Another “Gaming the system” book that is an excellent mix of sex and secrets, ohhh and a little cosplay. , , Jordan and April’s both has flaws. Jordan is a hot mess that is ruff around the edges, wiith his foul mouth and playboy history but as you get to know him better and he works through those flaws something wonderful happens. He finds the love of his life but not before creating a huge mess. He has put everyone in a difficult situation, and by not cleaning it up and coming clean has he jeopardize that chance at love? His company’s future? And his long time friendship? Can a bad decision leading into another be fixed before it’s too late? Or is it “game over” for jordan and april and the company he and Adam worked so hard for?
This entire series including novellas are smart, sweet, steamy and worth reading over and over again.
This is book 4 in Aubrey’s Gaming the System series and I fall in love with this series with each book I read! While I would recommend this book be read in series order – this is one that can be read / listened to as a stand alone (but again – better if read in order). This is Jordan and April’s story and right out of the gate I was completely captivated. April’s character is so relatable with her bad choices and strive to do the right thing. I just loved her! Jordan is a playboy with no will to reform but oh, how the mighty fall. I love his banter with best friend Adam which lightens the mood through the read / listen. I love the moral and ethical decisions that must be made and the character growth. References to the Scarlet Letter is also a big plus for me. Narration is perfection – I mean really, dual narration with both narrators having beautiful, smooth voices with pitch and accents done wonderfully – what more could any listener want?!? Loved everything about this read / listen! I can’t wait for more and to know William and Jenna’s story which we get a teaser on at the end of this one!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

This was such a fun and steamy forbidden romance! I am new to this series but fell hard for these characters and this world! April Weiss attends comic-con hoping to let loose and have a one night stand. What she didn’t expect, was for a video of the hottest night of her life to viral all over the internet! Jordan Fawkes, has been attracted to his new intern but has kept his distance. When she approaches him in his nerdy comic-con disguise telling him about her desires, he thinks he can help her out and get her out of his system as well. Now the video threatens the success of the project he’s worked hard on for several years. He can’t let anyone, including his boss, or April know it was him in the video. But the fiery chemistry between them is impossible to ignore, no matter how hard they try to fight it. Will they be able to keep their distance and protect the company from losing it all? I really liked April, she was smart, clever, and a bit naïve. She wants to do the right things, but sadly lacks the confidence and self assurance at times to stand up for herself and do it. Jacob was a billionaire and successful businessman, but had his own embroilments. Together they stumbled along the way, but helped each other become better, and stronger.
I loved the narration by Jason Clarke, and Kirsten Leigh. They really brought out the push/pull between both Jacob and April and allowed us to experience their vulnerabilities and growth, and their sexual tension was palpable! I really enjoyed this fun, emotional and steamy romance!
I REALLY enjoyed this story! It is filled laughter, love and gaming!! These two characters really pulled me into their story. I love a whole boss vs employee and hate to love and this has both! I enjoyed their conversations when they get together. They made me laugh and I could easily commiserate with some of their troubles.
The secondary characters are such a great add. Adam and Mia were a delight. I need their story now! Carrie of course I am not to like but without her there wouldn’t be any evil in the story.
I listened to this on audio. Jason Clarke and Kristin Leigh narrated this. They were amazing as all of these characters.
Loved Jordan and April the boss intern relationship was great. I loved the fact that they couldn’t fight their attraction to one another and that April was able to tame Jordan. You can’t go wrong with Brenna Aubrey’s books. They are a must read. This one is no exception!
A great addition to the gaming the system series. I really enjoyed Jordan and April’s story. I was not a fan of Jordan, at all, in the previous books I read. But the author definitely changed my opinion of him with this book.
This one night stand turned romance was funny, hot, and overall a lot of fun.
The switching to two other male characters for a couple chapters was a little strange and thru me off for a bit.
I also think too much blame was put on Jordan. He was pretty upfront about his intentions, but April still seemed hurt and surprised when he didn’t just change his stance because she was ready to be more.
I loved how much focus was put on the inequalities in society when it comes to men and women in sex. It was thought provoking without being preachy.
Both narrators for a great job in this book.
So, I really enjoy a good boss hole/grumpy alpha male but I found myself always asking ARE YOU KIDDING ME? With Jordan. I honestly still not sure how much I really like him. He was literally just a dick. Also, I don’t mind if my H is a playboy but the author really doesn’t need to go into detail enough to say he was with another girl 2 weeks prior and then after the H and the h hook up he is texting the other girl (nothing happens!!) but sometimes just saying the guy has a history and is a playboy is literally enough. Not to mention, I honestly think it’s sexier when the H is more selective in his partners!
Anyways, honestly I wasn’t impressed with Jordan and I wanted April to grow a set of balls. It was an okay read….
Very graphic. Struggled with the plot.
Ok, crazy plot to start this book, but I actually enjoyed it!
Audio review
Jordan’s story was always going to be a humdinger and it is! From start to finish Jordan and April are richly drawn, engaging and completely lovable, particularly April! Jordan has a lot of progress to make to fully realise his human card, and this story takes him on an often painful, but revealing journey. I lived the dual pov and with it the insights into these characters. April’s lack of self belief and Jordan’s walls take a huge amount of punishment to reach better days for both of them. Again, Jason Clarke and Kristen Leigh shone as narrators. They both possess the skill of inhabiting the story and the characters, bringing to fruition an audio experience which is of top quality and totally engrossing. I lived every second!
For the Win
Gaming the System, Book 4
By: Brenna Aubrey
Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Kirsten Leigh
Brenna Aubrey has been on my to listen to list for a while, and when this opportunity to listen came up, I grabbed it and I am so glad I did. Aubrey has a way of writing that sucked me in from the beginning of the book and kept me riveted til the end. It’s my kind of story. Not too angsty, just enough to keep the emotions running, and the story is totally entertaining. Jordan runs a gaming company, and April is his new intern. Little does she know, he is her anonymous one night stand…that had some consequences. Now the two are caught up in a push-pull romance, full of witty banter, steamy passion and a conclusion that just warms the heart. April is smart and pretty, but what she really wants is to make her father proud. Jordan is the perfect mix of charming and devilish. The two use their strengths to really pull the best out of each other without even realizing it. It’s a reality tv show with a conscience! And a blast to listen to.
With the narration team of Kirsten Leigh and Jason Clarke, the story comes alive. These seasoned performers bring out all the nuances of April and Jordan, making the conversation realistic and enhancing the story. I am going to go back and listen to the rest of this series!
