Review: Bet Me -- Lila Monroe
Review: Bet Me - Lila Monroe - January 2017
One of my favorite
genres to read is Romantic Comedies, as I
always find myself chuckling away and feeling refreshed after a good laugh not
to mention a good book. Bet Me started off with Lizzie having a bad date after bad date and finding her Tinder
guys just aren't clicking. What she wants is that old classic romance like
Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, movie
stars like Clark Gable and Cary Grant.
After another bad date, Lizzie records a
message she believes is for her sister - a rant about how she is going on a Sex
Strike and about how real romance doesn't exist anymore. What Lizzie doesn't realize is that she accidentally uploaded the
video to the web and now her drunken rant has hit viral status. Now everyone
wants to get a piece of Lizzie. If that wasn't bad enough, she has to work with
Jake Weston - a modern-day Indiana Jones - Treasure Hunter as they scour for
unique pieces for her Hollywood through the ages display at the museum she works for. One thing leads to another and
Lizzie starts to fall for Jake and vice versa,
and he may very well be the one to break her dry spell. What will happen though
when one of Jake's friends puts out a bet to the world in the male magazine he owns? When Lizzie finds out, she will have to make the decision about Jake and wonder if he
does love her or is he just in it to win the money as there is a $50K bounty on breaking her sex strike? Bet Me by Lila Monroe had a
lot of my favourite things in this book from having a Fool's Gold - the movie
starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McCounaghey feel to Museum curators and ones
who are like the Librarians crossed with Indiana Jones to Hollywood films
throughout the ages as Lizzie and Jake work on the display throughout Bet Me.
