Publisher's summary

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.

Betting On Love

I recently finished the second in Cindy Steel’s- A Pride and Pranks Series. Logan and Tessa both find themselves back in their hometown for the summer. Logan is Tessa’s best friend’s older brother and childhood crush. Tessa has basically sworn off men after her last relationship went south. And Logan hasn’t turned into the type of man who you would date seriously. Their friend Jake places a bet that these two must date over the summer and thus the crazy fun begins. From mud fights, fun dates, and a few swoony kisses these two must decide if love is worth fighting for! You won’t want to miss this one. This book is second in the series but can be read as a standalone & is dual point of view. If you enjoy childhood crushes, forced proximity, the double or nothing bet, & a few swoony kisses this book is definitely recommended.
And I loved the narration.

So fun

This storyline is clean but still with toe curling moments and angst and excitement and frustration in all of the best ways! Oh man I loved listening to this story!

Sweet, clean romcom

Anyone who enjoys authors who keep bedroom doors closed and minimal swearing in their romcoms will enjoy this. I really didn’t love the male narrator but I think the female was excellent!

Great story, bad call on narrator

First of all, this author has quickly become a favorite. What adorable stories! They’re happy, funny, feel-good plots and I often find myself grinning while I’m listening. I read the first of this series and half way through it i put this one in my library as well.
I was thrilled to see two narrators. those are my favorite. I love getting both perspectives and i prefer clearly distinct character voices. But- and this is a huge “but”- when a story about a 20-30 something is told in a voice of what sounds like a 50-something… i just can’t. It’s wrong. Aaaallllll wrong and. I. Cant. This one had terrible casting which is incredibly disappointing! The story itself is so good but totally mauled by Logan’s old-man voice.
If narration isn’t a make-or-break for you and you love happy romcoms, i highly recommend the listen!! However, if, like me, you find it hard to picture a character 20 years younger than his voice, buy the physical book and enjoy the story :)

An excellent book made even better!

This is such a fun & engaging story as it's written, but the narrators were so good at conveying the characters - at one point when the hero's dad is talking to him, they both get choked up, & the male narrator nailed both voices so perfectly that I was getting choked up too! It's not often that I like the audio version better than the ebook, but this one is one of those rare gems!

Great story, loved the two views

Thank you for another great book! Loves the his and hers points of view. Easy read, just felt like the male voice could’ve been a little younger and sexier. But still a great performance!

Love this one!

I loved this books. Fantastic romance and laugh out loud dialogue. Will definitely listen again!

Loved it SO much!!!

Defiantly a five star listen! Just as good as the first book! I loved having the two different readers, they both did a great job! This author is a new favorite of mine!!! Clean and fun!

Cute and flirty

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was just as good as the first one which often times is not the case. This book made me laugh and had sweet moments. Good read!
