This lost half a star for being icky about age. Obviously nothing gross happened otherwise it would have lost a lot more stars, but honestly it flirted with the line of ok a fair bit. Can everyone just be in their 20s and 30s and up in these please? Can we just make that a new rule?

This story was everything I loved finding out Grim and Beasts backstory. They both had everything going against them Kates Father ran her life how he saw fit and Grim didn’t fit into his plan for her. If you’ve read Academy of Stardom you’ll know what happens with Grim and Beast but that ending still had me shouting noooooo. I’m going to buy the paperback and am hoping it will be available on audio as well.

Tales You Win is book one in Grim & Beasts Duet. A dark bodyguard romance.

This is the story we have been waiting for. From when I first read Academy of Stardom I wanted more from Beast and Grim.
If you haven't read Bea's other series this can technically be read as a standalone, but I would recommend starting at the beginning with Brothers Freed, Academy of Misfits, Beyond the Horizon (Finding their Muse is included here in the reading order, however I've not read the series), Academy of Stardom followed by Their Obsession duet.

Grim is the daughter of Carter, the Rule of Tales and east end underground fight club. Tales you win. Heads you lose. And the fighters of Tales never lose.
Beast is Carter's enforcer and is tasked with the job of being Grim's bodyguard.

I really enjoyed their interactions throughout this book. It shows how much their relationship has grown from the beginning of their story here to how they are in Academy of Stardom or Their Obsession. Plus the added bonus of the Freed brothers making an appearance with Hudson and Grim being best friends.

I'm looking toward to Heads You Lose and seeing where the rest of the twisted tale takes us.
While we know how their story ends up. This cliffhanger ending still has me SHOOK!
