What a great way to spend a few hours!
Light-hearted, rom-com with an opposites attract, enemies to lovers storyline.
Min is an actuary who's always thinking in terms of statistics and probabilities. Relationships are more about likelihood of sucess rather than unquantifiable things like love and attraction.
The book opens with Min being dumped by her less-than-stellar boyfriend David three weeks out from her sister's wedding. Min has body confidence issues thanks to her mother's constant fixation on her shape and diet. Min is voluptuous and under pressure to lose weight for the wedding. When David made some deprecating comment about it early in their relationship Min decided she didn't want to get naked in front of him, and so had been resisting his sexual advances.
Cal is a serial dater. He's not looking for anyone long term. Great-looking, successful and confident. He leaves his ex's well-satisfied, but heartbroken when he leaves.
Turns out David is a client of Cal's company. After too many drinks at the bar they all happen to be at, David bets Cal he couldn't get Min to sleep with him. Cal (being a decent human) doesn't agree with the whole thing, but ends up betting that he could take her out to dinner. Through circumstances, Min happens to overhear some of the conversation regarding the bet and she decides to 'let' Cal take her out to get back at David for being an ass, figuring she will make Cal pay for taking the bet somehow too.
Hijinx ensue. Cal and Min start out on the back foot and though they clash terribly, fate has other plans for them.
Great secondary characters, especially Min and Cal's friends. A fun read, well worth its high star rating. I'd definitely read more from this author.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.
RE-READ 2024: still a top-shelf read.
