Dating Roulette is the first book by this author that I have read. How did I know about D. Kelly??
I love the characters through the whole book. Page turner for sure, wanting to know more.
We are brought to the lives of Tristan and Bex, and first it starts off a friendship which we know how that will end. But Tristan decides to go all in and win the girl. Ofc, there’s one problem, she just dumped his friend and you can never break the bro code.. Or Can you?? When you do, can the friendship turn into love??? Who would have thought that love was there right in fronf of them 😉
A different take on overcoming the dating game and childhood crushes.
Tristan knew the moment he met Bexley that she would be important in his life. Too bad that she just dumped his best friend and bro code states she’s completely off limits. Instead, they strike up a friendship. One that spans throughout the remainder of high school into college and after. Over 10 years worth of friendship where Tristan has watched Bex dispose of guys and dates for frivolous reasons from wearing tassled shoes to how he eats. Something shifts in their relationship. She has never openly hit on him let alone kissed him. He can’t get that drunken kiss out of his mind. He formulates a plan to win her over like his best friend told him to do years ago when he gave him permission to date Bex. He chickened out then. Now, he knows what Bex needs. He will do everything to give it to her.
Bex is looking for perfection. She doesn’t need numerous dates to figure out whether or not the guy fits the bill. How dare Tristan challenge her to dating the next person for seven dates! She hates to admit that very few have ever made it to seven–hell if she’s being honest most don’t make it past the third date. What Tristan proposes next blows her mind. How can she refuse? What happens if perfection isn’t met? How important is perfection anyway besides he’s the one she measures all others by. What could go wrong?
Just wow! Tristan and Bex have to be one of my favorite couples. If you love friends to lovers then prepare to be amazed. The dating roulette game heats up when Tristan decides to go all in. This couple will have you cheering for them all the way. I love that we got a glimpse of the Illusion bar and gang. I was so excited to read this and it definitely was worth the wait!!
Romantic and sweet, Dating Roulette takes us into a friends to lovers story where the love of your life is right in front of you!
What Bexley and Tristan have is not easy to find. Soul mates since the beginning, they developed a friendship that grew into love without their knowledge. When they finally start feeling a lust induced love for each other and act on it, they soon realize that love was always there in front of them.
Romantic, funny and sexy, this book is the perfect choice to have with you this Summer.
5 Amazing Stars!!!
D. Kelly keeps blowing me away with every new release she has. Dating Roulette is definitely on my favorite read list.
Bexley made Tristan her friend in their sophomore year in high school. It was the best decision she’s ever made. They went to college together and after they graduated they moved in together. He’s the one constant thing in her life.
Bexley’s never had a real relationship before. She has a seven date rule. If a guy shows up and they do one of her no-no’s then that’s it, she cuts them loose. No questions asked. No second chances.
The only guy that’s lasted is Tristan. He might laugh at her quirkiness and has dubbed her rules as dating roulette. But, they know each other inside and out. One night Bexley kisses Tristan and everything changed. Bexley knows Tristan couldn’t feel for her what she feels for him.
The best thing that’s ever happened to Tristan was Bexley telling him they should be friends. Bex doesn’t realize she saved Tristan’s life that day more ways than she could ever imagine.
Tristan has always cared for Bexley but has stayed on the sidelines watching her go on date after date and watching her throw guy after guy away bc he broke one of her rules.
Tristan was tired of watching from the sidelines. Tristen finally got the courage to proposition Bex. The next she dates he wants it to be him with 2 rules of his own. Bex must go through with the seven dates, no exceptions and after every date she must write down the pros and cons of the date. Tristan just hopes he doesn’t loose his best friend when they finish their seven dates.
These two were absolutely perfect for each other. Bex ended up asking him for the boyfriend experience. Bex then turned it around bc she’s seen him do everything for his ex’s and she went all out to show him how much she cares for him.
Both of them were in love with each other before Tristan even picked Bex up for their first date they were just blind to what was in front of them. Things weren’t completely smooth and full of sunshine and butterflies. When they say looks can be deceiving and don’t judge a book by its cover. Luckily Bex and Tristan know each other so well and they have amazing best friends in their corner.
I read this book in a few hours. I legit devoured it bc it was THAT good!!! I was smiling so hard I was cheesing. I have read 57 books so far this year and Tristan has made it to my #1 book boyfriend spot for this year and I’m not seeing him leaving it.
D. Kelly usually has me ugly crying reading her books but not this time. Again, she had me cheesing smiling. I can’t wait for her next release.
This is Romance at its Best !!!!! If you are looking for a book that will captivate you from the very first page to the very last line look no further than Dating Roulette.
Tristan and Bexley have been friends since high school but it was only as they got older that they realised that maybe what they have is more than just friendship but will either of them be prepared to take a chance on love and risk the bond they share as friends…..
I loved everything about this book, it had all the feels I want in a great read, I laughed, I cried, I swooned and at times I held my breath, it was funny, hot and very emotional and had characters you can’t help loving so please do yourself a favour and one click this must read.
Dating Roulette by D. Kelly was such a great surprise and I loved it! A fun and charming story about friends to lovers with all the best feels. Brexley and Tristan have been best friends for years. He has had a ring-side seat to her dating shenanigans and though he had stood aside for years, he is now ready to show her what they can have together.
Brexley is looking for not just love, but the perfect kind of love. Finding the right guy is hard, especially when she is so damn picky. But could the guy she always wanted to be right in front of her? Tristan was such a good guy. He was caring and patient. Their friendship went a long way to help the new feelings, but things are never easy. Such a sweet read. I absolutely devoured Dating Roulette by D. Kelly. I loved their characters and their story so much.

Happy reading!
Tristian and Bexley have been best friends since they were 15. The majority of the story takes place ten years later. They’re both college graduates with well paying jobs. They’re also sharing an apartment. Bexley has had a seven date rule to finding the “one” since she started dating in high school. Tristan has dated a little but neither has found their forever person. After another date gone bad, Tristan asks Bexley to give them a chance. See if they can get to the 8th date. Their story was fun and sweet. Tristan was a swoon worthy guy. I liked that Bexley knew what she wanted even if she didn’t go the best route to get it. But that’s not too unusual. Great friends to lovers romance that I think people will enjoy.
This was a wonderful friends-to-lovers story! They met and became best friends and inseparable. Tristan has realized for a while that his feelings were much stronger but his fear of losing Bexley forever kept him from acting on those feelings… until now. He wants his turn at her “dating roulette”.
This story was romantic, sweet, and emotional…. everything I look for in a romance! Keep the tissues handy as there were a few times I had tears in my eyes. The love these two characters have for each other is absolutely beautiful!
I received a review copy of this book before release for an honest review.
Dating Roulette is was an absolutely wonderful story, maybe one of the best friends to lovers romances I have ever read except for one short episode near the end of story but beyond that was a killer romance and I adored the plot, the characters and their friendship.
Bex is the girl in this story and she lives with her bestfriend of the last Tristan. They actually met when she dumped his bestfriend and that’s why they have only been best friends.
Bex dates a lot but she usually dumps guys by date 7 or she has one night stands. Tristan is a great guy and he has had relationships but he has never fallen in love with anyone that meant losing his closeness to Bex was worth it.
Now he realizes he wants to be her forever guy and he talks her into dating him for 7 dates. They are so adorable and cute and this book was pure fun and romance and I loved it.
It is a standalone book and is extremely well written with characters I really loved.
OMG. Bex and Tris 4ever.
This couple. The cutest and the hottest and just the best friends you could follow in a book. They have it all – the strong BFF relationship, the steamiest sexy times I’ve come across in a while and some incredible banter. You can tell right off the bat they are soulmates, even back in high school, but adhering to guy code and denying anything romantic in case it ruins things gets in the way… until they break the rules.
SO GOOD. So fun. All the things. Bexley is hilarious with all her nitpicky reasons she can’t make it past a few dates with guys and Tristan is just the most swoony dude in all the land. This is one you need to read!
RECOMMEND!
5 stars
One of the sweetest friends to lovers story i have ever read. Wow D. Kelly you are amazing. Tristan and Bexley are best friends since ten years. Bexley wants to find love like her parents but she couldn’t find the perfect man for her. Tristan wants something more than being a friend to Bexley. Could they find love in their friendship???
This story had my attention from the beginning and Bex and Tris are just so superb. Adorable, funny, charming and sexy read.
I loved Tristan and Bexley. I loved that Just An Illusion was in this story.
Would you play dating roulette to see if you were the winner.
This book is so good and gave me all the feels. I so want Adams story now.
This is one author you know will give it all she has with also owning your emotions when it is finished. The characters will do the deed in this one with a unique story line. Tristan and Bexley take it away with this from the get go capturing our attention. In will encompass many emotions throughout which giving it the reason I say at the beginning you will be owned. If you are in need of something also that has humor this is another reason this is the one. Race to the finish to see who takes the prize.
In high school Bexley saved Tristian. For ten years they have been best friends. Bexley always finds something wrong with anyone she dates. Bexley & Tristian are insanely cute together. Bexley thinks of Tristian as the perfect man. Maybe a little Dating Roulette will show them they are perfect together. Great Read.
5 stars
This book was awesome! As a newcomer to D. Kelly’s work, I wasn’t sure what to expect but they most assuredly delivered something special.
Tristan and Bex have been best friends for ten years. She barged into his life and demanded they be friends and it’s best thing they’ve ever committed to. As best friends, Tristan has had a front row seat to the dating shenanigans Bex has been going through forever. You see she has a rule, seven dates to find Mr. Right…but no one has ever made it that far. She lives her life searching to recreate her parent’s epic love but tends to pick apart guys before they even have a chance. But Tristan has an advantage…no one knows Bex better and he’s prepared to use every advantage he can get. He’s finally up in dating roulette and he’ll do whatever it takes to win his best friend’s heart.
Tris was a dream book boyfriend, sweet, sensitive and ULTRA sexy. His pursuit of Bex was beautiful and I loved how they catalogued their dates, what a beautiful gift for later. Their long time friendship and even friends, Adam and Rita, were great side characters and gave the book depth. I read this book in one sitting, a truly lovely way to wile away several hours!

This is one of my favorites to read. I love a good friend to lovers book and it helps when the couple have such a strong connection like Tristan and Bexley had. I gotta say I love the name Bexley. You don’t see it a lot in books but it totally works in this one.
Tristan and Bexley meet when they are 15. She came into his life when his world was falling down. She was his angel. They bonded quickly even though Tristan wanted more. Their friendship has lasted 10 years and during that time, both have dated others but they still remain best friends. They live together. Bexley has a unique way of dating.. She does a roulette of 7 dates. If after the 3rd, which most guys fail, you’re husband material. That’s what she’s looking for. After the last date fails, Tristan decides to go for it with her. During this time, they realize how much fun they have together and how much they truly care about each other. They have obstacles to jump over which leads to fights but they come out stronger because of it. I highly enjoyed this book. The banter between characters was brilliant and fun. Tristan’s nerd side comes out a lot in this but it’s so cute to see him spaz out over video games. I would definitely read this book over and over again! Super cute book!!
Dating Roulette by D. Kelly is the story of Tristan and Bexley.
Tristan and Bexley have been friends for about 10 years. Bexley has a set of rules for finding her match that no one has been able to live up to…but maybe the person she really wants is right beside her. Tristan and Bexley are true friends that even have been living together as roommates but something is about to change…
Enjoyed their story
D. Kelly has struck again. Dating Roulette is a fun friends-to-lovers romantic comedy. It was an interesting take on the serial dater and the commitment seeker coming together.
Even though best friends Tristan and Bexley both want a relationship, they go about it in very different ways. Bex has her rules, the non-negotiable things she won’t waver on, and her wheel of men that don’t quite meet her standards. Whereas Tristan goes about things more organically. All it took was one night with a bit too much booze for long suppressed feelings to rise to the surface.
To say things moved fast for these two wouldn’t be quite right. Yes, they flew through the stages of ‘dating’ but they had known each other for a decade. So there wasn’t any of the awkward getting to know you, finding out your annoying habits and deciding if it was worth sticking around for business. They already knew each others quirks. But the budding romance jitters were there. The butterflies. The anticipation. Holy hotness the anticipation! It was killing me as much as it was Bex and Tristan.
As much as they knew about each other, there was one thing they didn’t plan on…jealousy. When she reared her ugly head, coupled with a major lack of communication, things got really messy. I just wanted to shake them both and say ‘talk to each other!’. But the final play…LOVED IT!! It was perfectly Bex and Tristan and a great way to bring everything together and solidify just how much these two were perfect for each other.
D. Kelly is one of my favorite authors and this story did not disappoint. Dating Roulette is a best friends to lovers story. Bexley and Tristan have been best friends and roommates for a long time, before Tristan decides to push Bexley a little in the hopes that they can become more.
I loved watching them try to navigate dating and taking their relationship to the next step. Tristan was so romantic and his love for Bexley really came through in all he did. This story was highly engaging. I read it in one sitting as I could not put it down. I was desperate to know if they would get their happily ever after.
D. Kelly has a gift for words and story telling and she writes the absolute best characters. I love love loved the journal writing!!! Another 5 star read!!!
