Queen B’s Decree: Wicked Serve is basically the story of what happens when a summer fling reunites and the feelings never went away.
Nikolai is expelled and his last chance to play college hockey is by transferring to McKee, the very same college his summer fling, Izzy, attends. And bonus…her brother is the captain of the hockey team and they’ve always been rivals. So many secrets, all this angst, it’s exactly what I’m here for.
Wicked Serve is a good mix of all the below:
- will they, won’t they
- “no, we’re just FRIENDS!”
- lots of spicy steam (almost too much??)
- mental health rep
- lots of damage (u should go to therapy, bro)
- “crawl to me”
- and lastly, Russian pet names
I hadn’t read the previous books in the series, but Wicked Serve can definitely be read as a standalone. It really just makes you want to read the earlier books even more. Overall, an enjoyable read that scratched the hockey itch.
