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.

This was a delightful read about two adults finding love later in life. After a rough divorce and her son leaving for college Maggie has settled in to being an antisocial introvert that hates human interaction. But when she joins an online gaming group she finds that maybe not all humans suck. A great slow burn friends-to-lovers this novel also addresses coming out as an adult, dealing with rude family, and being true to yourself.
