Betting on the Brainiac

Betting on Love, Book 3

De: Melanie Jacobson

Narrado por: Devon Sorvari, Blake Lockheart

I have twenty million reasons to marry the nerdiest coder in Austin for a year…

When my roommate's friend needs a place to work on his software startup, I'm happy to let him use the daytime hours to work in my nightclub. The guy is harmless—super sweet, a little nerdy. He might even be cute if not for his hoodie habit and the fact that he thinks I'm a party girl airhead.

Then he hears an explosive fight between my father and me, and all my family secrets come tumbling out—including the truth about our wealth and the inheritance I won't get until I'm married. I know, welcome to the eighteenth century.

At first, I'm mortified. But then Oliver comes up with a plan to benefit us both. Unlock my enormous inheritance, right my parents' wrongs, make my business dreams a reality, and save his company.

We just have to get married.

It's a perfect plan. Until it turns out nerdy Oliver has charm, moves, and serious abs. When a kiss changes everything and blurs the boundaries in our marriage of convenience, can I trust his feelings? Or am I walking into a multimillion-dollar trap?

USA Today bestselling author Melanie Jacobson delivers in this closed door/just kisses marriage of convenience romcom. It's all swoon, no spice. Perfect for fans of Jenny Proctor banter, Emma St. Clair shenanigans, and Courtney Walsh heart.

Entertaining

This is a good and engaging book. It’s a contemporary matchmaking, marriage-of-convenience romance. There’s something about the story that felt a little off to me… but I’m not exactly sure what. Perhaps it was the amount of internal lustful thoughts, or maybe the masked dancing and kiss? There wasn’t anything terribly detailed in those things, though. Perhaps it was the FMC’s backstory with her family? Her job? Mission? I don’t know… Regardless though, the dialogue and banter between the characters is quite entertaining, and the relationship well developed. It has a good pace and held my interest throughout.

Content:
There is no sex or violence. The words “ass” and “damn” are used a couple times, but otherwise the language is clean. There is a lot of ogling, some innuendos, and a couple mildly descriptive heated kisses. There is no mention of faith or God.

entertaining

I like how she talks about the romance but she doesn't get explicit. I was hoping for more about Rosy but maybe that's in the next book. I was glad that Maddie could reconcile with her parents and sister.

Loved it

Loved it! A fresh and unique romantic story. Easy listening & captivating. Looking forward to next book from series.

Cute, clean and sweet!

I feel so grateful for clean romance and authors who care to write well! And love the Austin setting

Relationship with friends

Loved the story in general. Interesting storyline with main characters working close together; but not really with each other.

Great series!

Listened to all three books straight through! Funny banter between characters with a few interesting plot twists! Highly recommend! Now waiting for the next book in the series!!!
