Roll For Romance by Lenora Woods
3.75
3.75 Stars!
I saw a review that said, "This one's for the nerds" and I honestly couldn't agree more. Lenora Woods did such a great job with the D&D aspect of this book. I've always had an interest in D&D but I've never played it. A lot of the sayings I've heard have now been explained and I understand them much more.
I enjoyed the romance between Sadie and Noah. I wish we'd gotten a little less D&D storyline and a little more present romance story line.
The D&D storyline was fun, but I don't feel like it added a whole lot to their actual love story. Usually when we see flashbacks or something like this, its adding to the story. For the first several, I rolled my eyes each time because it really wasn't adding anything for me. We could have done without them and the story wouldn't have been missing anything. They actually pulled me out of the story most of the time, I had to keep convincing myself, "Just get to 40%, it'll probably get better"
When Sadie and Noah were roleplaying online, that took me back to my youth right there. I intrinsically remember typing stuff like that while playing WoW or Ragnarok. Loved it, true nerdy girl moment right there.
Overall, the story was fun, but I wish we'd gotten a little more real life in this one.
I received an e-ARC of this from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
