Publisher's summary
"Jodie Slaughter is must-buy author, and Bet on It is a perfect example of what makes her writing delicious. Aja and Walker’s story is hot, sweet, and utterly unique, with a rock-solid emotional core." (Talia Hibbert, New York Times best-selling author of Act Your Age, Eve Brown)
The first time Aja Owens encounters the man of her dreams, she’s having a panic attack in the frozen foods section of the Piggly Wiggly. The second time, he’s being introduced to her as her favorite bingo buddy’s semi-estranged grandson. From there, all it takes is one game for her to realize that he’s definitely going to be a problem. And if there’s anything she already has a surplus of, it’s problems.
In Walker Abbott’s mind, there are only two worthwhile things in Greenbelt, South Carolina. The peach cobbler at his old favorite diner and his ailing grandmother. Dragging himself back after more than a decade away, he’s counting down the days until Gram heals and he can get back to his real life. Far away from the trauma inside of those city limits. Just when he thinks his plan is solid, enter Aja to shake everything up.
A hastily made bingo-based sex pact is supposed to keep this…thing between them from getting out of hand. Especially when submitting to their feelings means disrupting their carefully balanced lives. But emotions are just like bingo callers—they refuse to be ignored.
Jodie Slaughter's Bet on It is a heart-stoppingly fun, emotional romance that will have listeners falling in love until long after the last word.
“Bet on It reads like the first rays of sun on your face after a long winter. I loved Aja and Walker's story about two genuinely good people who are playful and sweet to each other, helping one another heal, while also having incredibly hot sex. With standout portrayals of beautiful, generous friendships in addition to the love story, this is a book to be savored.” (Rosie Danan, author of The Intimacy Experiment and The Roommate)
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Griffin.

Story
Hi, I'm Jordyn. I flew from New York to Culver City, CA to interview for the job of a lifetime. When I walked into The Bookstore, I only wanted a steamy romance or two to help pass the time before my big meeting. I walked out with a cinnamon roll who was more funny and charming than all of my favorite book boyfriends combined. Mike was irresistible, and the time we spent together was more fun than I've had in a long time. But I'm smart enough to know if something feels to good too be true, it probably is. I mean, happily ever afters are just for fairy tales and romance novels...right?

Divorce attorney RJ would never describe herself as romantic. But when she ends up officiating an unplanned wedding for a newly engaged couple in a park, her life is turned upside down. The video of the ceremony goes viral, and she finds herself in the unlikely position of being a sought-after local wedding officiant. Spending her free time overseeing “I dos” isn’t her most strategic career move, but she enjoys it, except for the type A dude-bro wedding planner she’s forced to work with.

But if he doesn't clean up his act soon, he may find himself reliving the glory days from the discomfort of an empty mansion. That's where I come in, Myka Johnson, PR rep to some of the industry's hottest artists. I get results and make a lot of money doing it. So, when Meteor Records hired me to work my magic on Osiris's leading man, I jumped at the chance. There's only one problem: No one told me the job includes falling for the rockstar.

Story
Benjamin Chase is not my type. He's abrasive. He's arrogant. He doesn't take anything seriously. I'd die before I dated him, but he has something different in mind. He has to get married in the next nine months, or he loses his company to his ex-wife. And apparently I'm the most eligible bachelorette in town.

For the first time in my life, I'm living for myself - not for my parents and their ridiculous expectations. I gave up on my MBA, dropped out of the Ivy League, and moved to Portland to pursue my dream of becoming an artist. And what's the first thing I do? Get knocked up. For a tatted-up sex god, Braxton Henley seems way too eager to "be there for me". Is this guy serious? Maybe. He sure is patient. Because he won't back down until I admit what I know in my heart: that our one-night stand might've led me to the one.

I fell in love with Holden York when I was six years old. Most of my youth came with spiral notebooks filled with doodles, wedding plans, and "Janelle York" looped in bubbly handwriting. However, one night in Vegas changed everything. I woke up to more than just a fantasy of my brother's best friend. Five years later, I'm standing on his doorstep confronting him about the secret he kept from me. If you think this is the story of how we rode off into the sunset together...You're so wrong.

Very good story
I really enjoyed this story. This is my first Jodie Slaughter experience and I will definitely look into her book offerings. She handled mental illness delicately. I can tell she spent time researching symptoms and treatment choices for different types of anxiety and I appreciate her efforts. I wish she had spent some time researching bingo. Then she would know the highest number on bingo cards is 75, not 92. For me, small details like this really take away from a story because as soon as I hear
or read something I know to be incorrect, I’m spending time asking myself, did she just say G 92, and my mind immediately distracted because I’m thinking, wait a minute… Those moments take away from my enjoyment of the overall story. The narration for me was slow. Her voice was pleasant and I kept expecting her cadence to change for each character, but it didn’t, so I had to listen at 1.2x speed. Otherwise I think Ms Pean did a great job. Again, I will most assuredly look for other Jodie Slaughter book, this One was worth the time and credit.

Sweet as a peach cobbler
The Oscar for best narration goes to Angel Pean. Wow! The delineation of all the characters and especially the male and female voices was awe-inspiring.
The story was lovely, interesting, passionate, educational, and in-pausable. I loved especially that even the supporting cast, the people of the town, went through change. That is a seldom seen, nice touch.
I recommend this well developed story.

Good Story, Narration Could Be Better
I enjoyed this book. I liked the focus on mental health for both of the main characters. The conversations around mental health were thoughtful and respectful. I also liked the presence of diversity in the characters. Issues of race were touched on accurately, but weren’t the main focus of the story. I could have used more of that, but wasn’t disappointed.
But, I didn’t enjoy the narration. I realized right away that the pace the narrator used was too slow for my taste. So, I sped it up for the whole book. I also thought the narrator could have done a better job of distinguishing the voices of the different characters. At times it was hard to know who was speaking. The male and female characters sounded mostly the same as did the older and younger characters. That was distracting enough that I may avoid audio books with this narrator going forward and opt to read the e-books instead.
But, if you can look past that, I think you’ll enjoy the book.

Great Story, But I Wish There Was More
I loved the story a lot. I think the characters in the book were fleshed out and definitely had their own personality. I only wish there was more of a romantic build up between Asia and Walker. Yes, they lusted after each other and brought each other comfort, but the romance element was missing just a bit. The narrator was a great choice for Asia. Overall, I enjoyed the story!
