“You fucking dazzle me, Landon.”
So cute!!!! I love how this author writes opposite MC’s. like both Casey and Landon had such different personalities, vibes, and physical appearance. But when they came together it was chefs kiss.
Casey loved people, always chatty? And Landon was quiet and didn’t like to be touched. But even though Casey was a touchy feely guy, he immediately saw that unspoken boundary. The two MC’s immediately just GOT the other person. I loved it.
I loved that it was spicy without actual full on sex. There was like all the foreplay and various jobs, but they found ways to be sexual and intimate without the actual penetration of it. And Casey was a reformed bi player versus Landon being a virgin unsure of his sexuality label. They just kind of went with what felt right and I loved that

“Did you fly across the country specifically to bully me? Because I’m kind of into it, not gonna lie.”

While I did really enjoy this, by the last like 30% I was over it. The ending dragged, and like there was sooooo much sex. I was like how can there be more 💀
The beginning was so so good. And as a whole I enjoy this series but this third one wasn’t for me

Overall it was good but i had mixed feelings. Some parts were really fun and others felt out of place. But I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.
Cory was fun and flirty, very charming. Doesn’t back down from a challenge. Total playboy.
Spencer immediately judged Cory based on the playboy thing and the money he seemed to have/flaunt occasionally.
After Cory parked in his spot and he blew up, the two kind of circled around each other from there. Cory was determined to win over Spencer. Spencer wasn’t interested in backing down.
I thought they had good chemistry and banter once Spencer got over himself and his prejudices
The book was called the bet but we heard very little about said bet.
10/10 grand gesture moment

This was grumpy x sunshine in the best way. It was done so well!!! I loved the banter, and how they could just rib each other back and forth all in good fun. The small but grand gestures to show they are observant and listening.
Fletcher fell SO HARD for Goldie. And little sweet pea!!! Fletcher was a ridiculously loving dog dad but it was so funny.

This was cute, and Charlie was the ultimate himbo golden retriever.
I needed more romance for Mr. Romance himself! He got like one grand gesture (and lots of random sandwiches) but a date or two would have been appreciated.
Liam and Charlie was super cute together. The short gymnastics king gets the hot guy everyone wants to date (and assumed they already were)
It was fun and I had a good time.

Very tense, and emotional. While the MMCs are taboo you can’t help but root for them.
Super codependent but you need their HEA.

Easy read, and predictable. But sometimes that is what you need in a book.
I enjoyed it overall, the characters had dimension, and it was an interesting storyline.

Ummm I did not care for it.
It was fine but nothing blew me away. I wasn’t excited about what was coming next, only that I wanted it to be over.
