Synopsis

"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 bestselling 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 page is turned.

“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

Goodreads review by Kat on November 08, 2022

Another romcom causing such an extreme overwhelm of emotion that I am compelled to dump text about it on Goodreads? Seems about right. We follow Walker and Aja, who are both recent transplants in Greenbelt, South Carolina. He’s returned home to care for his injured grandmother and she’s trying to sta......more

this was cute! and surprisingly steamy 👌🏻 but i’m unsure about the romance itself. i enjoyed the mental health rep and the hero was fantastic. but i think i wanted more light hearted moments and more time spent in this sweet small town. i mean in a technical sense the whole book is set in the small t......more

Goodreads review by Kezia on August 27, 2022

This was extremely sweet and so REAL! Slaughter did not hold back on what the characters were feeling, instead, she gave us enough for us to understand and connect with the characters immediately. We get a lot more individual character development and less relationship development which I usually do......more

Goodreads review by Chelsea on June 16, 2022

3.5 rounded up to a 4! Omg, I do believe that I have found myself a new romance author to obsess over. The tone of this book was honestly unlike that of any other romance I've ever read. It somehow perfectly straddled the line of being sexy while also being quirkily cute but also being extremely hea......more
