Charisma Check

Dungeons and Dating, Book 6

By: Katherine McIntyre

Narrated by: Richard Reynolds

Never fall for the straight guy—Jasper knows better. At least until his straight guy crush starts crushing back....

Jasper Tanaka has made an art form out of avoiding commitment. Which is why his crush on a nearby café owner, Matt, has been perfect—the guy is straight, vanilla, and far too sweet—everything that puts him out of Jasper’s reach.

Matt Reed’s always been unlucky in love, never enough for his partners. And when his most recent girlfriend dumps him, he decides to take a chance on something new—a rope class. Lucky for him, Jasper’s there, and their time together sparks an attraction that both surprises and captivates Matt.

When a developer’s offer threatens to shut Tabletop Tavern down, Jasper’s grasping for any distraction possible—and Matt offers the perfect one. Except the intense feelings between become far too real, and if Matt decides this was just a curiosity, Jasper won’t survive the loss of the one guy he’s let in and the only home he’s ever known.

Roll the dice on romance at Tabletop Tavern....

"Yes sir" I squealed! Was not expecting that.

Another beautiful story with a stunning performance. I love Richard Reynolds portrayal of Jas and Matt. it's hard to read about parents that don't support their children. It's even harder to hear it. That performance was heartbreaking. I love that Jas and Matt don't have the stereotypical relationship roles.

heartfelt and unexpected

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest opinion.
My newest favorite from the Dungeons and Dating series. This author really knows how to make you laugh, cry, and blush! Jasper and Matt are totally sweethearts and oh so sexy! I kept thinking I know how the story would go, but kept being surprised. The narrator did a fantastic job! 👏

Cozy found family! Steamy found partner!

I really do love the found family at Tabletop! This was a nice wrap up of the series. Finally getting to know the snarky Jasper & sweet Matt! There was a little too much inner monologue repetition, but that’s fairly standard in a a McIntyre book, I’ve come to accept it. Seeing everything and everyone get their HEA was worth it.

The narrator Richard Reynolds was new to me. I didn’t always love how he portrayed the voices when they were speaking low. It was too wispy & airy, at times, but described stronger/deeper/more forceful. BUT he absolutely deserves a bonus for the the spicy scenes 🔥🔥🔥. Wow, was he convincing and I was sat!

Very Enjoyable

Great series and story, with fantastic characters, and an enjoyable narrator. I truly loved it!!

Excellent Narration and Found Family

This book had my heart so happy because of the found family in this one. Obviously the love story is sweet and I loved the biawakening but I am a sucker for a good found family. This group made me so happy. I love having a community that comes together to support each other. This book was wholesome while also have a bdsm subplot as well.
