Pretty sure I was a serial killer in my past life. Because karma is kicking my ass in this one. Everything was copasetic. I was coasting on the wave of life… until a gnarly swell pulled me under, and I washed ashore to a nightmare. A nightmare there was no waking from. So I packed my shit and moved all the way to the other side of the country—to the only place someone was willing to give me a second chance. I came to swim, and though I’m on the team, I don’t want to be Elite. These bros are exactly like the ones I left behind, and I’m not stupid enough to get betrayed again. But then karma shows up and laughs right in my face. I slept with my coach’s daughter. Because of course I fucking did. And though she calls to me like a siren, that night was just a distraction. A one-time thing. Until she shows up at Daddy’s pool as the assistant coach. Now the very girl I can’t get off my mind is the one just declared off-limits. Naturally, my heart decides it can’t beat without her jade stare, sassy mouth, and car that cruises so slow it uses a calendar as a speedometer. Now I’m at the top of Coach’s shit list, and everything I left in Cali comes knocking at my door. With Landry’s safety on the line, I won’t just roll over and take it. This time, I’ll put up a fight. There’s no telling what I’ll do or how far I’ll go to make sure Landry isn’t punished for standing by my side. When things get dangerous, I know this wildcard can’t play this game alone. Because even if trusting people doesn’t come easy… loving her does. Wildcard is a college sports romance novel that can be read as a standalone.

This world got another fun twist when Coach’s daughter transferred to Westbrook—in some series, the books are sort-of ‘all the same’ but 5 books deep, this one absolutely isn’t.
In this one, we get a male lead who has been falsely accused of mürd3r and a female lead who has more faith in him than he does himself.
Forbidden vibes (assistant coach/ team member).
Athletes (swimmers).
Broken hero.
Mystery.
College campus setting.
Instalove.
Stalking.
Lots of witty banter.
Rich kids.
College campus setting.
I absolutely love the displays of loyalty and found family that this series always provides. The suspense-y vibes kept me hooked, even if it was predictable—a fun read.
4 stars.
