This was a good end to the Dungeons and Dating series. I loved seeing Jasper get his HEA, and Matt was such a sweetheart. I've enjoyed reading about this group of found family, and I'm excited to see what's planned next.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.

I am so sad to see this series end, but what a way to go. I love all the characters and the stories of these friends that are more like a family.

Well sad to see this beautiful found family come to an end, at the same time happy they all have found their hea. As usual, Katherine shows us she isn't a one type writer, and I applaud her for including all aspects of the lbgtq community. Matt & Jasper truly match each other perfectly once they work out issues that do tend to happen when kink is included. Thanks Jasper for understanding with demi people it takes awhile to be comfortable, not just going with this person isn't into what you are, guess what sometimes it takes time and feelings to feel the need for more. Great ending to a fantastic series. I can't wait to see what Katherine has in store for us next.

When I requested this ARC, I did not realize this was the sixth and final book in the Dungeons and Dating series. Reading this has convinced me that I need to read the series from the beginning because I enjoyed this book. This book is the story of Jasper and Matt, the neighborhood baker who is not as straight as people think. This story was well written, and I loved how the two MCs worked together to reach their HEA. The book also has some spice with its BDSM elements.
Thank you to GRR for providing me with an ARC; this is my honest review.

Bittersweet - the end of an era at the Tabletop Tavern, although I'm happy that so many of the characters may have a chance to visit Whipped in the next series... and I have to say that Matt and Jasper's story was sweet, steamy and endearing. I loved that they were open to discovering new things about themselves and each other and the trust levels... chef's kiss...
90% of the drama was outside the relationship and it gave the book tension without making the relationship tense. I truly enjoyed and devoured this book and I can't wait to read the next series!

Unfortunately, this is the end of a lovely, nerdy series. I did not read this series in order, I don’t feel like you absolutely had to. However, with this book, I recommend since it is the last in the series.
I loved getting to know Jasper more. He was seen in pervious books; however, it was all top level and you didn’t really get to know him until now. Matt was fun. He had the ability to turn Jasper on his head, which is always enjoyable. The book has some spicy with its BDSM elements. Jasper and Matt find their way through the life style and how that works best for them as a couple.
Tabletop Tavern lands itself in some trouble, but what makes this book so wonderful is how everyone came together. That sense of community was heartwarming and was a nice touch to the ending of the series.

Charisma Check by Katherine McIntyre is a sweet romance with a little kink thrown in. It is the 6th and last book in the Dungeons and Dating Series. Jasper and Matt's story is a lovely ending to the series with boardgames, coffee, handmade bread, sandwiches, wine, shibari, sexy running shorts, and a ginger bear!

I can't believe this much loved series has come to an end! There is such variety in character types, personalities and relationships that it really showcases the author's imagination and love for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Jasper has been a steady dose of steadfast friendship wrapped up in a biting exterior, sticking to hookups so as to avoid commitment. The man has had a lot of hardship in his past, even suffering with PTSD. Adorably, he's been secretly crushing on Matt, a local baker and cafe owner but it's the dreaded straight man crush. Matt has come to enjoy Jasper's lunch visits, and a break up and a slip of the tongue has Jasper and Matt attending a shibari class at a local cafe. The reaction that both men have, and the roles they take on, come as quite the shock and lead to all sorts of explorations. Matt goes into this looking to share with Jasper what he hasn't quite managed to find with anyone else. Being demisexual has made it hard when partners try to rush their relationship but having gotten to know Jasper over the past couple of years, I think has helped them establish a friendship and bond that leave Matt knowing he can trust him and so easily fall for him too. Jasper struggles a bit with what's developing due to two bad events in his past, leaving him thinking he is better off alone. Matt shows him how kindness and care can really break down that barrier and they have several quite emotional moments that strengthen what they have but also scare Jasper with what the possibilities are.
While all of this is going on, there is a developer that has come in and is trying to buy a several buildings in the local area, including Table Top Tavern. The group are left with very little time to come up with a plan of action to save them from having to close. It puts Jasper into panic mode as these people have become his true family and their Tavern is the haven that he and their community need and deserve. It brings out the emotions in everyone and shows just how much everyone means to each other, what TTT have given to them all and the local community.
I loved reading Jasper and Matt's story, how they come together and develop individually and together. It's a wonderful found family series and I highly recommend each and every book. I hope that we get to catch up with the group now and then.
