The Love Wager by Lynn Painter

The Love Wager


Author: Lynn Painter
Rating: 4⭐
Genre: Romance (friends to lovers, fake dating)

Review:
This book was really good! I loved the banter and the relationship between Hallie and Jack. Lynn Painter never fails to write a good romance. This book was definitely on the shorter side, but still enjoyed it all the while. Hallie and Jack are absolutely adorable and I just love friends to lovers and fake dating so much and this book had both! I love how they knew everything about each other before catching feelings. Jack fell first, which made this book so enjoyable to read from both point of views. I was definitely laughing out loud and blushing on the spot while reading this! I 100% recommend if you are looking for a quick, light, and fast paced romance book! 

Synopsis:
Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it's time to become a full-on adult. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs on to the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack Marshall, the guy whose room she snuck out of.

After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realize they're each other's perfect wingperson in their searches for The One. They text about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don't go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.

Spoiler: They get a lot of tacos together.

Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first--but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. As they pretend to be couple, lines become blurred and each struggles to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.

  Lunar Love Author:  Lauren Kung Jessen Rating: 4⭐ Genre:  Romance Review: I really enjoyed this book for a variety of reasons. If you're looking for a quick and cute romance read, I'd highly recommend this; but, if you're looking for something that's a bit more unique and engaging, I'd choose a different read. I'm not saying that this book wasn't unique though; learning about the Chinese zodiac signs and culture was very interesting and new. I also loved the amount of character development that there was for the main character, Olivia. She learned a lot and grew in so many ways as a matchmaker learning about love for herself. There really wasn't anything wrong with this book, but there wasn't anything super special either. I finished it pretty quickly and it was just an easy read. Overall, I would recommend this book for a quick romance read (maybe in between some heavier books) but it wasn't as great as the potential held. Synopsis:  Always a ...

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

  The Cruel Prince Author: Holly Black Rating: 5⭐ Genre: YA Fantasy Review: I really enjoyed this book! I didn't really know what to expect going into it because I hadn't read the faeries book before this for more context, but I felt it wasn't needed. I loved the interesting point of view of Jude because at times, she definitely could be a dislikable character. While this book was mainly fantasy, there was a sub-plot of romance that will hopefully be continued in the next 2 books! I also thought the plot twists were carefully curated and really amazing. The sister (twins) drama between Jude and Taryn was also very engaging and added a bit more to the original plot. Overall, this was an unexpected 5 star read and I highly recommend! Can't wait to read the next books! Synopsis: Jude was seven when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong t...
