Ratings and reviews

Good Original Story A rather angst filled romantic tale. Good original story that flowed along smoothly. The characterizations were good. The main female character was showcased as a strong, independent business woman, yet was dependent upon her siblings for validation in her romantic life. Both the main male and female characters showcased their insecurities with personal relationships. Alas, matters worked out in the end for them to attain their happily ever after. I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel via Booksprout and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.

I thought I knew who Mindy and Sam were from seeing them in the previous books. Boy was I ever wrong. They are both so much more complex and wounded than I ever guessed. As badly as I want to explain that statement, I’m afraid that if I did, I would end up deep in spoiler territory. I loved getting the chance to see inside their tumultuous relationship and learning why it always appeared so rocky and volatile. I know we’ve now seen all the Eden sisters settled, but this isn’t the end of the Eden saga. I can’t wait to see what the author brings us next. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.

A Bet with Benefits is the third installment in The Eden Empire series , Mindy Eden makes a bet with her sisters that she can attend her sister’s wedding with her ex Sam Blackwell without falling for him again. This was a very good book and truly enjoyed Mindy and Sam’s story, this was a very relatable story because some people do let their family dictate their lives and they end up being lonely due to they listen to their family and not their hearts. This was a fun quick read and I look forward to the next one in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
