I've started picking up romance novels as something nice to read before I go to bed rather than trying to take in all the information of the fantasy/sci-fi/other heavy genre I'm also reading. Conventionally Yours seemed like a good fit for me with it being a little geeky.

This may get spoilery. I'll try not to.

The story follows Alden and Conrad on their road trip to a card game convention in Las Vegas in a love-to-hate romance. They are part of a popular Youtube account called Gamer Grandpa (alongside Jasper and Payton, and of course, Gamer Grandpa) and viewers love to watch the animosity between them. As with every love-to-hate romance, they realise that they have viewed each other incorrectly for a long time.

I have to say that I liked the card game more than the romance. I've read another review on here that says the opposite but I wanted to see the guys playing card games more than I wanted to hear about all the 'feels' they were having about each other. The romance itself was fine. I did think it went from 'I really can't stand you' to 'I want your mouth on my mouth' all of a sudden and within a day of the road trip. I would have preferred if they hated each other for at least half of the trip and finally realised the opposite at the convention.

I enjoyed it while I read it but I don't think it'll stay with me for a long. It looks like it may be a series and I'd only read it to learn more about the Odyssey game than the relationship between the lads.

This book was given to me as an ARC from Netgalley.
