Description
Alexandra 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!
Enemies. Team-mates. Something dangerously close to more ...
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 gets injured, 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.
You've never fallen so hard for love on the ice!
The third book in the bestselling DARLING DEVILS ice-hockey YA wholesome romance series taking the world by storm, new for 2026!

Reviews
Praise for Rival Darling:
You don't get how many times I had to stop just so I could contain my giggling. This book is a must!
"I fell in love with this book right away. The plot twists. The characters. The love story. Everything. A truly great book if you love romance!"
"Read this in one day. So cute and wholesome!!! Loved the couple, and all the side characters. Can't wait for the next book!!!"
"I absolutely loved this book so much. I loved the characters and the surprising ending had me laughing and crying. Can't wait for Grumpy Darling."
"Throughout this whole book I was a grinning mess and even cackled out loud. I LOVED the humour and banter between Violet and Reed and cant wait to read the next book!"
"Rival Darling is the first book I've read from Alexandra Moody, and she knocked it out of the park. This sweet romance is the kind you sacrifice sleep to keep reading with the classic reasoning "just one more page."
Praise for Grumpy Darling:
"Clean, low spice, slow burn romance with (as mentioned in the title) a Grumpy x Sunshine relationship between Paige & Grayson! There are plot twists, great character set ups and some amazingly witty banter which will have you giggling your socks off."
"The writing strikes the perfect balance between sweet and playful."
"Absolutely loved Grayson and Paige's story. The journey they take together to find their HEA. What they both went through together.Loving The Darling Devils series."
"Paige and Grayson were such an infuriatingly (in the best way) slow burn that just had me kicking my feet the whole time. Grumpy Gray blew me away. Who knew he could be so sweet?!? The first date?? I cried. He was the biggest softy for Paige. This was such a fun trip back to Ransom. I hope we get Parker's story!
"Grayson is the dream boyfriend! He is absolutely amazing!"
