Bet Me

by Jennifer Crusie

Min Dobbs knows that happily-ever-after is a fairy tale, especially with a man who asked her to dinner to win a bet. Cal Morrisey knows commitment is impossible, especially with a woman as cranky as Min Dobbs. When they say good-bye at the end of their evening, they cut their losses and agree never to see each other again. But Fate has other plans, and it?s not long before Min and Cal are dealing with a jealous ex-boyfriend, Krispy Kremes, a determined psychologist, chaos theory, a mutant cat, Chicken Marsala, and more risky propositions than either of them ever dreamed of including the biggest gamble of all - real love.

'Wallbanger' mixed with 90-s atmosphere (even though I'm sure book isn't set in the 90s). Same set of characters, little bit different outcome.

Too much:
- chicken marsala and doughnuts eating (and make it sexy)
- talking about dieting and how carbs are evil (made me want to shove as much bread in me as I can)
- horrible moms (who hurt them?)

Overall enjoyable read with HEA for everybody (insert Oprah gif here)
