Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets—will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?
Gia is living the dream with an amazing career and wonderful friends. Her life is on the right track, until a tall, broody blast-from-the-past breezes back into her life, sending her into a tailspin. She never forgot about Simon—her first love—or the way she cut him from her life all those years ago. Now, she doesn’t know what to do.
Simon never forgot the girl next door, or how she broke his heart when she left without even a goodbye. Thankfully, life as a professional gamer keeps his mind off his broken heart. That is, until he suddenly finds himself back in her path. Now he’s pushing her boundaries and testing her limits.
Simon and Gia have to find a way to coexist. They started as friends, and maybe it’s time to go back to the beginning. Only, this time around, being ‘just friends’ doesn’t seem to be enough. Simon has doubts, and Gia has secrets. Will they be able to let go of the past that hurt them both or will history repeat itself?

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I’m hot for the gamer!
One More Round is a second chance romance filled with great friendships, laughs and secrets that will keep you reading until they are all revealed.
My favorite part about this entire story was the way that friends treated Simon and Gia! It was so real and I would act the exact same way as them! I mean, of course you are going to give your friends crap when you see that they both have a thing for each other.
Even though Gia made some questionable decision, I understood it! I have two sisters and I know what it’s like to live in their shadow and want to be more than just their sister. Gia made her bed and she slept in it so to speak.
Then bring in Simon, the brooding man from the past. I don’t know what it is about a man that will sit there and just burn holes in you staring at you that is just so sexy. You just know that even if he is angry that he is really picturing you naked.
Simon when one more round with Gia, sticking his neck out for her when their friends were confused and lost by the situation that only Simon could help her with. He had her back, he became her best friend and protected her by staying by her side during one of the hardest times of her life.
I really made One More Round sound much more angtsy than it is. Yes. There is angst, but is also fun and flirty and I can’t wait to read more from Lauren Helms! Her characters are charming and the banter is witty!
