About this listen

The game is on for two competitive nerds in this “sweet, swoony, and utterly adorkable” romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Olivia Dade and Jen DeLuca (Jo Watson).

For Rose Marie Jones, risks are a hard no—except for on Game Night. For one precious evening a week, Rose can forget about her demanding boss and her lackluster love life and focus on beating the pants off her friends. But no one brings out her competitive side quite like William Ashdern.

Her best friend’s half-brother, William is the paragon of a sexy nerd. The tall, dorky, and handsome game designer is Rose’s playing nemesis. But when Rose decides to enter a contest with the board game she’s secretly invented, there’s only one person who can help her win.

Now the competition between Rose and William is getting a lot more serious. And after spending her entire life trying not to lose, Rose might finally be ready to risk it all—and play to win.

For a wholesome geeky romance look no further than playing flirty. As a die hard LOTR fan it handled the references impeccably. I ship Rose and William so hard my heart aches for them and had a goofy grin on my face when they finally confessed their feelings for each other

The banter and tension was chef's kiss

I love these characters so much. The games, the banter, the side characters and sub plots, I just love it all. I’ve read the book and now listened to the audio, and the narrator did such an excellent job. If you’re on the fence, I’d strongly suggest giving it a listen.

I adore this book!
