Slick's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 I have loved Megan Erickson's Gamers series from the start, mainly because I like geeky/nerdy characters and this series has been full of them. In my review of the first book of this series, Changing His Game, I said, "And please don't tell me I'm the only one that wants to see Chad and Marley's best work friend Owen get together...I can't possibly be the only one that had that thought!" Well, guess what? Tied to Trouble is that book and I was pretty excited about it. I must give credit to all the fans like me who wanted this story, to Megan Erickson for fighting for it and writing it and to Entangled Brazen for choosing this book as their first every Gay (M/M) romance. This enemies to lovers story was incredibly entertaining and sizzling hot, but I would have liked to see them connect on a more emotional level something that never really seemed to happen. 
 As much as I loved Chad Lake in the first book for his witty, geeky and sometimes inappropriate advice he gave to his sister in this book I found him to be a bit immature and incredibly insecure. So much so that there were times I was thinking Owen could do so much better. There was no denying their attraction to one another or the fact they were compatible on that front, but Chad's inferiority complex became a bit much because over and over he let it get in the way of his happiness. 
 I have nothing but great things to say about Owen Hawkins and his bow ties...holy smokes not going to lie I thought of Justin Timberlake in glasses and a bow tie throughout this book. What I loved most is watching Owen start to believe in his abilities not only at work but as having something to offer in a relationship. When he goes all bossy toppy on the cocky Chad and leaves him speechless that was one of those priceless moments in this book. 
 While these two meet at a party thrown by Chad's sister and Owen's co-worker Marley and her boyfriend, Austin they get off on the wrong foot so when Austin asks their help with a big surprise he has planned for Marley they are thrown together and have to figure out a way to work together. Mostly though they seem to trade insults and then f*ck it out and I'm not complaining because there were some amazingly inventive and entertaining sessions between these two. 
 I pretty much enjoyed this book with the exception that I would have liked Chad and Owen to have a couple of really good heart to heart talks and for them both to see they had a lot to offer someone else. I really hate when people think they have to change to please someone else, that they can't be happy with the person they are. There just seemed to be a big emotional disconnect even though this book has a good ending. 
 While not my favorite in this series, I would not have missed this story for anything. I was happy with this paring despite my concerns and I look forward to what happens next in this wonderfully geeky series. 
 PS--I'm not much on graphic novels but I'd read the hell out of Dapper Dick!
