The Story

About the Book

The Book Club Bet is a sweet, cozy romantic comedy about finding love between the pages.

Paige Bennett is tired of being the last single friend. After watching everyone around her fall in love through cooking classes, dance lessons, wine tastings, and pottery workshops, Paige refuses to embarrass herself in the name of romance. Instead, she chooses something smarter, calmer, and far less humiliating: a romance book club.

At Mercer & Page Books, Paige expects to find thoughtful, emotionally literate men who can discuss love without making it awkward.

What she finds is Theo Mercer.

Theo is the quiet, handsome bookstore owner who leads the monthly romance book club. He remembers Paige’s coffee order, recommends books that seem to understand her a little too well, and challenges every cynical thing she says about love stories.

When Theo makes Paige a bet that three romance novels can change the way she sees love, Paige accepts. She is determined to prove that romance books set people up for disappointment.

But after-hours conversations, candlelit shelves, rare paperbacks, and one almost kiss between the books make Paige wonder if romance novels were never the problem.

Maybe she was just afraid to believe she could be part of one.

The Book Club Bet is Book 5 in The Class Crush Series, a short and cozy contemporary romance perfect for readers who enjoy bookstore romance, sweet romantic comedy, book club settings, emotional honesty, and happy endings.
