A promise unkept. A love she can’t forget. This wily human will do anything to reclaim the heart of the Goblin King.
Lady Melody Piobaire never lost faith her first love would come for her when she was forced from his side. That is, until she finds out he doesn’t even know who she really is...doesn’t even know she’s human. To make things worse, she’s the promised mistress of the sidhe king. Rather than bear Tir’s heir, she devises a plan to win back her true love in the most goblin of ways.Orphaned elf Aodh never forgot what it was like growing up on the mean streets of Goblintown. And now, as Goblin King, he’s dedicated to being the just and attentive ruler the neglected goblins deserve. So when a spoiled human who knows nothing of what it means to be a goblin tricks him into marriage, he’ll do anything to be rid of her.
Melody is certain she can win Aodh’s heart again, so she isn’t prepared for his hot and cold hostility. Aodh is unsettled by the forward human in his home and the way she seems to know just how to get to him.
What can Melody do if her only love no longer wants her, or worse, no longer exists?
EXCERPT:
His blush deepened. “Help me by being my goblin queen.”
Heat bloomed on my cheeks and neck—even my ears felt hot. I could hardly hear my voice over the sound of my pounding heart. “Is this a marriage proposal?” I tried to make my voice light, but I didn’t quite pull it off.
He dropped his eyes to the little bit of space between us. “I mean, you must like me at least a little. You’ve kept coming around these last few months after all.” His nonchalant tone was much more convincing than mine had been.
Disappointment wiggled its way into my heart, but it made my lie much smoother. “Yes, to buy potion ingredients.”
His expression sagged a little, and hope pushed the disappointment aside. “W-well, you did kiss me that time.”
I could see it now, and I smiled while my heart rang as a bell struck. “Yes, to thank you for saving me.”
All of his confidence, his bravado, crumbled away as he turned his gaze back to the dispersing crowd.
“Do you know what you’re asking me to put aside?” I wondered aloud.
“I’m sure your parents have picked some rich and powerful sidhe out for you,” he said bitterly. “Is that what you want?” His question was quiet, uncertain.
Thoughts of guilt toward my family and Lorccán were long forgotten. My hand trembled when I reached out and rested it on his, and his eyes flicked to mine.
“They have. But even so, when you become the goblin king, I’ll be your goblin queen,” I murmured.

Keep reading to get a tempting taste of Time to Bounce by Lani Lynn Vale, along with getting my impressions of this sixth installment in the Carter Brothers series, then be sure to add it to your bookshelf too!
Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:
The Carter Brothers are back with this fast-paced and suspenseful roller coaster ride that I absolutely devoured! The characters are immensely likable with familial interactions that pulled me even further into the story.
While the romance of Athena and Gable is one we've seen before, with all the usual issues surrounding their age-gap, I still enjoyed the battle they undertook with trying to keep away from each other despite being inevitable. Their banter was crackling with lots of sexual tension, a connection full of twists and turns, with lots of back and forth. Gable's got a good heart, frustratingly he doesn't often think before he leaps, but I still found much to endear him to me and have me rooting for him. Athena's the ideal heroine, a feisty and strong-willed younger woman who has emotional baggage courtesy of a family full of pain and loss. These two seemed different from the outside, but their connection was pure perfection.
The overall storyline was full of lots of moving pieces, surprises that shocked me in a good way along with bad. The suspense was heart-pounding with a sensual and sizzling romance that brought out the best in Gable. Alongside him was the rest of the Carter family, always there to support one another while seamlessly bringing Athena into their fold. By the turn of the final page, I'm left satisfied but uncertain about where things go after a few surprising twists that left me gobsmacked. On the whole, this is another winner from Ms. Vale, and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the final release in this series!
My rating for this is an A-
*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
