“That falling-off-a-building feeling the first time you kiss someone is just perfection.”


This was such a good time of a read! A one night stand turns into a friends to lovers x fake dating x one bed situation & I ate it up! Lynn is such a Jane Austen stan with all the hints of her various works within her own stories. The Mr. Darcy mentions get me every. single. time.

Not only did I love the romance (other than the third act breakup) but it was SO damn funny! If you’re needing a good laugh and want an actual RomCom, look no further than this one friends💖

***The Love Wager can be read as a standalone but will spoil the HEA of Mr. Wrong Number
