@DisturbedDeaddMan - I'm curious. Has Pixelberry said that they threw this together or that it is rushed? Unless they have, they could have been working on this for months. The idea could have been around for a year or more. There could be someone at Pixelberry that is super passionate about this story and really wants it to succeed and really wants to make it an amazing story.

Yes, there are things I would love to see from it (such as a crossover with Most Wanted since it takes place in L.A. and one of the known characters is a police officer) and yes, as a female player, I would really like to be able to play a male character.

Maybe I just don't know what on earth a bad boy romance is other than a romance with a bad boy as a love interest. And let's face it, this is Choices, that's not exactly surprising. Probably half of their books have someone who fits that mold. But also keep in mind that this is Choices. They will have at least two male love interests and they will have at least one female love interest, because other than The Haunting of Braidwood Manor name one series that didn't have that for at least one playable character (the main character of Rules of Engagement didn't, but her sister did) and The Haunting of Braidwood Manor did have a female love interest. It was just the second male love interest it didn't have (and in a book that short, two love interests was plenty).

As for forced love interests, yeah, Chris was the main focus (but let's not pretend that there was any way to avoid three characters having major crushes on you in that first book, so to my point of view they were all forced love interests . . . which gets particularly interesting for a person if they are trying to avoid romance . . . and quite frankly, Zig was almost a forced love interest during book 3, even if you had a love interest already, so basically, the only love interests in that series who weren't at least somewhat forced were Becca and Nathan, the latter of which was a snake who, as we all know, ultimately betrayed you no matter what) of the first book of The Freshman, but not really beyond that. And Beckett being a "forced" love interest is in response to demand for Beckett, so what we need to do if show Pixelberry that we don't want the bad boy, by focusing diamonds on a different love interest.
