The Wager

By: Rachel Van Dyken

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Bet: a TV reporter's childhood crush comes back into her life—but after disappointing her in the past, will he get a second chance this time around?

The Wager

Lose a bet, lose your heart...

What is it about a junior-high crush that can send an otherwise intelligent woman into a tailspin? TV reporter Char Lynn wishes she knew. Jake Titus is too rich, too handsome, too arrogant: a trifecta that once lured Char into the best night—and worst morning-after—of her life. Now they've been thrown together in a wedding party. It's awkward, but survivable...until Jake stops acting like a jerk, and starts acting like the man she'd always hoped he could be.

If watching your brother marry your best friend is weird, being attracted to your best friend's other best friend is downright bizarre. Unfortunately for Jake, Char hasn't forgotten how he once tossed her aside. Worse still, Jake's already nutty grandma is even crazier about Char. Cue meet-cute shenanigans and all manner of meddling, and somehow, Jake's falling. For Char. Now all he has to do is make her believe it...

Critic reviews

"Laugh-out-loud fun! Rachel Van Dyken is on my auto-buy list." (Jill Shalvis, New York Times best-selling author of the Lucky Harbor series)

The Bet & Wager

Hysterical! Both books made me laugh until I cried. Those kind of books are the best!

YUK!!!!!

Horrible!!! The narrator killed this book. Her voice was often childlike and she sounded like she was rushing to get to the end of story just like I was. As bad as she the weak story line and superficial characters and ridiculously unbelievable grandmother character were even worse!!! Was NOT worth the sale price!
