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.

In Wild Darling, the third in the Darling Devil Series by Alexandra Moody, hockey-obsessed teenagers Parker and Kenzie are forced together on the ice. The conflict? Kenzie’s new coach also happens to be her strict dad, who despises Parker. Sparks and old rivalries fly as they try to save their team’s season without crossing the line. I loved the sharp, intense, playful banter and how Kenzie breaks boundaries to prove her skills. Fans of young adult sports romances will be obsessed!
