I didn't really like Jake after reading The Bet. He came across as a selfish man-whore, but I really enjoyed getting to see a different side of him in The Wager. Jake's entire life changes at the beginning of the book, thanks in large part to Grandma. I loved the insight into his past with Kacey and her parents and why he always walks away. Char is a great heroine who matches Jake. She has her own vulnerabilities around her family and Jake really steps in to give her something she needs. I loved that Char didn't immediately fall into bed with him; Jake needed to actually pursue a woman for once.Grandma Nadine is probably my favorite character in this series! She's delightfully manipulative and has no problem pretending to be on her deathbed or drugging her loved ones with Benadryl to get the outcome she wants. She's the puppetmaster pulling most of the strings.I really enjoyed this book!! There are so many great lines that I highlighted. The interactions, the banter, the thought processes are just so entertaining. I highly recommend reading this series! The epilogue opens the door to a possible third book in the series, which I would love to read!
