My Review:

Double or Nothing is the second book in the series and I recommend reading That Fine Line before diving into this one. 

 I struggled with this book. I did not like the narrators voice, they just didn't seem to fit the story (obviously personal opinion!)

What I liked:

🛻Idaho setting

🛻friends to more

🛻best friends brother

🛻LOL moments

🛻witty banter

🛻Jake the matchmaker

🛻the epilogue

What I didn't like

🛻too many make out sessions (I know it's a romance but it was just over the top for me)

🛻the over use of "Logan Marten"

🛻mild cussing

Overall, I think I would have enjoyed it more had I read it, rather than listened to the audio book. 

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

My best friend’s older brother is back in town.

Do I care? Not one bit. Logan may have been my childhood crush, but I’ve always been little Tessa to him. Not to mention, he’s turned into a shallow flirt and I’m not looking to get played again.

What’s the problem, you ask? (Besides all the flirting.)

Thanks to a scheming mutual friend, Logan and I find ourselves embroiled in a bet of absurd proportions. Now, instead of ignoring Logan and keeping my heart safely locked away, we have a date every Saturday night and a kiss looming on the horizon.

And the line between us is getting… muddy.

As long as Logan stays the shallow flirt, I’ll be fine. My heart is safe from the player. It’s the man underneath giving me a run for my money.

  1. It's a cute premise. Too bad the audio version wasn't better.
