Bet Against Me

De: Fiona Riley

Narrado por: Melissa Sternenberg

Trina Lee would sell her own mother’s house out from under her if it meant securing a sale, no joke. Her reputation as a ruthless deal closer and her record sales year in Boston’s luxury property market should’ve landed her Realtor of the Year, so when the award goes to new girl rival Kendall Yates, Trina is left speechless. And, okay, turned on.

Kendall made more enemies than friends the night of her big win, but she couldn’t care less. She’s the best, and she has the obnoxious glass paperweight to prove it. This is the edge she needs to escape the shadow of her family’s reputation. When her boss accepts a friendly bet that she can close the holy grail of property deals, she’s not about to fold for anyone. Especially not to overly cocky and annoyingly beautiful Trina. Even if it breaks her heart.

Another amazing story by Fiona Riley..

I read the hard copy a couple weeks ago because I couldn’t wait for the audio. I was hoping Keira Grace was attached to the audio to be honest. She completely knocked Not Since You out of the park. I’m not complaining about Ms. Sternenberg narration, just felt this would of been an amazing read by Ms. Grace because of all the wonderful characters. Maybe she will be picked for Bet The Farm. Or even Lori Prince.. both are amazing at bringing the pages to life.

Great story!

This book is classic Fiona Riley. A great storyline, diverse characters, and the trademark steamy sex scenes. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Always amazing!

Fiona's books never disappoint! Originally read "Bet Against Me" in print and then gave the audiobook a chance. The narrator was amazing and kept me on the edge of my seat. I may have cried a little...well, actually a lot! Let's not forget...it was hot!

I hate my father😉🌹

Why did I give this review the title I did to introduce this review? Well, after listening to the entire story, I thought back, without giving anything away, that the story could have been cut by two thirds if one of the major characters said those four words. Perhaps you won’t agree, but I will continue by saying that I am glad she did not👍.
I enjoyed the entire story as the plot roller coasters with humor, passion, anger, disappointment and elation, and above all love (after all it is a romance lolol) toward an ending that made sense.
While the major characters were very multi-dimensional, many of the minor characters were kind of two dimensional. Normally that is a negative but in this case it helps to move things along.
In addition, the story is very passionate and often very sexy, but not gratuitous.
What’s better than being in love with the two main characters who can drive you to distraction as their personalities clash and eventually meld into a plausible ending.
BTW, by the time you finish listening, you will realize why I placed a red🌹in the introduction.

The issue itself wasn't really the story

Trina is a shitty person, she is extremely toxic and is definitely a bully. Kendall let's her constantly treat her like shit and never stands up for herself. I wanted to like this one because I like Fiona Riley but this brought up a lot of trauma for me and I couldn't get past these characters immaturity and how unhealthy this relationship is.
