Wild Darling

The Darling Devils #3

by Alexandra Moody

Alexandra Moody's BookTok sensation DARLING DEVILS series is back with the most devilish Darling brother of all — in a wholesome, banter-filled ice-hockey romance perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, slow-burn chemistry, and happily ever afters!

She's ready to take a shot at her goals. He doesn't realize that his heart is wide open . . .

Parker Darling is ready to take center ice now that his older brothers have left to play hockey in college. He shows up to the first practice ready to be team captain of the Ransom Devils, only to find a new coach at the rink—one who already hates Parker for a dumb mistake he made years ago. A mistake he made with the help of Coach Foster's daughter, Mackenzie.

Kenzie Foster loves hockey, too, and she's a ruthless goalie. If only her dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—not that she'd want to be on any team with that arrogant jerk Parker Darling. She can't believe she's stuck on the bench at a new school, watching the Devils struggle to win without the force of all three Darling brothers.

Parker hates losing, and when the Devils' star goalie is cut, he knows he has to step up and lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net and an unused uniform just waiting to prove her dad wrong. They'll need to work together to reach their goals—without getting too close to making another big mistake.

ARC review✨✨

My favourite in the series!!😭

black cat fmc x golden retriever mmc is definitely one of my fave tropes, throw in the enemies to lovers vibes and their constant bickering & banter, I LOVED it🥹

I enjoyed the story of this one, we love some women in sports rep & although I hated Mackenzie’s dad to begin with, he redeemed himself in the end⛸️

Loved the Darling Devils cameos❤️‍🔥

Overall really enjoyed this! Such an easy read with not too much depth to the plot but perfect for a YA read!

[marrireads]

This has the potential to be the best one in the series....

This is probably my favourite book in this series. I really loved the enemies-to-lovers style trope and I do love the character development between the MCs and SCs throughout the book. I couldn’t fault this book!
