The Wager is a memorable, romantic story that had me laughing, smiling, feeling sad and sighing with thoughtful, heartfelt words. If you have not read The Bet. I highly recommend you read it first as this is a book two in the series. Char is a remarkable girl with some past resentment and hurt. She is sweet, sassy and is lots of fun! She is also Kacey's best friend and has a history with Jake that had me getting a bit upset with Jake. I liked her instantly as she was so real to me. I found myself thinking of her as my friend.  Char can roll with things and seems to get along with most everyone.Jake is a millionaire play boy who I thinks does the most growing in this story. In book one The Bet, he is a JERK. Plain and simple. That is how he starts out in this book. So, can he redeem himself? Or is he so far gone, that we have no hope? Well, we get to seem him learn and becomes the man he was always meant to be. This does not happen fast. It takes time. I felt that it was real. Sometimes it takes time and lots of mistakes to learn and grow. Grandma Nadine is priceless and unforgettable in The Wager. She is always up to something and it always had me laughing, smiling or melting my heart at the thoughtfulness. I loved meeting Petunia, Nadine's very prim and proper sister. She was a delightful in the mix and not without her own faults. She is quick to judge. That had me liking her even more, as she is not so perfect! I loved seeing Travis and Kacey's love story continue! This story brings it all. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I can't wait to read The Gamble, the next book in the series.Just FYI~ This does contain swearing and sexual situations.
