When she posted a video critiquing the popular game Legendsfall, she knew she\u2019d get a reaction from her fans, but the video leads to hundreds of female gamers critiquing the game and its company, Artemis Games. The only thing more unexpected than starting an online movement is getting a job offer from the handsome CEO of Artemis.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Aron Galanis has been on a mission to get his company certified to create gaming content for people with disabilities. When he sees Artemis trending online for all the wrong reasons, he\u2019s determined to right his wrongs and offers the originator a mea culpa, as well as a job offer to overhaul the character options in Legendsfall.<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Working together turns Aron and Samara from adversaries into allies, allies into friends, and after that\u2014something more. But once their relationship goes public, will Aron and Samara be able to weather the storm and fight for their happy ending, or is it game over?<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col3-2 tb_ij6m4 last\">\n                                                        <div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n                        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_ai2m4  repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16466 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg?resize=135%2C44&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Dec 12, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Samara<\/strong> is one of the top female gamers out there. She has built a following in the gaming community and even finds herself advocating for equality in the gaming world. Samara posts an honest critique of a popular game that immediately spreads through the community and attracts the attention of the CEO of the gaming company.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When <strong>Aron<\/strong>, the CEO of Artemis, reaches out to Samara, he doesn\u2019t anticipate liking her. He wants to make sure his games get good reviews, and that Artemis can become certified in creating content for people with disabilities. He must move quickly to rectify this situation and offering Samara a position at his company seems like the perfect solution.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of those examples where the story should be an enemies-to-lovers theme, but it is more friends to lovers. The two main characters immediately find themselves on common ground. They both are advocates for the things they love, and they both love games. I have to admit that I\u2019m not a gamer and that is not what prompted me to want to read this one. I thought there would have been more tug and pull between Aron and Samara.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initial concept of the book won me over. However, there seem to be too many distractions from the plot. The story read to me very scattered and didn\u2019t focus enough on the chemistry and romantic relationship building of the couple. I wonder if the author did this because she had to create some conflict in the story. The gaming community wouldn\u2019t accept them as a couple working together after Samara\u2019s initial review.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, it was a light story but not very memorable. Fans of games and contemporary romances in general may enjoy this one.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_pvzn5 customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46Wc7n5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/471dCR0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/game-on-seressia-glass\/1143202192?ean=9780593199084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/game-on-112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Seressia_Glass_Game_On?id=x12zEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samara Reynolds has built a large following as a gamer under an anonymous screen name, and uses her skills as a DEIA consultant to advocate [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,128,48,50],"tags":[146,216,217,238,324],"class_list":["post-30795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-berkley","category-penguin-group","category-reviews","category-samantha","tag-3-stars","tag-contemporary","tag-contemporary-romance","tag-diverse-romance","tag-interracial-romance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -

When she posted a video critiquing the popular game Legendsfall, she knew she\u2019d get a reaction from her fans, but the video leads to hundreds of female gamers critiquing the game and its company, Artemis Games. The only thing more unexpected than starting an online movement is getting a job offer from the handsome CEO of Artemis.<br \/><br \/>Aron Galanis has been on a mission to get his company certified to create gaming content for people with disabilities. When he sees Artemis trending online for all the wrong reasons, he\u2019s determined to right his wrongs and offers the originator a mea culpa, as well as a job offer to overhaul the character options in Legendsfall.<br \/><br \/>Working together turns Aron and Samara from adversaries into allies, allies into friends, and after that\u2014something more. But once their relationship goes public, will Aron and Samara be able to weather the storm and fight for their happy ending, or is it game over?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/3-hearts-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Release Date:<\/strong> Dec 12, 2023<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley\u00a0<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $10.99<\/p><hr \/><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Samara<\/strong> is one of the top female gamers out there. She has built a following in the gaming community and even finds herself advocating for equality in the gaming world. Samara posts an honest critique of a popular game that immediately spreads through the community and attracts the attention of the CEO of the gaming company.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When <strong>Aron<\/strong>, the CEO of Artemis, reaches out to Samara, he doesn\u2019t anticipate liking her. He wants to make sure his games get good reviews, and that Artemis can become certified in creating content for people with disabilities. He must move quickly to rectify this situation and offering Samara a position at his company seems like the perfect solution.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of those examples where the story should be an enemies-to-lovers theme, but it is more friends to lovers. The two main characters immediately find themselves on common ground. They both are advocates for the things they love, and they both love games. I have to admit that I\u2019m not a gamer and that is not what prompted me to want to read this one. I thought there would have been more tug and pull between Aron and Samara.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initial concept of the book won me over. However, there seem to be too many distractions from the plot. The story read to me very scattered and didn\u2019t focus enough on the chemistry and romantic relationship building of the couple. I wonder if the author did this because she had to create some conflict in the story. The gaming community wouldn\u2019t accept them as a couple working together after Samara\u2019s initial review.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall, it was a light story but not very memorable. Fans of games and contemporary romances in general may enjoy this one.<\/p><p><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46Wc7n5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/471dCR0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/game-on-seressia-glass\/1143202192?ean=9780593199084\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/game-on-112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Seressia_Glass_Game_On?id=x12zEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30795"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30795\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30802,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30795\/revisions\/30802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
