Growing up, my dreams were simple: earn enough money to cover rent and take care of my grandparents. I stayed home after graduation while my only friend moved to LA. I watched with envy as she posted pictures from ritzy nightclubs with celebrities and professional athletes while I worked two waitressing jobs to get by.
After taking the plunge and moving to LA, my world collides with hockey star Jackson O’Reilly. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met—a hurricane of chaotic energy, a whirlwind of unpredictable passion. He consumes me. He becomes my best friend, my soulmate, and his dark side breaks me.
Until Ethan Blackwood steps in. Powerful, possessive, and determined to fix not only me, but Jackson, too. He loves us both, and he has the strength to battle Jackson’s inner demons and corrupt father.
We build a family, including the man who’s been there all along, undercover agent Reece Abercrombie. My shadow, my protective bodyguard, he’ll do anything for me, even take a bullet for Jackson.
As we become closer, our found family grows, and so does the danger. And when one of us doesn’t come home… it all threatens to fall apart.
Loyalties are tested. Sacrifices are made. Minds and bodies break. Hearts are united.
Triple Power Play 4 is the fourth book in a fast-paced, dark, why choose hockey romance series featuring three complicated men who will do anything to protect the ones they love.
Please check TWs. The characters are imperfect. The story contains themes related to mental illness and addiction.

Jessica Lyn is a dark romance author who loves hockey, the mountains, and snow. She lives on the Oregon Coast with her family and a never-ending list of pets. Her stories, initially chart-topping Kindle Vella serials, are influenced by a decade-long career in psych triage. Outside of writing, she's into reading, traveling, crime docs, and a strong cup of tea.
This was the perfect conclusion to this series. Ethan is truly the glue that holds the family together, and I loved the way he navigated all the problems throughout the series. I absolutely love Jackson, he’s needy, t0rtured, and obsessive but he loves something fierce. Seeing Reece work through his insecurities and blend into the family in this book was great. Aurora fights something fierce for her family and is full of so much love. I love the side characters and can’t wait to read their spin-off series!

Jessica Lyn has created a whole world of characters that worm their way under your skin and burrow so deep removing them would be life threatening.
Not only are the MC’s written incredibly well, but I was awestruck by the side characters as well! The way Jessica Lyn allows each character to shine on their own is astounding. The balance of perspectives throughout the book is incredible. I don’t feel like anyone got pushed to the side or left out in any capacity, I was able to fall in love with each person.
Let’s start at the beginning, Jessica Lyn doesn’t skip a beat. Right off the bat, we get a little recap of the very end of TPP3. It’s the perfect amount to get everyone on the same page.
These books are written so thoroughly. The way Jessica Lyn describes people, places, feelings… it’s breathtaking. I became so engrossed in the story.
I was also very ecstatic to read a lot more of Jax and Ethan. I am a Jax girlie through and through and the plot points surrounding them made my heart melt. Their relationship is tangible in the writing.
I had an absolute blast reading this book. I can’t wait to see if there’s more to this story
Also, a great art piece would be the whole family at the wedding. Specifically Ethan 😉
Absolutely yes! If you’re even considering reading this series, that’s your answer.
I’ve been obsessed with this series since book one, and while I’m so sad to see it come to an end, I’m equally excited for what the future may hold especially for some of the side characters. Jessica Lyn does an incredible job of capturing each character’s unique personality. Whether it’s the depth of love they share or the struggles they’re facing, you feel it all right down to your bones.
Book four was absolutely fantastic. We got to learn more about some side characters while also watching Reece, Ethan, Jackson, and Aurora continue to grow within their relationship and it was truly perfect. I could read about them forever and never get tired of their story.
I’m so excited to see what Jessica Lyn has coming next, and I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed for two separate series, each centered around two very specific relationships. I won’t be giving any hints though you’ll have to pick up this series and experience all the love, connections, and possibilities for yourself. 💖📚
I will write a review that spans a little over the whole series
We can start with Jackson, he can be physically aggressive against Aurora, hit the wall beside her face ,he screams in her face, and threatens to kill himself if she doesn’t want to be with him.
And then there is Ethan, hate him… He always defends Jackson’s behavior to Aurora, and never defends aurora or take care of her the way he should. Ethan only want aurora as a pretty toy who should stay quiet not intervene with anything regarding their life, and never have emotions that goes against what he feels. He forces her to quit her job,doesn’t esn’t allow her to go a step without him knowing about and wants her submission above all else, and of course Aurora never stand her ground she ALWAYS folds for him
Reece is the only one I liked, he had his priorities straight from the beginning and it was HER.
When Ethan and Jackson get intimate Aurora disappears, they only care about each other, they never prioritize Aurora and her needs before each others. Ethan always prioritize Jackson, he only quite his job for HIM not for his pregnant girlfriend or for his unborn child, no he just did it for Jackson (I know they say otherwise but come on it’s obvious) Ethan’s always expresses his love for Jackson and never for aurora Not to say I think in reverse harems the mmcs shouldn’t get together but it’s often a problem in reverse harems books when the mmcs get together and have a stronger relationship than with the fmc,
You could see that Ethan didn’t really love Aurora he felt responsible, he even agreed to bring Reece in the group so someone else would look after her so he could go away, I get that he wanted her protection but it also feels like he just doesn’t care about spending time with her, he’s okay with leaving her and spend time traveling WITH JACKSON, he would never leave jackson…
And Jackson’s only redeeming quality was his love for Aurora but after Ethan he kind of put Ethan first?
They always say things like this “your my world I love you…… and Aurora” she’s always an afterthought
And Aurora has to learn to stand up for herself, she always excuses their behavior, they can fight and it will always be her fault and she’s the one who has to bridge the gap between them or she just doesn’t fight and go along with whatever they want…
Before the birth it’s said she had problems and Reece stayed with her.. I could only guess Ethan and Jackson was more focused on their jobs and each other I liked that Reece never stoped prioritize Aurora, in the end when she gets a c-section he’s the only one who goes to her? The others just stand around, she just had a surgery and she’s alone? They didn’t think to maybe go to her? And also when Aurora was scared before the surgery Jackson took Ethan’s hand and comforted him before Aurora …. Also how the first moment with Auroras baby was between Jackson and Ethan
Also in FOUR BOOKS she was pregnant? I would have liked to see their lives with a son, would Ethan always prioritize his work and Jackson or would he be there for the child and Aurora? Would Aurora learn to stand up for herself and her baby?
I know I sound very judgmental and picky but this is just my opinion, something’s is written and something’s you just feel so even though sometimes my opinion doesn’t align with what was said but more about how I interpreted it

This was a little different than I thought it would be considering how the series started but I loved how it ended. I loved getting to know more about our main characters but also other supporting characters. Such a good read.
This series was 1 of my first “Why Choose” series... I loved the series so much. While book 4 wasn’t my fav book of the series, it did complete it for me and made me happy for all the characters.
I am so thankfully to Jessica & Crowns & Chaos for the opportunity to be a Street Team member for this series. Its been so much fun.

Oh. My. Jessica...There better be another book because you absolutely cannot leave us here.
This series has been an unexpected, chaotic, exhilarating ride, and I love coming back to this universe just to have it grow! We got more of the twins and Charlie in book 4 and that made me so happy! The way this family comes together isn’t traditional (or even a little realistic), but it’s perfect. Every character plays a very specific role in this unit, and watching them strengthen this unconventional family had me fully invested.
The care and patience and understanding they show each other, the layered dynamics, and the suspense subplot kept me locked in the entire time. It all just works and I hope there's so much more to come.
They’re inching toward their HEA…but I’m begging for one more book to get them fully across the finish line instead of teasing us right at the edge.
Thank you @authorjessicalyn and @crownsandchaos_pr for the ARC. 💙
⭐️ “I want you,” I whisper against his lips. “I have the urge to burn down anything that keeps you from me.” He stifles a chuckle, and his warm breath caresses my skin. “I see you’ve amped up the crazy.” “Crazy in love with you.” ⭐️
⭐️ “They’re…” I swallow hard, my own eyes filling with tears. “Perfect.” “Yes,” he dips his head and whispers, “and so are you, so are we. Fate works in mysterious ways, baby. You have nothing to fear.” ⭐️
This series has had me in a literal chokehold from book one. Now book four is done and I’m still wanting more, because WHY NOT.
I loved how Jessica had the dynamics in this relationship change so seamlessly, yes okay, jackson wasn’t happy with Ethan at first and again wasn’t happy with Reece joining but he got past all that to see that aurora loved them all.
Jackson was also able to open up and love Ethan which in turn gave him more stability and Ethan in turn fell HARD. I loved how they all navigated moving into this relationship.
Ethan, god I love him so much. He is just a dream. The boss of it all, making sure Aurora is safe, making sure Jackson is loved and making sure Reece understands them all.
Reece, I wasn’t sure on him as I didn’t know how well he would fit but boy does he make himself known in this one. Not only getting the girl but respecting Jackson and Ethan come in that bracket of him having Aurora.
Aurora. You live your dream girl. 😮💨
I loved it. I wish I could re read for the first time again.
Okay so I couldn’t decide between 3.5 and 4 rating for this book so I just rounded it up lol
I have loved this series so much but I can’t help but feel like this book lacked a bit. I don’t know what it was, not much happened after drama of book 3. This one was more focused on Jax and Ethan. There was even a few chapters dedicated to The Twins and Reece’s parter Charlie / Lucas which I get sets up another series based on them but it just took away from the MC’s of this series. I felt like Aurora got left behind a bit in this book too.
But I did enjoy seeing Aurora, Jax, Ethan and Reece learning to live together and how their dynamic will work and the sacrifices they make to keep their family together. The way they supported Reece when he had to face his family was so good, I loved the banter between Jax and Reece and the protectiveness of daddy Ethan.
The epilogue was one of my favourite parts when we finally get to see how the guys react to the baby.
Yes, I get more Reese and that's always a good thing as far as I am concerned. We get to meet his family and well, some of them are amazing and some of them just need to disappear. This one also gives us a little more time with the twins and Charlie "Lucas", and I loved and hated it, but won't spoil it for you. This one is definitely more emotional than the others, as each person grows so much. Jackson especially.
Let me just start this by saying that I truly did enjoy the first three books (book 1 & 2 the most) that I practically flew threw them. I was really looking forward to the last book because I had hoped to see growth with the guys and Aurora, and that the baby would finally be born, and we could see them as parents. Instead, we got Ethan more concerned about his relationship with Jax, POVs from secondary characters, and the baby isn't even born until the epilogue. FOUR books of her being pregnant, and she doesn't have the baby until the very end. So, if you're like me and are excited to watch them grow as parents, you're going to be so disappointed. These guys didn't improve; they were toxic and didn't care about how awful they treated Aurora, just turning around to gaslight her and bring her back into their toxicity over and over again. And she was made as a weak FMC who allowed this to happen and would easily forgive them. I'm all for dark romances, love them in fact, but to romanticize aggressive (and not in the cute way) men and not give them a redeeming arc is not for me.
I'm so annoyed because through most of this book, you're getting mostly Jax/Ethan, Lucas/Dante/Des, and very little Reece/Aurora. IMO, Jax and Ethan should have been more focused on bettering themselves for the relationship they already had instead of going all in with each other. I looooove mm relationships, so it's not because of that whatsoever. I loved seeing them get closer in book 3. The issue is that they left her in the care of their bodyguard so he could take care of her, and they could do whatever they wanted in their hockey world, all while she was pregnant. Reece even tried to explain this to them while he was injured from a bullet, and they got defensive. You didn't want to take responsibility for your wife, your girlfriend, and your unborn baby, and you put your responsibilities on someone else, and continued to keep your relationship on the back burner as if the two people who should matter the most don't mean a thing to you. Yuck.
This was seriously the most disappointing final book in a series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The way that I have loved each of these characters throughout this entire series. This book was everything I ever could have wanted for each of them.
I love how each relationship progressed on its own and each one was different. But each one made me so incredibly happy. And the relationship between Ethan and Jax- my GOD. I am obsessed. They had me overheating and cackling at the same time. I just love them so much. And our sweet Reece. Finally finding his place in the relationship and with Aurora.
I also LOVED the peek at the twins and Lucas and can't wait for that story.
Triple Power Play 4 is the fourth book in the Obsessed Players Club Series. It is a dark, why choose, bodyguard, hockey romance with a coach/player relationship, M/M, and a pregnant FMC.
This was an amazing read. The series captivated me from the very beginning and I simply could not get enough. I loved the characters, the hurdles to their relationships, and the way they made it all work out. I adored all of the relationships represented in this book, especially the new ones.
The writing, pace, flow, storytelling, characters, and plot were all terrific, as were the character development, relationship development, and storyline. If you love complicated relationships, very possessive men, M/M action, and why choose, then I'd absolutely recommend this book.
Oooo I’ve been waiting for the spice to get spicy in this series and the author FINALLY delivered in this book! Thank you! As always tho… there could’ve been more spice. The epilogue was pointless baby delivery fluff. I was hoping for a final group spicy scene but no dice.
This one felt different than the rest of the story. It was spicier but they kind of separated into pairs for a lot of it and the storyline was a little different. I still liked it though.
Even though I enjoyed all the relationships between the men, including those not in the main group, I felt like Aurora was no longer a part of the story.
After reading all four books in this series I’m disgusted by the MMC behavior. The only one that treated Aurora correctly was Reece. This is not dark romance by any means. Dark romance does NOT romanticize domestic violence. Jackson and Ethan repeatedly physically, emotionally and mentally abuse Aurora and somehow every single time it’s her fault for what happens. No mental disorders or trauma excuses their behavior and abuse they inflict on the FMC. I will never understand when authors try to normalize this behavior. The trigger warning says the characters do not need to be fixed but they really do. Jackson and Ethan are not good people to anyone, especially Aurora. They only care for each other.
The plot no longer exists and I have no clue what I just read. It started to deviate in book three and I hoped things would turn around but they did not, it got so much worse. There was literally 8 chapters from side characters and their own love story which is absurd. If they do get a book it won’t be for another three books since the next three have already been announced so I have no clue why they got so much attention in this book.
This isn’t even a MMFM reverse harem at this point, it’s a MMM (Lucas, Dante and Desmond), MM (Jax and Ethan) and FM (Aurora and Reece.) It is very apparent that Ethan does not love Aurora and only sees her as a responsibility. Jackson also is an extremely selfish character who wants everyone to love him the most and has never treated Aurora with respect, neither of them have. Jackson goes out of his way to make Aurora miserable and prays on her insecurities. For example in one of the other books he makes Aurora believe Ethan is cheating on her and literally for what? Just to get her to cry and feel as though she is not enough. He has quite literally never thought about her or her feelings, only what he can gain. That is not a mental disorder or trauma, that’s just a selfish person. The only character that truly loves her and puts her first is Reece. Sure he has made minor mistakes but he has never abused her like Jackson and Ethan.
This series should have been cut down to two to three books, not four. The original plot was Aurora getting pregnant yet that seemed to become a subplot and she doesn’t even give birth until the epilogue.
The epilogue was insane and really highlighted how little Ethan and Jackson care about Aurora. This woman has preeclampsia which can be deadly, then during delivery starts losing blood, having her blood pressure drop and passes out but Ethan decides to leave her and follow their infant. Then neither him nor Jackson think to check on her hours after she should have been out of surgery. Reece is the one who goes to see what’s wrong, neither Ethan or Jackson get up when he does this. Reece finds her curled up in a hospital bed alone so she’s obviously been there for a while and is the only one who is scared for her. I understand it was Ethan’s biological son but he never should have been the one to go back with Aurora, it should have been Reece. He would have been checking in on her the entire time, not thinking about himself like Ethan.
Overall, this series was deeply disappointing and I would not recommend it. The writing is not horrible to start with but it deteriorated the longer the series went on for.
Triple Power Play 4 by Jessica Lyn - Book 4 in the Obsessed Players Club series Release Date: December 23, 2025
Blurb: Growing up, my dreams were simple: earn enough money to cover rent and take care of my grandparents. I stayed home after graduation while my only friend moved to LA. I watched with envy as she posted pictures from ritzy nightclubs with celebrities and professional athletes while I worked two waitressing jobs to get by.
Then my world collides with hockey star Jackson O’Reilly. He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met—a hurricane of chaotic energy, a whirlwind of unpredictable passion. He consumes me. He becomes my best friend, my soulmate, and his dark side breaks me.
Until Ethan Blackwood steps in. Powerful, possessive, and determined to fix not only me, but Jackson, too. He loves us both, and he has the strength to battle Jackson’s inner demons and corrupt father, Kyle.
We build a family, including the man who’s been there all along, undercover agent Reece Abercrombie. My shadow, my protective bodyguard, he’ll do anything for me, even take a bullet for Jackson.
As we become closer, our found family grows, and so does the danger. And when one of us doesn’t come home… it all threatens to fall apart.
Loyalties are tested. Sacrifices are made. Minds and bodies break. Hearts are united.
Thoughts: This was such a perfect ending for this series but also left so much room to explore these characters and their complex dynamics. There is so much going on in this universe of story telling and it is so much more than just a why choose hockey romance.
There are dark themes in this story and not one character lacks in personal complications. Make sure to start at book one of this series because they are not stand alone books!

I was laughing, crying and even scared at times during this book. I would also like it known that the spice scenes in this book are chef's kiss, probably the best spice I've read from Jessica. All her spice is good by the way, this is just next level. Especially this one part that you'll have to read the book to find out about 🤭
Special thank you to @authorjessicalyn and @crownsandchaos_pr for the opportunity to be an ARC reader once again. I had a blast with this entire series, I'm so sad that the series is over but excited to see what comes next.
✨ARC Review✨ I was equal parts excited and sad when I started reading this book because I knew it was the final one in the series. So much happened for Aurora, Ethan and Jax in the first books and now Reece is added to the mix. Not everyone was a Reece fan (I totally was) but we had a lot of converts after this book! A lot of this book is Reece’s story along with the continuation of the plot line, and how he will fit into this little found family.
Aurora’s pregnancy is progressing and the intimacy between her and Reece is finally cemented. He wants her to know that he is all in regardless of the circumstances. The relationship between Ethan and Jax started evolving in book 3 to something romantic, and the two are trying to figure out that dynamic on many levels. How it will work between them, how it affects their relationship with Aurora, will they be forced to choose their careers or relationship?
We also see an unexpected relationship forming between the Rossi twins and Charlie (Lucas), Reece’s best friend and partner. There is some drama when he is kidnapped instead of Aurora, and what was slightly questionable about staying in LA vs moving to NY becomes more urgent. A lot of puzzle pieces come together for their family when they all go to Charleston for Reece’s sister’s wedding.
At first, I hated the ending of the book, I’m not going to lie. It’s why I didn’t write the review right away, because I loved the series so much. The more I sat with it though, the more that I realized it worked. The author left it open for more smaller stories as well as pieces of the characters to show in the stories she will write about the Rossi twins. Overall, great wrap to a great series. #triplepowerplay4 #obsessedplayersclub #whychoose #accidentalpregnancy #darkhockeyromance
This book picks up exactly where book three left off, and I loved every single minute of it. As the final book in the series, it gave me everything I hoped for, and I’m honestly not ready to say goodbye to these characters.
Watching Ethan and Jax finally explore their feelings was one of my favourite parts. The way Ethan shows up for Jax, supports him, and works through things with him was so satisfying. Jax, with his obsessive, possessive, chaotic, hyped-up energy, completely stole my heart while Ethan, the calm, problem-solving, head-of-the-family type, balanced him perfectly. Their dynamic was everything.
This book really focuses on healing. All of them are working through their trauma and struggles, and I loved how raw and real it felt. Aurora is truly the heart and glue of their family, holding them together in a way that feels natural and earned. And Reece… the protector. Watching him open up, grow emotionally, and deepen his relationships was so rewarding. Seeing them fully become a real, loving family hit me right in the feels.
We also get more time with the side characters especially the twins and wow, I desperately need more of them. There are a few others I’d love to see more from too, but I’ll keep this spoiler-free.
The writing was fantastic, allowing you to really feel every emotion and connection as they worked through their feelings. The pacing was spot on and flowed beautifully from start to finish.
Overall, I loved this book, loved this series, and I cannot wait to see what Jessica Lyn gives us next. Thank you so much for trusting me with this ARC.
This series has had me in a literal chokehold since book one, and seeing it all come to an end in Triple Power Play 4 has me feeling every emotion possible! Jessica Lyn has absolutely mastered the art of making you feel the love and the struggle right down to your bones, and I am so beyond ready for the next chapter of this universe. Watching the dynamics shift so seamlessly as Aurora, Ethan, Jackson, and Reece grew into their found family was pure perfection; between Ethan and Jax finally exploring their feelings (the calm boss-man and the chaotic, obsessive soulmate we all need!), Reece stepping up as the ultimate protector who proves he's all-in, and Aurora acting as the heart and glue through her pregnancy, it was everything I wanted and more.
It isn’t just about the scorching spice—though believe me, it is scorching 🌶️—but about the raw, real healing as they all navigate their traumas and choose each other over their pasts. I was on the edge of my seat during the high-stakes drama and the kidnapping scare, and then immediately kicking my feet giggling over the side characters like the Rossi twins and Lucas. I will seriously never hear that specific song the same way again, and I am officially manifesting a spin-off for them! Even though I struggled with the ending for a second because I wasn't ready to let go, sitting with it made me realize how perfectly it leaves the door open for future stories while giving this crew the beautiful "happily ever after" they fought so hard for. If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to go one-click the entire series immediately because you won't regret a single second spent with these characters!
Jessica Lyn blew me away yet again with the epic conclusion of this series. She has opened the door to several other series with several characters in this series and I am here for it. I absolutely love the world that she has built and cannot wait for what she has in store for us next. Everyone knows that Jackson is my book hubby for life. I am obsessed with all things Jackson. I love how beautifully broken and damaged he is. If any of the characters desereves a happy ending it is him. He has been through hell and back. He has had to live a life that no one should and he finally comes to terms with not only who he is but how he functions within this family unit. This book does a deep dive into the different relationship dynamics and what it takes to bring all those different relationships together to make their family an unit. Each member gives the other members something they need and are missing in their lives. No one person can meet all the needs of the individual. This book helps them explore their place and learn to be ok with needing others to help them where they are weak. We learn alot more about Reece and his background in this book. I will say when I first started this series, I wasn't as fond of him within the groups dynamic. Over time he has grown on me and I can see where he fits. Is he my favorite of course not. No one can take my Jackson's place, but as a character he has more to offer than I orginally thought. I am obsessed with all things Triple Power Play. If you love a good why choose, hockey romance this book series is for you. You will not be disappointed in giving it a shot.
I can’t believe this series is done. What a fantastic ending. I picked up book one just because the cover. I mean come on who wouldn’t with that guy on the cover! 😍. I am so glad I did. I am obsessed with these characters.
Book 4 is a journey! We pick up with Reece in the hospital and Ethan & Jackson deciding to explore their feelings. Isn’t it every girls dream for her boyfriends to be boyfriends?! The way Ethan was so careful with Jackson was so sweet. Jackson’s trauma was always considered and he stepped lightly into things to keep his mental health safe. Ethan is the ultimate problem solver. The head of the harem in my opinion. Jackson is my favorite character. He struggles with his trauma and addiction but has remained strong knowing he wants his family more than anything else. He and Aurora have the best connection. The kind you wish for in real life. The other half of your soul. I loved how he pushed Reece and eventually reached acceptance. Reece is the protector. He took a bullet for Jackson. What more can you say. I loved seeing how he and Aurora developed their relationship and how that incorporated into the family.
The twins story was so good!!! I hope we see them more in future books. I will never listen to that song again without thinking of them. Want to know the song? Read the book! lol.
I couldn’t recommend this series more. One of my favorites for this year!
Este es el cuarto libro de la serie; no empieces a leer por aquí, que no te enterarás de nada.
Estoy totalmente living con estos personajes. Es cierto que en esta cuarta parte la trama se va un poco a la mierda porque en el tercero quedó casi todo bastante cerrado y lo que ocurre, aunque tiene su importancia, se pasa muy rápido y luego se queda en segundo plano.
Entiendo que la autora lo ha hecho de esta manera para poder darnos a los lectores un poco de qué esperar en el spin off mientras cerraba la parte más sentimental del cuarteto.
Puede resultar un poco de relleno para algunos, no lo niego. Yo, sin embargo, lo he disfrutado mucho porque quería ver cómo encajaban las piezas y los roles de cada uno en esta familia.
Me da pena que el personaje de Aurora se haya ido desdibujando a lo largo de las entregas. Al principio era un personaje mucho más redondo y poco a poco se ha ido quedando atrás como . Que entiendo cómo hemos llegado ahí y que otros personajes piden páginas y espacio, por lo que no pueden estar en el candelero tanto como antes, PERO justo tiene que recortarse al único personaje principal femenino. Eso es algo que no me ha gustado y se va una estrella entera por este motivo.
Por todo lo demás, para mí es absolutamente recomendable, la he disfrutado muchísimo.
Hands down the best book of the series! And the darkest!
I have been crazy obsessed with this series since book one! The possession. The obsession. The banter. The connection. This is by far my favourite dark hockey romance series. Add in why choose with a unhinged hockey player that will do anything to have those he wants, a dominant coach who will stop at nothing to protect those he loves whil calling them brats🤭, a pierced bodyguard who accepts her other boyfriends so he can have her and a boss babe who has no problem sticking up for herself.
They dynamic between Jackson, Ethan, Reese and Aurora was beautifully written and there story was one that I will never get out of my head!
Jackson’s demons are really coming after him in this book and I cried so much for him. We thought we saw everything when it came to him and his past but it still creeps up on him like a masked stalker.
Jessica knows how to tell a story with the right amount of plot, spice, and all the feels. I didn't want their story to be done but all good things must come to an end.
And those chapters with a certain trio? When I tell you I screamed! So taboo❤️ I need their story pronto!
I hope we get to see these 4 that we have fallen I love with in other stories so we don't have to say goodbye forever.
If you haven't added Triple Power Play 4 or the first 3 to your TBR then you need to. NOW!
I loved this whole series , I love the growth Jax had through out all 4 books. Aurora needed a damm break she never got and the only one really worried about her was Reece, I wish Ethan would have been a little less controlling and more open to loving them both and a little more understanding towards Jax Clinginess and wanting to be claimed publicly which we didn't see till the end of the book and felt rushed. I wish we could have seen more Justice for the people that attacked Lucas (Charlie) and abused Jax but maybe if there is a spin off series there will be more on that. The only part that really irked me is the fact that Aurora got rushed off to surgery ,and then got left alone like what ? Ethan after all his controlling ways didn't stay with her , Jax with his Aurora is his and worried as hell the whole time she's in surgery didn't rush back there as soon as Ethan said her blood pressure was bad, the only one with common sense and Auroras well being in mind was Reece once again and that irritated me cause Jax and Ethan for all the crap they did and controlled Aurora through out the series didn't care ? I don't know I know the baby needed them but I felt She did too. I did love the series , I think the ending should have been stretched out more in my opinion and we could have seen a part of the book where Aurora was not pregnant in the series or stressed out or exhausted from dealing with all the crap they got dealt with.

Jessica did it again with this final installment of the series. While this book was less action packed than the last book there was still plenty of drama going on to keep you entertained.
The MMCs are broody, possessive, and obsessed with their girl. The way they she makes them so uniquely different with their own issues, traumas, and acts of love they bring to the relationship. This book focused more on the relationship between Jax and Ethan but don’t worry there is still plenty of Reece and Aurora included. I love all The side characters- Charlie (Lucas), the Twins, and Rocco.
I’m torn about how the book ended. I know that it leaves it open for more stories in the future but I feel like I didn’t get closure either. I do hope to see future books or novellas about the Rossi Twins with Lucas and Rocco with Reece’s sister Harper. Overall, I have absolutely loved this series and am so sad that it is over.

Thank you to Jessica Lyn and Crowns & Chaos Literary Management for my early copy in exchange for my honest review.
Okay... this book was SO good!! We pick up right where we left off in Triple Power Play 3 and I am just in love! I cannot believe that this is the final book in this series but I definitely can't wait for Jessica to give us a little more from some of the other characters hehe. The twins and Lucas and he me kicking my feet and giggling like a little girl.
It was so healing and cathartic getting to watch Ethan and Jax find each other in their own way in their romance. The way that they can give each other what the others can't is so amazing. Aurora is so loving and accepting of everyone and the way that they pull grumpy ol' Reece in with them just heals a part of me. I'm a sucker for a found family. Having people who accept you for who you are and your baggage is the best feeling in the world.
This book allows us to delve deeper into Ethan, Jax, Reece, and Aurora's relationships and it doesn't always focus on the hot stuff. We actually get to see their bonds deepen and explore the trauma that they have experienced.
I really hope that Jessica blesses us with more from these characters!! I cannot believe that it is already over.
Thank you so much to Jessica Lyn for a copy of this ARC and for allowing me to be apart of your street team.
