Ya know what Brenner's books do? They make me question myself. 🤣 Honestly, why am I so fascinated by these stories that ABSOLUTELY would never work in real life? Hot af, though. 😏 I wasn't sure how Tovah and Isaac were going to work based on how they left off in Jack and Aviva's book, but they sure did. Heartless Game was dark, twisted, and absolutely a delight to read. I finished it in less than a day. 🥳

I love it when an author allows their MCs to be equally intense. I mean, we understand the "traditional" grumpy/sunshine trope, but Rose added a lot of nuance to Sage and Beau's reactions to the world around them, which made their personalities more relatable. I whined about the grovel in book two, but it was more than made up for in this one. 😍 I also love that Rose is not afraid to incorporate battery-operated assistants into her stories.🥵 I really loved this one, and I can't wait for book 4 and the couple that will be highlighted! And yes, I know who they will be, and Rose should be releasing that information wide sometime in May. 🥳🥳
