The rugged, blue-eyed, easygoing hockey player was once the love of my life. Now all David Lawson wants is revenge. Reina University's star goalie thinks I betrayed him, when he's the one who betrayed me - and destroyed my heart. I've tried to move on. But Lawson's determined to get me out of his system, one dark, depraved intensely exhilarating act at a time. I can't resist him, and not just because he's theatening to expose secrets about my brother that could ruin his life. Lawson's not the boy I knew. Between his cruel touch that sets me on fire and moments of tenderness that crumble the walls around my heart, I no longer know which way is up. All I know is I won't go down without a fight. I'll prove he's wrong about me. About everything. But even if Lawson realizes his mistake, it may be too late - because an enemy is waiting in the shadows, eager to destroy us both. Ruthless Game by Jo Brenner was published on October 11th, 2026. This is the third book in the Kings of Reina University series.
I was given this book for my honest review from Jo Brenner and The Smuthood. Before I begin, I should let you know that I did not read the previous two books in the series before I read this book. While there are some things that I didn't understand when meeting some characters, I didn't feel like it took away from the plot. I absolutely loved the main female character Emma. She is a child who grew up in the foster care system but then finally got adopted by a lovely family. I felt like some of her trust issues through the book stemmed from wanting to appease her parents through the book. I also like the main male character as he had his own baggage through the book from being a child of an abusive father. While, I felt bad for him I still thought though the book that I wanted to hate him as well. I did not like how many times Max would flip the script in how he treated Emma. I felt bad for her and wished so many times that she would just leave him. To not worry about the blackmail that Max was holding over her. Though the smut scenes in this book were spicy....many times I turned red from second hand frustration. I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait to read more by Jo Brenner.
