Book Excerpt:
"Jodie Slaughter is a must-buy author, and Bet on It is a perfect example of what makes her writing delicious. Aja and Walker's story is hot, sweet, and utterly unique, with a rock-solid emotional core." - Talia Hibbert, New York Times bestselling author of Act Your Age, Eve Brown.
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. 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. 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.
Jodie Slaughter's Bet on It is a heart-stopping, fun, emotional romance with readers falling in love until long after the last page is turned."
"Bet on It' reads like the first rays of sun on your face after a long winter. I loved Aja and Walker's story about two genuinely good people who are playful and sweet to each other, helping one another heal while also having scorching sex. With standout portrayals of beautiful, generous friendships in addition to the love story, this is a book to be savored." - Rosie Danan, author of The Intimacy Experiment and The Roommate.

Review:
"Bet On It" by"Jodie Slaughter
My Assessment:
"Bet on It" was a good romance read that discussed some important things that go on in people's lives, and the mental health issue for both that was anxiety [panic attacks] and PTSD, as it was for Aja and Walker [Wally].
This author did an excellent job with these severe topics as she gave the reader something to think about long after the read. In addition, the friendship with Walker's grandmother and Aja's three friends added so much to this read, keeping the reader turning the pages till the end.
The story was cute in how this author brings out how love was being built not only 'on anxiety, pie, and bingo forgiveness, and oh yes, some love.' To get the whole story, one will have to pick up 'Bet on It' and see how this story comes out. It will be a good read in the end.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the arc, for my honest opinion.
