Synopsis: One prince wants her out. 
Another wants her as a pawn. 
Someone wants her dead. 

Zora wants to win the cup and tell them all to screw themselves. 

Yes, 17-year-old Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason. Her ex-boyfriend thought she couldn't attain glory on her own. Just because she was a girl. And he was the real cheater. So she took his place. 

Now she's competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley. It's her chance to prove her worth and bring glory for her people. If she wins, of course. 

But winning is far from easy. The younger prince thinks she's a fragile damsel who doesn't belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he's stacking the challenges against her. Zora hates him, hates him, hates him, and will do anything to prove him wrong. 

The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games. Flirting, the last thing she wanted. 

And then there's someone trying to kill her.

#BookReview: Legendborn (Legendborn #1) by @TracyDeonn

Synopsis: After her mother dies in an accident, sixteen-year-old Bree Matthews wants nothing to do with her family memories or childhood home. A residential program for bright high schoolers at UNC–Chapel Hill seems like the perfect escape—until Bree witnesses a magical attack her very first night on campus.

A flying demon feeding on human energies.

A secret society of so called “Legendborn” students that hunt the creatures down.

And a mysterious teenage mage who calls himself a “Merlin” and who attempts—and fails—to wipe Bree’s memory of everything she saw.

The mage’s failure unlocks Bree’s own unique magic and a buried memory with a hidden connection: the night her mother died, another Merlin was at the hospital. Now that Bree knows there’s more to her mother’s death than what’s on the police report, she’ll do whatever it takes to find out the truth, even if that means infiltrating the Legendborn as one of their initiates.

She recruits Nick, a self-exiled Legendborn with his own grudge against the group, and their reluctant partnership pulls them deeper into the society’s secrets—and closer to each other. But when the Legendborn reveal themselves as the descendants of King Arthur’s knights and explain that a magical war is coming, Bree has to decide how far she’ll go for the truth and whether she should use her magic to take the society down—or join the fight.

Figure skating was supposed to be my whole world. But one unlucky injury and now I’m down...but I’m definitely not out. I just need to rehab—a boatload of rehab—and who’d have thought I could do it on the boys’ hockey team?

Of course, the infuriatingly hot captain of the team seems to think I’m nothing but sequins and twirls. What’s a girl to do but put him in his place? Game on.

Brodie
Hockey is my whole world. I’ve worked my tail off getting my team in a position to win the championships—hopefully in front of major college scouts, too—so what’s a guy to do when a figure skater ends up as our new goalie?

Of course, the distractingly sexy skater thinks I’m nothing but a testosterone-laced competitive streak. And surely she’s only biding her time to heal, then she’s gone. Game over.

Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense/Organized Crime

Release Date: January 8, 2021

BLURB

Love is powerful force, but it doesn’t compare to guilt. 

And just like most people, my guilt eats me alive. 

I went from being an irresponsible kid who didn’t know any better, to an irresponsible man who does. 

I make no apologies. 

Don’t take my carelessness for strength. 

My blood is as thick as the water that killed my brother and once I’m cut, there’s no stopping the river of rage. 

My past is dead. I’m not like my MC brothers. Nothing is going to come bite me in the ass. 

Or so I thought. 

Because life gave me Mary, the little hellraiser who tries to be reckless. 

She’s only looking to escape the nightmare of what happened to her in Atlantic City. 

She’s a good girl. She doesn’t belong in this life. 

Even if I know she belongs with me. 

She paints her lips in red lipstick, but I know it’s an effort to hide the pain. 

There’s more than the fact we are too different to be together. 

Death calls on the Ruthless Kings. 

And like idiots, we answered. 

Her past isn’t dead. 

And mine has come back to life.

I took her innocence as payment. 

She was far too young and naïve to be betrothed to a monster like me.

That’s why she ran. 

I should’ve just let her go… 

She never asked to marry into a powerful Russian mafia family. 

None of this was her choice. 

Unfortunately for her, I don’t care. 

I own her… and after three years of searching… I’ve found her. 

My runaway bride was about to learn disobedience has consequences… punishing ones. 

Having her in my arms and under my control had become an obsession. 

Nothing was going to keep me from claiming her before the eyes of God and man. 

She’s finally mine… and I’m never letting her go.

There’s nothing better than a packed house on a Saturday night, and co-owning the hottest restaurant and bar in town with my best friends, isn’t so bad either.

I was promised against my will to an imperial general. . .so I escaped. Right into the arms of an even more ruthless Vandar warlord.

I’d thought things had been bad when I’d been ordered to marry the repulsive Zagrath general. But then I’d been captured by the empire’s most deadly enemy--the Vandar raiders. With their battle kilts and tails, the raiders are known for being fierce warriors who never take prisoners. Until now.

The fear I feel when I'm taken by the menacing Vandar warlord is confirmed when I discover why he treats me like an honored guest. Taking the general’s bride is one thing, but to strike the most personal blow the Vandar must claim me as his, taking me to his bed until his mating marks appear on my skin and mark me as his true mate.

But he has no intention of forcing me. He wants to make a deal—become his willingly and I will get what I’ve always wanted—my freedom from a loveless, arranged marriage. Can I agree to a deal with the darkly dominant warlord who stokes both my fear and desire? Even if being claimed by the Vandar is only revenge for him and freedom for me, will my heart remain untouched as he pillages my body? And will the general give me up so easily, or will he come for both of us with all the firepower of the empire?

My step-sister was an outlet for my pain, but everything has changed.

Now, I’ve got nothing to lose.

If she thought I hated her the first time we met, then she’s about to get a shock.

The rage I felt didn't compare to the fury that now consumes me.

I might be empty, but I’m going to show her how it feels by taking away everything she has... one painful piece at a time.

#ReleaseBlitz for The Hot Mess and the Heartthrob by @ReadPippa and @GiveMeBooksPR

Title: The Hot Mess and the Heartthrob

Series: Bro Code #4

Author: Pippa Grant

Genre: Romantic Comedy

Release Date: January 7, 2021

BLURB

You don’t know me, but you do know me. I’m your neighborhood hot mess single mom, doing my best to keep my head above water while running my little slice of heaven and keeping my youngest from shoving marbles up his nose, which is exactly what he’s doing the first time Levi Wilson, pop star god, world’s sexiest man, and my all-time number one celebrity obsession, walks into my bookstore. 

Related: I’m writing this from beyond the grave, because I’ve died of mortification and am now residing in an alternate universe. 

I have to be. 

Because Levi Wilson came back. 

And we had a moment. 

Like, a moment moment. The kind that makes me remember that adult pleasure isn’t all about hoping the lock holds in the bathroom so your kids don’t interrupt on the rare occasion you feel like taking an extra-long mommy-time shower. 

So when he proposes a no-strings fling? 

Count. Me. In. 

Thrill of a lifetime, right? 

Surely, nothing will go wrong… 

The Hot Mess and the Heartthrob is a rockin’ fun, sexy romantic comedy featuring a celebrity panty-melter who doesn’t know what he’s been missing, a sassy single mom hanging on by a string, three adorable children who would never burst in on a woman when she’s on a toilet (ha!), and shameless ovary-busting moments between a guy who never thought he’d be a dad and a family who thought they got along just fine without him. It stands alone and comes complete with a happily-ever-after (though you’d never go wrong to read the other Bro Code series books first).
