You guys, this book is such a cute read OMG! I absolutely ADORED Hallie and Jack. These two were such cuties mygod! And this was such a short point to point read I absolutely enjoyed it. Can’t say I loved loved it because it felt a bit flat, maybe because closed door romance isn’t really my drill, but the banter, the ‘non-taco-date’ nights, everything about this book was fun, witty, and hilarious. And the fact that I enjoyed a book that was a third POV which is a huge deal. A very very strong 4 star read for me.

The perfect book for a quick flight! The FMC and MMC’s chemistry and friendship was cute, but I gotta be honest: the “deal” just felt silly. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the storyline, but I feel like if they just… dated each other first they could have avoided months of wasted time? But then there would be no book, soooo nevermind!!

Spice was… wait I can’t remember. So must have been low. Maybe like 2.75-3/5?

I enjoyed this book. It was fun and flirty, also made me want to travel to Vale, CO

I have read a lot of Lynn painter books and I think they’re good stories but one thing that always bothers me is that all of the fmc are pick Me’s

Love Wager is about a two people who wager on who can find their true love first, but when they realize there are slim pickings, they decide to attend a wedding together as a fake date, but the date didn’t turn out as planned. Love Wager is fun, steamy and has 100% could-not-put-downness. Lynn Painter knows how to pull the reader in and hold their attention with smiles, laughter and a bit of steaminess.

It's a good bad book.

References pride & prejudice a lot (some good, a lot less so)

Lynn did it again! Loved the banter and the friendship. Predictable but a good easy fun read.
