Publisher's summary

Never make a bet with a man who plays to win....

Especially not a man like handsome, arrogant Connor Pratt. A.k.a. the huge PITA who's currently crashing in my spare room. A.k.a. my brother's best friend since they were about six. A.k.a. the one guy who still makes me feel like an awkward tongue-tied loser.

But when Connor moved in, I got a glimpse of another side of him. Because, like me, Connor's going through a nasty break-up. And, like me, he's just doing whatever he can to get through it.

Unfortunately, his method involves drinking alarming amounts of whiskey and watching a lot of, um...movies...that make every inch of my skin flush. I'm just trying to be helpful when I tell him that he should try my method: copious amounts of baked goods, sappy romantic comedies, and late nights spent whining with girlfriends.

But I should have known Connor would take that as a challenge. Now, he says he'll try my way of dealing with a break-up...but only if I agree to try his. Six month's rent to the person whose method works best.

We call it the break-up bet. And I'm going to win. Except right now, it feels like there's a whole lot more at stake than just rent money....

Contains mature themes.

Good storyline

I've read the reviews over the narrators and I agree with them all. She's speaks slow, monotone, and sounds older than I imagine the character. I a risky preferred her soaking portion FAR better than his. He spoke WAY too fast, like a squirrel on espresso! He spoke too energetic for the mature male role and his female voice sounded like Pinky from the original Grease movie. It was almost too much for me to even finish.

The writer should really vet this before releasing the audiobook. I know it was his voice but it makes me almost shy away from her stories. 😑

I love a good friends to lovers story. This one was 🔥

I loved the story line and all the spice lol. The book was also short and sweet. Made me kind of wish it was a little bit longer.

The storyline

I thought this was a different storyline then any book I've read so far and it kept my interest. I was hesitant about the book in the beginning because I am not a fan of the male narrator but luckily the female narrator spoke more than he did so it turned out okay.

Great story

Loved the story but male voice is annoying, thank goodness the female narrated the majority. Female sounds way more mature while the male sounded more like a hyped up teenager.

Funny and Cute ❤️🍪📱💙

Connor and Lucy are both great characters. She’s funny and sarcastic. He’s sweet and sexy.

They show that break-ups aren’t always a bad thing. They can lead to something better.

Nice ending as they combine her love of food blogging with his tech expertise. Fun listen.

Female narrator is great. Not a fan of the male narrator. Luckily I can speed it up so it sounds better.

A great storyteller

I actually love Alexander as a narrator. The female has a nice voice but I needed a little more from her, she was a little flat for my taste. Alexander is more dynamic. The girl in the book ultimately gets to a good place but man, she was difficult for me to like which was surprising as I have liked the other female protagonists in Cat’s other novels. Can’t wait for Tess’s story!

Great story, made worse by male lead

The storyline was good - a really easy listen with some spicy parts. The only downside was the male lead, whose voice was equal parts frat boy lilt and whiny drawl and his impersonation of the female lead’s voice was so awful it made it hard to find any appeal in him.
