Book Blurb:

Revenge came at a heavy price.

Valkyrie hacker Amber Brown is deadly in her own right, but her preferred weapon is a keyboard. So after her teammates left her for dead, she took her revenge the way she was trained to—swiftly and brutally. Except one of her targets might be innocent. To right that wrong, Amber vows to rescue the at-risk Valkyrie no matter the cost, and this time she’s working alone. So when a sexy stranger shows up in the middle of a firefight and announces he’s been sent by her sister, it’s going to take a whole lot more than his word to make her trust him. Chasing redemption may prove deadly. Elite gun for hire Jesse Cordova lives on the edge of the law. When a new job offer sets off warning bells, he digs deeper and finds the startling truth. The woman he’s been tasked with capturing is a secret government assassin, and Amber Brown is unlike any target he’s gone after before. But bringing her in opens them up to a whole new level of danger, pitting them against one of the most ruthless assassins in the world. Now that the sexy Valkyrie has stolen his heart, Jesse will risk everything to see their mission through—knowing that the only way this ends is with one of them dying.

Excerpt:

“I don’t think this is wise,” Tink said for what had to be the hundredth time since he realized I was getting ready for a night out. “Like I think this is very poorly thought-out, if you ask me, Lite Bright.”
“I didn’t ask you, Tink.”
My uninvited roommate of sorts hovered outside my bathroom. Tink wasn’t human, but right now, he looked like any normal twenty-something guy. Well, if normal, twenty-something guys had natural, shockingly white hair and were beautiful in a way that almost seemed fragile.
This was his full-grown Tink size, something I was still—even after all this time—getting used to. I was more accustomed to pint-sized Tink with the translucent wings. After all, he was a brownie.
After the attack that had taken my mother’s life and should’ve ended mine, he’d basically moved in with me. He’d been here for the last two years, something Ivy’s husband pretended to be grateful for, but in reality, I knew he secretly missed the dude.
“You should ask me,” he replied. When I glanced over at him, I got a little distracted by the dazzle…emanating from the sequin tank top he wore. It was so shimmery that I wondered if he was using some of his magic.
Tink may be a goofball, but he was also one of the most powerful creatures in our realm.
Thank God there was only one of him.
“I am a wealth of amazing advice,” he continued. Dixon, the cat he’d named after a Walking Dead character that Tink called “the hottest redneck eva” slinked around Tink’s ankles. The cat was all gray except for his tail, which looked like it had been dipped in white paint.
I snorted. “When have you ever given me good advice?”
“When I told you two weeks ago not to eat the whole carton of beignets because you’d get sick and you did,” he shot back.
I winced, picking up my mascara. I had gotten sick, but I deserved that carton of sugary, fried goodness. That day…
I didn’t want to think about that day.
“And what about when you ordered that supreme pizza and ate almost all of it?” he said. “I told you that it would probably make you feel bad later.”
Nose wrinkling, I tried to remember what night he was talking about. There were a lot of Friday nights—pizza night in my household—that I ate an entire pie and felt terrible afterward.
“Or how about that time I told you that the seared ahi tuna looked a little gray for my liking? But, oh no, Brighton knows better.” He reached down, scratching Dixon between the ears. “You ate it all, and then I spent the night cleaning up your puke.”
Ew.

Lindy
They don’t call me Belinda Boring for nothing. It’s my name, after all. And for a 23-year-old with plain brown hair who still lives at home and gets tongue tied over nothing, it’s a fitting one. I’m not even one of those quiet girls with a hidden talent, unless making a mean order of nachos at the NHL arena I work at counts. My life consists of working, reading and harboring a secret crush on a hockey player who doesn’t know I exist. At least, until we accidentally meet and become unlikely friends.
Victor
I’m living the dream. A poor kid who worked his way into the NHL, I’ll never forget where I came from, though I try to. My past follows me, a nagging reminder that I’ll never be what everyone thinks I am. As the threat of my secret being exposed looms closer, my game slips, leaving me in danger of being cut from my team--the only family I have. I’m losing my hold on everything when a new friend helps me find hope. She’s nothing like the women I’m used to, but by the time I figure out that’s exactly why she’s right for me, I’ve lost my chance with her. Somehow, I have to convince a woman who thinks she’s invisible that she’s the only one I see.

REVIEW

Victor is the third book in the Chicago Blaze series by Rothert and it brings us Victor and Lindy's story. 

Victor is struggling with his hockey playing and knows he has to figure out what's holding him back on the ice if he wants to keep his place in the line up.  A chance meeting with an unexpected woman, Lindy, turns things around for him and brings an opportunity for something more. 

Lindy isn't anyone fancy, she's not well known and she's not one to be involved in anything glamorous. She loves her job and she loves hockey so when she helps Victor out late one night it gives her a good feeling. 

I loved the premise of this story, the Cinderella effect, so to speak.  I loved the interactions between Lindy and Victor and how they pulled me in with each word.  Rothert seamlessly blended the sports and romance aspect of this story so that it all flowed well and worked together.  

With fabulous characters, a compelling plot, and the perfect touches of humor, steam and romance, Victor nets a winning story.

REVIEW


The Greek's Pregnant Cinderella was a quick but enjoyable read. Built around the angle of an unexpected baby it delivers a story about secrets and pain from the past affecting our future lives and a developing love story between two people.

Tabitha and Giannis story hits all sorts of notes, which compelled me to read on and root for a winning romance between the two.  Tabitha hasn't had an easy life, dealing with a painful past and trying her best to live as she can, she never expects that a one night gift will lead to such a crazy future, and yet that's exactly what happens. But Tabitha knows one thing - she won't settle for anything less than love for herself and her baby.

Giannis has been through his own struggles and working through the painful memories of his past. When Tabitha unexpectedly pulls him in - he's lost in a way. But Giannis has to figure out how to proceed with their future or risk losing it all.

I loved how the author wove their painful pasts into this story and it showed how much their choices were impacted by the past.

REVIEW

One of my favorite tropes above all others is the best friend's brother/brother's best friend and this book delivered that and then some. 

Drew has had a crush on her brother's best friend, Reid since she first met him, but always knew she never stood a chance so when they unexpectedly end up at the same even and he's eyeing her without realizing who she is - she throws caution to the wind and gives in to one night of passion - Only that one night isn't enough and the truth comes out. 

Reid has known almost all of his life that he doesn't want to get married. So much so he's had a pact with his friends as such but he's the last man standing so to speak. Reid finds himself experiencing different feelings after his encounter with Drew, but still thinks he knows what he wants. The problem is, Reid's past has left him with these feelings and he's bottled that past up and kept it to himself. But as he spends more time with Drew and opens up to her is there a chance he'd take a chance on love? 

I really enjoyed the interactions between Drew and Reid during this story, from the start, it was clear they meant something to each other, though neither one could really name it up front. I liked that they could talk to one another, that there was a definite friendship among them but also clearly more. 

I really enjoyed the twists this story took, and how they helped evolve the story and left me looking forward to knowing more. This story sucked me in from the start and took me on a journey of emotions along with the characters. 



I received a copy of this book from netgalley but all thoughts and this review are mine
