An accidental meeting and a misunderstanding lead to a life-altering connection.

A new job, a new city, and hopefully a new life. When chubby gamer Oliver Barnaby receives a job offer from the best boutique game developer in the country, he leaves his family and his less than spectacular existence in Oklahoma without a second’s hesitation. Determined to change more than his career and his geography, Oliver implements a plan to finally land a boyfriend. Step one is improving his skills in the bedroom.

A life that looks perfect on paper, but feels empty in reality. Attractive, successful, charismatic Jaime Snow has a life other people envy. His already booming business is growing. He isn’t lacking in friends. And he has no trouble finding a date. But there’s an emptiness in Jaime’s heart and a hole in his life that only the right man can fill.

An accidental meeting, a misunderstanding, and falling in love. When Oliver and Jaime end up at the same bar at the same time, they each see something they want in the other. Going to bed together that first night is easy. Building the lifetime relationship they both desperately crave will require trust, time, and a little misunderstanding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!

This book was wonderful. I loved that Oliver is a regular guy - not a perfect body. I loved that Jamie is only attracted to big guys. The combination makes such an enjoyable read!

Somewhat disbelieving as if a rich handsome sexy man would fall in love with a nerdy tech guy. Kind of like the bbw books, would love for them to be true but Brad Pitt wouldn't fall in love with Erkel.

4.0 out of 5 stars So good
Reviewed in Brazil on July 4, 2021

I loved this couple, so sweet and perfect together. My only issue was with Jamie greeting Jack with a peck on the lips in front of Oliver. I wouldn't like to see my boyfriend greeting his ex with a kiss on the lips, but maybe that's just me. I would love to read a story about Jack finding love and being happy, because he deserves.

Not realistic though in a contemporary setting, but both MCs are adorable!
It is a « feel good » book, almost like a fluffy blanket, no drama at all! I have reread it several times.

Not a Game was a sweet, low-angst romance. I read it in one sitting and found Oliver and Jamie to be absolutely adorable.
