Oh look, I’ve actually managed to post something on a Friday. Let’s chat about the three new indie books on my Kindle!
If you’re not familiar, I sometimes do Indie Fridays to spotlight indie books. Here’s the last post:
Good Game, Gamer Girl by Reina Zoric
He’s the gaming legend I didn’t recognize.
I’m the mystery girl who stole his heart.
My night at the gaming café should’ve been epic—I finally beat my ex’s rank in Nexus Legends Arena, the game he dumped me over. But instead of celebrating, I’m angry over a toxic teammate’s insults, ready to rage-quit and go home… until he shows up.
Tall, dark-haired, and handsome with a nerdy edge, he congratulates me on ranking up and starts a conversation. There’s something about him that makes me hesitate before brushing him off.
When I get home, my best friend sends me a video that flips my world upside down. The guy from the café? Yeah, he’s Alex Thorne—better known as MnstrX, one of the most famous pro gamers in North America. And now he’s calling me his “mystery girl” on stream and making me an offer I can’t refuse.
Of course I say yes. I’d be an idiot not to.
But the more time I spend with him, the harder I fall for him… and my fears multiply. My last relationship with a gamer ended in heartbreak.
Can I really trust MnstrX with my heart?
I was at Comic-Con this weekend and tried my hardest to find a gamer boyfriend. I just want someone to ignore me for large periods of time so I can read. Is that too much to ask for?
Take It Offline by Dani Mclean
This meet-cute could have been an email.
EMMA
I’m sick of not being taken seriously.
Secretly broke and plagued by being a woman in tech, I’ve spent five years fighting for a sliver of respect from my boss.
Last year it was destroyed by a single man.
No, not a man.
A demon in a three-piece suit.
Now, he’s trying to steal the promotion I’ve earned, but no matter how weak his dimples make me, I refuse to let him win.
Except Charlie Walker has never played by the rules, and he’s intent on getting under my skin, one wink at a time.
CHARLIE
Good things only come to those who take.
So, when corporate superstar and trust fund princess, Emma Conway, expects the lead role handed to her on a silver platter, I do what I do best...
Suit up and step into the ring.
Too bad there’s an inferno hidden under all her control, and it only makes me want to get burned.
I probably shouldn’t have kissed her. I definitely shouldn’t have agreed to make her ex jealous.
It’s a good thing she hates me, or I’d really be in trouble.
There’s just something about an enemies-to-lovers workplace romance that has me feral. I cannot wait to read this!
Peer Reviewed by K.C. Leonard
After 12 years of trying to forget the possibility of what could’ve been, researcher and professor Dr. Jo Carello has given up on love. Coming back to her alma mater to shape the minds of future physicians proves more difficult than she ever imagined, especially when her friend turned enemy, Dr. Isaac Britlyn, shows up on campus for the fall semester. Surrounded by the memories of her feelings for Isaac, Jo is determined to maintain her focus and make a name for herself in neuroscience research.
After finding out that Jo "the one that got away" Carello is back at MMCI, Dr. Isaac Britlyn changes all his plans. Be it the universe, a twist of fate, or Isaac’s pure determination, he sets his sights on repairing the relationship that he let fizzle. Even after incredible love and loss, the spark that brought them together starts to rekindle. Can Isaac prove that this time is different?
I think the theme of this post is workplace romance. But also, I always need more STEM romance in my life, so I’ll be picking this up soon.
Let’s chat!
