Bet You

Franklin U, Book 4

De: Neve Wilder

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

Spencer

Whose brilliant idea was it to build university housing next to one of Franklin U’s most notorious party frats?

I’m a real student—the kind who actually came to college to learn, not some dumb frat bro who sees Franklin U as a four-year challenge to consume the most booze and throw out the best pick-up line.

Their all-hours lifestyle is driving me crazy. Not to mention, the jerks keep taking my assigned parking spot.

But the worst offender might be Cory Ingram. Sure, he has a smile that could melt a polar ice cap, but no way will I ever be one of his minions. I’m pretty sure I made that clear when I blew my top at him. So I have no idea why he’s suddenly everywhere around me, turning on the charm like I might actually fall for it.

Nope. Not gonna happen.

Cory

From the first day I set foot on Franklin U’s campus, everything has been golden. I have a ton of friends, endless parties to be the life of, and whoever I want in my bed on any given night. Sure, I’m a shameless party boy, but I’m not a jerk. Ask anyone. Seriously.

Even the crotchety old groundskeeper waves and smiles at me when I pass.

Then there’s Spencer Crowe. I’ve never seen a guy’s face get so red over a parking spot. Even when I try to make it right, he proceeds to give me the tongue-lashing of a lifetime—which is about the moment I notice that, in addition to being irrationally irate, he’s also crazy hot.

My friends think I’ve finally met the one person I can’t seduce…

Bet you I can.

Lines of text that don’t matter but I am typing them to make the appt happy.

Omg beyond great super hot

I loved how they started out in a love hate relationship, and if your are into being watched in a vulnerable situation then this is the book for you , I don’t generally leave reviews, but I loved everything about this book

really enjoyed this one

Great addition to this series. Never Wilder wrote the perfect story and addition to this series. Nick J. Russo as always really brought this one to life. his performance really made this book better. very enjoyable and entertaining. never paused, I listened straight through.

The Jeep really

why why would you torment the Jeep you almost lost me there lol J/k I love how this series is written by different authors makes each book even more unique

Loved It!

Revisited this on audio as soon as it released because I loved Cory and Spencer so much! Nick J. Russo was great bringing their story to my ears!

I really, really enjoyed this! I absolutely loved Cory right from the start. Spencer was a bit prickly at first but of course he grew on me as time went on and Cory got him to let his guard down with him more and more. The writing was great. The banter and dialogue were just on point. It was SAF, scorching hot with some very, very steamy solo and voyeur scenes that burned up my kindle! Their fall into a relationship and love surprised them both, had some complications, and an amazing grand gesture that had me smiling from ear to ear. We got quick glimpses from past Franklin U characters and a look at the next couple to come. Just loving this series!

Sweet and comforting

All the books I’ve read in the Franklin U series are like comfort food — sweet, familiar, almost cozy in their warmth and lightness. Bet You is no exception. While there is nothing groundbreaking here, this story hits all the right notes and left me grinning just like a certain “hot idiot.” Great narration by Nick Russo giving the two leads such different and unique voices. His voice is like silk. Definitely recommended!

Great characters but major consent issues

I loved the characters and story. Their progression from enemies to lovers felt real and had actual depth. The betrayal reveal and makeup were very emotionally satisfying and major props for using the best internet moment (aka Tom Holland lip sync battle) as part of it.

BUT the non-consensual voyeurism to start was just not ok. I hate when romance stories try to make lack of consent acceptable or even a part of falling in love. major ick to what would otherwise be a 5 star review from me.

Also, this is a little nit picky but given the character's supposed expertise, bettas are AGGRESSIVE fish. Ted would have killed the cories and definitely guppies. also, if Corey knew about fish (which he's supposed to), he would have also been able to instantly tell Ted was a male as female bettas are much smaller and lack the huge flowing fins bettas are known for. it's a little detail but shows the author did no research and that just drives me nuts. if it's worth putting in the story, it's worth giving correct info on.

Nick Russo is one of my favorite narrators and his performance was flawless. He does a great job giving each character a unique voice and filling them with emotion.

So Much Fun!

This book made me laugh so much! The banter and chemistry between the main characters was amazing. It was so witty and I loved the push and pull between the main characters. One is very annoying and the other is very persistent. It makes it so much fun. It’s steamy, and the ending was chef’s kiss amazing. It belongs on the movie screen. The narrator did a fantastic job on the audiobook as well.

DNF

Spencer is annoying hypocrite and drama queen, first making a mountain out of an anthill and next second going all gooey over Cory with absolutely no reason ať All as that guy completely lacks any charm or wit or cleverness.. No need to waste time on these buffoons !

Concerning the narrator, he's unvelievably irritating, but as this is basically main characteristics of both MMCs, I should probably congratulate him to job well done :D I really hope his pay was worth the time spent on it.

Very enjoyable

The formula was set - a bet was made, the bet was discovered so it causes a break up (the title of course is a dead giveaway) - it's just a matter how the author Neve Wilder handles this common formula. Not gonna lie, Nick J. Russo's performance took what would have been a fair book into a good book. There were truly funny moments - the ones when Cory and Spencer first met - but after a while it just kind of fizzled and settled into a predictable book. I liked the cameos of the other characters from the FU world.

3 stars - worthy of a repeat listen
