This is the first I've read of the series and it stood alone well. The bet thankfully didn't play too much into this story - I don't like it when there is a bet, which leads to a relationship, and the eventually the Continue Reading

We also get an over the top suspense plot with an over the top villain, which made me roll my eyes a little. But still a fun book. Rydell is a Continue Reading
