Hostile Game by Becca Steele
$4.99
BLURB:
From USA Today and WSJ bestselling author, Becca Steele, comes an all-new M/F standalone enemies to lovers college hockey romance.
As the daughter of the head of the Thorpe Syndicate, my life was decided for me from the beginning. I was expected to look a certain way. Act a certain way. To put the syndicate above my own desires. To marry the son of the head of another crime family in a deal brokered by my father.
The night my arranged betrothal was announced was when everything changed.
My brother’s best friend chased me into the woods and stole my first kiss.
Now, my engagement is drawing closer. I’m doing my best to survive one day at a time, keeping my head down while I attend classes at Cranham University, a former Victorian prison and home of the Cranham Kings hockey team.
But he’s there, a constant reminder of what happened in the woods. His hateful gaze tracks me in the hallways and the lecture halls. I loathe him. Yet when he’s flying across the ice with his teammates, I can’t help but notice him.
And the way he makes me feel? That’s a secret I’ll take to the grave.
Tensions are rising. Something is brewing, and my family risks being caught up in it all. I don’t know who I can trust, and as for Jay?
He’s a complication I can’t afford, because the consequences would be devastating for us all.
Hostile Game is part of Cranham Kings, a college hockey romance series of M/F and M/M interconnected standalones. Please note that this series contains darker themes.

MY REVIEW: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ / 🔥🔥🔥
Great start to a new series…
Who can resist a forbidden love / brother’s best friend type of love story? Let’s not forget the whole enemies-to-lovers and arranged marriage to someone else aspect of it all.
Nova is all set to fulfill her family obligations of marrying for the sake of alliances because that’s just how things go in their mafia-family world. And Jay has accepted the fact that the girl he wants is destined to marry someone else so he does what he has to in order to push her away. But as the deadline gets closer they both begin to question the situation and what can’t be. They can only fight their feelings for so long before their passion ignites.
Not all is as it seems and danger is right around the corner. They have to figure out who they can trust and what they’re willing to do to get what they really want. And then along comes a twist to throw things into chaos.
This is a great start to a new series. I can’t wait to dive more into this world of mafia families, college rivalries, and hockey hotties. Bring on the next one!
