Description:
When an unexpected Player Two enters her life, a gamer must decide if their relationship is worth leveling up in this new romance from the author of The Love Con.

Samara Reynolds has built a large following as a gamer under an anonymous screen name, and uses her skills as a DEIA consultant to advocate for equal representation in video games. When she posted a video critiquing the popular game Legendsfall, she knew she’d get a reaction from her fans, but the video leads to hundreds of female gamers critiquing the game and its company, Artemis Games. The only thing more unexpected than starting an online movement is getting a job offer from the handsome CEO of Artemis.

Aron Galanis has been on a mission to get his company certified to create gaming content for people with disabilities. When he sees Artemis trending online for all the wrong reasons, he’s determined to right his wrongs and offers the originator a mea culpa, as well as a job offer to overhaul the character options in Legendsfall.

Working together turns Aron and Samara from adversaries into allies, allies into friends, and after that—something more. But once their relationship goes public, will Aron and Samara be able to weather the storm and fight for their happy ending, or is it game over?

Review :

Game On by a new author to me, and Seressia Glass has me as a new reader, I really liked this one, and I’m going back for more in the new year. 

Aron is an avid game player and designer, he runs his own company and is a staunch advocate of anyone different. So he’s stunned when his newest game is being trashed on a media platform! He gets his media team on it straight away. But he’s also intrigued as to why the game is being trashed! He needs to nip this in the bud and quick! 

Samara is furious! A character in a popular game, is being belittled and degraded on line. Now you’d think this wasn’t really an issue, but Samara (Sam to get friends) wants this addressed and rectified. She didn’t expect a new job to come out of it, but once in, Sam is hoping to make changes. 

The chemistry is a slow/mid burn, but once it’s slight there is not stopping Aron and Sam from moving from work colleagues to friends to lovers. 

But for me I was interested more in the movement that Sam had started. Her campaigning for the rights of everyone to be included and not singled out. Can these two really make a go of a relationship once the media find out? Or will there be too much pressure ?

To find out, grab this book and see for yourself. I’d recommend this one to gamers/slow burn romance readers.
