Game All Night

Gamer Boy, Book 3

De: Lauren Helms

Narrado por: Rae Miles

A game between friends....

RUBY
Just friends.
That's all we are,
All we ever were.
But when I finally let myself go,
Let myself really feel,
The only thing I want is him.

Despite how opinionated, frustrating, and charming he is,
We're only friends.
He's my player number two.
But lately, we're powering up, trying for more,
And playing this game just might destroy us for good.

LINK
She deserves better,
Better than the game-less douche who gets to have her.
She's strong, feisty, and so damn smart.
Too smart - if you ask me.

And now, I'm amped up for more,
Ready to play this game,
With no "game over" in sight.

Fabulous Story & Listen🎧 Captivating & Heartfelt!

Lauren Helms pens another fabulous novel in her “Gamer Boy” series. This enjoyable friends to lovers romance
contains a whole lot of heart. The story grabbed my attention right from the start and held it to the very end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the lead characters, Ruby and Link, they have been friends for several years. They tried to be more at first but felt they were best at just being friends. Link is a professional gamer and Ruby is a journalist for a trendy news website. There friendship and bond grew over the past couple of years, there is chemistry between them but neither acknowledge it. Ruby has been casually dating Mason and she wants to take the relationship to a more permanent level. Then she finally sees his true colors and how much of a jerk he is, the guy is all about him plus he looked down on her friends for their career choice. She truly dodged a bullet with that guy. Link finally got rid of his girlfriend, who was more of a hanger-on type of a girl. I was rooting for these two to get together and cheered when they were both free and even happier when they finally realized they wanted each other. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story flows naturally and is nicely plotted with the perfect balance of drama, angst, some humor, heartfelt and emotional moments and a wonderful romance. Lauren Helms thank you for another great enjoyable and entertaining story, I love this series and the amazing characters you created.

Friends to lovers

The first two books of this series are focused on other pairings within this wonderful group of friends that is brought together when Dex and Mo find each other. This book is Ruby and Linc. For the last books, we see them at first going at each other, but mostly light ribbing and teasing. They test and torment each other, and their friendship is fun to see unfold. But you can tell there’s more to their relationship that they aren’t willing to admit. Their friends bring it up from time to time, and the seeds are planted that we want to know more about them. Now, they’ve been friends for 2 years, and they’ve become really good friends. They’re both dating other people, and both are secretly super jealous of the others SO. I don’t even understand why Ruby continues to date her boyfriend, because he’s a total jerk, but I have to chalk it up to being easier to stay than confront the issues. When they both find themselves single and in a position to be together they decide to go for it, much to the joy of everyone around them. It would seem that their relationship is a no brained, but the universe throws them for a pretty major loop, and it tests them, hard. The story touches on a couple very sensitive subjects, and does it well, and realistically. Dealing (or not) with trauma and it’s effects are really big here. I just have to say, while he may not make all the right moves all the time, and he definitely has that cocky attitude to fall back on, Linc is an amazing boyfriend. I’ve found it interesting that the biggest pushbacks in this series have come from the women, for various reasons, and these men all step up brilliantly. Once again, the wonderful friends circle that has been created here adds a fantastic layer to the story as well. This story puts you through the emotional ringer, but it comes out the other end in such a great way. Each book in this series has progressively gotten better. And I really, really hope that Bernie gets her own book!!

Book 3 delivers!

This series is everything!! These gamer boys are drool-worthy and have created a family of friends like no other. Rae Mills brings Ruby and Link to life...and I hung on every word. Book 3 is just as wonderful as Book 1 and that's a rare anomaly!
