Glitch

GlitchI’m obsessed with a woman I’ve never met. Hell, I’ve never even seen a picture of her, unless you count the cartoon avatar she displays during our online gaming nights. To Ara, I’m a quiet gamer who keeps a chat open in case she wants to vent about her day or her loser boyfriend. She has no clue who I am, what I look like, or that she’s the star in the filthy audio recordings I create for my personal pleasure.
When we finally meet face-to-face, I already know Ara’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a woman and there’s nothing I won’t do to have her. To keep her. To satisfy her. I just hope she can handle my intensity because I’m not going to hold back.
And no one else better stand in my way.
AraGlitch rules my thoughts and plays a recurring role in my dirtiest fantasies. When we finally meet, he’s nothing like I expected. He’s better. My mind short-circuits the instant he touches me. And when he says my name in his incredibly deep voice? Panty. Meltdown.
After my last relationship, I’ve been shy about starting something new. But Glitch makes me want to take this leap and there’s no denying how badly I want him. There’s just one itsy bitsy problem: my carnal appetite is insatiable.Will Glitch be able to keep up or will he shut me down once he learns what I like and how often I like it?
Note: This is a super spicy contemporary romance novel with all the BDE and very little angst.

I read Glitch by Briana Michaels to fulfill a prompt for the Romanceopoly Challenge I’m participating in this year (2024). The prompt was to read a contemporary romance in which one of the main characters is a geek or a gamer, and Glitch had two video gamer main characters. 

Sadly, this book wasn’t for me, and I should have DNF’d this book and picked up another book to read for the prompt. I don’t mind books that have a lot of spicy times between the characters, but I need more with the story other than them banging left and right and some cringy, dirty talk. Yes, I found myself skipping over parts of the book out of sheer boredom, and some scenes were repetitive and simply too cringeworthy to read. If I heard the MMC utter ‘Hey Kitty’ one more time, I was on the verge of losing my patience. Some readers may find ‘Hey Kitty,’ endearing, but for me, it’s a hard ‘No.’ 

I am glad that the two MCs, Glitch and Ara, who had been playing video games for a while, finally met because it was apparent they were into each other. Glitch did show Ara a good time and how she should have been treated because she had been dating douchebags the whole time. That’s the only good thing I got while reading this book, but I just couldn’t get over how he dirty-talked. 

I don’t mind reading instant love/lust in romance books because, in real life, people can know right away if they have a connection with someone, but this book was over the top. Plus, the whole time the characters were going at it, Ara was dealing with an obsessive ex, but he was only mentioned a couple of times, and then when he dealt with it, it felt rushed and anti-climatic. 

I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately, I need more plot, character development, and less cringe. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the series, but I may check out Briana Michaels’s other books. 

Just because I didn’t like this book doesn’t mean other readers won’t enjoy it.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
