Daevon and Nijea are gamers who follow each other's social media and unbeknownst to each other, both are harboring a secret crush. When Daevon says he's sending the weekend in her city, Nijea gets brave and offers to show him around. But Daevon surprises her with plans of his own.

This was such a cute story. Very sweet, but rooted in something we all recognize. I love the gamer aspect and the way the two of them really paid attention to each other. Daevon following her Twitter and doing the things she liked was a great date idea and I love when a man shows initiative. Nijea was a great character, reaching for her goals and independent to a fault, but accepting help with grace and embracing her family's love. I love that Daevon had just as big a crush on her as she had on him and saw her as the one to be cherished and sought after. They were pretty sexy too. I also loved how the story ended on a HEA that was real, with them navigating the long distance, but committed to staying together. Such a sweet story.
