Wanna make a bet?I bet you I can make any woman in New York famous.The lanky girl with the unfortunate haircut who works in the bike shop?Sure, you’re on. I’ll date her, do her, and make her shine.And I bet I can do it all without falling for her.I never make a bet I can’t win. So when I bet my friend I can make any girl in New York just as famous as me, he picks one for me.Ruth Biederman. She … he picks one for me.
Ruth Biederman. She works in a bike shop in Brooklyn. She’s got a nice smile and some cute freckles, but everything from her hair to her clothes are a total disaster. I’ve got my work cut out for me.
First, I’ve gotta get her to date me. Easy enough, right? I’m not just a billionaire, I’ve got the charm to back it up. She’s as good as mine.
But it turns out she’s suspicious. Go figure.
I convince her I’m legit, and we go out a few times. We start making headlines too, turns out that dating down really brings my reputation up.
Just when things are looking good, I make the one mistake I swore I wouldn’t: I fall for her. Maybe it’s because the sex is mind-blowing, or maybe it’s because when I get those glasses off her, that look in her eyes gets me hard as a rock.
It’s not what I planned for, and the terms of the bet are…dirty…to say the least. If I lose, it’s going to mean I have to break her heart. And even if I win, can I really live with such a dark secret between us?

The sex is the best thing about either story
It’s typical genre nonsense–jerkish billionaire sweeps poor girl away into a world of fantasy. Villains have paper thin motives and happily ever after includes kids. Sex and the City had deeper plot lines. Liked the first villain better but the plot line of the second story better. The first story was more realistic but it had hipster idiots in it. The Coffee Snob was a level of pretension rarely seen in the real world where people actually have to make a living. I wanted to murder them all with my big red neck truck. The second was straight up 50 shades can fict. Better than the actual book but villain was straight up jacked and just as illogically loony toons as the villainess in Grey’s world. The premise and events were discarded third string Gossip Girl rejects so as much as I wanted to kill all the hipsters their story wins.
Awesome book
Ruth works in a bike shop and isn’t beautiful. Eric is a billionaire who made a bet with a guy in his office that he could get any woman. The office worker may have motives beyond the superficial. Eric and Ruth start to like each other, but he can’t tell her about the bet. This is a sweet HEA story with a cute plot.
I was bored. I thought I was getting one story instead there were two under developed stories. Each story was 50% and they weren’t related stories. If I was going to get two short stories it would have been better if they at least had a connection to each other. The female characters in both stories were dumb and immature and that’s why I don’t like reading stories with college students. I’m not giving up on the author. I’m going to chalk this one up to it’s not for me but maybe the next one will be.
