high but the prize is worth it Ask Alice Ford to shine in the boardroom and it's a done deal Ask her to go on a first date however and she's a uivering mess So when she discovers that she's the target

takes one to know one But what is Harry really after And when his kisses throw a curveball into the situation is Alice ready to gamble everything for loveThoughts This was one of those uick reads not too much too much to keep up with in story not too many characters not too much intrigue The storyline is slightly predictable after all we can pretty much guess that Harry Stephens is in on the office bet and that he will fall in love with Alice and end up getting caught out in his ploy However in Harry's defense he did try to back out of the bet in the endI enjoyed how the author described Alice And the details that happened in her past to make her the way she is I also liked how Alice went into the relationship with her eyes open she knew about the bet and even suspected that Harry might be a part of it But her reactions were different once her heart became involved But one thing about Alice she can admit her own faults I found that really likeable in her characterI had trouble buying Harry as a 'playboy' I just didn't get that vibe from himno matter how the author tried to portray him that way While he did sleep with most of the girls in the office and he was sometimes harsh in his break up techniue for me he just didn't seem the typical playboyAll in all I enjoyed the story and it was a uick light hearted readRate B by SarahCheck out of our great reviews at My view This book starts a little predictable and the first two chapter sounded a little repetitive but after that the author redeemed herself The story is common in love romance novels but the author gave it a refreshing spin The relationship between the characters develop in front of the readerBoth characters are believable and well written The book has fun as well as dramatic scenes Everything happening in the story has a reason and no ends are left loose Several misunderstandings happened that may put of some readers In general the book is sweet sexy and witty The author did a good job moving the story along The only downfall was the lack of passion between the characters It needed a little bit built up chemistry between themWhat I liked the mostI like the way Harrys character developedI wanted of I wanted sizzle between the main charactersWho should read it Anyone looking for a good afternoon read Rateout ofI'm really not sure how to score this I liked it but it didn't really get me emotionally involved until the end It didn't start off well because one of my pet peeves is a hero with another woman on the first page and while in this case it was the morning after his sheets weren't even cool before he was cracking onto the heroineHarry is the ultimate one night stand guy when he lets it go longer it turns into a disaster with jealous ex's stalking him relentlessly One can only assume he is great in bedAlice is all tied up in knots at one point the knots slide downwell you know and hasn't got over a nasty humiliation inflicted on her by her ex She actually feels a kindred spirit in Harry's stalkerific ex at timesThe relationship started off a bit wobbly but I liked the way we soon got into Harry's head and saw how getting to know Alice changed his point of view and made him see his lifestyle differentlyThere was a lot of stomach flipping and heat pooling so I was a little surprised flabbergasted in fact when the door remained very firmly shut Vintage romance shut in fact The word Afterwards trembles in the air Which would have probably pleased me if it hadn't been so unexpected There were no virgins anywhere in sight after all Which harks back to my earlier assumption that he must be great in bed How come half London gets to find out but not me sulksOverallthis was probably a little formulaic and predictable An enjoyable read but not a memorable one Except maybe for the word 'Afterwards' Still getting over that This and other reviews can be found on my blog My Written RomanceWhen life hands you lemons you make lemonade Right At least thats what Alice has tried to do Shes built for herself what she believes to be a respected and excellent reputation at work after some poor treatment in the past When she discovers that some of the men in the office have a book running on who can crack her shell and get her into bed the memories of the past come flooding back But this time Alice wont take it lying down Shes going to use this experience to prove a point and learn about datingProblem is she has unknowingly picked the ringleader of the bet office Lothario Harry Stephens to be her test case Neither of them ever planned on falling for each other What will happen when Alice finds out what Harrys been up toI love the chemistry between Alice and Harry The banter is witty and interesting and you can feel them growing ever closer Alice is wonderful I love that she didnt want to lay down and be a victim the fact that she isn't makes her a winner in my eyes Watching her call Harry out on his crap is fabulous Harrydear Harry You are a bit of a tart my dear but a tart with heart His struggles with his conscience and his growing feelings for Alice were really well done He could have come across as a douche bag at the start lets face it he was heading there but I just thought his progression and growth was lovelyThis is the first book that I have read by Charlotte Phillips and after reading All Bets are On I can uite happily say it will not be the last She has a really lovely voice and I very much enjoyed watching how she allowed her characters to grow and changeMy ratingout ofNote I was provided with an advanced reader copy

so feel for the heroine and her plight and it drew me in and made me want to read this book This book made me laugh made me sad and even made me a little angry To me thats what a good book does it makes you feel and All Bets Are On will definitely do that and What would you do if you found out you were the subject of an office bet Well Alice Ford decides to take the bull by the horns and fight back trouble is she doesnt realize that the person shes decided to use to prove a point is the man that is running the bet and she really doesnt expect to develop feelings for him Harry Stephens has a reputation of being the office Romeo and has plans to win the office bet hes set up but Alice proves to be much than he bargained forI found this book to be highly entertaining because Alice has a lot of rules for dating and she calls Harry out on a lot of his BS But what was really fun is that in between it all they get to know one another and find that not only do they have things in common they genuinely like each other They make some missteps along the way and Alices insecurity from the past rears its ugly head making this a highly volatile storyI enjoyed the ups and downs of this book and how both Alice and Harry went through a metamorphosis of sorts to arrive at the end point All Bets Are On is one of those books that proves love can make you crazy it will make you want to be a better person and it is always always interesting After reading a very so so KISS title when they first came out I'm enjoying them and A few were excellent reads some were very good like this one I have mixed feelings about it though I liked the plot a lot but if I were the author I might have gone in some slightly different directions I like it when a hero has to grovel after being an ass and a jerk I would have liked his hero to crawl on his knees for a couple of miles before being forgiven WEL WRITTEN ROMANCEAlice hasn't dated for three years after a disastrous relationship went badly wrong Making a decision to completely change her life she's moved to London and is totally focused on her job Dating and relationships play no part in her life That is till she discovers she's the subject of an office bet Distraught she's having a crying jag in the ladies toilet that's where Harry the office Romeo finds her she doesn't tell him about the bet she's discovered but she does confide that her life consists only of her job He offers to help her get back on the first step of the dating ladder After thinking it over she decides that she can use Harry as a guide for the sort of man to avoid She just needs to study his methods so that in future she can recognise and avoid the players like himThis is an above average story for this publisher The author has a very pleasing writing style While I liked Alice immediately Harry was a little difficult to connect with he wasn't a very nice man I was surprised Alice who seemed very on the ball didn't put two and two together But I did enjoy Alice and Harry's relationship there were moments of humour and sadness Of course it's obvious what's going to happen and I was totally looking forward to a Harry getting his comeuppance.
