Goodreads Synopsis: 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. Bet on It by Jodie Slaughter | Goodreads Thank you to Jodie Slaughter, MacMillan Audio, and NetGalley for providing me with the audiobook of Bet on It for me to listen to and review. What a unique story! I absolutely loved the reader of the story and how they added such personality to each character with the voice, attitude and tone used for each person. Slaughter did a wonderful, respectful job of showcasing main characters with anxiety and mental health struggles and their ability to manage and overcome these challenges. There were quite a few more f-bombs in the story than I was expecting, but it wouldn't have had the same emotion without them. There were many laugh-out-loud hilarious moments alongside plenty of family drama and sexual tension galore. Definitely a story that contemporary romance readers will love. 4 Stars!
