Blurb
Stevie Andwell is ready to be done with her cheating ex-boyfriend. And what better way than to have a night of fun with Blade, member of The System and one of the best and most famous video game streamers in the world. Stevie doesn’t even care that she has no clue what he looks like or who he actually is – since The System is known for their masks and anonymity.
Good friends, good food, good coffee, and a good orgasm. All a girl needs.
Stevie
Then Stevie meets Aleksander Knight. He’s the tattooed bad boy, and she can’t stay away. She’s caught between the two as she keeps running into Blade while she’s getting to know Aleks. Stevie doesn’t know that Aleks is actually Blade. And Aleks must keep it that way to protect himself, his friends, and the lives they’ve built. But keeping the secret from Stevie is getting harder and harder…
I knew this girl was going to ruin me, but I think she is going to be my complete destruction. And I will happily let my castle crumble around me if it makes her happy.

My Thoughts on Good Game
AHHH! I loved this book. Such a different premise with the MMC being a ~professional gamer~ I absolutely love it. And I’m not even into video games.
I really liked Stevie’s character – her annoyances with her rich parents, her friendships, her art, and her terrible ex. She had a lot going on in her story. She was also a little wild; I mean the award’s show table scene – wow, very bold!
Aleksander was an interesting character as well. The lengths he and his friends go through to hide their identities as The System was crazy. It also means he hasn’t been able to have a normal life – like having a girlfriend, which is kind of sad. But I really loved his friendships with the other guys.
I honestly don’t have much more than that, but I really enjoyed this book and its’ creativity! Such a breath of fresh air from other typical romance books. And it makes you think about how our perception of “hot” characters is changing from the classic tropes of sports players, mafia, billionaires, etc.
