Just a Little Bet by Tawna Fenske
4.0
Thank you NetGalley, Entangled Publishing and Tawna Fenske for gifting me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
Exes Tony Warren and Kayla Gladney have never let their past keep them from being best friends. Even though their relationship didn’t work out, their chemistry still burns white hot and their bond is still strong. After yet another breakup and a very drunken night, Kayla and Tony take off on a roadtrip to find Tony’s exes and ask them the big question: What went wrong? The more exes they visit and the more miles they cover, the clearer it becomes that they are a lot more than just friends. A childhood of trauma and inconsistency has left Tony with serious commitment issues and goals of getting married and starting a family are keeping Kayla from settling. Can they meet in the middle and make it work?
I’m such a sucker for a second chance romance and the friends to lovers trope that I was instantly down to read this one! Just a Little Bet is the second book in Tawna Fenske’s ‘Smokejumper’ series and I had no problem reading this as a read alone. There wasn’t a lot of fire talk in this book besides mentioning that being Tony’s career, but the author does mention that in her end adkowledgments and says book one lays that info out better.
There were a few moments I found hard to believe, but for the most part I really liked this one! Tony and Kayla have fantastic chemistry and their banter kept some of the heavier subjects this book tackles from weighing the story down too much. WARNING: the intimate scenes are spicy! The book felt quick and was super easy to get into but you still get to know the characters and finish feeling like the story was completed! I ended this feeling happy for these two and is there anything more you could ask for from a romance?
