"This is a gorgeous read, a brilliantly plotted and well-written story, one that combines elements from different genres. I enjoyed the prose, which is descriptive and punctuated with great dialogues" - Christian Sia for Readers' Favorite "This was an amazing novel that rendered me speechless. It is a raw depiction of human nature, what we are willing to do to survive, and what some of us are ready to sacrifice to reach their goals and fulfill their dreams" - Literary Food Blog "A Good Game is not your typical romance. Soliz takes it several steps further by providing a world of intigue that is touched with science fiction, violence, and cold-blooded disregard for mankind, in a multi-dimensional way that offers something for everyone" - Francine Zane for Readers' Favorite Vision, the creator of false realities, is comprised of two groups: the innocent who are molded into a product, and those who pull the strings. Master illusionist Trent is in over his head when he meets Charlotte, a stubborn woman desperate to break free of the prim and proper life forced upon her. While she finds momentary relief from a monotonous life with him, their precious time together offers him more - hope and something worth fighting for. As the truth is revealed, they both have to make a choice that will alter both their lives. Can she forgive him for his twisted, tangled past, or is her new gilded cage where she belongs? Can he pay the price to remove his shackles, or is his prison bright enough with her by his side? As property of Vision, their futures are already written, and some see it as security - the easy path. Others find the hard road worth the risk. But, sometimes, finding yourself means walking alone. ***This book is intended for mature audiences only, due to graphic content, a bit of swearing, some alcohol abuse, a whole lot of sarcasm, and some recalled sexual memories that are strictly for character development and are in no way steamy. Consider yourself warned: A Good Game is a rollercoaster of emotions***
Jovi Soliz believes in lust at first sight, but knows love is dirty, messy, more work than romance leads readers to believe, and that happily-ever-after is for fairy tales. The truth is love is a rollercoaster and the honeymoon phase turns into real life, with all that it entails, quicker than you can say "Til death do us part." Yet, she is full of hope and dreams for that prince in shining armor who loves and accepts the fair maiden and all her quirks. More importantly, a man who knows that she's right, even when she's wrong. Don't expect cupcakes and rainbows, but people striving to find peace and dirty, messy love. When she isn't writing about futuristic worlds and that glimmer of hope, she's usually playing video games or watching Netflix with her kids. She's a sucker for YA and romance that has alpha males who don't fit in the typical alpha male box, but strive for a better life with the woman who loves his faults just as much as his strength.
