I think I screwed up keeping the sex casual around the time I started sleeping in his bed.
This was a quick, sweet read that put a smile on my face. I'm a sucker for roommates romances, especialy when those roommates don't hit it off immediately. Also, I really loved the MC's entire big queer found family, and I'm excited to read the rest of the series to see all these other people find their personal happiness, too.
I guess I only have a couple of small complaints:
1) For the first book in a series centered around a tabletop gaming group, there really wasn't enough tabletop gaming. :D
2) And I guess the shift from bickering over household chores and timetables to the first sex scene felt too abrupt for me? Then again, it's quite possible that's a "me" thing. I often find myself a bit thrown by romance storylines where sexual attraction blossoms before every other type of attraction. Guess I'm too ace to get it.
Anyway, this aside, I was happy to spend an evening with this book and I'm already shifting the next installment of Table Topped closer to the top of my TBR tower.
