Publisher's Summary

Hatred is complicated, clothing is simple — Edward doesn’t need a man, and he certainly doesn’t need cosplayer and tattoo artist, Izzy Montes, a.k.a. The Masked Gentleman, Edward’s ultimate nemesis.  

Edward and Izzy have been antagonising each other for over three years. Their rivalry is fierce, and Edward is determined to keep Izzy at arm’s length. Which would be all well and good... if they weren’t engaging in a secret, heated hook-ups. 

Forced to appear together at a film premier in LA, Edward is determined to get in and out with minimal damage to his reputation... and his heart. But Izzy Montes proves to be a complication Edward couldn’t have predicted. Biting, funny, and charming in equal measure, he’s the one man Edward needs to loathe. 

He’s also the one man Edward can’t get out of his mind. 

Not that Izzy plans on letting him. 

Charisma Check is a 80,000-word contemporary MM romance featuring comic conventions, snark, many costume changes, and only one bed. It is book two in the Roll for Love series and should be listened to as part of the series.

Not just for the gamers romance

I really enjoyed Edward and Izzy’s story. As someone not into the gaming scene, it was really interesting to get an fictional appreciation of ComicCon and CosPlay. A unique meet cute and I loved how these two started as enemies and all the hate spiciness that followed.

A fun, low-angst pick-me-up!

Competitive cosplayers, Edward and Isaac (Izzy) loathe each other from their first encounter but always hook up after each comic con. Apart from cosplay and their mutual hatred, they have nothing in common - Izzy is a heavily built tattoo artist while Edward is a refined costume designer. When they’re invited to LA for a film premier and are forced to share the flight and a hotel room, the barriers start to break down. This was a fun enemies-to-lovers / forced-proximity romance! I really enjoyed the film premiers, the bickering and sniping, the slow thaw, and the glimpses of Hollywood gay power-couple, Kayden and Nate - they need their own book! Audio narrator Joel Leslie rolled out his competent UK accents and performed well as always.
