THE VALENTINE'S BET

Listeners will enjoy an enemies-to-lovers romance as grumpy Parker Harris repeatedly meets Amy Gibson at singles events. Amy remains determined to find herself a boyfriend despite a series of awkward encounters and first dates from which the cynical Parker ends up rescuing her. Vanessa Moyen and Lee Samuels shine at portraying the pair as they maintain their distance while making a bet over whether they'll ever achieve the relationships they seek. Their slowly developing friendship is enriched by the emotion both narrators reveal beneath the characters' exteriors. This lighthearted, fun romance will please fans of stories whose characters well deserve their happy endings. E.J.F.
