ARC Review – All Bets Are On by Charlotte Phillip

I enjoyed the ups and downs of this book and how both Alice and Harry went through a metamorphosis of sorts to arrive at the end point. ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures

Office legend Harry Stephens is her unlikely saviour. He even volunteers to teach her just how to avoid a heartbreaker. After all, it takes one to know one….

But what is Harry really after? And when his kisses throw a curveball into the situation, is Alice ready to gamble everything for love?

This is one of those books that from the beginning I could so feel for the heroine and her plight and it drew me in and made me want to read this book. This book made me laugh, made me sad, and even made me a little angry. To me that’s what a good book does, it makes you feel and All Bets Are On will definitely do that and more.

What would you do if you found out you were the subject of an office bet? Well Alice Ford decides to take the bull by the horns and fight back, trouble is she doesn’t realize that the person she’s decided to use to prove a point is the man that is running the bet and she really doesn’t expect to develop feelings for him. Harry Stephens has a reputation of being the office Romeo and has plans to win the office bet he’s set up but Alice proves to be much more than he bargained for.

I found this book to be highly entertaining because Alice has a lot of rules for dating and she calls Harry out on a lot of his BS. But what was really fun is that in between it all, they get to know one another and find that not only do they have things in common they genuinely like each other. They make some missteps along the way and Alice’s insecurity from the past rears its ugly head making this a highly volatile story.

I enjoyed the ups and downs of this book and how both Alice and Harry went through a metamorphosis of sorts to arrive at the end point. All Bets Are On is one of those books that proves love can make you crazy, it will make you want to be a better person, and it is always, always interesting.
