Betting on You, Danvers #4.5, by Sydney LandonGrade: B“I’m going to make a pitcher of margaritas. We can drink too much and insult the men in our life.”Mia has spent her life trying to make something of herself without the help of her parent’s money. Landing a job at Danvers International is a dream for Mia and she has slowly worked her way up in the company. On a routine job Mia meets Seth the owner of the hotel she is installing a new security program for. Sparks fly between these two and Mia soon realizes that what she’s been missing in her life is him. Unable to date until the job is over these two take the time to get to know one another and Mia finds herself falling out of lust and into love with Seth.I am a very big fan of the Danvers series but was a little hesitant because I didn’t know Seth or Mia. I should have known better because this is Sydney Landon we are talking about and she rarely disappoints. This is a short novella but it could be read as a stand alone with no problem and is a great edition to the Davers series. I have a hard time with novellas since they are so short, but I felt that this one didn’t try to cram the love story into one hundred pages and make things happen in a very short time period. This was one of the better ones that I’ve read due to the fact that everything flows at a great pace and the romance doesn’t feel forced.I loved Mia and Seth right from the beginning and they waste no time burning up the pages with their combustible chemistry. I had a little issue with Seth at the end and with how much he fought his feelings for Mia but luckily he pulled his head out of his butt and got it together. Mia is a great character and I loved that she not only deals with her relationship with Seth but also her mother. Mia is my favorite of all the Danver’s women next to Suzy, which seems fitting since Suzy is Mia’s idol. My only issue with Mia was at the end and I felt that she forgave a little too easily but other than that I really enjoyed this book.
