Review:
The Wager is a contemporary romance novella, and an optional read in Author Rene Folsom’s new Playing Games series. It gives the backstory to the first in her new book series, Game Changer.
At a New Years Eve party, Maci, a covert science fiction author dressed as Marvel’s Black Cat, meets Liam, the lead developer at nZone Games cosplaying The Phantom of the Opera. Only neither know who the other is. In the midst of a wonderful night together, they decide to place a wager. Whoever wins in a game of Super Smash Bros. gets whatever they want, and what both of them want is each other – only in different ways.
That’s as far as I can go with describing what happens in the story. If you want to know what happens, then you’re gonna have to read this. And by the Almighty, you’re gonna want to read this novella!
Rene Folsom once again flexes her writing muscles with this amazing story. It’s hard to make something so short so awesome, but doing that is Rene’s forte. She blends comedy, romance, video gaming, and cosplaying into a perfect mix that’s titled The Wager. As a hopeless romantic gamer who likes to tell a joke, this was the perfect piece of fiction for me, and for any and everybody like me!
Five out of Five stars!
