The Love Wager by Lynn Painter Book Review
Jack: That falling-off-a-building feeling the first time you kiss someone is just perfection.
You know that feeling you get in your chest when you read a really good love story? Your heart swells, your pulse quickens, you’re kicking your feet and squealing? That was me with this book. I didn’t think it was possible for Painter to top herself because Mr. Wrong Number is a masterpiece, but…she did.
This book was funny, sweet, sexy, two-halves-of-a-whole, once in a lifetime kind of love amazing. Jack and Hallie meet when she’s bartending his sister and best friend’s wedding (yes, Olivia and Colin!!!!) and what ensues is a super hot night of slutty wedding sex. But they later connect on a dating app, and through mutual dating woes, become best friends. Until they both want more, and it all comes to a head in Vail at HER sister’s wedding. Lord I just love these two so much. They were both hilarious and sweet and soooooo hot. They both wanted to find love, and wound up finding so much more than they ever dreamed of.
Lynn’s writing is beautiful. Her prose flows well. She’s hilariously talented, and creates characters that you feel like you’re living right alongside. I wanted to live in this story forever.
Thanks for the review, adding to my wishlist.
