I bet you can’t put this book down. I bet you will fall in love with Mack and Tom. I bet you will laugh a bunch while reading. I bet you will be blown away by this sexy, filthy and utterly amazing book. Manhattan Bet is one of the best MM books that I have read in memory. This should be no surprise to me since all of V’s books just take me there.
This is the love story of Tom, whom we met in the Taboo Love Duet books and hated. He was completely unloveable. We also met Mack for a brief minute in this series and he was a little punk genius. So how do you take these two and make a love story? You rely on the writing magic of this author and Manhattan Bet does not disappoint. Tom is so aloof, arrogant and bored and Mack is like a fresh energizer bunny. When these beautiful men meet it is instant chemistry and the temperature goes up about a hundred degrees. As Tom said to Mack, “come on,puppy. I have a place to show you.”
I laughed and sighed throughout this wonderful read. It is funny, charming, sexy and all so full of steam. I highly recommend this book. This is a one click author for me.
If you are a lover of MM stories like I am, then this book is most definitely for you! If you read the Manhattan Series then you will have met Tom, a high fashion model who doesn’t believe in relationships, only hook ups. Then along comes Mack, a computer genius who is a bit younger than Tom, who has an amazing sense of humor. Mack has lusted after Tom for years, but never thought he would ever meet him. Until one chance meeting at coffee shop that sets the tone for this amazing story. While they embark on a relationship of sorts, can it last? Will one mistake end it all? Can Mack break through Tom’s cold exterior? My heart fell in love with both these characters and truly didn’t want their story to end. You will root for these characters to end up together and their story will pull at your heartstrings. Please read this incredible story of lust and love. You will fall in love with them just like I did.
Wow, this book is hot!! After meeting Tom in a previous book I was ready for him to have his own story but V Theia out did herself. Tom was a jerk when we first met him and he still is but that quickly becomes the charm of his story. Tom is a jaded super model with more money and fame than anyone needs, angry about his last love going south and his role in it, he has no interest in dating, relationships and some serious trust issues. A chance meeting in a coffee shop Tom crosses paths with Mack, fun loving, good looking and way too young. Although Tom is the returning character, Mack steals the show. He is charming, vivacious, overly confident and socially awkward which makes him all the more lovable. This book is crazy hot, funny, loving and did I mention HOT?! An amazingly great read that will make you smile, gasp and fan yourself. The banter between these two was phenomenal. A must read whether you you like M/M or not. This will be added to my re-read list for sure.
Mack is a young guy with a crush on model Tom Cohen. These two were smoking hot together. I had to fan myself while reading this story. Tom is older and models for a living. He meets Mack when he goes for a cup of coffee one morning. Get ready for lots of sexy action, kisses and hot sex. A great read that I recommend in this series.
This is by far, my favorite book of 2019! It’s sweet, romantic, funny and a must read!
This was a hot steamy read about Mack and Tom. Loved their interaction and banter. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this angsty sexy thrilling story. This was a great addition to the Manhattan series and I can’t wait to read more by V. Theia.
I loved both Mack and Tom in this book and man was it hot too! So sexy! I definitely recommend experiencing them for yourself!
Oh wow, she did it again!
I loved this story. It was funny, witty and gave me all the feels. But I loved the epilogue the most.
I recommend it if you wanted to read a light MM book.
Tom, I wanted to keep disliking you! (If you’ve read Taboo Love you will understand).
Of course V has a mind and a way with bringing the worst of bad people into a light that doesn’t allow you to even dislike the worst of characters. Tom grew so much in this short period of time. From this aloof tough man, to such a softie for his Mack. Adorable! Mack was the perfect man for him! Hilarious, smart, and didn’t take no for an answer. Cause come on, if you know Tom, you know for sure he’s full of ‘no’. The best HEA ever!!! One of my top favorite lines comes from our dear Noah. But sums up this read for me so well.
“You’ll know one day when someone is essential to you why I moved heaven and earth for her.”
Tom and Mack would do just that for each other, you can feel their love for each other just burning from the pages, and I couldn’t be happier for them both.
(I usually try to leave all spoilers out.. But that didn’t happen this time, so stop reading now if you don’t want to see any! I’m sorry!)
Let’s just throw in a moment of WHAT IN THE WORLD! Because I hadn’t forgotten about the bet, but I did think that it would never come about. Mack had to have had a falling out with Pebbles and Jez, no way did he let that just slide! I also can’t believe that Tom was so rash to just leave!! I wanted to kick him! Did I just meet two people whose story just sounds too good to NOT share? Katarina and Hunter, Please! This just is going to be too juicy to not hear about!
I’m on Team Tack
FAVE QUOTE: “I’ve wanted to touch you all week.” I confessed. “Wanted to hold you all week. Wanted to climb into your big bed and hold you so you weren’t alone.” He was beautiful with his slow blinking eyes on me as he leaned into my hand. “God. Just put your fucking hands on me, Hennessy. I can’t stand being this far away from you any longer.” Collectively we sighed and wrapped our arms around each other. It was like coming home and finding my spot in his heart. “I’m going to keep you, Mack.”
It’s an absolute joy to fall in love with more characters from a Theia book. We briefly met Tom ( who was a damn good antagonist ) and Mack ( a delightful young boy! ) in the Taboo love Duet ( not needed to read to enjoy Bet, but you should because it’s Faaaamazing ) so I was over the moon excited to get their story. And more so to watch Tom become something we hadn’t expected …. a gorgeous hero worthy boy.
It’s age-gap.
It’s MM.
It’s a story of love. Plain and simple. It’s Mack meeting his celeb crush and realizing Tom is more than meets the eye. It’s about Tom accepting he needs love … just from the right person. He’s pretty jaded to love and finding it, so he shies away from Mack at first even when he’s utterly drawn to this quirky, loveable boy.
I adored watching their frisson and draw to each other. Mack was a determined boy, that’s for sure.
What happens when you make a stupid bet … then fall deeply, crazily in love? Oh, it’s glorious!!
I just bet you fall so deeply in love with this excellently written MM romance. It has it all. Heart, fun, Sexy as HELL!! laugh out loud lines, secondary characters we want to see again ( Hi, Hunter ) What you can rely on with any Theia book is the characters drive the story and when you least expect it she will deliver emotions by the bucket load.
If you love MM then you need to meet Mack and Tom.
