After a bet with his brother, Liam O’Connor has to date the next woman who walks into the pub. And he’s all in, because his pub is on the line. What he didn't expect was Cassie Meadows, who at first glance with her big glasses and bulky sweater looks like a woman who has many, many cats––but her wit and smile make him wonder what’s underneath her bulky armor.

Cassie Meadows aka sweet romance author Cassie O'Brian is about to lose everything. As in, her writing career is going down the drain because she can’t write the sexy stuff that’s selling these days. She needs inspiration in the worst way. That’s when she walks into the wrong pub at the right time. Sexy owner Liam is just what the writing doctor ordered. Her whole body is feeling inspired–-and when he makes a proposal she can't refuse––she’s all in. Oh, hell yes. Best. Sex. Of. Her. Life. Thanks to Liam, she's about to write a best-seller.

But having an erotic romance alter ego is nothing compared to the real secret Cassie is hiding—and that one could destroy everything.

Bet you can't resist Bet Me To Stay ;)

17 July 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

Bet Me to Stay is quick and sexy read that has the two main characters enter into a physical relationship on the prompting of a bet. What sets Bet Me to Stay apart from other romance novels that feature ‘the bet’ trope is that Cassie is looking for inspiration to write better erotic scenes for her novel, and has been told by her friend/agent to find a one night stand to help. Both enter into a physical relationship wanting something from the other, which for me, really evened out the power imbalance and angst you sometimes find with this trope.

If you’re looking for a quick sexy read, I would really recommend Bet Me to Stay, the novel had excellent pacing, excellent erotic scenes, and I really came to enjoy the two characters, Liam and Cassie. The fact the novel features a sexy Irish accent and a curvaceous female lead, doesn’t hurt either.

How to write a steamy romance.

15 July 2019

Format: Kindle Edition

This book was a how too manual on how to write a steamy romance novel. It was non stop with every sexual adventure imagined and then described in graphic detail. If your planning to write a raunchy romance but feel shy about bedroom activities this is the book for you. As such there was no great romance or relationship. It was simply how to write every imaginable segue into wild sex a writer could imagine. I really enjoyed it as a learning experience but to be honest Cassie and Liam never really clicked for me as a couple.

Quick Steamy Read!

10 July 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A sweet romance writer who's told she needs to up her game to steamy novels, a hot Irish pub owner that fits the bill to fill up the pages. I'm surprised my e-reader didn't melt from the hot steamy sex and dirty talk. No strings attached, experience for her book, sexual gratification for both. Except that isn't always the way it turns out! A quick, enjoyable read. Great for a day to just kick back, relax and enjoy!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for introducing me to Candace Havens and the opportunity to read this novel. I enjoyed it so much I purchased it tbr again.

Liam’s bet with his brother is the best thing that happened to him.

8 July 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle Edition

Liam O’Connor has bet his brother that he will date the next available woman that enters The Boars Head, the pub they inherited from their parents when they retired to Ireland. Romance writer Cassie Meadows is the next available woman in the bar. Cassie needs to up her romance writing and change her writing style from sweet romance to more erotic because that is where the bigger contracts are in romance.

Liam asks Cassie out even though she is wearing sweatpants and Cassie is very interested in Liam so she goes to his apartment above the bar which gives her inspiration to revamp her book and make it sexier. Cassie only gives Liam her pen name which will cause trouble for Cassie later on because Cassie is daughter of the owners of the bar across the street that is the main competition for Liam’s pub. Cassie has never told her family that she is a professional romance writer because she felt that they would always put her down like she felt as a kid.

Bet Me to Stay is a really good romance where Cassie finds out that Liam is the one for her.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

So much going for it, but it doesn't quite reach its full potential.

9 July 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Kindle Edition

This is one of those books that has so much going for it, but it doesn't quite reach its full potential. There are some really great things in this book and a lot of things that I felt needed some work.

I really liked both of the main characters in this story, but I felt like they were underdeveloped. I certainly got the gist of their personalities through the writing, but I couldn't help but thinking over and over again how much better these characters could have been with more polish to them. We basically got the bare bones of what these characters could have been. I admit that at the start of the book I was fairly uninterested in them altogether. I did start to care about them closer to the end of the book, but I never fully connected with them. It is a shame too because they really did have something special that just needed more nurturing. Adding more depth to these characters could have taken them from "getting the job done" to "blowing it out of the water". Also, some of the dialogue felt choppy and forced to me.

The plot of this story was okay but honestly, it could have used some work. I felt that the premise for both Liam's and Cassie's plotlines were interesting, but pulled together a little too loosely. It felt like the stakes weren't quite where they needed to be. There just didn't seem to be enough conflict in the story. The whole book felt like it was mainly about sex. The sex totally overshadowed the other points in the story. I think that part of the problem was the length of the book. This book is very short. Reading this book felt like reading the bare bones of what a book should be. The basic framework is there, but it just needs some more details to fatten it up.

This story had a very strong insta-love feel to me. Cassie and Liam both go into this thing between them as a no-strings-attached one-time thing but they find that they have an incredible connection in bed and that spills over into wanting to spend more time together. The entire romance between them, apart from the epilogue, happens within a four to five week time frame. And most of that time is spent having sex. They do spend a little time together outside of the bedroom, but I really didn't like how their relationship sparked over having the best sex of their lives and not wanting to walk away from it. The fact that they fall in love and don't even really know it or admit it to themselves felt forced because of the instalove factor. I really would have liked to see them out of the bedroom more and experiencing everyday things together. And I think that it would have lessened the insta-love feel if the timeframe would have been drawn out.

While I felt that the romance was a little problematic because of the insta-love, I can't deny that Cassie and Liam had damn good chemistry together. Apart from the insta-love, I liked the evolution of their feelings for each other. Their romance just needed to be fleshed out a little more to make it completely believable. I think that the main issue with it is that there really wasn't any build up at all. They both jumped in with both feet and kept freefalling.

I am struggling with what I think an appropriate rating is for this book. I did have a lot of issues with this book, but on the plus side, I do think that it has some redeeming qualities. I noticed that the last quarter of the book, especially the last chapter and the epilogue, was written much better than the beginning of the book. Almost shockingly so. I am not sure where the difference is coming from, but if that magic could be worked into the rest of the book then it would be in much better shape.

Overall, this is a story that has a lot of potential but in the end, I found it lacking. It has the basics down but it needs some more depth to really make it shine. If you are someone that likes a light, quick, and smutty read then this would be a great book for you to pick up.

I received an ARC of this book at no cost from the publisher. All opinions expressed in my review are my own.
