From the author of the nationally bestselling Dungeons and Drama comes another gaming romance that's sure to win you over!

Quinn Norton is starting over at a new high school and hopes that joining a D&D game will be the trick to making friends. The plan sounds even better when she’s invited into a group that includes Logan Weber, the cute and charming guy she met on her first day of class. But this isn’t your average D&D campaign— this group livestreams their games and enforces strict rules: no phones allowed, and no dating other group members.

Quinn is willing to accept the rules, even if it makes Logan off-limits. And she quickly learns that doing so won’t be a problem, since Logan goes from charismatic to insufferable as soon as she agrees to join. As their bickering—and bantering—intensifies inside and outside the game, Quinn can’t help wondering: Is Logan’s infuriating behavior a smokescreen for hidden feelings? Quinn is risking it all, and the twenty-sided dice are rolling!

My Thoughts:

Another great addition to the gaming and romance series! These are standalones, so they can be read in any order. I was shipping Quinn and Logan from Chapter 1, so obviously I had to keep reading to see how it all played out. I loved the addition of the character of Quinn’s grandmother and how she plays into her relationship with Logan. Grandma Barbara is quirky, funny and cute. The book wouldn’t be the same without her! While this book is YA with no spice, the themes aren’t completely juvenile as Quinn is dealing with her friends at her old school tossing her out of their group over some delusional slight and she's been betrayed by her former best friend. Quinn’s parents are determined to move Grandma Barbara into a home and Quinn is starting to notice that maybe she shouldn’t be living on her own. So why this is a light hearted book, I wouldn't call it immature by any means. I mean, I'm an adult and I've enjoyed every book in this series so far. I can't wait for the next installment this year!
