Deliciously Awkward!  

I had no idea Gamer Geek was a subgenre of Romance now! I'm so glad to find out this exists! I got this as a Kindle First read, and finished in one day. I am really happy it was one of the options. 

So what happens when two introverts get to know each other through an MMO? Misconceptions about identities, and wacky hijinks of course! Small towns, small dating pools, judgy people, family dysfunction, this book has it all. And some spicy romance to boot!

I rate the spice 2/5 chili peppers. The sex scenes are fairly explicit, more R than X rating. So if you like romance but not the sex stuff, it's really a small part of the story, and easily skimmable if it's not your thing. Well worth reading if it is, though.

I am definitely going to have to check out some of Cathy Yardley's other work.

emotional lighthearted

3.0

This was the first romance I’ve read which features an older couple - he is 50, she’s around 48 - which was great and made such a nice change. 

It was cute but just a bit cringe in places (particularly her ‘badass’ attitude) and I felt like they actually fell in love a bit too quickly.
