Wicked Serve by Grace Reilly

Thank you NetGalley & Avon publishing for the ARC!
Grace has such an interesting way of pacing a romance story compared to other authors. Iv noticed it with a few of her books. This couple has a pre-page fling, so the trope aside from brothers enemy is hard to nail down. It’s almost as if instead of the typical pace of chase/banter, getting together, 3rd act break up then HEA, she does the getting together very early and then the couples go through some sort of issue or tragedy together to test their relationship. It’s interesting and I really enjoy it. You get to see the couple handle life together for a large part of the book instead of the book just being about them getting together. It’s almost like an extended prologue the second half of the book.
Really no negatives here!! I loved Izzy & her being the youngest child of successful brothers was written extremely well.
Nik was amazing. I wish he could have been a bit more selfish in taking what he needed from the relationship, but he just cared too much to do that. I’m glad he got around to it somewhat.
The relationship with his father could have been touched on more, outside of what was in the past. I loved the ending with his mom.
All in all a great way to wrap up (I’m assuming) the series!
