𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Rose designed a fantasy board game when she was younger but never did anything with it even though it was her dream to be a Board Game Designer. She took the safe route, becoming an Investment Analyst. She works with her best friend, Shaun who is about to marry her other best friend, Neema. William, Shaun's half brother/roommate is a videogame designer. He has playboy tendencies and always needs to make things into a competition with Rose. When Rose decides to finally submit her game to a contest, she seeks William's help.

𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: I absolutely loved this book! The characters, the side characters, the story…everything! The chemistry between Rose & William was fantastic!
I had a feeling at the beginning of Gandalf's identity! I was really hoped that Rose would figure it out sooner!!! I wanted to jump into the book and smack not only Patrick but Jeffrey Markham too! I really appreciated how they were dealt with.
My only complaint is that in the middle it started to drag a bit.
