Game On by Britney Bell

 

My Rating: ⭐3.5/5

Got Game On by Britney Bell through a giveaway at Story Origin.

The short contemporary romance was super sweet. A book-worm, Gaia, falls for her brother’s football team player, Blaze. The initial love burn was very good.

The book was set in Venice and partially in Milan. The author could have added some details about the city and introduced some important landmarks to the readers. I think this would have improved the book.

And all the bibliophiles can relate to “Time passes fast, and I’m deep in the pages of my book when I realize we’re pulling into my brother’s driveway.”

Coincidence plays a great role in the Blaze and Gaia’s romance. Blaze goes to Gaia’s shop to buy a gift while traveling in Venice. Is Venice that small? Were there no other gift shops?

The way Gaia shifted from “Get a grip, woman” to “Just live in the here and now” was so sweet. It’s strange how love messes up the way we think.

And Bell was very good at describing how we feel about the one we love:

The one who burned the memory of his body into my head so deep that I can’t dig it out and throw it away, even if I wanted to.

The one who I dream about, the one whose name leaves my lips when the memories turn to fantasies, and I scream for him during the lonely silence of night.
