Review also on my blog 
 Strong Signal is a romance novel that has your attention from the first page. The romance doesn't take its time to come, Garrett and Kai meeting early, and having chemistry almost immediately. They had great banter from the start, especially since they hadn't met yet. And the build up to them meeting was wonderfully written, and keeps you anticipating their first meeting. When they do eventually meet their chemistry only intensifies. 
 Both of the main characters were very well written. Garrett is in the army, and is because if a from a class standpoint as his hometown lacks opportunities. While his father is dead and someone he was estranged from, he still had a good relationship with his mother and his sister. He wasn't out as gay to them, due to his father's homomisia, but they were both supportive when he did come out to them. Kai's situation is less than ideal, his estranged father is in likely prison and had spent much of his life going between family members. Yet, both or independent. Garrett has a strong work ethic and Kai built himself a life thanks mostly to streaming. 
 The online culture was woven into the story really well. The authors clearly had an understanding on how people can make money online while writing the book. Even the element of a fanbase. 
 The romance was a great one, along with great chemistry they also had great communication throughout the book, and were supportive of each other, especially when it came to Kai anxiety. Definitely a new favourite romance book and I look forward to continuing the series.
