characters from both the One Week Girlfriend series and The Rules series.)
Safe Bet is the fourth book in The Rules series. It can be read as a stand-a-lone as I have read none of the other books in this series. You do get to hear from Drew and Fable but I didn’t feel confused by anything. If anything, it made me more intrigued to read their story.
I enjoyed reading this story. It was fairly quick and sweet. There is no drama or angst. And I love that this was a slow build in the relationship. Sydney and Wade are attracted to one another before they are thrown into this whole fake relationship. I felt that helped them in this whole scheme and made everything flow better. And as I said, it’s a slow build – nothing is quick. We can fee and see it as the story progresses.
I love the way Monica tells her stories and how she writes her characters. Sydney and Wade are both trying to forge a new path in their lives and make up for past mistakes. They own those mistakes and are both doing what they can to move forward. They problems they face together were real and that helped make them whole story more real to readers.
As I said, we got updates on Drew and Fable. And for those like me who have no read any of the books in this series, it’s enough to pique your interest and go back to read their tales.
Monica has another great book in the sweet, sexy, and breezy reads!
