We're excited to feature Lynn Painter's latest rom-com, The Love Wager, today. It sounds like such a cute story and we know you will enjoy it. Thanks to Berkley, we have one copy for a lucky reader!
Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs onto the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she snuck out of.
After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realize they’re each other’s perfect wing-person in their searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.
Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together.
Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they both struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.
Lynn Painter lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband and pack of wild kids. She is a community columnist for the Omaha World-Herald, as well as a regular blogger for their parenting section. When she isn’t reading or writing, she can be found eating her feelings and shotgunning cans of Red Bull.

Usually as a joke, if someone doesn't believe something, I'd say, ok, 5 euros for me if it's true, of for you if it's false
I makes "bets" with my kids usually about something I know I am right about!
I make a bet with my husband almost daily, I usually win. lol
I don't usually make bets or wagers, but when I have, it's usually something silly like guessing the spelling of a word or the name of an actor, etc.
I enjoy making bets with my sons for fun. Also with my husband since I win.
A bet with a friend about a book title.

I made a wager with my husband before Christmas about his Christmas gift- HE LOST!
Not since I was a child.
It has been some time--since in college re who would win in a football team and the winner had to do housework for a week.
I don't normally make bets on things. If I did, it would be with my son and in jest.
I don't think I've ever made a real wager/bet with anyone. As a joke I would say "bet ya ..." but of course it was never a real bet.
I can't remember the last time I made a wager (or bet) with someone so I'm guessing it must have been a long time ago!
I don't make bets or wagers
Just last week
Last week I bet my son I could ski down the mountain faster than he could...I lost.
