5.0

Tournament of Losers is a fun and captivating read for anyone interested in a lighthearted, rather fast paced (and at times predictable) story about two people overcoming their own prejudices to come together, while simultaneously describing the life of a person in poverty and their struggles (wich may seem a bit too serious of a description). 

I found Rath to be a refreshingly simple and kind main character and enjoyed his personality most and Tress is also a fun male lead- his introduction definitely surprised me. 

If I’d have to critique something I’d probably address the unnecessary grammar mistakes and the lack of a proper fleshed out ending- I desperately want to get to know the royal family (Tresses siblings were mentioned multiple times) and Rath adapting to his new role as Tresses husband.

sweet & sexy with some violence but like also at least 70% of the novel takes place "off screen" and you only hear about it after the fact kind of like the novel is highlights or spark notes of another novel
