A Game We Both Play

by Bell Landers

"He learned winning wasn't everything. She taught him what it meant to fight for something real."

Ben Easton never had to work for anyone’s attention. That is, until Harper. She looks at him like he’s the last person she wants near her, but he couldn’t stay away. Not when she’s fire and fight and strength wrapped in one girl who refuses to let him in. He’s trying to prove he isn’t the version she believes, whether that means stepping in when guys push too far at parties or breaking down every wall she builds between them.

When Harper, a hard-of-hearing college student, is convinced star hockey player Ben Easton wronged her, she vows to stay far away. But one night, Ben shatters the image she’s built of him by stepping in to protect her. With walls and reputations on the line, Harper has to decide if trusting Ben is worth the risk, while Ben is determined to prove he’s more than the mistake she thinks he is.

Intended for mature audiences, A Game We Both Play is a BDSM novella romance showing you that every game has rules and breaking them changes everything.

120 pages, Kindle Edition

If YOU 🫵 are looking for:

🤍Prey x Primal
🤍Protective MMC
🤍College + Hockey
🤍Disability rep (hard of hearing/hearing aids)
🤍Dual POV
🤍Hurt/Comfort
🤍Exhibitionist/BD$M 🫣
🤍Did I mention the the MMC is a virgin?!!
🤍Interconnected standalone

I’m on my knees okay? I never in a million books thought that my boy Connor could be replaced by another brother, including Nick. But baby Ben? 😮‍💨 THATS MY MANS 🫵🫵 Baby boy is feral for his girl in all the good ways. I love him!! (Even tho I severely had my doubts about him prior)(iykyk)
Harper is a precious little bean and I also love her so much. Once again Bells delivers on disability rep that I always feel is so lacking in books! Big smooches 🫶🏻

I can’t believe the Easton Brothers novellas have come to a finish 🥲 but what a bang to go out on!!

ARC REVIEW ✨️

The final Easton brother story.

Bell went out with a bang in this book. I love how all her books is portraits a disability.

Ben and Harper has a huge crash on eachother, yet we have to suffer a little no communication due to Harper filling out the blanks...
But once the issue is out of the picture, you fell in love with them.
Ben being the caring, supportive boyfriend and Harper bringing out a side of Ben, he didn't know he had in him.

And that's where it all begins, them absolutely belonging to eachother.

Perfect endig for the series

DAMN BEN!!
Wow I didn’t think another brother could hold a candle to my favourite Nick but ummm hello Ben! I hate to say it but I think Ben is my new favourite. The spice, desire, primal/ prey hunt of MMC Ben had me 🥵.

Im sad that this is the final Easton brother story but what a story to end on! I have absolutely loved all of the Easton brothers stories and hope that author Bell Landers will give us little updates on how they are doing ( pretty please)!

I received this story as an ARC and I am freely giving my honest review.

Right.


You need to read these books. More than anything.

These brothers.

These girls.

They are so so relatable. You feel every single emotion in these books. You sympathise with the characters.

I love love this family so much!!

The ending to the brother stories are just perfect. You have to read these books.

Ben is just adorable and has met his match with Harper.

Again. Read. These. Books.

With A Game We Both Play, Bell gives us a wonderful finale to what is a well written and truly entertaining series. Laughter, moving moments, and of course the spice scenes all make for yet another enjoyable read. With all the brothers weaving throughout to connect the storylines. Well done!!

I finished this baby in one day, mainly because I just didn’t want to put it down. Another great book added to the amazing Easton brothers! Ben and Harper’s story starts out rocky but oh does it end so beautifully. Be sure to go and get you a copy of this one!

Bell Landers did a phenomenal job on this book!! I have loved every single one of the Easton brothers, but I think Ben may have been my absolute favorite!! Him and Harper were absolutely incredible!

I am sooooo sad it's over now. I loved this just as much as all the others! I feel like 5 more brothers would have been great 🥲😂

Gosh Ben is so great!!!!!
