Description
Morgan has felt left behind since her best friend moved away. On a quest for something more, she dreams of stepping out of her comfort zone and maybe becoming her own knight in shining armour.
Jack's life isn't going to plan. The small-town life he retreated into after a bad break-up is starting to feel less idyllic and more isolating.
Trying to write new, more exciting stories for themselves, they lean hard into weekly role-playing games with their friends and plans for a fantastical Renaissance Faire adventure. But as they embrace the magic of their alter egos, is it possible they might just be falling for each other in real life?

Absolutely delightful! This book had me laughing out loud and swooning in equal measure. The characters are loveable, the humour is spot-on, and the romance is heartwarming. A perfect feel-good read!

This book was so entertaining that I read it in a single day. Short but sweet and I loved the role-playing game part because it reminds me of my friends in high school who used to dress up to go to the local renaissance fair back in my hometown of Los Angeles, CA.

I was invited by the publisher to read this book. I really loved that the Renaissance Faire was a backdrop to this book - readers who love that world as well as smaller towns should read this book just for that element alone. I also liked the characters becoming familiar to each other through role playing - I thought it was an interesting take by the author to bring two people together who maybe didn't have the confidence as "themselves". My personal tastes like a little more oomph with the romances - this was a bit slower for my personal liking, but I felt like there was adequate chemistry between the two characters and I really, really enjoyed their personal adventures coming out of their comfort zones, putting themselves as individuals first, and growing as a person.
Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollinsUS/One More Chapter for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 4/5
Release Date: 13 August 2024
In this charming romantic comedy, two souls yearning for adventure find love through the unlikely world of role-playing games.
Morgan, feeling adrift since her best friend's departure, longs to break free from her routine. She dreams of becoming her own hero, ready to write an exciting new chapter in her life.
Jack, disillusioned with his small-town existence after a painful breakup, finds his once-peaceful retreat increasingly stifling.
Seeking escape and excitement, both Morgan and Jack dive headfirst into weekly role-playing game sessions with their friends. As they plan an epic adventure for an upcoming Renaissance Faire, they begin to embody the bold, magical personas of their characters.
But as Morgan and Jack lose themselves in fantastical realms and heroic quests, something unexpected begins to take shape in the real world. Could their in-game connection be blossoming into a real-life romance?
“You’ve Got Chain Mail” is a heartwarming tale that blends the whimsy of role-playing games with the charm of small-town romance. Perfect for fans of geek culture, Renaissance Faires, and love stories that celebrate embracing one's true self.
This fun rom-com offers:
- A celebration of geek culture and role-playing games.
- Two endearing protagonists finding their way to each other.
- A charming small-town setting.

This is an cosy romcom, that is absolutely delightful, a story that you can easily lose yourself in, a story where fantasy and reality intertwine, proving that sometimes the greatest adventures - and the truest love - begin with a roll of the dice.

I was captivated from the start by the Renaissance Faire setting, which provides a charming backdrop, especially for readers who love the ambiance of small towns. I found the author's approach of bringing two characters together through role-playing, helping them discover new aspects of themselves and gain confidence, particularly intriguing.
All in all, a fantastic book! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read it.
