GRR Reviews Bet Me (Lucky in Love) by Lila Monroe

Bet Me managed to create a novel out of a meet-cute, and it's real zinger of a meet-cute. Too bad the rest of the novel didn't quite match the brilliance of that scene.

Lizzie ran into a series of bad dates that she created a video for her sister and BFF stating that until men step up their game, she's off the market. Except her "man-fast manifesto" got uploaded to Youtube instead, and it went viral. Suddenly, every man wants to bed her, and a magazine allegedly offered a prize to the man who can break her man-fast. But the one guy she had on her mind was the guy that she works with now, and they had an embarrassing encounter years ago... when he fell asleep tasting her, leaving her just shy of the big O...

From there the novel managed to deftly juggle "hot for boss", "accidental fame", and "secrets and lies" tropes, but somehow, none of the subsequent scenes quite matches the image of a tremendously frustrated Lizzie getting, uh... Can't say that here. Still, it's a fun novel about the girl getting the guy.

Primary Plot: Woman on "man-fast" is suddenly tempted by all sorts of guy, but she only wanted the hot boss she can't have...
