Blurb:
Sydney Walker’s new job is perfect. As the live-in nanny to the most famous quarterback in the NFL and his beautiful wife, she couldn’t have it any better. Their kids are adorable. Her bosses are more than generous. Plus, there are hot football players at the house all the time. Life can’t get much better than this.
Until her life turns into an absolute nightmare. The media is abuzz with rumors that she and her boss Drew Callahan are having a torrid affair. Everyone knows the truth—except the public. So Drew’s wife Fable comes up with the perfect idea.
She creates a fake relationship between Sydney and one of the rookie players on Drew’s team. Wade Knox is forever indebted to Drew and Fable and readily agrees to the set up. Pretending to be in a romantic relationship with the hot nanny for a week—how hard can it be?
Crazy how it only takes one week for two people to fall head over heels in love…
(This mash-up new adult romance features characters from both the One Week Girlfriend series and The Rules series.)
Review:
Well, this book was sweet. I loved being in Drew + Fable world again. It felt like going home, and I am so happy they are still as strong as ever, together.
Safe bet is a fast read filled with a really nice and sweet romance.
Sydney is a really down to earth girl. She made some mistakes (who didn't when they were 17?) but she is determined to make amends and go on with her life. The job at Challahan's is the perfect fit for her. She really likes it and the independence it brings is good for her.
Wade has grown up and became an adult. I remember him from the first two books, and I am glad he chose the right path to walk on. He is really nice and cares a lot about Sydney. Which was so refreshing! The lack of drama in this book was pure relief.
On the romance side, Safe bet was good. Believable. This sort of thing could have happened in real life. There wasn't much drama to it, which brings this book a wave of freshness - I believe this is becoming a trait for Monica Murphy, which is good.
All in all, Safe bet was a good read. I highly recommend it to all romance lovers, and young adults out there!
