One word. GRANDMA!! Dear god I love that woman... She just brightened up my day
“Grandma just said ‘sex’.” Jake commented behind Char. “I think this is my favorite night ever.”
“And you!” Grandma pointed the gun at Kacey. “Stop tempting him! He’s a boy! He can’t help his urges.”
“Just kidding,” Jake said. “ ‘Urges’, ‘urges’ trumps ‘sex’.”
“Now! The both of you, back into your rooms so you can put this fornicating business behind you!”
“There it is,” Char whispered. “The winner of the night.”
“Fornication.” Jake held out his hand from behind Char. She gave him a high five before they slowly closed their door"

I absolutely loved this book. The Bet was an awesome book and this just added so much to this story! I LOVE GRANDMA! She is just perfect! Jake and Char are great characters to live with through this book. You laugh hysterically, you cry your eyes out and you just end with such a super good feeling! I can't wait until the next book to see what Grandma has in store for the rest!!!!!! Great job!

I wasn't going to continue with this story after the first, because it was so so to me. I am so glad I did though, because i thoroughly enjoyed this book. Grandma is everything in this book. She is hilarious with all the hoops she makes the characters go through.

Yay! :] I love this series. I'm glad that Jake got his shit together and finally found happiness. I love Char too. She's a good female main character. She's not as cool as Kacey but I still really like her. I loved how we still got to hear about Kacey and Travis. Those were my favorite parts of this book. And you have to LOVE Grandma Nadine. She's so great. I wish there were more Titus brothers so that this story could keep going on. Maybe we'll get to hear about Char's sister and the senator (I forgot their names haha). I would like that :]

3.5 Stars!!
This is kinda really funny...!
Cause I wanted The Bet to be a little longer. And I couldn't wait to finish this book.
It was too long!
I really did like the grandma in Book 1. But in this one its like she's controlling every damn thing. And it became irritating at times:(
But the book did make me laugh at times.
I got a little of Kacey and Travis. So no complaints on that regards.
So if you are looking for a good laugh and happen to like meddling grandmas..
Pick the book!!!;)

ARC received for honest review
We first met the Titus brothers, Travis and Jake, in The Bet. The Bet is about the love triangle between Jake, Travis and Jake's best friend Kacey.
Following on from The Bet, The Wager is Jake's story with Kacey's other best friend, Char.
Char had a crush on Jake when they were kids, but he hurt her then. Years down the track he hurts her again after one night and a horrible morning after.
Now she is paired up with Jake at Travis and Kacey's wedding - awkward.
Char tells herself that she can't let Jake sweet talk her again, her heart just couldn't take it. But the Jake of today seems different - but is he? Always the womaniser - rich, successful and sexy as sin, what woman wouldn't fall for his charms?
The "wager" in this book is who can be the better matchmaker for Jake. Travis and Kacey think their friend Jace is just the man to sweep Char off her feet. Grandma Nadine just know that Jake and Char belong together.
Gotta say, I love Grandma Nadine. I want to be just like her when I hit my 80s!!
Nadine is a spitfire of a woman, loves to meddle in everyone's business, still has her booty calls with the neighbour. Awesome! She is the heart of the story, and steals every scene she is in.
Nadine's antics to keep Travis and Kacey from the "marital bed" for the week before the wedding are hilarious.
Nadine's shenanigans to get Jake and Char together are brilliantly executed - all in the name of the wedding of course. And what she ends up doing - bravo Grandma Nadine, bravo!
The chemistry between Jake and Char is tangible. Explosive even. They go from bouts of lust and tenderness, to fights like you can only have with people you truly care about. Their's really is a love/hate relationship. Their shared history adds fuel to the fire for their arguments but also to the passion they feel for each other. This history also gives a lot of fodder for their witty banter. Who could not love them (even if occasionally I did want to castrate Jake!)
The mutiple POV's give a great insight to what the characters are thinking and feeling at the time.
Rachel van Dyken has written another of my favourites of the year. I loved The Bet, but I LOOOOOVE The Wager from the prologue to the epilogue. Cannot wait for more.

60% and I can't go on... not that it's bad. It's just that I can't take the female lead. She is stupid and dumb and she is making me mental. I liked the writing.. like granny and out male lead who is a slut but a nice slut but man am sorry the only reason I am giving up this is because of that stupid character. So.. byeeeeeeee
