“A Game of Hearts and Heists” follows Scarlett Grey, an assassin who’s fallen to ruin, and Quinn Adams, a medic-turned-poisoner. This dark fantasy romance follows these two enemies as they’re forced to work together and ignore their sexual attraction… Until they don’t. But how are you supposed to work alongside someone you don’t trust? Specially when there is so much at stake.
Ah, the sweetness of enemies to lovers in a fantasy world. Fantasy is one of my favorite genres, yet this is my first fantasy read of 2023—and I am so glad this was it. With dual POV, this sadistic story is told beautifully. Ruby Roe has portrayed the most tormented characters and I was there for it. With so many twists and turns, this book will tempt you to read it in one sitting.
I would recommend this read if you’re into dark fantasy romance or are just looking for a unique sapphic story to read. So, grab this steamy romance and see for yourself how enemies can love better than any common lover.
