Review: The Games that Break Us

The Games that Break Us The Games that Break Us by Dee Garcia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

✨A TOP READ OF 2022✨

Yes!  Yes! Yesssss!!!!!!  This book was so great!  And it ended in a freaking clifffy that has my mind all over the place!!!  Ok... so Bennie (Birdie) is in drug trafficking.... and is messing around with the boss..... but when she gets busted and brought in, she doesn't give him up at all.  Even after she finds out that he had ideas that they were onto her and he did nothing to prevent it.  

While in prison, Bennie has some heartbreaking things happen with her family that she misses out on.  She has these relationships with the other ladies in her cell block that really just give you all the feels.  She ends up starting a forbidden fling with the super hot CO Andres Bala.  Well I won't get into all the details, but I will tell you all that the sexual tension in this book in ON POINT!!!  It was SO crazy maddening!  And then of coarse the conflict had to happen and that was about ripping my heart out!  It wasn't just a conflict with Andres!  I will just say that she has another one that punched me in the gut!  

You think that this book is ending with an HEA, but it really is more like a Happy For Now.... and I am HERE FOR IT!  Bennie had such a huge amount of growth in the time she was away that I am quite intrigued to see how she handles herself in the next story!  I am afraid for her also, because I know those demons are going to be a tough one for her to fight through..... but I can not wait to see that happens!  Dee Garcia NAILED IT with this book!

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 ðŸ”Ĩ Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT ðŸ”ĨðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4ðŸ”Ĩ      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2ðŸ”Ĩ Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
