Publisher's summary

Never make a bet with a man who plays to win....

Especially not a man like handsome, arrogant Connor Pratt. A.k.a. the huge PITA who's currently crashing in my spare room. A.k.a. my brother's best friend since they were about six. A.k.a. the one guy who still makes me feel like an awkward tongue-tied loser.

But when Connor moved in, I got a glimpse of another side of him. Because, like me, Connor's going through a nasty break-up. And, like me, he's just doing whatever he can to get through it.

Unfortunately, his method involves drinking alarming amounts of whiskey and watching a lot of, um...movies...that make every inch of my skin flush. I'm just trying to be helpful when I tell him that he should try my method: copious amounts of baked goods, sappy romantic comedies, and late nights spent whining with girlfriends.

But I should have known Connor would take that as a challenge. Now, he says he'll try my way of dealing with a break-up...but only if I agree to try his. Six month's rent to the person whose method works best.

We call it the break-up bet. And I'm going to win. Except right now, it feels like there's a whole lot more at stake than just rent money....

Contains mature themes.

A great storyteller

I actually love Alexander as a narrator. The female has a nice voice but I needed a little more from her, she was a little flat for my taste. Alexander is more dynamic. The girl in the book ultimately gets to a good place but man, she was difficult for me to like which was surprising as I have liked the other female protagonists in Cat’s other novels. Can’t wait for Tess’s story!

Great story

Loved the story but male voice is annoying, thank goodness the female narrated the majority. Female sounds way more mature while the male sounded more like a hyped up teenager.

Cute Spicy Story

A mostly lighthearted story of young crushes turned adult love.
Wasn't crazy about the male voice actor, He came across as a bit overzealous at times, but it was tolerable.

Well Written

Really enjoyed the timeliness of this novel The careers are right for this time. Plus this growing up friends to lovers really sizzles and is heartfelt. Liked all the characters. Can’t wait to read the next in the series.

bad narration & ok writing

the male narrator completely ruined this book for me. his voice did not fit the character, it was annoying and his female impression was beyond cringe worthy. the female narrator did a little better but not by much. she speaks too slowly for me I had to speed up the book to double the speed just to finish it.

the writing was ok I guess. Lucy was a very annoying lead character. she came off as very judgemental and there was no real background as to y she believed Connor was such a playboy except that he was good looking 🙄. Since it was included in the membership I don't regret listening to it (even if I had to do it at double speed to get through it) but I would never buy it or waste a credit on it. I don't like to judge an author based on 1 experience but I will probably not be listening to or reading another Cat Carmine book 😬

Narrators🙄

Although I agree that the male narrator’s voice was a bit frat boyish the female narrator’s voice was way too mature for how immature the character was written.

Not really anything

The female character was week. Kinda pathetic. The male and female when out of character themselves is not appealing.
