millionaire Jake Titus's mouth. It's been years since Kacey's seen her
childhood friend Jake, but the minute Jake mentions his ill grandmother,
Kacey is ready to do anything for the sweet old woman. And if that
means pretending they're engaged for her sake-so be it.But Kacey wasn't counting on Jake's older brother Travis still being there. She calls him "Satan" for a reason: she's never forgotten the way he teased and taunted her. Yet when they meet again, Travis's gorgeous smile is a direct hit to her heart . . . and Kacey's more confused than ever. As the days pass, only one thing starts to become alarmingly clear-she never should have accepted Jake's deal . . .

My Review...
I love a book that has humor, great banter, love and a great story and this series has it all.
This is a story about unrequited love, second chances, selfish assholes, loss and love
Kacey has always had one best friend and a pesky annoying older brother aka Satan. This best friend has been there for everything until she needed it the most and then he broke her heart.
Jake her old best friend calls in a favor to be his pretend fiancé and visit his dying grandma.
Once she's there she has to face her childhood nemesis and the secrets come out that maybe all that meanness meant something more.
Between grandma's meddling ways and there hilarious banter between Jake and Kacey and Travis and Kacey this book had me in stitches.
Loved it!!

THE WAGERLose a bet, lose your heart...
What is it about a junior-high crush that can send an otherwise intelligent woman into a tailspin? TV reporter Char Lynn wishes she knew. Jake Titus is too rich, too handsome, too arrogant: a trifecta that once lured Char into the best night-and worst morning-after-of her life. Now they've been thrown together in a wedding party. It's awkward, but survivable . . . until Jake stops acting like a jerk, and starts acting like the man she'd always hoped he could be.
If watching your brother marry your best friend is weird, being attracted to your best friend's other best friend is downright bizarre. Unfortunately for Jake, Char hasn't forgotten how he once tossed her aside. Worse still, Jake's already-nutty grandma is even crazier about Char. Cue meet-cute shenanigans and all manner of meddling, and somehow, Jake's falling. For Char. Now all he has to do is make her believe it . . .

My Review...
In the bet we meet Jake who happens to be a selfish asshole or is he????
With the help of grandma and another case of unrequited love Jake finally meets his match aka his soulmate.
Char who happens to be Kacey other best friend has always had a thing for Jake but has been twice burned so why can't she walk away?
This is Jake's journey of coming into his own with a hefty prize at the end. Love and forgiveness.
This book had me crying from laughter and crying from heartache.
This series has the perfect combination of fun and loving and heartfelt.
Loved it!!!
4.5 grandma loving thumbs up
