Bet On It

I never expected that love could be found at a weekly bingo game and neither did our main character Aja. She has recently moved to a new town to get away from the chaos of big city living and to help improve her mental health. However, she is finding it hard to make friends in the small town of Greenbelt where everyone seems to know everyone, except her. The one activity she goes to each week is bingo where she regularly sits with a lively older lady, Ms. May Abbott. When Ms. May’s grandson returns to town, Aja finds him to be an unexpected confidant and an attractive one at that. 

I really appreciated the mental health representation in this story, especially ainxw both love interests had mental health struggles. The bumps in the road that always come in a romance novel were realistic to me with that in mind. 

My one complaint was that the smut parts took me out of it at times. Nicknames annoy me in those settings. Also, location is essential in my opinion the location choices in this….But overall, I enjoyed this book for its spunk and representation and could see myself reading more of the author’s books! 

(Thank you to the publisher for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
