Sizzling Hot Book Reviews
Lucky Bet by Melissa Hosack was a delightful, quick read. I was impressed with how Ms. Hosack was able to pack a surprising amount of story and sexual into just a few chapters. Lucky Bet puts an interesting twist on the traditional friends to lover stories. Sam and Jackson have been best friends ever since she was accidentally assigned to be Jackson’s college dorm roommate. They work for the same company so their friendship has only gotten tighter over the years. They head off to Vegas with two other college buddies for a weekend of fun and gaming. The four of them decide to make some exotic wagers to add spice to their weekend. Sam loses her bet which results in her agreeing to a ménage a Quattro. After a hot night with her male friends, Sam finds herself thinking of Jackson differently. She begins looking at him as a lover instead of a friend but she doesn’t know how Jackson feels. Will she lose his friendship or gain something special? I really liked all the characters in Lucky Bet. In fact, the three men were so well-developed and appealing that I wished I could have been in Sam’s shoes. Ms. Hosack wrote some unbelievably hot sex that left me wanting more. Yet she didn’t skimp on the characterization. Sam and Jackson were authentic and their concerns were very realistic. It’s a scary transition from friendship to lovers and I completely understood their fears. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Hosack and I am excited to have found another author I can enjoy. If you’re looking for something good to read while you’re waiting for your drink to chill, then Lucky Bet would be a good gamble.
