I really enjoyed this book I just wish it was a little longer. I think that they should have interacted a bit more as their characters because without it, it just feels like a parasocial relationship. I understand that that is kind of the idea but I feel like a bit more interaction between them would make it more believable. I loved when they were just Luke and Sam though I do wish before the reveal that they would have hung out together besides just being at work.

I received a copy through netgalley.

Sam is a girl trying to pursue her dream company and at the same building there’s this guy named Luke with his own already successful company that has had a crush on her since he saw her but she barely pays attention to him. What Sam doesn’t know is that Luke is this famous gamer youtuber ‘Blaze’ that she’s been watching for a long time that is totally the opposite of what Luke is in real life shy, lacking confidence and everything Blaze isn’t. 
She sees a contest of a new game where anyone can join and whoever gets to the final gets to go the convention and play together in real life to win the prize $$$ when she realizes ‘Blaze’ is gonna be part of it she decides to join and finally have her opportunity to meet him and by destiny they get paired up and become a team. 
During the day he helps her with work and at night they’re teammates without knowing. 


I’m not really into gaming and watching streams but i know a lot of people enjoy it so i tried to give this book a chance and it was really entertaining i didn’t know what i was getting myself into but it was a cute, clean, easy romance to read, someone who’s probably into this kind of stuff would enjoy this book i give it 3.75/5 ⭐️ because i would’ve liked to see more of them outside of the office workspace and last but not least thanks to netgalley for this arc.
