I am a DND player so I thought the dual storyline was really cool. The DND parts were well done and really sucked me in. However, I personally struggled to connect to Sadie & Noah. Their romance was cute and they seemed really nice, but I felt no emotional investment in them. He pretty much sends the bat signal to tell her he likes her and she’s still in denial about it being a date. This book has the vibes of a YA romance, but the themes and language of an adult romance.
I think readers who love sweet contemporary romances and a fantasy twist would enjoy this, but it wasn’t for me unfortunately.

Roll for Romance feels like a contemporary romance and fantasy romance double feature all rolled into a single book
Not only do you get to see Sadie and Noah fall in love via their real-life interactions but you’re also thrust into the D&D story where you see their characters flirt and interact as well. It makes for a unique experience.
What’s to love…
- nerdy romance and plenty of D&D
- healthy communication
- cinnamon roll MMC
- Red-haired MMC (we need more of these)
- small-town Texas setting
- Story within a story
- self-discovery/self-love journey
- Slow-burn
- found family
What didn’t work for me…
- What didn’t work for me is probably going to be the reason so many people absolutely LOVE this book. I am not a huge story within a story fan, so this was hard for me to get into. Each story is so well done and I would gladly read more from this author! Actually, I’d LOVE a cozy romantasy from this author, the world she creates with the game-play is lush and her writing style is easy to fall in love with.
Thank you NetGalley and Dell for sending this book (eARC) for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
