Blurb:

That was when I met him: Kai Bannon, a fellow gamer with a famous stream channel.

I never expected to become fixated on someone who’d initially been a rival. And I’d never expected someone who oozed charm to notice me—a guy known for his brutal honesty and scowl. I hadn’t planned for our online friendship to turn into something that kept me up at night—hours of chatting evolving into filthy webcam sessions.

But it did. And now I can’t stop thinking about him. In my mind, our real life meeting is perfect. We kiss, we fall into bed, and it’s love at first sight.

Except, like most things in my life, it doesn’t go as planned.

*Strong Signal is a standalone, full-length novel with no cliffhanger*

This book was-

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK. We have two men who fall in love under what would seem like unlikely circumstances- except in this day and age they’re not. It all starts began when gamer Kai kills off Hazzard (aka Garrett)- who was stationed in Afghanistan-during a game of FWO.

My highlights:

·Kai. Because I suffer from social anxiety, I had an instant connection with him. His character is loyal, witty, with a huge heart. It was impossible not to fall in love him.
·Garrett, who was, at first, gruff, was loving and loyal.
·The relationship development. It was funny, quirky, sexy, raw, sweet, and endearing. It was perfection.
·Steam. It was dirty and naughty, and the voyeur in me was in heaven.
·The dialogue. It was natural and felt real.
· We get dual POVs.
·The characters are complex.
·The book has an easy, quick pace.
·The end was a strong HEA. It made believe that they were in it for the long haul.

Do I have anything negative to add? Nope. These two authors are my favorite writing duo to date. Erickson’s sweet, swoony style mixed with Hassell’s raw, edgy one left me breathless. I was torn between wanting to read as fast as I could, but forcing myself to slow down because I never wanted it to end.

This book gets 5+ Stars from me, and I already know this will be in my Top 10 Books List for the year.
