Meh. I want to like this series (queer tabletop gamers!) more than I actually do. The writing just isn’t to my taste - too repetitious. Read the sample.

This was another great book in the Dungeons and Dating series. I've read several of the previous books, but not all, and it can be read as a standalone. Arjun & Eli had more in common than they realized, and I loved seeing them fall into a relationship. I loved seeing their walls and fears slowly breaking down. I really enjoyed reading it.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.

I love all the books in this series and this one is another great one. Great chemistry between the two MC's and I loved seeing all the characters from the past books. I have really enjoyed all the books in this series and recommend reading them all in order even though technically this is a standalone.

Great fun read if you're into dungeons and dragons you will find the humor of these books even more. It's a breath of fresh air for those of us who appreciate gaming and mm books.
Found family is my favorite trope in the mm world because let's be honest sometimes your found family is your true family. Thank you for bringing arjun and eli to us adding the hurt /comfort aspect made this story even more beautiful please give this author a shot it will be worth the ride.

Give me a spin-off series about Arjun's grandmother. Thank you.

Wonderful addition to the series. Full of wit and hurt men needing to heal.

I've been waiting for Arjun's story to find out why he's so standoffish and to explore his back story and Kat McIntyre doesn't disappoint with his story or his pairing with Eli, who has issues of his own..

This story is a slow burn, building friends to lovers story that answers so many questions and fleshes out why we've seen tension from both men in the previous books - that being said, if this is your first Dungeons and Dating story, you'll still find the story well crafted and I think it can easily be read standalone.

Kat has created such a beautiful world surrounding the Tabletop Tavern and the friend group that work and hang out there and the icing on the cake in Dexterity Check is getting to meet Nani and see just where Arjun gets his spirit and sass!

I can't wait for the final story in this series although I'm glad that Kat has already announced a spin off series so we can get cameos of these amazing characters for books to come!

This is a nerdy (love it!) novel about two guys meeting at the right moment for them. Eli and Arjun want different things from life when really they want and need each other. Eli has many barriers to breaK down with himself due to past relationships issues. While Arjun has barriers of his own to break away from.

I find this novel to be included in my category of Sunday afternoon reads. This means it’s an easy afternoon read. Once you start, you want to finish it. First time reading this author and it was a pleasant surprise. I love discovering new authors! And as a gamer myself this novel was fun! I do plan on picking up the rest of the novels in this series very soon in the future, I know the series is a decent mix of couples not just MM romance with the next being released in May 2023!

*Reader Note: I received a free copy of this book through Gay Romance Reviews (GRR) and this is my honest review.

I just… wish that these books had been edited a teensy bit better, because they are almost fantastic but land in a sliiiightly awkward spot.

This was adorable, needy, steamy. Everything I was looking for in an adorable MM romance. I loved the whole series! If you like gaming ad well as romance this is a good option
