Geez, sounds like the day he buried his father was a bad day in more ways than one.

I would love to have that desk.

Oh, he was engaged to one of the actresses in his movies? That's bad business.

I love electrical stim. My physical therapist does it on me every week.

If he's unused to being touched with kindness, does that mean he's used to being touched with malice?

Yup, "frenzied herd of ants" is pretty much what it feels like.

Hopefully her idiot ex hasn't gotten her blackballed in every therapy office in Manhattan.

I can't sleep with the stim on either. At least I get to keep my shirt on, though.

Wow, she remembers a lot of details about the books.

Rich people need love too.

Wow, small world!

His father was a real bastard. Who does that to a kid? Were there no animal shelters around?

Oh, this is bad. Lies have a way of coming out.

Oh, that cruel old man! If he wasn't dead, I'd shoot him!

Why do they keep waking the cat up? Isn't it easier if they're asleep in the carrier?

He jumps to conclusions a lot.

His stepmother really is crazy. She let him go on thinking his mother didn't love him so her husband could have free labor?

Loved this book! This is the final book in the Wager of Hearts series and I have enjoyed the prior books, but this one was the one I was waiting for - I just couldn't wait to see what the author would do with a snarky cynic that was the remaining wagerer. She not only didn't disappoint, she exceeded anything I could have hoped for.

Gavin is a cynical writer with writer's block when his agent sends a physical therapist to his home to help him. Gavin, being Gavin, immediately tries to throw her out. Allie, the PT, won't accept payment without trying to help him. Thus starts their odd relationship that will have extreme highs and lows. I found myself liking Gavin and rooting for Allie, while hating both of their prior partners.

This is a must read for fans of the genre. While it is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I am a big fan of the authors and really enjoyed her writing. This book for me was a surprise how much I liked it because I was not in love with the male lead, Gavin at the start of the book. Then we meet Allie and well I didn't love her right away either. She is this divorced, PT that is hired to help Gavin with some back and shoulder pain. And she has this handsome, actor type husband who she divorced, but they were high school sweethearts and together a long time and so I was not sold on her being the one for Gavin.

Gavin, is a famous writer, and his ex is a movie star and he has serious writers block, alot of pain and a bet that he might lose where he bet he would fall in love in the next year. So he has a lot of problems. What I didn't liek is he was still slightly attracted to his ex. He also has a terrible home life and a mother who abandoned him. So he has issues too.

But around 30% I started loving loving Gavin and Allie. They really are perfect for each other and Gavin was so great to her that I fell hard for him too. I really enjoyed this story and I have loved this entire series. Gavin is this grumpy writer with a huge romantic streak and I loved how romantic and sweet he was.

I loved this book. I love the eccentric asshole of a character in Gavin and the good girl trying her hardest to do right in Allie. They fit together so well. I love that she accepted him for who he was, but didn't lose herself in the process. She had doubts, stayed strong but didn't close herself off to the possibilities. The way we are led to believe of Gavin, it was good to see him finally find someone or something that gave him purpose again. These two make the perfect pair and the way the author draws you into their relationship will leave you wanting more.
