Betting on the Boy Next Door by Melanie Jacobson, New Release & Book Review

 

Book Summary:

I'm a nurse who wants to be a rock star—a secret I don’t even tell my best friends and roommates. So when one of them—Ruby—gets it into her head to find me a man, I can’t explain why I don’t have time for her matchmaking. Ruby turns it into a bet to make sure I go along with it. I say yes, but won’t matter. My ex taught me the most important thing about men: you can’t count on them.

When Ruby picks the worst possible guy for me, I know I’ve got this in the bag. Sure, our brand-new neighbor, Josh, is hot, but he’s the privileged scion of an Austin family whose money is so old, it’s dusty. Been there, done that, and I’m not going back.

The thing is, Josh isn't easy to shake, especially not after he discovers my secret double-life. With the help of a fake dating scheme, a cursing parrot, and our late-night balcony talks, I’m starting to think he’s a risk worth taking—even when all the evidence says I better run.

My Review:

This RomCom is everything! Jacobson easily had me laughing out loud and smiling. I found myself devouring this story. I couldn’t get enough of Sami, Josh, Ruby, Ava, and Madi! I adored Grandpa Jim and Grandma Letty. Can she adopt me too? The bet between Sami and Ruby is an awesome part of the entire story. I loved the deeper emotional family side as well. Figuring out who you and what you really want. This isn’t just another run of the mill RomCom. This has it all! Depth, emotion, laugh out loud moments, and romance (the clean kind) with smoking hot chemistry. I found myself grinning from ear to ear while reading this book. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! I hope Jacobson hurries and writes it quickly *please*, I need more of these amazing friends! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
