Library Journal: Jennifer Worth is a devoted fan of the “Elytheum Courts” series of romantasy novels, so she eagerly seizes the chance to attend a special immersion event for super fans like her. To her utter surprise, her work rival, Scott Daniels—who’s never shown interest in the series—is also there. Their strained professional relationship has always been strictly business, but when they both join a high-stakes scavenger hunt, Jennifer begins to see a different side of Scott. He is no longer the rude coworker who only wants to engage in professional topics; now he seems to be flirting with her. As the competition intensifies, so does the chemistry between Jennifer and Scott, and they both realize that competing against each other has always been fun. Jennifer is left questioning whether their blossoming romance is as magical as the fantasy worlds she adores or if she’s just tricking herself into believing things between them can last in the real world.

VERDICT Readers who enjoyed Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game will love this charming enemies-to-lovers story, and it will be adored by anyone who’s passionate about their favorite book fandoms.
