First off. Picking up this book, just to read the authors note, would be totally worth it. I don’t think I’ve ever read one like it. So charming and funny. And gives a proper warning... because The Bet is hella STEAMY.

“If dessert is anything but an orgasm, I don’t want it.”

This couple meets when both are pretending to be someone else, and end up in a friends with benefits fling. Because Jude is a player, looking for no attachments. And Sophie is looking for her HEA. But can they both get what they are looking for?

Judes words ‘Wanna Bet?’ set the story tone up perfectly. I just knew this was going to be a fun story. And it was. But with some great feels too. Jude is that playful hero that could charm the pants off anyone. And Sophie, more shy, reserved, dealing with some things unrelated to Jude. But together they are dynamite! I loved watching their relationship transform. They seem to bring the best out in each other.

It was a bit long and a bit young in places for me personally, but nothing that kept me from enjoying the story. I like how the author duo normalized therapy. I enjoyed The Hangover movie references. And I loved all the family connection. Especially enjoying the comradery between brothers. You get a great feel for each of the brothers coming in this series and I can’t wait for their stories. This is my first read by this duo, but won’t be my last! A fun hot read you should check out!
