I loved the Drew + Fable books and will always jump on a chance to delve back into that world and see what’s up with one of my favorite couples. SAFE BET revolves around Wade Knox, Fable’s brother’s best friend and their nanny, Sydney. And their romance starts in a familiar way….a fake girlfriend for one week.
I liked Sydney and Wade together. She was trying to turn her life around after being kicked out of her house and forced to grow up. Wade is trying to secure his spot on the Niners. Their connection is through Sydney’s new employers, Drew and Fable Callahan. Wade may have already been a member of the extended Callahan clan, but they easily brought Sydney in and helped her feel at home. And it was easy to see the draw between Sydney and Wade as they spent time together.
What I did miss in this book was the angst. There wasn’t any. These two go through a somewhat normal romance, if you take out the fake relationship. They get to know each other and build off of that. It was nice and sweet, even if I did miss the gut-wrenching part.
It was nice to catch up with these characters and made SAFE BET a quick, enjoyable read.
