The Royal by Susan Stoker

The Royal is the second book in the Game of Chance series written by Susan Stoker. It is loosely based on Cinderella - evil step sister and step mum making life a living hell for Juniper following the death of her father.

Step sister is set on finding a royal to marry and she has no qualms at using all tricks available. Unfortunately she's got her sights set on the wrong man. He on the other hand, has his eyes set on Juniper. 

In true Prince Charming fashion he sweeps Juniper off her feet and they start a new life together. Unfortunately the evil step mother and step sister have other plans and things turn rather dark for a while until good wins. 

I believe this book would have more depth if I had read the first book in the series, The Protector, but as this was a Netgalley pick I hadn't. I suggest you do though!

The Pucking Proposal by Lauren Landish

Pre-game rituals must be taken seriously, even when they seem completely outrageous - and indecent!  Hilariously believable.  Hockey trope. Brother's best friend. Playing to win. Pub Date: 18 Feb 2025 Part of Maple Creek series #ThePuckingProposal #NetGalley

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
