A Marrying Man by Sandrine Gasq-Dion is the entertaining sequel to A Betting Man. It starts a year after the bet that Blaine and Kent made, and its disasterous aftermath. The blurb covers the basics of the story, you need to read it for yourself to appreciate the humor behind it. It helps to read A Betting Man first, but this book can be read as a standalone.This is a character driven tale with a plot flows smoothly from begining to end. Told from the alternating POVs of Blaine and Spencer, we get an intimate insight into how each one really feels about the other, and how their preconceived opinions blind them to the other's true personality. As they start spending more and more time together, they realize that things aren't always what they seem. The backstory does an excellent job of laying the foundation for the storyline, and the sex is hot and passionate.The author's writing style is humorous, quirky, and concise, with a deft touch at bringing her characters to life. I love how the characters eventually overcome the obstacles between them and finally realize just how much they mean to each other. The story does have a HEA ending after a jealous ex does her best to sabotage the relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this delightful story. If you're looking for a satisfying way to spend an hour or two, then this is the book for you.This review originally appeared at Mrs Condit & Friends Read Books
