Can I just say I love novellas? Because sometimes you're just in the mood for a good book you can read in a day and that makes you feel good. The best novellas can deliver a complete story with wonderful characters who you see grow from the beginning of the book to the end. Betting the Billionaire had all of that and more. Now I have to confess...I went into reading BTB a little biased because I adore Avery Flynn's voice from "High Heeled Wonder". She's just funny! And I was not disappointed in her contemporary romance. No matter the genre--romantic suspense or contemporary--she serves up sassy, funny dialogue with the most engaging, original characters.Betting the Billionaire opened with Keisha Jacobs giving billionaire Gabe Campos the metaphorical finger about buying her family's business. For months she's told the businessman what he can do with his offers, but he's not listening. And when he comes to town unexpectedly and they end up stranded together for a night during a snow storm, the sparks--verbal and sensual--fly! And this is all in the beginning of the book! I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but there's a reason Gabe wants to buy Keisha's family's business so badly, and that reason may come between them, destroying those sparks before they can fully explode into a passionate love. And boy, is there passion. For most of the book Gabe and Keisha had this amazing sexual chemistry and tension. And when they finally came together? Explosion. It was hot, sexy and so worth the wait!I couldn't decide who I enjoyed more--Keshia or Gabe. With her snark and snap, Keshia was an absolute joy to read. And Gabe. Wow, until reading BTB, Henry Cavill's Clark Kent was the sexiest man in glasses. Yeah, he has competition in Gabe. LOL! The novella was romantic, funny, heart-warming, sensual and just plain fun! A truly enjoyable read. She had me at "lava cake", y'all!I gladly received an Advanced Readers Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
