Playing Flirty

One tiny TW for workplace harassment, but I think it was handled well.

Where do I even start? This book was just UHG. Perfection.
To be fair, I basically knew it would be. I've been looking forward to it for ages, and I knew I'd love it - but I didn't know if LOVE it this much.

This book is littered with all the things us nerds and geeks adore - references to our favourite shows, books, games and all sorts. As a person who has always adored boardgames and card games, I felt this book was written for me. I now desperately want to find a group of friends who would be willing to come to game nights all the time, any volunteers? (Although I've always wanted that to be fair)

Something that stood out for me about this book were the characters. I felt they were really well written - not just out main characters, but their friends too. I could've kept spending time with them for many more pages and been at ease.

The slow-burn, steamy (but not too spicy) romance was perfect for me. An upgrade from the clean YA I'm used to reading, but not too spicy that I'm uncomfortable (like a few other adult romances I've tried 🤣)
Not too much, not too little, but just right!

Also, seeing as Shameez is the Queen of Banter, we HAVE to talk about just how brilliant the banter in this story is. Top tier. Truly.

As I said in my stories the other day, I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone that will listen. Having said that, it is perfect for those who love a great, low-spice, slow-burn, kinda enemies to lovers, romance, as well as all the nerdy and geeky references we need in life.

Basically? Please. Please go read this now.
