Fuelled by booze and boredom, Jac Lanier accepts an unusual wager from her best friend. Victoria, for reasons of her own, impulsively challenges Jac to seduce Lauren, her co-worker and a young woman Jac’s never met. Under the terms of their bet, Jac has exactly one month to get Lauren into bed or she has to pay up. Though Lauren is straight and engaged, Jac begins her campaign confident that she’ll win the bet. But Jac’s forgotten that if you sow an onion seed, you won’t harvest a peach. When her plan goes awry, will she reap the bitter fruit of her deception? Or will Lauren turn the tables on the thoughtless gamblers? Lesbian Romance Length: approx. 54,000 words

This was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. I’m not super interested in “the bet” trope, but then we kindof got past the bet pretty quick and the characters and relationship were actually interesting. The fiancee (competitor) was a bit of a caricature … but they often are, so it’s mildly forgivable. Then the secret comes to light at the 80% mark … and the resolution completely lost me.

But, as always, Anastasia Watley was amazing.

I’d probably read another by this author, as a second chance.
