Bet Me to Stay

3.5 stars

This is a fun little romance, with some cute characters. I wasn't completely hooked by it, but I never thought about giving up on it, so that's a plus.

One thing I really did like was that Liam, our main character meets Cassie when she is wearing baggy clothing– she isn't great looking here and that's what he thinks, BUT he does start to be attracted to her because of their conversation. I was worried he would wait to start liking her until he saw her in better clothing, but phew~ we dodged a bullet there. After that, I found the couple to be really sweet. Of course, friends with benefits never works, and it barely worked long here before we see them wanting more from each other, without them even realizing it.

I think the thing that lowered the rating for me is that I thought this book would be about more than just sex, but there is just so much of it. Which is great if that's what you are into, but for me I prefer more story.

The ending seemed almost too easy and I didn't 100% like how the conflict was resolved. I believe public displays are undo pressure on the other to give in to the other.

A decent book and I heard that it has been edited and changed up some more, so if I ever get to reading it again I will see if I like it anymore. So please take my rating with a grain of salt.
