The Love Wager by Lynn Wagner releasing March 2023. Jack and Hallie started out with a one night stand. But then became best friends, trying to encourage each other to find their soulmate. But why does their times together always seem to feel like it is right instead of with any other person. Could these best friends have feelings for each other. This is a great feel good romance book

Lynn Painter is such a staple author for me. I've always enjoyed reading her books and The Love Wager was no different! This book had best friends to lovers and a one night stand. Hallie and Jack are so perfect together. She's such an amazing FMC and Jack was sarcastic and funny and I fell for him so hard. The heat in this book was a little hotter than her past books as well!

Thank you #Netgalley for an early read of #TheLoveWager

It was awesome to have two fun-loving YET SUCCESSFUL main characters. No one is a hot mess, no one lives and dies for the job as a work-a-holic, but they are just normal, well adjusted people. I loved Hallie and Jack's banter and chemistry. This book is like a great cocktail - one that goes down smooth and gets you all full of giggles and warm feelings.
Thanks so much for the ARC!

I absolutely freaking loved this book! Wonderful banter, hysterical laugh out loud moments, sexy swoon worthy moments between two super fun characters! All the wonderful rom com feels and great fake dating, single bed tropes! Can't wait to hand sell this to our customers! So fun!

Screaming at the banter in this book!!! The flirting was everything. The plot was natural and made sense to go from friends to lovers. I loved hearing both POVs and I would love to have a bonus chapter of both couples.

So funny, sexy, and charming it's almost unbearable. The chemistry is so good, I inhaled this in one sitting! How dare you, Lynn Painter, how dare you!!!

Overall fun and enjoyable. I wish there had been fewer tropes and more scenes with greater depth as a lot of things were shallow. I simultaneously was wishing for more and less.

The kissing in the rain scene and the constant references to “one bed trope” removed me from the story.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.
