Resumen del Editor

Make one stupid bet, and suddenly, you're fake dating your hot new neighbor...

There is nothing like hiding a secret identity from your roommate besties to complicate... everything. And when they decide I need a love life makeover, I can't tell them why I don't have time for their schemes.

Retirement home nurse by day, lead singer of a rock band by night. Not on the schedule: Men. I'd rather cuddle with Bernice, the hangry boa next door.

I can't think of an excuse fast enough to get out of betting my prime parking space against them finding me true love, but luckily, they pick the worst possible guy for me.

Sure, our new neighbor, Josh, is hot, but he's from an Austin family whose money is so old it's dusty. Been there, done that, and I'm not going back to be broken again by a man just like my ex. This bet is as good as won.

The thing is, Josh isn't easy to shake, especially after he discovers my rock 'n' roll alter ego.

When a fake dating agreement, a cursing parrot, and our late-night balcony talks lead to kisses so hot they melt me, I'm forced to decide: can I gamble my heart on a society guy who is expected to settle down with someone exactly not like me?

USA Today bestselling author Melanie Jacobson returns with this laugh-out-loud romcom that delivers plenty of sparks without the spice.

Too much swearing

I did not care for the swearing and thought it was completely unnecessary. Otherwise, it was cute.

It’s okay to change your life

First meet, I see no chemistry, Sammie definitely isn’t looking for a relationship. Josh is struggling to have his family and work accept him as a good guy. Grandma and grandpa are my favorites. Their parents can’t see them as anything other than what they were.

So cute

This book was everything I love about Melanie Jacobson books! I read it when it was first released and just finished a reread via audio and loved it all over again! The narrators were AMAZING and brought the perfect vibes for the characters. I only wish we could have some of Sami’s songs recorded in the audio! 😉

I loved it!

I bought this book because my sister's bookclub is meeting the author in February for their book meeting. I truly enjoy reading romance so I bought the audible book and listened to it. I finished ii right away. This is how good it is. The story is fresh and the characters are interesting to follow. The voice actors are amazing. At one hour remaining I got a feeling of what the second book protagonist couple might be and I cant wait to read it. Loved it!

Good

This was a good story. I chose this story bc of Mr Lockhart. He never disappoint. Female was good as well. This is clean rom com and worth the credit. If you are looking for romcom and good characters, this one is for you! If you are looking for romcom with sex scenes, this one is NOT for you!

Witty, perfect romcom

Melanie never, ever disappoints. Her chemistry is spot on and her characters are smart, adorable Abe so likable.

so fun.. every thing I love!

this was so refreshing and full of clean fun. I love story like this. the characters are real and give hope for seeing things and people in a new life. I was cheering at the end.
