I liked this one, but didn't love it. In terms of the actual story itself, I thought it was pretty sweet and a decent low-conflict romance; I usually hate bully / enemies-to-lovers romances, but the author here gave Milo a good enough reason to have behaved badly in the past, and it was easy to empathise with him and not just immediately find him irredeemable. I also didn't find the whole gamer thing as distracting in this book as I did in the first one. It was much better integrated into the narrative.

That said, I really didn't like the writing style of this one. I absolutely didn't buy that this was the narrative voice of two men in their mid-twenties. It read exactly like the internal monologue of a 14 year old girl, and it just felt kind of weird trying to imagine that this was the thought process of two adult men. It also meant that the saucy scenes, which were quite a bit more explicit than those in the first book in the series, felt disjointed and out of character.

I dunno, I just feel like there's something that's not clicking with Albert's writing style in this one. I did enjoy it overall, but I hope the next few in the series feel less like YA novels.
