Nora and Anderson’s second chance at love will prove to be challenging because they are going back to Anderson’s home. Not knowing what challenges face them ahead, Anderson and Nora make sure that their love and trust in each other is secure and intact but life being unpredictable and at times freaking unfair will test their love for each other.
As Nora tries to adjust to royal life, she knows she has Anderson there to help her calm her insecurities but not wanting to take up much of his time as he prepares for the role that has fallen on him, she tries to deal with it. Would the people approve of Norah? Or will she be scrutinized? I appreciated Nora’s strength especially after all that she’s gone through in her short life. Get ready for some royal tea. Kara~4 Stars

“Does everyone here always do whatever you tell them?”
“If they want to keep their job, they do,” I answer, although that’s not entirely true. Half the time, I’m the one being told what to do, not the other way around.
Hips swaying, she saunters up to me, her gaze darkening. In a heartbeat, I forget everything else, my body buzzing to life. My pulse increases, a dizzying sensation consuming me, my fingers aching to reach out and touch every inch of her.
“And what about me?” She curves toward me, wrapping her hand around my tie, urging my mouth closer to hers. But there’s still too much space between us.
I want to consume her, devour her, lose myself in her to the point where I’ll no longer be able to tell where I end and she begins, our souls intertwined for all eternity, nothing about to come between us.
“What about you?”
“Do I have to do everything you tell me to?” Her tone is husky.
“Do you want to?” I chase after her kiss, but she remains out of reach, my desperation for her growing with every pounding heartbeat.
“That depends.”
“On what?”
She brings her mouth to within a whisper of mine. “On what my punishment will be if I disobey.”

10 Royally Fantastic Stars! The greatest story of the year! This book is an incredible breath of fresh air. Pulling every emotion possible from you, this terrific storyline is like no other. When this Author writes, more than a story is created; you’re pulled into the world, you feel every emotion, struggle, every single moment, every laugh, every word. To me, there’s nothing better than that, taking the journey alongside the characters you’ve cheered for, and fell for.

Oh, how I’d been waiting for more of Anderson and Nora’s story after T.K. Leigh’s first book of the duet, Royal Games. The way that Anderson and Nora fell for each other in that back, battling against their feelings to hold the other back from the pain of their life, grabbed my heart and made me almost rabid for more of their story. In Tangled Games, Anderson and Nora are engaged and off to Belmont for Anderson to fulfill his royal obligation. From the outset of the story, it’s clear that Anderson is worried over Nora’s willingness to sacrifice her life and anonymity for him. Add to that his medical condition, and there is tension in this story almost from the start. In some ways, Tangled Games reminds me of The Princess Diaries with Nora undergoing training for her new life, and in other ways, it reminds me of the Julia Stiles’s movie, The Prince and Me. All of the qualities of those movies are found in this book except that in one of those texts, there is no prince and in the other, the Prince is a secondary character to the heroine. In Tangled Games, Nora and Anderson are both important as they navigate their own issues.
Obviously, Nora must learn to negotiate this new world, and honestly, she does it with aplomb. I love that Leigh didn’t make Nora less than herself to fit into Anderson’s world. When challenged, she stands in her power, and she works to maintain her dignity in the face of the difficulties of this world. She continues to nurture, she continues to maintain a semblance of independence, and she remains beautiful to the core. Nora is my favorite character in Tangled Games because she is the definition of unconditional love which is a contrast to her characterization in Royal Games. It’s clear that the love of Anderson has deepened something in her.
Anderson continues to be his usual stalwart self except his challenge lies in confronting the rules of his kingdom along with the difficulties of his illness. As he juggles these problems, he still madly loves Nora, which provides the ease of Tangled Games. Without that decided adoration, this book would a difficult pill to swallow in its angst.
However, at its foundation, what makes this book its most beautiful is the love of the female friends. Even as you venture into the bonus epilogue for Tangled Games, Leigh has stayed true the gravity of the friend relationship between Nora, Chloe. Izzy, and Evie. That layer adds more protection for the reader to endure the tangle of Anderson and Nora’s story.
If I had one criticism, it would be, that in the midst of their troubles, Anderson’s response to his child, doesn’t align with his character. As we find in so many romances, the hero and heroine split up for a time as a rallying cry to find a solution or a better ending for the couple. In this book, his response to her carrying his child in their separation feels contradictory to his morality in a way. It’s really quite minor and does nothing to undermine the beauty and decadence of their story.
In the end, Tangled Games is the royal romance you should be reading today. Right now. I think Harry and Meghan would approve.

I binge-read Royal Games (Dating Games #4) by T.k. Leigh before I read Tangled Games (Dating Games #5). Both books are part of the Dating Games series of interconnected standalones. Tangled Games is a standalone, but I would highly recommend you read Royal Games first, in order to truly appreciate Tangled Games.
In Royal Games, Nora meets Anderson, both of whom are separately on a self-care road trip across Route 66. Nora needs to heal her broken heart and find herself again. Anderson, a Crown Prince next in line to the throne, needs a physical and mental break from his royal duties on the path to becoming the King of his country. Skeletons of their pasts become a tangled web of emotional obstacles. Nora and Anderson's road trip is truly a journey of the heart and soul.

In Tangled Games, Nora and Anderson embark on life-changing adventure. When Nora first met Anderson, he was just a regular guy. Nora has to navigate her life with "both" Andersons - the Crown Prince and the ordinary guy she fell in love with on the road. Nora gets to experience life in the royal limelight, and being the significant other of a Prince isn't always a fairytale. Tangled Web is about Nora and Anderson's path to finding forgiveness, redemption, and happiness.
The Dating Games series is unputdownable. Royal Games and Tangled Games are romance lovers gold. If you like angst, heart, and heat, this book series is for you. One click both books now. I would one-click the entire Dating Games series.

This book, oh man oh man this book. I have made it no secret that a) I LOVE this author and everything she writes is fantastic and b) Royal Games which is Nora and Anderson's first book holds a very special place in my heart. In the first book they have obstacles and trials to go through and their love persevered. I knew going into this one that my heart was going to be put through the blender because of the amount of space these two characters have taken up in my heart and well lets be honest, Ms. Leigh is famous for taking your emotions on a rollercoaster and boy does she deliver. I honestly can't say enough about this book or this series to be honest. I highly recommend them!!

5 stars is just not enough to show just how truly amazing this story is!
I have been so in love with Nora and Anderson’s story and was so happy to see Nora finally find her HEA. To get another book of her journey was so exciting for me! I started the boom the second it hit my kindle!
It’s so hard to word everything I would love to say about this book! I don’t want to give anything away because experiencing the love between these two s a must! Their love is beyond anything I have read! The emotions Leigh brings out in her writing can not be denied and they drip off the pages in this one! I was an emotional mess at the end but in the best way possible!
I am so happy she wrote another book for these two and even more excited I got to “see” the girls!
These books were my first by Leigh and have made me a fan of hers for life!

Great second story of Anderson and Nora
September 24, 2021
3.5 stars. While I still like Anderson and Nora I didn’t love how they struggled with the Royal elements. It was interesting to hear about the background of what might go on and I’m glad they showed they were a strong couple. It just didn’t have as much pizazz as the others books in the series.

I loved everything about this book. EVERYTHING. Honestly, royal romances usually aren't my jam, but whatever TK writes, I read. It's as simple as that. And Anderson and Nora are just freaking AMAZING together!! Ahh, I want to go back and read this again for the first time!
This is a continuation of Anderson and Nora's love story, and although you don't necessarily HAVE to read Royal Games, ya'll still should. Ok scratch that, you need to read Royal Games before starting this one. Just trust me, ok?
I can't imagine being in Nora's shoes and leaving everything behind: my friends, my family, my country, in order to be with the one I love. Not only does she have to acclimate to a new country, and especially to one where most people hate her right off the bat, as well as dealing with the royal family and all the complexities that follows, but she's also trying to correlate the Anderson that she fell in love with during their ROUTE 66 trip, and Prince Gabriel, who she doesn't know at all. It also doesn't help that They rarely ever find time to be just themselves at first. Whenever they try to reconnect/reset their relationship, other factors always pulls them in different directions. I truly felt for Nora here, especially all she has gone through prior to this (which is why you do need to read the other book ya'll!) she is a fierce bitch and I love her oh so much.
Honestly, I was kind of mad at Anderson for a while. He should have done more to ready her for all the challenges she was about to face in my opinion, and he should have protected her more. Though I do understand he literally had the weight of his world on his shoulders, and he did what he thought was right regarding Nora. And you can tell that his love for her never once wavered, even with all they went through. If anything it only go stronger, and dammit if that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. I just love these two so freaking much.
I honestly can't put into words just how magical and beautiful this book, really these two books are. TK is an excellent writer, and it just goes to show just how talented she is for writing very two different books, but still having it all come full circle in the love our characters had for one another. I'm honestly tearing up even now! Just do me a favor and go one click this now!!
It's also easy to see the similarities between our characters and a certain royal couple who has famously broken away from the royal life, but I promise you this book stands on its own so beautifully. I just can't recommend this book enough!

And you can tell that his love for her never once wavered, even with all they went through. If anything it only go stronger, and dammit if that doesn't bring tears to my eyes. I just love these two so freaking much.
I honestly can't put into words just how magical and beautiful this book, really these two books are. TK is an excellent writer, and it just goes to show just how talented she is for writing very two different books, but still having it all come full circle in the love our characters had for one another. I'm honestly tearing up even now! Just do me a favor and go one click this now!!
It's also easy to see the similarities between our characters and a certain royal couple who has famously broken away from the royal life, but I promise you this book stands on its own so beautifully. I just can't recommend this book enough!

Oh Sweet Crown Prince! This story tore me apart and then put me back together in a giant red bow. What a great story. I loved Nora and Anderson right off the bat when I read Royal Games and this story only solidified my feelings for these characters even more.
Nora and Anderson are engaged and expecting! Which should be the happiest time of their lives and in the beginning it is. Until she is thrust into his world, a world full of rules and privilege but also full of scrutiny and a lot of pretending in front of the media. As she enters Belmont, the reality of her situation and what’s expected of her comes crashing down on her. Long gone is the carefree, happy bubble they lived in when traveling Route 66. Will she be able to live up to Belmont and the world’s expectations as the Crown Prince’s fiancée?
Anderson is torn between love for his country and love for the woman who is his everything. When they begin their new life in Belmont, it seems that by breaking a few rules, things might just work out especially after Belmont and the world falls in love with Nora and are rooting for them. But there are schemers planning their demise and in the wake of a terrible scandal, will Nora be sacrificed to save the future king? Or will Anders give up everything for the woman he loves?
This story had me laughing, bawling, swooning and I loved every minute of it. I couldn’t read it fast enough. But I also didn’t want it to end. Nora and Anders stole my heart. I loved immersing myself into this world. The life of a princess is not easy, but Nora made it work for a while and when she confronted the Queen Mother, I hooted and hollered for her. It was so freaking good. Anderson is faced with many hard decisions and you can feel his pain throughout the story. With some help from a surprising source, his decision is made abundantly clear and he runs down the path he needs to take.
I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read it but the story takes on some rather unexpected turns, certain enemies become allies and the ending was SUPERB!! I loved it. Job well done. Bring on the next one. I have a feeling Creed and Esme will have an amazing story to tell.

I knew this book was going to piss me off. Ahhhh ok Breathe ..Where to start with no spoilers. I think Anderson & Nora where a little naive about going to his home country. Hes a prince next in throne to rule. Your life is no longer yours. No more staying in bed , no go anywhere alone. The Paps , The people its a cruel cruel world.
Nora has had a rude awaking once she stepped off that plane. The love and Hate from his country. Her majesty the queen WOW I wanted to throttle her and what Nora does to her omg hysterical ..
I love Esme and her friends Marius, Harri, Jasper, Maggie, Cody,Harriet & Penny lol fun group of lads but these names all I could think of is Twilight and that makes me sick I know their names. lol
Oh her date with The Prince HOT HOT HOT...
Noras Mother I hope she burns in Hell I hate her.
"I believe in having a good heart, a chirpy penis ,a lively intelligence, and the courage to shit in front of a lady."
"You sure know the way to a woman's heart. Books and the promise of sex? What did I hit the jackpot?"
"If this year has taught me anything, it's that you'll always be by my side. As long as you promise to stay true to that, we'll get through whatever awaits us."
"Every day I wake up with you in my life feels like the morning after we first met. I still experience the same excitement. The same wonder. The same... Hope."
"With great power comes great purpose."
"They can try to tear us apart all they want. But even when you try to smash a compass to pieces, do you know what happens?""It will still point north"
"It would be a real shame to put one of my vibrator to use when I have a perfectly good fiance. I'd have to ask the butler if he has a charging adaptor for Mr. Rolls."

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
Every girl dreams of becoming a princess. But this is no fairy tale.
When I met Anderson North, I fell in love with the man, not the title. With his heart, not the crown. But as I step foot in the Nation of Belmont for the first time as the Crown Prince's fiancée, I'm reminded of exactly who he is outside of the bubble we built around ourselves. I'm reminded of exactly who I'll need to become if I'm to survive this tangled we of antiquated rules, constant media attention, and negative publicity from a country that hates the idea of an American marrying their future king. This may be a life of privilege and excess, but I soon learn that with notoriety comes jealousy. With fame comes enemies. With a crown comes a gilded cage. I've always dreamed of finding my happily ever after. I didn't realize ours would come at a price.
I will go ahead and warn you that this book is one heck of emotional rollercoaster and you just might find yourself crying one minute and mad at the world the next. However, don't throw your kindle. It is precious to you and this book will come to be one of the best ones that you have read in quiet a while. This is the story of Nora and Anderson. He is the crowned prince of his country and next in line to rule. These two are amazing together but he is a prince and she is just and American girl and his country's people are a little less that thrilled that he is now engaged to an American. Going home is never easy but imagine going home as a engaged prince, people are not thrilled, there are a ton of rules to follow, paps following you all over the place and invading your lives in ways you never imagined, a queen who is not your biggest fan, and no privacy what so ever. There is a lot that goes on in this book and your going to either fall head over heels for these characters, some your going to not like and others your just going to want to punch in the throat as hard as you can. This book will also keep you on your toes. Having a fit. And most of all loving every second of it. Just grab your favorite drink and dive in. I loved it and you guys will too.

OVERALL RATING –5 stars
RECOMMENDED FOR: those that like a bit of angst and drama before the Happily Ever After
First my usual points:
- I do not do spoilers unless warned.
- Read the summary above; it will tell you what the book is about. I will not reiterate.
- This is a bit of standalone but the last of a series and definitely more of a conclusion from the prior book.
- No errors that I caught as far as editing.
- The author was not new to me
BOOK:
- Contemporary romance/slight fairy tale overtones
- 1st person with dual POV
Other characters from the series:
-- other characters from the series make appearances with slight involvement of a supporting, move the story along
-- main characters' story is concluded
Star Ratings - 1 (poor) - 5(READ THIS BOOK)
· Writing Quality (book detailed enough/too much detail: 5 stars with just enough detail
· Story ingredient (word flow, witty banter, memorable, etc): 5 stars
· Ease of reading/Pace: 5 stars
· Plot strength (logical/fun/ unreal/easy/confusing): 5 stars as a fun, what-if
· Steam Level (MF / dirty talk/romantic/closed door): M/F, dirty talk with romance
· Uniqueness Factor: 5 stars
Notes/Opinion (personal)
I read Royal Games when it came out having not read any of the prior 'Games' books and not having read this author before. I was pleasantly surprised. In Royal Games, we met two flawed characters being held back by their very different experiences but also finding a common ground in those differences. Tangles Games is a continuation of Anderson and Norah's story when they find themselves back in real life versus "vacation life".
Probably the one thing I did not care for in this book was some 'similarities' (for lack of a better term) to a real-life royal who married an American (and frankly, who I am very tired of hearing about their 'victimization').
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book to review and I am so thankful for the opportunity!
This book was SO GOOD! Let me start off by saying, you need to make sure you've read the book before this one (Royal Games) otherwise you'll be so sad! This book is actually the last book of the Dating Game Series so I am so sad to see it end, but excited for the next book that will be coming!
This book focuses on Prince Gabriel and Nora and ultimately how much their relationship will be able to withstand. Nora is swept away into a life that she never could've imagined, that little girls dream about being the epitome of a fairy tale, but reality doesn't always end up like fairy tales. There's a lot of responsibility and pressure that comes with being in the public eye and Nora isn't sure if she can handle all that will come with it, even if she loves her Prince.
Prince Gabriel knows that life is about to get way more complicated, for his relationship and himself. He knows that he loves Nora more than anything, but he's not sure she's going to be able to manage this life and becoming King is the only thing he's thought about in years. He has the responsibility of the people of Belmont on his mind, as well as the weight of responsibility on his body. While Gabriel was feeling strong on the road, the reality of life as next in line for the throne has taken a toll on his body and his state of mind.
There were so many moments in this book I was so excited and so convinced this couple could make it through anything. Then there were other moments in this book where the angst was so strong and the heartbreak was so apparent, I had no idea how the story was ultimately going to end.
Overall, this is a story about love and strength and survival and sacrifice. Their love could be one of those loves, a story for the ages, if they can make it through the biggest battle to come!
Hope you'll take a chance on this story, I am so glad I did!

TANGLED GAMES is the #6 book in the DATING GAMES series and the sequel to ROYAL GAMES #5. You will definitely want to read ROYAL GAMES first to enjoy the complete story of Nora and Anders. You do not need to read the All 6 books in the series but take it from me, the DATING GAMES Series is T.K. Leigh’s most intriguing Rom~Com to date!!! As in..... IF I could give it TEN 🌟I would.....💫💫💫💫💫
TANGLED GAMES continues the emotional and gut wrenching love story of Anders (Prince Gabriel) and Nora (the Modern day Cinderella).
Their romance began when they met on a cross country road trip along Route 66. But now they must leave their little bubble as Anders takes Nora to his country of Belmont in order to fulfill his Royal Duties. Only to come to the realization of his unsupportive Royal family, as well as, a less than thrilled country of his American Fiancé. As Anders/Prince Gabriel prepares as the next inline to rule Belmont, Nora must navigate the challenges and significant changes in both their lives.
Can Nora really have the fairytale life like in Cinderella? Or, as in the strategic game of chess, will she have to make the hard decision to Sacrifice the Queen (herself) to protect the King (Prince Gabriel)?
NO SPOILERS HERE!!! You’re going to want to read TANGLED GAMES to find out. But, I can tell you, the conclusion to Nora & Prince Gabriel’s love story is the most touching and emotional read EVER 💕💔💞
As always T. K. Has a way of pulling you in on a Roller Coaster ride of extreme emotions......
ROYAL GAMES and especially TANGLE GAMES had me chuckling into a full laugh 😂, swearing & screaming in my head 🤬, and crying till I down right Balled my eyes out 😭😭!!!! I mean, how can you not want all that from a story❣️❣️
I received an ARC of TANGLED GAMES for an honest review and always purchase my own copy after reading!!!
LASTLY.... To T.K. Leigh, BRAVO 🙌..... BRAVO 🙌🙌...... life would not be the same without your awesomeness in writing the most creative Rom~Coms ❣️

Ahh!! I so loved Nora and Anderson's story! I totally fell in love with them in Royal Games and I was SO excited to see there was more to their story.
T.K. is just a master at writing complex, emotion filled books that literally pull me right into the story. I couldn't imagine being Nora, leaving everything and everyone I knew to be a Princess in a foreign land. How would she be received in her new country? Would the people of Belmont love her or hate her?
T.K. really does a great job of detailing for her readers, the struggles and challenges that go along with being a Royal, no matter what country it is. So many times when Nora and Anderson just wanted to spend time together to recharge and reconnect, forces outside of their control kept them running in two different directions. Not to mention the parties inside the royal household that were working overtime to keep them apart. And Nora is quickly realizing there are two very different sides of Anderson: the side he's shown her for the past year, and the "Prince Gabriel" side which she doesn't know at all.
Emotions galore run through this story!! I laughed, I teared up, I got frustrated, and super angry, and felt hopeless, then optimistic again, and finally lots of happy tears! Nora and Anderson's story really has it all. If you've been following this series, you will be super happy to see the whole gang show up here and there in the story. If you're just starting out with Nora and Anderson's story, I'm hoping it will be the catalyst that gets you running back to the very beginning with Dating Games and bingeing this whole series!
Even though this is the last book in the Dating Games series, I am so happy to see that T.K. plans to take us in a new direction with a spinoff series later on. I can't wait!

Oh man oh man I was so excited when this book was announced because we were finally getting to see what happens to Nora and Anderson and where their story goes. We left off in the first book with kind of like a cliffhanger I want to say but now we get to see where this is so Nora and Anderson are engaged if you haven't read royale games make sure to go read this book before you start with single games because they of course do coincide with each other and it gives you their story leading up to this one. I don't want to give so much away because of the fact that these books really do go together and if you like fully speak on everything it gives away the storyline. I love Nora I love that she is a strong woman and it really stands up for what she wants and what she believes in just because she has had such a rough past you are rooting for her and want her to have her happy ending because she does fully deserve that. Anderson has a past as we all do but his past has made him into the person that he is and he wants to do better and he wants to do better I think by Nora. I had a few gasping moments in this book and I didn't quite know where it was going to turn to but I have to say I'm so happy with how this turned out I think T.K. Leigh killed it with this series and with these two books in particular they are literally some of my absolute favorites. I 1000% recommend this book you will fall in love with Nora and Anderson and their story and I'm really sad that it has come to an end but I know for sure that everyone will love these books.
I would like to thank Booksprout and T.K. Leigh for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review

It's every little girl's dream to marry a prince and live happily ever after. When Nora met Anderson and they travelled route 66 together she never saw him as a prince, just the man she fell in love with. But once Anderson proposes to her it changes everything she has ever known.
When they move to Belmont so that Anderson can resume his royal duties, Nora is willing to follow her man dreaming of a happy future with him. Though I was excited for both of them, I thought that they were looking at what their life would be through rose tinted glasses and unfortunately the reality of how their life was going to be was brought home to both of them very quickly and it was not a pretty picture.
Tangled Games is superb, but so heartbreaking as we watch Nora and Anderson's love for each other being strongly tested by forces working against them in the palace. The story is realistic based on what we know of royal lives, and how those close to the throne are ruled by ancient traditions with no room for compromise. Even though Nora brings a breath of fresh air to the palace it is not enough to blow away the dusty rules and the way she is treated and insulted by the family and the courtiers is downright mean. Anderson does his best to love her and support her which leads to some hot and spicy encounters in and out of the bedroom, but he can't fight the system.
It is great to visit with familiar characters including Nora's girlfriends Chloe, Izzy and Evie and Anderson's sister Esme who appear in the story to give advice, lend support, and be normal people having fun in real life and they provide a contrast to the stuffy courtiers.
I was so looking forward to reading the second part of this love story and Ms Leigh did not disappoint. I was unable to put it down, but recommend reading Royal Games first before you dive into Tangled Games.

Holy crap on a cracker! The rollercoaster this book took me on just about killed me. It’s cliche to say this story had “all the feels” but it seriously did. As I write this, my heart is still racing.
I don’t think I can write this review spoiler free but I will try.
Nora and Anderson’s story continues in Tangled Games, where just a few chapters in, they begin their life in Belmont.
As in Royal games, Nora and Anderson’s witty banter and flirtatious chemistry is off the charts. Some of their interactions and cultural differences made me literally LOL. (IE definitions of British slang explained.)
Back to the plot line of this book. Being away from her home, Nora has to navigate this new world with royalty. Meanwhile, Anderson has to learn how to balance his duties as Prince Gabriel and as Nora’s fiancé.
Seriously, when I say rollercoaster of emotions, I mean it. This book gave me palpitations and a headache from bouncing back and forth between joy and grief over and over again. My heart felt EVERYTHING Nora and Anderson did. I don’t know if I’ve EVER gotten this emotionally involved in a pair of characters like I did with this seemly broken beyond repair couple.
I had such whiplash from this book and it definitely needs to have a warning label. But the end was satisfactory and I’m glad I powered through when I wanted to quit. That epilogue made all the drama and heart attack worth it/
Be prepared for your soul to be ripped out of your body when you read this one!

"Tangled Games" Absolutely Awesome
I am so glad that T.K. decided to give them, Anderson aka Gabriel Anderson Joseph Xavier Wellingston aka Prince Gabriel and Nora another journey together.

Tangled Games is Pure Perfection! I love T.K.'s books, but this series has nestled deep in my heart. The friendships between these ladies as they each find their future and yet stay true to themselves is heartwarming. They always make room for each other and have each other's backs. I'm sad to see this series end, I will miss them.
This book is the last and picks up right where Royal Games left off. Nora and Anderson (Anders), AKA Prince Gabriel arrive in his country of Belmont to announce their engagement. The Royal family is not happy with Ander's choice for his wife. They think the country will not welcome an American as a Queen and there is an upcoming referendum vote on keeping the monarchy.
Nora and Anders love each other so much but there are forces trying to pull them apart. I could feel the chemistry and genuine friendship and respect they had for each other. But sometimes that isn't enough. When one gives up everything and the other nothing, hurt feelings emerge. Self worth is doubted. Paparazzi can be cruel. Family even crueler. My heart broke for these two lovers, more for Nora but also for Anders. Finally Anders remembered, "If you can paint, I can walk."
The ending and Epilogue were all I could have wanted! Anders and Nora and Pickle are my favorites!!! This book is worth 10 STARS!!!

I can say with sincere honesty that there hasn't been a book that T.K. Leigh has written that I haven't loved so very hard so I'm always excited about every last new release. I've also really loved the Dating Games series a ton, but I'll be honest and say that Tangled Games is my favorite so I guess she saved the best for last. It's the conclusion to Anderson & Nora's story so before you can take this one on, YOU MUST READ Royal Games FIRST! These two have fallen in love (they're super hot together) & want to spend the rest of their lives together, but they have a big obstacle in front of them, asking the King (his father) for permission. Unfortunately, the paps got wind of the engagement before he could see his father, so things were already dicey by the time they landed in his country. You already know that palace intrigue will be a field of landmines in every direction, which not only had my BP up, but the pain Nora felt nearly brought me to my knees (the angst was crazy intense). If that's not enough, there's still Anderson's health issues so there are all kinds of questions up in the air, while these two didn't get much time together. Will they be able to get through it for their own royal happily ever after?! You know what to do to find out! I CANNOT WAIT for Esme's story next & HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

This is the final book in the Dating Games series. It’s also Nora and Anderson’s story.
I wish I could give this book more than five stars. I haven’t devoured a book like that in a long time.
Nora and Anderson are engaged and moving back to Belgan where they will now be Queen Nora and King Gabriel but first Nora has to be accepted by the Royal Family. They aren’t even off the plane yet and have already broken one of the Royal Family rules.
The Queen automatically doesn’t like Nora and this makes things hard on Anderson and Nora but it’s really up to the King to give his blessing over the wedding.
Nora has to go through a tremendous amount of formal training because it’s obvious she’s not fit for royalty. Is she up to it? Does the Royal family put so much pressure on her she gives up and runs away?
Price Gabriel also has a lot of pressure put on him, not only for bringing home an American girl, but one with no formal training. Can the two manage to get past it all? This doesn’t even count for the fact the Prince Gabriel’s country is torn between having an unfit “American” for their Queen.
Can Nora and Anderson overcome all the obstacles placed before them and make it work or do they call it quits? Bring your Kleenex.

I always get this build-up of anxiety before reading a new T.K. Leigh story, and then when I finish, it's like this huge sigh of contentment washes over me. I'm always like, wow, she's done it again.
You can never go wrong with one of T.K.'s stories, and Tangled Games is the perfect addition to the Dating Games series. This series has been one of my favorites to read, and Nora and Anderson's epic conclusion will fill your heart with love, but not before overcoming a few obstacles. These two compliment each other so well, and it's no surprise at how emotional this story becomes. In true T.K. Leigh form, you get so vested in her characters, that the highs and lows will literally rip your heart to pieces. Living Royally isn't so easy for Nora, but Anderson is truly her Prince Charming and the love that is shared between them is priceless.
Fans of Leigh will adore the journey she takes her readers on in Tangled Games, and for those who are just reading her for the first time will quickly discover they've been missing out an an amazing storyteller. This is what a great story is all about and I'm so glad to have spent this time with two very deserving characters. Nora and Anderson will always have my heart!

Tangled Games is the second part of Anders and Nora's love story. Tangled Games is the beautiful ending of the journey that started on Route 66 in Royal Games when a chance meeting begins the tangling of lives.
The life that Nora and Anders has enjoyed is about to come to an end. All it takes is the plane landing in the small country of Belmont. Anders must now become Prince Gabriel. Nora is now the future Princess. Protocols change everything. Protocols can destroy everything.
Tangled Games is a story of love and devotion. A story of strength and determination. A story of good vs evil. Will Tangled Games be a story with a happily ever after? How happy will the ending be?
Tangled Games was an off the charts emotional romance. At times the story made me very happy, pure bliss. At times the story cut right through me. I was gutted. T.K. Leigh made me cry. I bawled like a baby. It was AWESOME!!! I was so invested in the characters. The author put into words what usually only affects me when I watch a movie on the big screen.
Royal Games and Tangled Games have jumped up to the top of my re-read list. The author created a duet that has characters I can identify with. The author has created a story line I was sucked into. The author created story that I became completely invested in. The author ended the story with me counting down the days until Royal Creed.

Well no surprise T.K. Leigh has done it again, locked me in from page one, be ready for an emotional rollercoaster... And writing a review without spoilers is really difficult when every page keeps you on your toes.
Nora always tried to be centered and focused while being supportive and positive which is proving to be more and more difficult while she navigates her new life with Anderson... I mean “Prince Gabriel”. After some big ups and downs Nora and Anderson are finally finding themselves as this public couple and realizing everything is going to be already.
Of course this is the part where T.K throws in those BIG Wrenches and makes you second guess everything you’ve learned and loved about this couple. Thinking there’s no other way to have an outcome that benefits them both and Anderson’s Country they do what we knew was coming but didn’t want to admit was going to happen... the queen is Sacrificed and how do you come back from that.... by sacrificing but to what degree... What we do for love is amazing and even with all their ups and downs I absolutely love Nora and Anderson Chemistry and flirtatious banter which continues into this book.
