Book Review for Twisted Little Game by Raleigh Ruebins

TWISTED LITTLE GAME

Raleigh Ruebins

Release Date: September 24 

Blurb:

My stalker is a problem… but my bodyguard is a monster.

I never asked for Roman Petrov.

I made one mistake, got threats on my life, and now my brother hires me a bodyguard?

Roman is six-foot-five, pure muscle, and a gorgeous, scowling face.

I break a few of his rules on my first night of his protection.

Provoke him, 'til he pins me to the wall.

And something explodes between us when he lays his hands on me.

Our size difference sparks a pure physical addiction.

His two rules:

His family runs the mob… but we don’t talk about it.

And he’s usually 100% straight… but completely obsessed with me.

I can take a man who’s taller and bigger in every way.

As threats escalate, Roman demands I stay in his room, closer than ever.

When I’m attacked on campus, Roman’s unhinged, vowing to destroy anyone who hurts me.

He’s the heir to a powerful Bratva crime family, and war with the mafia is erupting now, too.

I know I’m in danger.

Lines blur between who I can or can’t trust.

But I have Roman close to me. And I believe it when he says I’m his.

Roman and Tate's story was just an okay read for me. I liked the characters enough, but something was missing; I just can't put my finger on it. Maybe not enough intrigue to grab my attention. I did like the characters, but I never fell in love with any of them, and I can say we never saw those twists coming. Tate and Roman are complete opposites: Tate, the lightbringer, and Roman, the darkness, but Tate's light brings changes in Roman never seen before, and I felt Tate's goodness and light rubbed off on everyone around him. The chemistry between Roman and Tate was off the charts. I like it when you see a dark, dangerous character fall hard and fast and realize they can have a softer side when they meet the right person. Roman never expects Tate, and vice versa; their chemistry and connection were just too hard to fight. After all that death and destruction that had been part of Roman's life for a long time, it was heartwarming to see him find some peace and be truly happy, something that had never been part of his old life.

Author Raleigh Ruebins:

I was hired to steal something, not someone.

But that changes when I see her, asleep in her cushy marital bed.

We live in the same town but our worlds couldn’t be more different.

So I insert myself in hers by getting a job working directly under her.

Seeing her every day isn’t enough. I want her nights, too. I want her everything, including the secrets she refuses to share.

I don’t care what I have to do or who I have to take on, she will be mine.

Just when I think I have her, I find out she’s not who she pretends to be. Not at all.

And those secrets I said I wanted…

They’re bigger than the ones I’ve been keeping from her.
