Proficiency Bonus
By Charlie Novak
Roll for Love, Book Three
Organising yourself is harder than it looks—Lewis may be a highly proficient PA for two very successful cosplayers, but that means nothing when you’re living at your parent’s house after yet another failed relationship and trying to find some stable ground.
Jason Lu, star of Celestials, is stuck between a rock and a hard place. When the show is cancelled and his character pigeonholed into a homophobic ending, Jason must choose whether to fall in line or break ranks. But one misstep will mean bumping heads with some powerful people.
Teaming up with the very cute guy he met at Comic Con seems like a natural first step and now Lewis and Jason must choose between heartbreak and justice. As they forge ahead, they realise there are no bonuses for navigating life’s challenges, instead they’ll just have to fight for what they believe in.
But sometimes overcoming the biggest hurdles yields the best results.
Proficiency Bonus is a 79,000-word contemporary MM romance featuring plushies, Pokémon, and a fight for the perfect ending. It is book three in the Roll for Love series and can be read as a standalone.

Special Release Teaser:
Lewis POV
“I’m sorry, but who are you?”
“Oh shit. Sorry. God, I really need to remember to introduce myself. I probably look like an arrogant twat.” He reached out his hand to shake mine, and when our fingers touched, something sparked under my skin. “And now I’m giving you static shocks.” He chuckled in an adorably self-deprecating way. “I’m so smooth. I’m Jason.”
“Lewis.” Jason’s hand was warm and smooth against mine, his grip firm but gentle. I swallowed. Focus, Lewis, focus.
“So, Lewis, can I get you some coffee? And then we could have that battle.”
“Yeah, that sounds great. If you’re hungry, the pastries actually aren’t too bad. I’ve had worse.”
Jason nodded, his smile widening. “Good to know. Hang on, I’ll be right back.”
He hopped out of the chair and strode across to the refreshment table, and I resisted the temptation to stare at his behind by casually sliding my phone out of my pocket and pulling up the convention website. It took me all of two seconds to realise who Jason was: Jason Lu, star of Celestials and a man beloved by more than just his own fandom.
I couldn’t believe I hadn’t recognised him. Even without his character’s snazzy fashion sense and dark, smoky eye makeup, Jason still looked enough like his character to be recognizable. And I’d seen his likeness enough times through manips, gifs, and fanart that I was familiar with it. I just hadn’t been able to place him.
Celestials wasn’t my favourite show, but I’d dipped in and out. Mostly because I’d seen a ridiculously hot gifset of Jason and another man training together, which had rapidly devolved into them making out on the mats. Turned out, the actual scene had been even longer with phenomenal amounts of sexual tension that had had me melting into my seat. I’d watched it about a billion times on YouTube.
And now, apparently, we were going to play Pokémon together. Because that was apparently a thing I did now?
My review:
★★★★☆
I love nerd characters and Charlie writes amazing romance for them. I enjoyed this book just as much as the other two in the series.
Bonding over Pokémon? Best starting scene ever!
Loved the slow-but not too slow burn, Lewis and Jason really needed time to get to know each other more, and I love texting scenes in books (those are my favorites like ever). When the characters are texting or speaking on phone/ face timing, those are so sweet and tells many things about them.
Jason's job and everything around the Celestials-series was interesting, but some point it was a bit too much. At the end of the book I was bored with those, but aside that I really enjoyed the book. They got perfect ending and their love story was super sweet to read about.
Loved when everyone was there from the series and they watched the last episode of Celestials. This series got a great ending, I really enjoyed reading these books.
