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 … 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 Me to Stay was an enjoyable first time read, the words were captivating, and the characters were refreshing! I loved the heated playful banter between Liam and Cassie, they had me laughing, swooning, and cheering them on the whole way through. I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face, and provide you with lots of laughs!!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
Sorry folks but this wasn’t a book in my opinion, and yes that is all it is my opinion. So after reading the blurb I was happy with my decision to request it, but it is all about sex, not I am not a prude and I do enjoy a little in my books but this didn’t have a story line, what do I mean? Let me give you an example..So she is a writer but almost a virgin and her publisher/friend suggest she has a one night stand to give her books more spice because she is apparently bad at getting people inspired of hot under the collar she is about to give up her writing, She ends up in families business competition (I know I am rambling, sorry) anyhoo, she is at the bar, she meets her love interest guess what after meeting they have sex that day. She comes back next day guess what they have sex, I was bored totally not interested because it was just too descriptive, too graphic and not interesting enough, yeah deleting book, and not interested in reading more from this author.

Casey Meadows is a romance author who is transitioning from sweet romances to much steamier fare. The problem is Casey isn’t very experienced and her agent lets her know that her book is a little too clinical and not very risqué. Casey leaves her agent and decides to go into the Irish pub across the street from her parents’ pub. This pub is owned by brothers Liam and Finn O’Connor. Liam is worried about his brother, who falls in love and gets engaged at the drop of a hat, will get married and lose half his share of the bar. Liam bets Finn that he cannot go a month without going out with a woman. Finn agrees, only if Liam dates the next woman that walks in the door. Of course, in walks Casey. This is the beginning of a physical relationship that let’s Casey get fodder for her book. Problem is, what starts as just a physical relationship becomes more and their secrets can potentially blow everything up. I like this book, but didn’t love it. I think my problem with this book is the instant love that occurs. These two are getting busy a lot, but not a lot of getting to know you behavior, so not buying the undying love. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
