Reviewed by Wendy for Heartsonfirereviews.com4.5 stars.I'm so glad I took a chance on "A Betting Man" because I fell in love with this wonderful little story!  There was nothing uniquely new or earth shattering in terms of the storyline, but it clearly sets the backdrop for hurt and angst as secrets get revealed.What started as a bet, turned into something very real, very quickly.  I loved that every chapter alternated POV between Kent and Terry.  It helped me really understand each person so much better because I could also hear their thoughts vs. just what they verbalized.  And let me tell you, some of those thoughts were downright hilarious.  I adored the humor as much as I grew to love these guys.Despite starting out looking like an egotistical, self-serving, ass from the get go, Kent is actually a pretty wonderful guy under all the pomp and circumstance around keeping up an image, and it took another man (vs. woman), Terry, to reveal what was hiding under the surface all the time.  And, Terry?  He was simply too cute for words - I loved him instantly!  The secondary characters added a special little something (yay for open-minded, spicy little southern mommas) to round out this story and made me want to embrace them all (okay, admittedly I might have wanted to punch one instigator/mischief-maker among them).Take a chance and go "all in" for "A Betting Man".  It's light, romantic and funny.  You may find that you, too, won a jackpot with this little gem.  With a little more meat on its bones (no double meaning intended, *grins*), this story would have been a full 5 hearts for me.  I loved it and sincerely hope for a Blaine and Spencer sequel!!!
