The Love Wager: The addictive fake dating romcom from the author of Mr Wrong Number

Product Information

A fun, flirty, and timely read from Painter ( Mr. Wrong Number), with likable characters to boot.”— Library Journal I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.*** Well let me tell you I couldn’t put this one down and finished it in two days (there were these things called sleep and work that got in the way of my finishing it in one day!). he objectifies. he harasses. he doesn't take no for an answer. he repeatedly deliberately sabotages a relationship his so-called best friend is really excited about, via childish antics and blind entitlement.

I LOVED this book! Read this if you love: fake dating, bookish/Jane Austen inspired banter, heroes who fall first, flirty texts, dual POV' 5* READER REVIEW I already know this is going to be one of my favourites of the year . . . Just perfection. I want to read this book again already' 5* READER REVIEWI can't wait to read a new book in this series. Will it be about Hallie's roommate? She seems like an awesome character. The Love Wager is only my second book by Lynn Painter and so far her writing is fun, full of banter, easy to read, interesting without crazy drama. Basically the quintessential romcoms, without being cringey. Because they took any potential relationship off the table from the get-go, it seemed like they were able to just be themselves with each other which was so refreshing and which really built the foundation of their friendship and connection.

Ugh. Whatever. I need to stop but I'll just say one last thing: the ending was so abrupt I literally thought I had a misprint. Turns out I didn't. I guess Lynn Painter had enough. And if you made it to this part of the review, you may be surprised by what I say next. YES, I would read another book by her. I think when she's funny, she's legit funny. Maybe this was just a bad one FOR ME. Maybe she's got other bangers out there. I see the vision. Stay tuned.

Customer reviews

Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with . . . I highly recommend both books in the Mr. Wrong Number series if you like witty, sarcastic humor, romance with some extra spice, and a light, fun time. I’ll be eagerly waiting for Book #3!
