I loved the characters in this book, especially Betts. As evident from most of my reviews I rarely love a heroine it takes that something special for it to happen for me. Bett’s definitely had that something special. I mean she names a cow. I loved it. Reading the crazy thoughts that were going through her head at any time was hilarious. She reminded me of a few of my friends. And don’t get me started on Bett’s Mother and their relationship. It was hilarious and sweet at the same time.The book isn’t all about Betts though, we get some hunky hero in Gabe as well. Between the two of them there are some great one liners that had me chuckling more than once.  Part of the story is told in Gabe’s point of view and I think that really helped me to understand both characters. Sometimes the men in books are so hard to get a finger on and if we hadn’t had Gabe’s point of view I think this might have been the case for him. I was glad that had the chance to really get to know him.I will say Place Your Betts started out a bit slow for me. Remember I like more action and dark reads where as this one is more what I would call fluffy. Still good, don’t get me wrong, but it became apparent early that I there would be no car bombs, kidnappings, or anyone sold into sex slavery. Before I hit the 50% mark I realized I was really enjoying myself even if this read is more emotional/talking rather than the action I’m used to. Plus it even made me tear up a bit. Reading those letters (don’t ask you just have to read the book) was brutal.Overall I really like this one. I’ll be honest, I don’t think fluffy we ever be a five for me. I am stingy with my fives and I need a good kidnapping to really get the blood flowing, but Place Your Betts was really cute. Betts was hilarious. I’ll definitely be reading more Katie Graykowski stuff in the future.
