Synopsis
After a night of too many drinks, smokejumper Tony Warren and his best friend, photographer Kayla Gladney, come to the realization that they’re both bad at love. They even tried dating each other, but that crashed and burned, too. Now he’s got the hangover from hell and the certain conclusion he’s just a shit boyfriend. But Kayla thinks he’s a straight-up commitment-phobe.
So they make a bet—they’re going to hunt down his exes and decide once and for all why he’s so unlucky in love. Terrible boyfriend or commitment-phobe. Why does either answer feel like he’s still losing?
But between roadside burgers and late night detours, they discover some fires never burn out—like the one slowly smoldering between them. And suddenly losing feels a whole lot like winning again.
Review
This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Entangled: Amara!
Just a Little Bet is the second book in the Smokejumper series and tells the story of Kayla and Tony. Although this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.
I love second chance & best friends to lovers Romance books so when I read the synopsis of this book, I knew that I was going to like it. I really enjoyed reading the first book in the series, The Two-Date Rule, and the second book was really enjoyable too! I really liked reading about Willa and Grady again and I liked discovering Kayla and Tony’s story.
I really liked Kayla’s passion for photography, and I think she’s funny. As for Tony, I wish he’d opened up about his feelings sooner, but I guess that’s a typical man move. Besides that, I really liked Tony, he’s funny and caring. I think that Kayla and Tony are a great couple and I liked reading about them.
Just a Little Bet was a fun and fast-paced read and I really liked reading it. If I’d had more time, I would’ve finished this book in one sitting. Just a Little Bet is a quick and well written read, and I recommend reading the Smokejumper series. I’m really excited for the next book in the series!
