A captivating spicy dystopian romantasy that has The Handmaid’s Tale, Lost, and The Hunger Games vibes…all in ONE place! Blue Arrow Island was just the beginning. What was once a place created for a better way of life is slowly starting to fall apart.
Briar Hollis will do anything to find her sister…but first she must figure out how to escape the island. Now more than ever alliances must be formed, maintained, and nurtured. Will the man she’s given her heart to stay by her side, or betray her?
A battle is underway for power and who you trust is vital. With new players in this game of survival, the stakes rise daily. With every earth-shattering discovery time is running out.
As with all games it is wise to stay ahead of your opponent. There is no rule book, the team roster can change at any moment and the amount of twists, turns, and surprises will leave you on the edge of your reading chair. Just when you think they might make it off the island…it isn’t ready to let you…the reader…go. It’s time to put your survival skills to the test and hope your choices let you live to play another day. I was on the edge of my seat with all the twist and turns.
If you read your books and “see” a movie playing in your head like me…this is chef’s kiss. I would love to see this adapted to screen. Please note that book will answer some plot arcs while leaving others to be discovered in the next book! I can’t wait!
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Brenda Rothert for a gifted advance e-audio book copy and e-reader copy.

💖 Enemies to Lovers
🏒 Grumpy x Sunshine
💖 Fake Dating
🏒 Mental Health Rep
💖 Darling the pig
🏒 Birdie the dog
The last thing Leo Abbott would do is date a teammates sister and instead of saying no…he says he’s already dating someone. Let the shenanigans begin because now Leo must confess to Mara Torres what he just did.
If you enjoy hockey romance that has enemies to lovers with a fake dating plan, found family, secrets, a plot twist, and lots of interconnected characters consider this for your next read. Did I mention that our beloved Darling is back too?
For now I’ll be counting down the days until 𝐀 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 releases next month.
This slow-burn spicy romance has exploration is more explicit between characters that may include dirty talk, detailed intimate moments, or suggested desire of what they would like to do with their partner. This moment might also be expressed before, during, or after intimacy, spicy e-mails, letters, or texting. Readers can expect multiple detailed scenes or moments that leave no doubt there is a medium level of heat.

From the moment we meet Briar Hollis I was right there with her on that boat sailing to an unknown destination and all in! Determined to survive Briar must figure out which group of savages is least likely to kill her as she swims to shore.
An island filled with secrets, strangers that are ready to fight to the death, deception, angst, and so much more in a place where who you trust could be the difference between life and death. It’s a tsunami as each wave impacts the characters in a game of chess where even those who are two moves ahead of an opponent still risk defeat and possible death.
It’s time to put your survival skills to the test and hope your choices keep you alive. I was on the edge of my seat with all the twist and turns.
