The Valentine Wager

“Like most of life, love happens whether you want it to or not.“ Kitt is looking for a fresh start after her last disastrous relationship. She didn’t figure on meeting Ryker. They’re hilarious together, especially their very first meeting during a traffic stop. And the chemistry is just oozing out their pores. She doesn’t need a man in her life, though, and they enter a wager to keep each other in the friend zone. I loved seeing the Flaherty brothers (Kitt’s cousins) and their families - a shameless plug to advise that you really need to read the Four Irish Brothers Winery book series. I loved seeing Ryker squirm - he’s a hopeless flirt and struggles to remember that they’re just friends. I want to be like Kitt when I grow up - she doesn’t take crap from anyone. I’m so glad to be back reading in River’s Edge, and truly looking forward to more in this series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh how I loved this sweet and endearing story of love in bloom but held back by a wager. Kitt and Ryker have sparks aplenty. Kitt challenges Ryker to just be friends because she does not believe in a player like Ryker can do it. Who’s in more for a surprise: Kitt or Ryker? I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
