The Bet is a short, sweet story. Jenny is trying to raise money to save her family's ranch, and Nick bets that she'll marry him within five weeks. It's kind of a silly bet made in the heat of the moment, but Jenny needs the money, so agrees.What I couldn't understand was why Jenny would trust Nick at all. He finagles a way onto her ranch so he can court her, and she lets him! Yes, he is tall, dark, and handsome...but hello? He bet $10,000 that she would marry him, so what is she thinking?I could sympathize with Jenny as she just wants to save her family home, but couldn't really understand how she could even give him the time of day. I couldn't get past that for some reason. I mean, if I guy bet me $10,000 that I'd marry him, that would be an easy win!The story isn't up to Debbie's usual standard, but Darlene does have potential and I'll probably read her next story. Gave it a 3/5 as it's a nice bonus to Debbie's book!
