' I loved this book!!!' NetGalley reviewer When she isn' t busy building her fashion business, Samadhi ' Sam' Ranaweera turns to her other passion to de-stress: competitive late-night gaming (in secret, of course). She can' t believe her luck when she' s selected to play in a virtual tournament with notoriously elusive gamer Blaze. Blaze is a little cocky and very self-assured - no surprises, given his huge online popularity - and Sam feels under pressure to impress him with her gameplay. But she has no idea that in real life, he' s just shy Luke Burneside, the awkward guy from her office. And despite his regular coffee deliveries to her desk, Sam barely notices Luke. . . because with each day, she' s falling harder for Blaze. As her crush intensifies with each game and she becomes obsessed with winning Blaze' s attention, will Sam lose her chance with the man right under her nose? A fun, feel-good romance for fans of You' ve Got Mail, Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory and Lindsey Kelk. Readers LOVE Playing for Love! ' An adorable, uplifting romance. . . Easily one of the best romances I have read in the past year. ' NetGalley reviewer ' I devoured this. . . A light-hearted fun read. ' NetGalley reviewer ' I can' t express how much I loved this book. . . I devoured the story and finished it in a day. ' NetGalley reviewer ' Funny, uplifting, true to life, relatable, and cheerful. If you need cheering up this is the perfect book for you. ' NetGalley reviewer ' Will make you feel warm inside. ' NetGalley reviewer ' A great read. ' NetGalley reviewer
