About this listen
Hatred is complicated, clothing is simple — Edward doesn’t need a man, and he certainly doesn’t need cosplayer and tattoo artist, Izzy Montes, a.k.a. The Masked Gentleman, Edward’s ultimate nemesis.
Edward and Izzy have been antagonising each other for over three years. Their rivalry is fierce, and Edward is determined to keep Izzy at arm’s length. Which would be all well and good... if they weren’t engaging in a secret, heated hook-ups.
Forced to appear together at a film premier in LA, Edward is determined to get in and out with minimal damage to his reputation... and his heart. But Izzy Montes proves to be a complication Edward couldn’t have predicted. Biting, funny, and charming in equal measure, he’s the one man Edward needs to loathe.
He’s also the one man Edward can’t get out of his mind.
Not that Izzy plans on letting him.
Charisma Check is a 80,000-word contemporary MM romance featuring comic conventions, snark, many costume changes, and only one bed. It is book two in the Roll for Love series and should be listened to as part of the series.

Tension, steam and cosplay!!
Such sweet nerdy goodness!
Full of wit, humour, angst and hate s*x, one moment I'm laughing out loud and the next I need some ice water.
I loved Izzy and Edward! their banter and back and forths are hilarious and the shift in their relationship was a long time coming. I really loved how Charlie approached the enemies to lovers trope with these two, it was refreshing and honest. With hate s*x to let off steam, tension always building and the slow growth of feelings it was refreshing to see these two realizes and admit their true feelings! and thank you Charlie for no silly hiding, miscommunication or denial! Communication is key!
Such great characters, passion and heart and even though I have know idea about D&D, I wasn't at all lost. Now I'm dying to know about all the other characters!!! So good!

Edward's voice
I'd loved the story first time around in ebook format, with the banter between Edward and Izzy, in their mock enemies relationship, they are too good to be truly enemies and there was always a spark between them.
Joel Leslie does a fantastic job of elevating the story, adding a little more bite to their interactions and his Edward voice is just perfect. I don't think I'll re-read it without hearing him saying the words.
Plenty of spice since their relationship is based on a benefits without the friendship basis.
Edward is one of my favourite Charlie Novak characters for his love of wearing clothing against gender convention and his love of toys.

MM, Contemporary Romance. A fun story with snark, sweetness and heat. I laughed so much while listening to their story as it's so funny it really lightened my mood and was just what I needed, I really enjoyed it and thought that Joel Leslie's narration was perfect. Guaranteed HEA.

Those two!
Story: I must say that this story was quite a challenge for me. While I like difficult characters, the level of pigheadedness those two MCs presented was really trying. The level of animosity made me think they are twelve! :D They sure are complex and unique, but boy did I want to smack them upside the heads.
The story is entertaining and very well written. I was very curious as to how the author will make it work and I was not disappointed in the least. And the overall feel of the book, with the cosplay surroundings, was awesome and something I did not encounter before this series, so kudos for an original idea.
Narration: The accent in this one was a bit much for me at times, but that is mostly a personal preference. The voice is nice, the narration emotional and clear. It was easy to follow despite my non - native English speaker status.

Disappointing
For an artist like Joel Leslie, it would have been better if he stopped narrating if he did not feel like it anymore. This is so very uninspired. He does not bother to give the MC each their own voice and glosses over nuances like 'spoken words' 'narration' and 'thoughts'. I had to slow him down to 70 %.
The story might have been nice with a good performance, who knows. I did not notice any characteristics in both MC's. And I certainly did not care how the story was going to end.
