Still, at first, I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this book. Thankfully for me, this meant that I could enjoy the book a little more than I do other romances. There’s more kissing then sex and the smut is a bit more fade-to-black then I expected. This book employs the there’s only one bed trope at some point and yet? When they share a bed you get a moment that is just sweet and I preferred that so much. I find that boring and it’s one of the reasons I don’t enjoy a lot of romance novels but this wasn’t too bad. This being a romance novel, I was a little worried that it would be a lot of pointless smut. Only their journey there is going to be a road trip they won’t forget and, unsurprisingly, they fall in love. A competition that could win them a lot of fame and money.

They appear on a vlog called Gamer Grandpa with their play group and their connections to it nets them tickets to a massive con and competition in Vegas. So when I saw it on NetGalley, I decided I wanted to give it a read.Ĭonventionally Yours focuses on Conrad and Alden, two young men who play the fictional card game Odyssey. I don’t solely read them though and this book looked like the perfect rom-com for me and it was New Adult which is an age-range I’ve not read much of. As a general rule these days, I try to read more queer books these day written by Own Voices authors.
