Web designer Luke has an alter ego as YouTube gamer Blaze. His client, Sam, is a huge Blaze fan—but she has no idea that he and Luke are one and the same. When he and Sam are randomly matched as partners in a gaming tournament, they end up in a strange love triangle: Luke's got a crush on Sam, but Sam's got a crush on Blaze. This is a unique romance with well-developed, angsty characters. I'm not a gamer, but I loved how the competition in the virtual world was incorporated into the story. I enjoyed this author's style and how she brought this story vividly to life. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
