The Game by Vi Keeland

 




Title: The Game
Author: Vi Keeland
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023


BLURB

It started out like any other Tuesday.

I spent twelve hours writing algorithms for one of the largest companies in the world and then came home to work on a pet project of mine—feeding facts about the men I knew into a formula to find my perfect match before my twenties came barreling to a close.

But then a man knocked on my door and handed me some papers that turned my life upside down.

Apparently, a father I never knew existed had left me something in his will. That something turned out to be part ownership in a professional football team.

Next thing I knew, I was learning a sport I knew nothing about by spending time with the team’s quarterback who was out with an injury, a man who my formula would definitely determine was all wrong for me.

Christian Knox was too handsome and confident for his own good and could have any woman he wanted. Only lately the only woman he seemed to want was me.

But there was no way I was getting involved when I was now his boss, even if he was insanely gorgeous and had the dirtiest mouth I’d ever come across.

It would be wrong, wouldn’t it?

Probably. But you know what they say about things that are wrong...sometimes they feel so right.

I found myself drawn to this book because of our leading lady in The Game. I could so see myself in Bella with all her nerdy girl life. I loved her character and how her quirks worked. I found myself really enjoying the concept that Keeland gives us with Bella inheriting part of a team. The meet cute that Bella and Christian had me giggling too! Their wit and banter had me thoroughly enjoying this book from start to finish!

Villains are Made by Alta Hensley

 

Villains Are Made by Alta Hensley is now live!

I know how villains are made.
I've watched their secrets rise from the ashes and emerge from the shadows.
As part of a family tree with roots so twisted, I'm strangled by their vine.
Imprisoned in a world of decadence and sin, I've seen Gods among men.
And he is one of them.

He is the villain.
He is the enemy who demands to be the lover.
He is the monster who has shown me pleasure but gives so much pain.
But something has changed...
He's different.
Darker.
Wildly possessive as his obsession with me grows to an inferno that can't be controlled.

Yes... he is the villain.
And he is the end of my beginning.

I am a huge fan of Hensley’s writing and Villains are Made is a great start to this new series. I loved the tie with Greek Mythology as well. There are lots of twists and turns which I adore from this author but also so much more. The way the author weaves this story together with the concept and how it all plays out had me fully engaged from start to finish! I am 100% a sucker for arranged marriage stories and this one gave all the candy. 100% check your triggers for this story though. There is a massive level of complexity to this story and it is not for everyone!

The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen

 



The Act of Trusting by Lexi Bissen is now live!



There was a sadness in her clear, gray eyes that I could see she tried to hide. A fight with her inner demons she didn't want to show anyone...

Camden Collins
Life was going well for me. I was on the right track: captain of the soccer team, grades were passing, and I had the respect of my team. Girls threw themselves at me. It was every twenty-year-old's dream.
Then I saw her...
One look at her, and it all changed. Something about her drew me in. A sense of protectiveness to guard this small, sad girl. In her eyes, I could see the fight she had within herself...and I wanted to be there for her. To protect her and be someone to lean on while she fought whatever it was. Nothing else seemed to matter but the dark-haired, beautiful girl I couldn't stay away from.

Blaire Wentworth
I wasn't the same girl I was four years ago. My life was stolen from me one night and I'd never have the chance to get old me back. Now I was just existing, not living. I went through the motions of my everyday routine, staying quiet and keeping to myself. Trusting and letting people in was a constant struggle.
Until he showed up...
I'd never seen someone like him before. Not once had I described a guy as beautiful, but that's what he was. He struck something in me, and I didn't know how to handle that. I was chasing nightmares no one knew about. Ones I kept to myself for a reason. Could I let this new person into my life that I had kept closed off from many for far too long? What if I let my guard down and he ended up destroying me?
And that became my greatest fear...

Seeing this author’s growth since her last novel was 100% a treat. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. What I really lived for was the fact that Camden was not a grade A jerk like a lot of campus king jocks are. Then the connection with Blaire was stunning to say the least. There is a small level of angst within this story but it adds to the typical college drama. It felt like the right amount. The history that Blaire has plays a major factor into this story as well as Camden growing his character as well. This story is a great blend of everything and had me engaged from the first page. A solid start to a new series and a return to the writing world from Bissen.

Mated in Chaos by Carrie Ann Ryan

 




Title: Mated in Chaos
Series: Aspen Pack #3
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: January 16, 2023


BLURB

My wolf hid my fated mates—until the moon goddess forced our mating.  

As Alpha of the Central Pack, I know we are the weakest link in the alliance, but I will stop at nothing to prove our worth and rebuild from our shameful and brutal past.

Along the way I fell for Adalyn and Nico, but stayed away, thinking they were fated for each other—and never me.

When a mating bond is forced on us, our worlds collide and now we must survive in this new fated life where rules break and  the heat between us boils over.

Only Valac’s revenge over losing his mate in our previous battles take danger to a new level and if I’m not careful, I’ll lose my two mates before I even get a chance to make them fall for me like I have for them.

And if we’re not careful, the darker danger hiding in the shadows might break us all. As Valac’s master is waiting. And he’s closer than we think.

The one thing I really enjoyed about this book was the emotional depth it had. This pack has had its share of bad times but seeing the connection between Cole, Adalyn and Nico was something unique and I really enjoyed the concept behind their bond. While their hand is forced, at the same time, that sizzling chemistry is undeniable as they go through so many twists and turns. This so far is my favorite of the Aspen Pack series. I don’t know if it was because of them fighting to get their place back from not being weak due to the pack's history, the fact that this was a three person bond which you don’t see often or more. Looking forward to what is next!

Deadly Encounter by K.A. Knight & Ivy Fox




𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 by K.A. Knight & Ivy Fox is LIVE!! 


Grab Your Copy Today:

https://books2read.com/-DeadlyEncounter




 

BLURB:

He stole my first kiss in the dark.

The shadows welcoming him like a lover’s touch.

And then every night since the dark brings him back to me.

He’s my demon, my nightmare, and my dream all rolled up into one.

He tells me I’m his but during the day I cannot find him.

Until my demon has no choice but to come for me, to save me.

To rescue me from the tower I am locked away in.

But does my black-eyes demon just wish to free me of those chains to fit his own?

Or am I strong enough to break their lock and find the man underneath.

Some loves are just meant to be deadly.

Mine? Was set in stone from the first Deadly Encounter…



Can I just say that I live for these two authors when they collab? The third book in the Deadly Love series has me begging for more. It is dark and delicious. Twisty and passionate. I could not get enough and I devoured it from start to finish. There are a lot of intense moments between Hale and Cara’s story but the depth of the world created is what really grabbed me. Knight and Fox hands down deliver with this story and I am so hoping we see more!

 

*Deadly Encounter is the third book in the Deadly Love Series. Each book follows a different set of characters and can be read as a stand-alone but to get the most of the story we suggest reading the books in order.*
