Resumen del Editor

Claim your new obsession from TikTok sensation Grace Reilly, a spicy brother’s rival hockey romance! Perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Liz Tomforde and Elsie Silver.

He’s my brother’s biggest hockey rival…but he’s bringing the heat for me.

Nikolai

Hockey is my life, and I need to make this last season count. But when I’m forced to transfer to rival school McKee University for my senior year, I risk pissing off the captain, who happens to be the older brother of Isabelle Callahan: the gorgeous beam of sunshine I messed around with in secret this summer.

Rekindling our fling could risk her brother icing me off the team—not to mention the fact that my scarred past makes having a real relationship impossible—and yet the moment I see Isabelle again, all my wild, burning feelings come rushing back.

Izzy

I have two goals for sophomore year: win back my old volleyball position, and forget I ever knew devilishly handsome hockey defenseman Nikolai Abney-Volkov. As the youngest and only daughter in a family full of athletes, failure isn’t an option.

But when Nik crashes back into my life, I can’t stay away from his broody charm. I’m determined to guard my heart this time, but between the furtive hookups and the heartfelt conversations, the lines between friends-with-benefits and more begin to blur.

As we fall deeper into a place we can’t come back from unscathed, we’ll have to make a choice: fight for a future together, or watch it go up in flames.

Filled with swoons, spice, sports, and koalas, Wicked Serve is a don’t-miss new adult college sports romance.

Nik and Izzy

Wicked Serve is the fourth and final book in the Beyond the Play series. It tells the story of Nik and Izzy. Izzy is the only daughter and youngest sibling in the Callahan family. Nik plays hockey for Izzy's brother's rival team. Nik and Izzy fit well together. I loved the evolution of their relationship as they worked through their individual issues. They stood by each other even when it was difficult to do so. This story has deeper topics and is more emotional than I expected. I was invested in their journey and rooted for them.

Nik absolutely made the story for me. I couldn't get enough of him. He fell hard for Izzy and was super supportive of her. Nik had a difficult past and lots of trauma from his childhood. I loved his mental health journey. He didn't shy away from confronting his issues and prioritized getting the help he needed. I stan a man that goes to therapy. Of course, you can't go wrong with a dirty-talking hockey player.

As a sports romance fanatic and former athlete, I love reading stories where both the MMC and FMC are athletes. I loved the forbidden nature of Nik and Izzy's relationship, and there is some really good spice. They had amazing chemistry and couldn’t keep their hands off each other. I loved how Nik showed Izzy how she deserves to be treated. I also loved how he gave Izzy the space to be herself. I love a man who empowers his woman. I really loved the found family element and how the story wrapped up with a heartwarming HEA.

🎧𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:
Faith Clark and Oscar Reyes performed dual narration for this story. Oscar did an amazing job with Nik's Russian accent. Faith and Oscar gave the characters the perfect personalities and really brought them to life. I could feel the emotions as the characters navigated their relationship and their personal struggles.
