurse! He can鈥檛 believe his luck to see her again and isn鈥檛 going to let her slip away so easily this time when he finds out she鈥檚 now single. I just adored these two together! I loved how determined he is to win her over and just to help her out in general. He finds her an apartment when she needs one, with some of his friends. Which the friend group in here/in this series is just so good! Things also get complicated when her toxic/abusive ex becomes an assistant to the team鈥檚 GM and finds out they鈥檙e seeing one another!
CW: abusive ex (verbal, physical, mental)

2/5 馃尪锔�
I loved this! Rebecca always writes the cutest, feel good sports romances that I never fail to absolutely devour.
This is book 4 in the Wildcat Hockey series following Ash & Bridget. Ash plays professional hockey for the Wildcats & is one of the last single guys among his friends & teammates. He鈥檚 ready to settle down & find someone to spend his life with when one night he spots Bridget in the crowd at one of his games. Unfortunately she has a boyfriend at the time so nothing comes of it. A month later he sees her again after he gets injured in a game & Bridget ends up being his nurse while he鈥檚 there. But when Ash finds out she鈥檚 newly single, he makes it his mission to prove to Bridget that he鈥檚 worth taking a chance on, despite her just getting out of a bad relationship.
First, their meet cute? So freaking adorable. Probably one of my favorites that I鈥檝e read! I was swooning for Ash Kelly instantly after that moment. He was nothing short of perfection. Patient, kind, thoughtful, charming, etc. I think he and Bridget really evened each other out & were a match made in heaven.
Prior to this, I had only read book 1 in the series but now I can鈥檛 wait to go back & read books 2 & 3. I love a good series following a friend group & this one has such a strong found family vibe that鈥檚 hard not to fall for!
I was lucky enough to receive both an ARC & ALC of this book so I switched back & forth to read this. I really enjoyed the audio, the narrators are some of my favorites & thought they did a fantastic job.
Tropes:
- Sports Romance
- Hockey Player x Nurse
- 鈥淲ho did this to you?鈥�
- Boy Obsessed
- He Falls First
- Found Family

so far, this might be my favorite. one thing i always appreciate about rebecca鈥檚 books is that while the romance is beautiful and fun, it鈥檚 the friendships and found family that truly make them special. if you鈥檙e looking for a hockey romance that鈥檚 emotional, sweet, and entertaining, in your wildest dreams is exactly that. ash falls first and falls hard, and bridget is the kind of heroine that feels so real, someone you can root for and relate to.

bridget is genuinely inspiring. i love when books feature hardworking women, and she embodied that perfectly. her story wasn鈥檛 always easy to read鈥攕he had been through a terrible relationship before meeting ash, and that pain shaped so much of who she was. seeing her slowly heal, rebuild her trust, and learn to lean on others was both heartbreaking and beautiful.

ash kelly completely stole my heart. from the very start, he was all in with bridget, making sure she always knew exactly how much she meant to him. he was incredibly patient and so gentle with her, never pushing, never demanding, just showing up for her in every way that mattered. his love wasn鈥檛 just passionate鈥攊t was steady, unwavering, and absolutely breathtaking.

ash and bridget鈥檚 love story was everything. their first meeting was both hilarious and adorable, and the way fate kept pulling them back together鈥攅ven under difficult circumstances鈥攚as perfect. they just made sense together. what i loved most was how ash didn鈥檛 just break down bridget鈥檚 walls; he also led her to a group of people who truly cared about her, showing her that she didn鈥檛 have to face everything alone.

The Wildcats Hockey team are the best. Wow this book made me feel good.
Ash is the most patient, the most kind, the most thoughtful man wow I want this Ash in my life too.
Bridget is tough but also very nice. Her work is really important for her even if she had to deal with a very flirty Ash 馃槄. I loved her so much.
This story was absolutely amazing, the Wildcats is a wonderful family unit. The best one. I loved everything in this book.
What I love the most is that Bridget wasn鈥檛 easy with Ash, and the fact that he was so patient with her 馃槄. The tension and their love was perfect.
Both characters were so lovable. The vibes all around hockey was incredible and the Wildcats team with their wifes and family was crazy.
I鈥檇 definitely recommend this book.
So if you love Hockey Romance, when the MMC falls first and hard 馃グ馃ス go ahead.

I love this series with my whole heart and this audio was fantastic. I absolutely devoured it. This is book 4 in Rebecca鈥檚 Wildcat series and can be read as a standalone.
Each book I read on this series becomes a new favorite and this one is no different. I loved Ash. He is such a sweet golden retriever. I was a puddle while reading. And his and Bridget鈥檚 meet cute!! OMG that might be my favorite meet cute ever written.
Loved seeing the progression of Ash and Bridget鈥檚 relationship, it did not feel rushed at all. Ash was so patient for her to be ready for him鈥nd when they finally get together鈥HEW!! It was straight fire.
These books have the perfect balance of hockey and heart and as always I will read anything that Rebecca writes. I cannot wait to read about Jack鈥 have been waiting for that one.
Overall: 4
Spice: 2.5
Tropes:
- Hockey Romance
- Hockey Player x Nurse
- 鈥淲ho did this to you?鈥�
- Boy Obsessed
- He Falls First
- Found Family

I loved Ash and Bridget's book! I didn't want to stop reading! So good! Rebecca did another fabulous job!
Can it not get any more sweeter when he spots her out of a huge crowd at a hockey game? Swoon.
Ash is truly enamored by seeing Bridget in the crowd for the first time. Of course, Bridget is with her boyfriend at that time so she turns Ash away.
But who does Ash find in the hospital where he's recovering from an injury but none other than Bridget! Who happens to be his nurse! Yess! Let Ash's swooning begin.
I very much enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed and how patient Ash was with Bridget. Bridget was focused on completing her nursing classes and got out of a very bad relationship right after she met Ash. She was hesitant on beginning a new relationship even if she did have feelings for Ash.
Ash's friends/teammates were supportive and welcomed Bridget into their group. I loved seeing their interactions with Ash and Bridget.
When Ash and Bridget do get together, their chemistry is explosive. I love their connection!
I definitely recommend this book and can't wait until the next book in this series!

One night during a game he sees a beautiful girl in the stands. He blatantly flirts with her right in front of her boyfriend who is ignoring her. But the girl is unfazed by his flirty. After a game, Ash sees the same girl being treated roughly by her boyfriend. When he tries to rescue the girl and stop her boyfriend, she brushes Ash off and goes home with bf. Ash is disappointed but what can he do? A month later after being injured during a game who walks into his hospital room as his nurse, none other than the girl he tried to rescue, Bridgette. And he finds out that she broke up with the bf that night. To say he is pleasantly surprised is an understatement. But Bridgette isn't ready to start up something. She needs to find her footing again . . . alone. Ash respects that but fate has other ideas and they keep finding their way to each other until they finally give into their pull.
I adored this one. Ash didn't disappoint. He was so sweet, understanding and patient with Bridgette. I am not one who usually enjoys a slow burn but their story was so sweet and endearing, I loved how their relationship developed. It felt natural and sweet. I loved how hard Ash fell for Bridgette and everything that he was willing to do for their love. Swoon. He was perfect. Highly recommend this book and this world. And all those Everly easter eggs . . . I am so ready for it.
