The Darling Devils #3
Wild Darling
Not yet published
Expected 7 Apr 26Alexandra 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3.75)
Wild Darling by Alexandra Moody was another super cute YA romance that pulled me in straight away. Just like the other books in the series, it was such a fun and easy read, and I found myself hooked from the very beginning.
While I didn’t connect with the romance quite as much as I did in the other two books, it was still incredibly sweet and enjoyable. The story had that same light, addictive vibe that makes these books so easy to fly through, and I loved spending more time in this world.
Overall, this was a really fun read and a great addition to the series. If you enjoy cute, fast-paced YA romances that you can get lost in for a few hours, this one is definitely worth picking up.

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!

BOOK REVIEW
ahhh I loved this book! I’ve been waiting for this one for a while hehe, I was keen to see where Parker’s story would go and I’m obsessed!
I love myself a good enemies to lovers and forbidden romance book and this one hit the spot with The perfect amount of banter!
This is officially my favourite in the series, and I love how women are finally getting recognition in men’s sports lately in books😍
Both Parker and kenzie have something to prove, not only to themselves but to everyone around them and after an unfortunate incident a few years prior that they find themselves together once again.
This is the perfect YA hockey book and if you have read the previous books you will absolutely love this. It was such an easy read and I finished it in a few hours!

3.75☆
Something about this series, its a very good and fun YA !
He was fun and flirty and she gave sass
Their annoyance at eachother felt real and then so did their feelings
I love that she was rusty from hockey and had to train to get her fitness back it felt realistic and was great for forced proximity
A Grumpy coach is different & made the conflict make sense

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!
March 12, 2026
