Izzy, our quintessential volleyball Barbie (think pink on pink on pink), shares a sizzling summer fling with Nikolai, the smoldering hot hockey player. Their friends-with-benefits arrangement (which, let's be real, was love from the get-go) evolves against a backdrop of parental pressure and zero breathing room. Cooper, the protective big brother and a fantastic friend, adds depth to the story. And oh, Nik—his dirty mouth is both sinful and endearing! 🥵And speaking of heat, this book is hotter than a beach bonfire! 🔥 Izzy and Nik’s chemistry is off the charts, and their journey from summer fling to something deeper is a rollercoaster of emotions. I cheered as he chose growth for himself and their relationship. Izzy, the kind of girl every Nik deserves, stole my heart. As a ice hockey romance enthusiast, I sprinted to sign up for this ARC. Highly recommend this interconnected standalone—it's the grand finale of the series! 🏒🔥 Don't forget to check the TW!
