Summary
Two people make a wager on who can find love first， not realizing what they should be betting on is each other， in this new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter， author of Mr。 Wrong Number。
Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf。 After belly-crawling out of a hotel room （hello， rock bottom）， she decides it's time to become a full-on adult。 She gets a new apartment， a new haircut， and a new wardrobe， but when she logs onto the dating app that she has determined will find her new love， she sees none other than Jack， the guy whose room she snuck out of。
After the joint agreement that they are absolutely not interested in each other， Jack and Hallie become partners in their respective searches for The One。 They text each other about their dates， often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don't go well， the two of them can get tacos afterward。
Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together。
Discouraged by the lack of prospects， Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first， but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding， all bets are off。 As they pretend to be a couple， lines become blurred and they each struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with。

Lynn Painter did it again with the banter。 Predictable story， but she always keeps out the cheese factor。 I love listening to the audible books。 Lynn is also a local author near me， so I like that her stories take place in Omaha。

I loved Jack & Hallie's hilarious banter with each other。 They would definitely make it into my top 5 favorite book couples。 I'm a huge fan of the fake dating trope， but The Love Wager has a different twist on it because the book starts with a one-night stand。 I'm usually not a fan of that happening in the beginning of a romcom， but this one worked for me because of their friendship and the way Jack and Hallie could laugh about their first meet。 I enjoyed reading Jack and Hallie as friends knowi I loved Jack & Hallie's hilarious banter with each other。 They would definitely make it into my top 5 favorite book couples。 I'm a huge fan of the fake dating trope， but The Love Wager has a different twist on it because the book starts with a one-night stand。 I'm usually not a fan of that happening in the beginning of a romcom， but this one worked for me because of their friendship and the way Jack and Hallie could laugh about their first meet。 I enjoyed reading Jack and Hallie as friends knowing where the book would lead。 When the fake dating starts， Lynn Painter does an amazing job of heating up the tension between them。 I loved their tender moments when they were pretending but yet both fully enjoying the whispers and sweet kisses。 Thanks to @PRHAudio， I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were excellent， doing a great job of portraying the flirting， the humor， and the intensity of their fake dating weekend。 I really enjoyed the dual POV and I liked the way their voices popped up in each other's chapters。 Once I started the book， I quickly ordered a physical copy because I knew I needed a copy of this pretty cover for my shelf。 Whether it's a YA or a contemporary romance， I'll read any book Lynn Painter publishes。 。。。more

Lynn Painter writes banter like no one else。 Please always write books with texts and sarcasm and one liners that make me laugh out loud while reading。 I binged this book late at night while waiting for the washing machine to get done and I just kept doing the laundry。 Way late into the night。 It had all the best tropes。 It was super low angst with no secrets and conflict that actually made some sense。 I adored the friendship between Hallie and Jack and could not stop reading as they found love Lynn Painter writes banter like no one else。 Please always write books with texts and sarcasm and one liners that make me laugh out loud while reading。 I binged this book late at night while waiting for the washing machine to get done and I just kept doing the laundry。 Way late into the night。 It had all the best tropes。 It was super low angst with no secrets and conflict that actually made some sense。 I adored the friendship between Hallie and Jack and could not stop reading as they found love with each other。 。。。more

3。5 - binge & swoon worthy in typical Lynn Painter fashion。 Not as good as the first one。 I never thought I’d have this complaint but the banter was a bit much for me & some of the references went right over my head （except the New Girl ones） 😎

The end kinda ruined it for me。 Hallie is a child。

I needed an amazing rom com to binge read AND thank goodness Lynn came out with a new book bc I would of been in a slump。 I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH。 I laughed， I got butterflies， and I cried happy tears。 It’s was so perfect。 Highly recommend if you need an amazing fluffy romance and that has great banter and amazing characters。 💕

Lynn Painter provides the perfect rom-com escape in The Love Wager， a trope-driven romance that will remind readers why they love the genre as they laugh themselves to tears。 Hallie and Jack hit it off while she's tending bar at his sister's wedding and they spend a passionate night together before she sneaks out the next morning。 That night kicks off a fresh start for Hallie， but when she spots Jack's profile on a dating app， she sends him a purely friendl message。 After commiserating about the Lynn Painter provides the perfect rom-com escape in The Love Wager， a trope-driven romance that will remind readers why they love the genre as they laugh themselves to tears。 Hallie and Jack hit it off while she's tending bar at his sister's wedding and they spend a passionate night together before she sneaks out the next morning。 That night kicks off a fresh start for Hallie， but when she spots Jack's profile on a dating app， she sends him a purely friendl message。 After commiserating about the dating scene， they agree to wing-person for each other and as extra motivation to keep slogging through the dating mire， Jack and Hallie make a bet--whoever falls in love first gets an amazing prize。 tWith humor and charm， Painter cleverly reveals her characters' compatibility as they go on many failed dates， provide support and generally have a good time together。 By the time Jack agrees to go with Hallie to her sister's wedding as her fake boyfriend， readers will be itching for the two to finally figure it out。 Painter builds a foundation of friendship under the characters' immediate physical chemistry and while their pent-up attraction does bubble over into a couple of open-door scenes， the focus is always on how Hallie and Jack make each other--and readers--laugh。 As Jack and Hallie find their happily ever after， readers will feel like they won The Love Wager。***Reviewed for Shelf Awareness。 An edited version of this review will run there around release date。 。。。more

It was my first Lynn Painter book and idk。。。 something was missing for me。 I gave it three stars because there were still parts I enjoyed but just felt lackluster。 Still a very good palate cleanser though。

Lynn Painter never disappoints！ The Love Wager was such a fun read that I gobbled it up in two sittings。 Hallie and Jack are hilarious together and they are both clueless for so much of the book that it just made it that much more fun。 Painter writes the best banter and her characters are flawed and fully human in the best ways - they make dumb mistakes and adopt cats （！） and do things I find myself thinking I absolutely would have done when I was younger。 I find myself laughing out loud so oft Lynn Painter never disappoints！ The Love Wager was such a fun read that I gobbled it up in two sittings。 Hallie and Jack are hilarious together and they are both clueless for so much of the book that it just made it that much more fun。 Painter writes the best banter and her characters are flawed and fully human in the best ways - they make dumb mistakes and adopt cats （！） and do things I find myself thinking I absolutely would have done when I was younger。 I find myself laughing out loud so often with her books。 My family probably thinks I need a new hobby （ha！） but I actually just need more of Lynn Painter's books because they bring such laughter and joy with a side of simmering heat and some 'oh no！ don't do that！' I already can't wait for her next book。 I guess I'll just have to reread this one！ 。。。more

This is my first book by this author and won't be my last！ I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put this one down。 While I didn't read the first book， this book can easily be read as a standalone。 The chemistry between Hallie and Jack is palpable and I knew from the beginning that they were perfect for each other。 I just wondered how long it would take them to figure it out。 I think I love tacos as much as they do and bonded with them over their love for them。 The banter in this book is awe This is my first book by this author and won't be my last！ I absolutely loved this book and couldn't put this one down。 While I didn't read the first book， this book can easily be read as a standalone。 The chemistry between Hallie and Jack is palpable and I knew from the beginning that they were perfect for each other。 I just wondered how long it would take them to figure it out。 I think I love tacos as much as they do and bonded with them over their love for them。 The banter in this book is awesome and reminds me of why I love this genre so much。 They make me laugh， help me feel more normal about my dating past， and show me the importance of being friends before lovers！ The eclectic cast of supporting characters added depth and their dynamic only added to the fun of this story。I look forward to reading the first book and am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series！ 。。。more

While I enjoyed the banter between the two main characters， I think I’m aging out of the contemporary romance。 On line dating and texting after these two have a drunken one night stand。 Just not for me。
