Roll for Romance by Lenora Woods is a romance novel where the two main characters are falling in love in more ways than one. Sadie, after losing her job, flees to her best friend's apartment in Texas. He just happens to be starting a D&D campaign full of newbies, and since she has no reason not to join, she is coming in full force to play.
Sadie and Noah, both having never played D&D, are hitting it off both in and out of the game! This book was a fun spin on your traditional romance novel, where we got both the real-life trials and tribulations, but also getting to see the tabletop RPG game run its course! This is one of the first books with a fantasy parallel story running as the main characters' gaming characters, and I absolutely loved it! This was such a cool added feature to the book and storyline overall, especially as someone who loves D&D!
I overall really enjoyed this book. I loved all of the gaming and role-playing aspects. I also enjoyed Sadie finding herself and growing as a person to take charge of her life and what she wants. I also liked the found family aspect in this book, where all of these people she meets for the first time to play a game are now her biggest supporters. I also have a soft spot for Noah; he was so sweet and supportive, and I was rooting for them from the beginning.
