What to expect

'Sweet, charming, and wonderful!' Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop

When Sadie Brooks unexpectedly loses her marketing job, she flees New York City to spend the summer with her best friend in small-town Texas, where joining his Dungeons & Dragons campaign is the perfect distraction while she plans her next steps.

In the game, she becomes Jaylie, a powerful human cleric blessed by the Goddess of Luck. But in real life, Sadie believes her luck has run out - until she meets Noah Walker, the outgoing bartender roped into joining their party as Loren, an adventurous and charismatic lute-strumming elf. Just as Jaylie finds herself succumbing to the bard's charms over the course of their party's travels, Sadie also begins to fall under Noah's spell.

As their relationship progresses in both worlds, Sadie wonders if what they have might last beyond the game. But like his travelling bard character, Noah never stays in one place for long. When a new opportunity arises in New York, Sadie must face the truth about why she lost her job in the first place - and whether she and Noah have found something in Texas worth staying for. Torn between her career dreams in the city and the exciting uncertainty of a new adventure, she will have no choice but to roll the dice.

Library Journal, starred review
What a delightful debut! Roll for Romance is full of wit and charm, with a satisfying side of finding yourself while pretending to be someone else. Watching Sadie and Noah-as well as their in-character counterparts-fall for each other was as satisfying as rolling a natural 20!
Jen DeLuca, author of WELL MET
As cozy as it is utterly charming, Roll for Romance is a loving ode to the bonds formed between D&D players and the magic of finding your own community. Woods lands a critical hit with this adorable romance

A scintillating, sexy romance filled with spells and self-discovery, Roll for Romance will charm you and have you willingly failing your saving throw.
