Thank you to Netgalley, Avon and Harper Voyager, and Grace Reilly for the chance to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

The fourth and final installment in the Beyond the Play/Callahan family series and I LOVED it!

I believe it's best read as a series- to understand the full dynamic of the family.  Especially to see Richard's guidance change through the books. I love that we've gotten to know Izzy throughout the series and adore that we had sassy glimpses of Nik too!

This story held a lot of heavy topics (just as the previous books did) such as: childhood trauma, domestic abuse, alcoholism, disordered eating and ptsd/panic disorder.  There is NOT A THIRD ACT BREAK UP- but there is conflict that is not resolved by a snap of a finger. It's resolved through real work.  I LOVE that.  Amongst the heavier piecers- there is banter, forbidden love, sportsball/puck exictement and, as per usual for our Grace Reilly, SPICE.

This was a wonderful book to end the series.  I give this book and the series 5 stars for anyone that loves sports romance for their mental escape!
