She was just supposed to be a one-night stand…

But then she became my world.

Once, I was the lead guitarist of the hit rock band, Midnight Sun. Then a tragic accident took everything from me. I can no longer play guitar, my wife left me, and the future I worked so hard for is slipping away.

All I am now is a grumpy, infamous, former rockstar.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m not in the market for a woman, especially not Jade Cantrell—who’s as beautiful and talented as she is sweet.

Then the media pounces on a story about the two of us, and suddenly we’re zipping off to a mountain retreat and writing an album together.

I can’t keep it strictly business—no matter how hard I try.

And the more I get to know her, the more I know I don’t have any hope of keeping her out of my heart.

One night will never be enough.

I'm going to keep her forever.

When the Game Breakers meet more than hearts will be broken…

They’ll claim, protect, and...maybe just rock their women's worlds.

 

Fast paced and attention grabbing! The second book in the Gamebreakers collaboration between Elise Faber and Kat Mizera dives right into the heart of the matter as rocker Royal Ewing is foisted back into the musical scene he’s been hiding from with a blast. There’s emotion, heartache, joy and love all mixed together into one delicious story. I loved his family of best friends and how they quickly included her into the mix. I wanted more history on what exactly happened between him and his band, and I wanted a bit more of a deep dive of development into their relationship as a whole, but I really enjoyed them together and the gist of their story as a whole. I can’t wait for the next book in the series!

I loved the wholesomeness of Jade and her life with her grandma. Her warmth is what made it easy for Royal to connect and let his guard down. My favorite part about Ewing was his love for his niece Frankie. They were simply adorable together.

I recommend this book as well as the previous one in the series to anyone who enjoys easy to like characters who aren’t afraid to work towards finding that forever after when it crosses their path.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

 

High octane goodness! Vale is shining bright with the character development in her Semyonov Bratva series! There’s not a huge amount of family business happening on the pages, but there’s a heartwarming connection between the siblings that is really endearing to see and lots of drama along the way as one after another falls for their forever love. It’s Milena’s turn this time and a terrifying introduction turns into true love when Cutter saves the day. His family back story is really good as well and I hope we might see a spin-off series down the road for his siblings because they have some huge stories to tell! Maybe another MC series in our future? I’m crossing my fingers!

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone that enjoys a heartwarmingly sexy series of siblings that will do anything for one another with the hint of danger always in the background due to their upbringing. Close knit and heartwarming as well as suspenseful and heartfelt. Great series!
