Not a fanI read Guild a year or two back and I've got to admit didn't fully fall in love with that book I felt it was trying to do too much and I just couldn't connect with Orin who was the main character

Gild (2020)
Others: Mixed Gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Even me. King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I’m called his precious. His favored. I’m the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged, and I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong. Because these bars I’m kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I’d never left.

Others: MixedKing Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His. The thing about being confined is that you believe it’s to keep the bad out. ...Until you realize it’s about keeping you in. I’m now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won’t sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there’s something that’s bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry. But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger. He’s sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I’ve learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he’s near? I need to tread carefully, or I’m at risk of losing much more than just my freedom. Regret and revenge war inside of me, and I need to figure out a plan fast before I get tangled up in the schemes of kings and queens. Because I won’t be caught in a cage again. No, this time, it’ll be me setting the trap. …I just hope my heart comes out of this unscathed.

Others: PositiveOne night—a single moment—cost me everything. My body, broken beyond repair. The boy I’d thought was my forever. The life I’d always dreamt of. Now, Holt’s back. And he’s no longer a boy, but a man with shadows in his eyes and demons haunting him. He says he’s here to make things right. To get back a little bit of all we’ve lost. And he doesn’t show any signs of leaving the small town that has been my refuge. As stolen moments turn to days, Holt’s around every corner. With his burning stare and lingering touches. Before long, my walls come crashing down and I’m just hoping that taking this second chance isn’t as reckless as it feels. But not everyone is happy that Holt has returned. As tragedy strikes again, I’m the one left in the crosshairs. And Holt might not be able to save me this time…

Others: PositiveTaking in Kason Fuller as roommate is meant to be a favor; one I regret immediately. The bumbling, virgin football player drives me to the brink of sanity, stealing my food, my sleep, my peace and solitude. My solution? Call a ceasefire. Get him out on dates and out of my hair. Yet as our truce shifts, I realize there’s a depth to this connection unlike any I’ve felt before. It turns out, I don’t mind his presence. I crave it, along with every morsel I learn about him. But falling for the guy from the wrong side of the tracks wasn’t in the cards. And I’m not the only one who thinks so. Now, I’m at a crossroads between the life I thought I’d have, or risking everything to catch him.

Others: PositiveI came to L.A. for my fresh start… and then my past showed up. I’m happy. At least that’s what I tell myself. I’m working hard to pursue my dreams. I’m finally out from under the thumb of my adopted parents. I’m happy. But then a 6’4 tattooed hockey star who thinks he’s god shows up at the restaurant where I’m working… And changes everything. He tells me I’m the one. That he’s been searching for me for years… That he’s never going to let me go. The question is… is Ari Lancaster going to break my heart? Or has my Mr. Wrong been the right guy all along…

Others: PositiveOn the northeast side of town, there is a house. The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me. And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night. No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband. But they don’t know me at all. I don’t even know me. Not anymore. They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three. On the northeast side of town, there is a house. But there is no longer a home.

Others: PositiveI broke the cardinal rule of hockey—don’t touch your teammate’s sister. Especially not when she’s sweet, stunning, and way too good for a guy like me. But after we won the championship—and maybe had a little too much to drink—our flirty banter turned into one unforgettable night. She thinks I don’t remember. She couldn’t be more wrong. I remember everything. The way she tasted. The way she gasped my name. The way she ran from my bed like her life depended on it. Three months later, I still can’t get Elise out of my head. Can’t eat. Can’t sleep. Can’t stop obsessing over the one girl I’m supposed to stay away from. She thinks I’m just another hockey player looking for a good time. But she’s wrong about me. Dead wrong. Because I’m not backing down—not when she’s everything I never knew I needed. Game on, sweetheart. You’re about to find out how relentless a determined hockey player can be.

Loved itI really liked it there's not like a strong romance in here though she is in love with the King because she's kept his she is like his prize and like prized possession but the romance I believe is with someone else I read the first two book one was definitely better than book two but I'm very excited to go onto book three
