Series: Co-op Currupted #2
Streaming competitive military shooters isn’t just a hobby; it’s my entire life and somewhere along the way, I picked up a loyal following, including Carter Hart.
Carter’s been in my chat almost every night for the last year—sending donations, dropping sweet compliments, and always cheering me on. He’s the kind of guy who makes you feel safe, even through a screen, and after months of flirty messages and late-night voice chats, I finally say yes to meeting him in person. He’s everything I expected: kind, thoughtful, and a little shy. But what I didn’t expect?
Tate—Carter’s twin brother and my anonymous, masked gaming rival. He’s the one who’s been trash-talking me online for months and the one who pushes every button I have. One twin wants to worship me, while the other wants to ruin me—and I, on the other hand, want both.This is a taboo, high-heat why choose romance featuring twin brothers, a gamer heroine, and a whole lot of rules getting broken.

first things first
This was my first read by S.L. Gray and I certainly was not disappointed. I’ve been on the hunt for a romance centered around video games for a while and this story was exactly what I’ve been looking for!
main thoughts
This book was such a welcome read. Haven and Carter were so cute. The slightly slow-ish build up of their texting and the messages while she’s live-streaming was such a cute interaction. Once Haven decided she was going to make the trip to visit him, I knew she was done for 😉
The chemistry between Haven and Carter was obviously there from the beginning and I loved how they were both initially so nervous to meet the other. But once they met, whew 🔥The sparks were flying! Also, the way he was the inexperienced one…holy hell. Talk about hot af.
And then there’s Tate…Carter’s twin and the man who just so happens to be Haven’s gaming rival who’s been giving her a hard time for months. Oh, and did I mention he’s a masked streamer? Tate is basically Carter’s exact opposite. He’s intense and broody while Carter is loving and sweet. And then the two of them together…just a fricken explosion of hotness, to be honest.
Other than the obvious super steamy story line, I loved the video game content. I’ve been searching high and low for a romance with a video game story line and I’m so glad I finally found this one!
bullet points
- I loved the interactions between Haven and Tate. They have such a funny (and hot) dynamic.
- Haven’s bff is another fun addition and I’m totally shipping her with Carter’s friend 😂
- I’m hoping book 2 has some Tate POVs cause that was something I thoroughly missed

final thoughts
This is basically smut with a side of plot…and I loved every minute of it 😂 Normally, I need a little more plot, but I ended up loving this book anyway, lol. I can’t wait to read book 2!
If you’re a fan of fast burn MMF, you should definitely check out this book!
