Natural Twenty (Roll for Love Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Charlie Novak (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 942 ratings
Plants are easier than people—that’s Leo’s rule of thumb. After all, nobody really wants a man who looks like he belongs in a biker gang but would rather spend his time buried in books and flowers. It’s just easier to be single. Until he meets the owner of the new book shop.

Jacob Morris knows two things: he’s really attracted to the man who runs the local flower shop, and he doesn’t date. Not when he’s still healing from a bad breakup, has a new business to run, game nights to organise, workshops to host, and a website to build.

When friendship blooms into something more, Leo and Jay must decide whether to roll the dice and take a chance on love or keep forging ahead on their quests alone. Will their roll yield a one or a perfect, natural twenty?

Natural Twenty is an 80,000-word contemporary MM romance featuring Dungeons & Dragons, secret flower language bouquets, a spoilt Staffy (or two), and a best friend who is basically a gothic prince. It is book one in the Roll for Love series and can be read as a standalone.

    Leo and Jacob were precious. Leo is a man who normally intimidates many people with his tattoos, and just how big he is. But he’s really a big softie who just wants someone to love and spoil. Jacob has gotten out of a relationship with an absolute jerk. So he’s still trying to heal. They were so sweet together and I loved how Leo was able to help Jacob heal without really trying extra hard. He was just his sweet, lovable, accepting self and it helped so much. The third act breakup just tugged at my heart and made me tear up, and I do love how they made up and came back together. Would definitely be interested in reading more of this world!

    Story 4 out of 5 stars

    An endearing story!
    Natural Twenty was a very sweet story, made even better by the narration of Joel Leslie! There was a lot of internal dialogue, which, if I was reading instead of listening, would have probably taken me out of the story a little. But thanks to the wonderful Joel Leslie, I didn't mind it so much! I'd listen to him read a phone book if it came down to it.
    Leo and Jay were so cute together. That's what really stood out to me about this story- just how sweet and cute the whole thing was. It's a very light-hearted read, with just a tiny touch of angst, that thankfully didn't play out too long.
    Both Jay and Leo wanted to take things slow, but things actually moved at a pretty quick pace between them. It wasn't quite insta-love, but it was close. Although I didn't mind because they were so good together, so good for each other.
    The secondary characters were great, especially Edward.
    I loved the epilogue! It was exactly what an epilogue should be, it even made me tear up! Although it did give away Edward's story to an extent, I'm still looking forward to reading his book.

    I loved the small town feel, how it seemed like such a wonderful place to live.
    I've read so many books this month that take place in small towns, with a bookstore as a main focus, I think they're all trying to tell me something...

    Natural Twenty was such a lovely read. I loved the flower shop and the bookstore. I loved the snippets of the dnd game that we got, and the cute doggy, and of course, all the geekyness! It just made my heart happy.

    I really liked how Jay and Leo started off as friends and build a relationship off of that foundation. They may have had some communication issues, but I loved them together. I also loved the queer-platonic relationship that Jay and Edward had. And the fact that they were tumblr besties first just made it so much better!I also really loved all the representation that this book had! It was all just so casual and smooth and it was fantastic.

    Did I mention that I loved Jay’s bookshop? Because I really do love it and I wanted to spend hours browsing in it. I hope we get to see more of it (and the flower shop) in future books. I think I fell head over heels for this book and I don’t know what to do with myself now. I can’t wait to read more! This was a lovely read and I’m giving it five stars.

    Wasn’t sure how to rate this. It was enjoyable and I liked the MCs, but after reading some other reviews I have to agree with some of the negatives. I’ve read books with similar characters and towns that were a bit more developed. The author tries hard to create conflict late in the book, but it’s pretty weak. The characters essentially meet, are attracted to each other, start dating, the end. Their e tire interaction is visit each other’s shops, playing D&D, reading fantasy novels, and watching an 80s sitcom together.

    They each have one other friend and there’s a sweet dog. A lot of talk, not enough action or development. For instance, the author makes a big deal about the characters piercings and tattoos, such a big deal at the beginning that I assumed once the characters disrobed we’d get a lot of detailed tattoo porn, but they’re barely mentioned again. The characters wonder how many tattoos the other has - how much of their bodies are covered - I still don’t know. We are told that Leo’s tattoos are all flowers and vines that form sleeves but that’s the extent of the description.

    Jay’s friend Edward is a super interesting character and I want to read his book. I hate, though, that the author chooses to tell us about Edwards’s HEA in the Epilogue is this book. I mean, it’s not surprising, but still annoying to get that spoiler. I really dislike when authors deep dive in to super nerdy niche hobbies. It really draws you out of the story when you have no idea what they’re talking about. This book does that with Dungeons & Dragons, but it was actually pretty well done here. It was more sweet than annoying. Edwards’s book will be like that with cosplay and steampunk, but the author did a decent job of describing his costumes so hopefully it will be okay too.

    If you want a super low angst, nerdy, easy read with sweet characters that are entirely on the same page the entire time, then this is for you.

    I was looking for m/m books that are on audio and when I saw the title of the book and series I was excited. I was also surprised I hadn't read it already and assumed I must not have seen it before. But no, there it was on my Mixed Reviews shelf. Which makes me wonder if I should do away with the shelf altogether.

    I personally loved the book. I thought it was really neat with the flower meanings and all. I would've loved if there was more D&D but understand the author couldn't put a lot in without running the risk of confusing people unfamiliar with the game.

    I have only one complaint and it's kinda silly. The dog was named Angie but for some darned reason my brain kept getting confused thinking it was referring to a human. Dogs with typical dog names, please!

    I switched back and forth between the audio and the ebook but I'd highly recommend the audio. Although it did drive me kinda nuts throughout the book trying to remember what other books I recognize the narrator from.

    4.5-5 this one is just a sweet low angst love story about 2 guys that own shops on the same street - the florist and the book shop owner, the perfect recipe right?!
    I love the dynamic and banter between these two. It’s a story of right place, slightly wrong time but when you one it’s the one you find a way. I devoured it.
    Another great book from Charlie Novak - great plot, great characters, great side characters too!, and fab spice. Can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

    This was exactly the kind of sweet romance I was looking for. Grumpy, tattooed florist meets geeky new bookseller. There's dogs. The spice is spicy. The friends are wholesome. The 3rd act complication is reasonable and resolved by-- wait for it-- communication! It's a cute, healthy relationship and I'm shamelessly continuing on to book 2 now.
