A Game of Brats and Brides

by Ruby Roe

When vampires and magicians collide, even proposals become power plays...
After two years of stolen moments between cities, vampire bodyguard Dahlia is ready to make Princess Penelope officially hers. But when a romantic proposal goes delightfully off-script (thanks to one bratty princess), these two are thrust into their steamiest adventure yet.

Outstanding! Honestly, did I have any doubt? No of course not, it’s Ruby Roe! This was such an epic surprise I got in the mystery Vows and Vendettas book box! I was kicking my feet in excitement! Vows and Vendettas was a nice bonus book for us to get, combining the Girl Games and Kingdom of Immortal Lovers series together with a wedding. So to have a little extra smutilogue on top of that! Amazing!!

Written in first person with 2x POV’s. Bratty Princess, Grumpy x Sunshine, Opposite Attract, Established Couple. 2x Spicy Scenes.

I usually don't spend money on a novella, but for Ruby Roe I will. I bought several of her novellas off her website. I just can't get over these characters and the world building. I love how they are all connected in some way.

The continuation of Dahlia and Penelope was excellent. Short, but just the right amount of spice and plot. I hope that there will be a new world with them in Nefari city!

No idea this existed until scrolling through goodread! I loved the 'ending' for Dahlia and Penelope, although it would have been fun to hear more about how their relationship evolved etc. It it kept true to their characters and their relationship which was fun and it seems to lead into the next series so hopefully we'll hear more of them!
