Book Review: Rush the Edge (Blue Devils Hockey #3) by SJ Sylvis
From the moment I saw the vibrant cover of Rush the Edge, I felt a spark of excitement that promised a wild ride. SJ Sylvis has become a familiar name on my bookshelf lately, captivating me with her unique blend of humor, heart, and sizzling tension. After falling for the previous books in the Blue Devils Hockey series, I dove into this one with high hopes—and let me tell you, it delivered more than I ever expected!
Rush the Edge centers around the electrifying chemistry between Kane, a hockey player with a big heart, and Daisy, his best friend’s little sister, who is anything but predictable. The enemies-to-lovers trope always intrigues me, but Sylvis took it to an entirely new level. The banter between Kane and Daisy is both sharp and hilarious, making me chuckle out loud on more than one occasion. Their dynamic oscillates between playful rivalry and genuine tension, leaving me hanging on every word. The forced proximity—era of their close quarters due to living next door—serves as the perfect backdrop for their relationship to evolve, allowing readers to witness their hatred melting into something undeniably passionate.
The pacing in Rush the Edge is spot-on. I found myself unable to put it down, and sleep quickly became a distant memory. I hesitated to take breaks—every chapter left me craving more, from the laugh-out-loud moments to the heart-squeezing scenes. It’s not just the romance that shines here, although it certainly does; it’s also how Sylvis captures the essence of friendship, family dynamics, and the challenges of pursuing one’s passions.
One of the standout moments for me was when Kane tenderly tells Daisy, “You’re not just a woman; you’re Daisy.” This simple line encapsulates the depth of his feelings and highlights how he truly sees her beyond her connection to his best friend. I felt a flutter in my chest, realizing how beautifully the author entwines heartfelt sentimentality within the story’s fiery tension.
The abundance of spice in this book is also worth mentioning—it’s enough to have a girl on the edge of her seat, both anticipating and reveling in the heat between Kane and Daisy. With three 🌶️ flames, it lives up to all the promises of passion, but it’s the emotional depth that really struck a chord. I felt everything from deep love to blazing anger, and I loved every second of it.
In conclusion, if you’re a fan of hockey romance, enemies-to-lovers, or any combination of brother’s best friend and workplace romance, Rush the Edge is a must-read. It’s not just a story; it’s an experience that left me with a full heart and a grin plastered on my face. I cannot recommend this enough—SJ Sylvis has truly created something special here that lingers long after the last page is turned. I will carry Kane and Daisy’s story with me, and who knows? I might just go back and reread it to relive the thrill all over again!
So grab your copy, get cozy, and prepare for an unforgettable journey full of laughter, love, and just the right amount of spice! 🌟💙
