ARC Review: Betting on the Wrong Brother (What Happens in Vegas #12) by Cathryn Fox
I received a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
I love the whole falling for the brother's best friend trope. And Betting on the Wrong Brother is kinda like that with a twist.
When Andi Palmer imagined running into her childhood crush, Nolan Wheeler, the man who crushed her heart and humiliated her, she did not think she would be half-naked in the hotel elevator. And she definitely didn't think that he wouldn't recognize her or that he'd give her a false name. Except, the man's not Nolan and Andi doesn't know that.
Ryan Grayson did not expect to meet a devil in an angel's body, half-naked in the hotel elevator. But that's exactly what happens. Any woman who seduces him without trying, and then drags him to the male model contest, to participate, has to be a devil, right? Andi with her sharp tongue and quick wit, captures his attention and he can't stay away. When Ryan realizes that Andi mistakes him for his brother, he is unable to tell her the truth.
Andi's plan for revenge goes awry when she sees the genuinely good guy Ryan is. He understands her like no one else , he gets her. And he is far from the heartless man who broke her heart. If anything, he's the complete opposite. But when the truth comes out, Andi just might not forgive him.
Ryan is a successful horror writer and a dyslexic. I loved the way Ms. Fox treated the issue. She didn't belittle it, but she did not make it into a paralyzing disability either. Ryan learns to get over his shortcomings. He is also an absolutely adorable, sexy and swoon-worthy man. He treats Andi like a princess, even when he knows that she thinks he is Nolan. But Andi sees him too. Despite the past, she comes to learn that the man she sees in front of her his way different from the cocky teenager who broke her heart.
Betting on the Wrong Brother was such a fun and flirty read. You'll absolutely fall in love with the characters. The author also gave little insights into the nuances of an author's life, which I loved. This is the second book that I've read in the What Happens in Vegas series, and so far I loved them both. I can't wait to delve into the rest of the series.
