Roll For Romance by Lenora Woods

4.5

---

This was one of the cutest rom-coms I’ve ever read!! I personally have never played D&D but I do have a lot of love and appreciation for it! 

Sadie moves from NYC to small town Texas to (temporarily) live with her best friend, Liam, after losing her job. She joins his Dungeons and Dragons campaign of newbies and becomes Jaylie, a human cleric, blessed by the Goddess of Luck. There she meets Noah, a bartender and the human embodiment of sunshine, who plays as Loren, a traveling bard. In and out of the game, she finds herself falling for Noah and needs to decide if it's worth staying in Texas. 

Honestly, I found Sadie so relatable. She’s trying to figure herself out after being completely burnt out from her demanding job and honestly feeling a bit lost so running towards one of her most supportive people was so understandable. I loved Liam immediately, him giving her little tasks to get out of the house was adorable. 

Noah was literally the human embodiment of sunshine, I ADORED him. He and Sadie were adorable and truly loved them together. This book was really just about two nerds falling in love and I ate it up! 

I loved how we were able to get the intertwined story of their real lives and within the game. I thought it made the story so much more entertaining. I found myself so invested in their game as much as I was with the romance! And I want to see all of Sadie's art!! Lenora did such a great job describing her drawings and the mural and all the character descriptions, I need art prints of them all!

Highly recommend checking this one out if you are a D&D, fantasy, and/or ren faire fan!! 

Thank you Dell for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
