ROLL FOR ROMANCE - LENORA WOODS
As soon as I read the synopsis for Roll for Romance, I knew that I had to read it. I love playing board games, and it was a real joy to combine two of my hobbies in a single read.
Sadie is the protagonist, and she's come to small-town Texas to heal from burnout, intense career expectations and her fast-paced NYC lifestyle. While staying with her best friend, Liam, she gets roped into a weekly Dungeons & Dragons session. As their fictional quest progresses, Sadie finds herself drawn to her fellow players, both as friends and, in one case, as a romantic interest.
I thoroughly enjoyed the two-storyline structure, where the reader gets to read about Sadie and Noah in Texas in one storyline, but also the D&D quest and the weekly group's characters in the other storyline. I also enjoyed how Lenora Woods weaved Sadie and Noah's changing relationship and behaviour into their D&D characters and gameplay.
This book is relatable, fun and has characters you can't help but love. If you love the sound of a unique romance with small-town vibes, spice, found family and D&D, Roll for Romance is for you.
Thank you to Lenora Woods, the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this eARC.
