Being able to stand on your own two feet, sometimes requires getting knocked off them completely...

McKenzie “Kenzie” Lane is newly graduated from college and looking forward to a dream internship she has lined up for the summer in LA. Unfortunately, her controlling mother has other plans.

Colby Singer, with his hot-as-sin looks and wicked charm, is never without attention from the ladies. Despite suspecting how Kenzie feels about him, he’s always kept her comfortably off-limits since she’s the baby sister of one of his best friends. But when he’s determined to distract her temporarily from the stress of her mother’s ultimatum, deciding to show her some fun, he quickly finds that keeping her in the friend zone is not as easy as he’d hoped.

Once Kenzie realizes this may be her last opportunity to gauge her long-time crush’s true feelings, she puts it all out there in the form of a bet. It's the perfect idea for her perfect man.

Until he isn’t.

Will a dose of reality lead to true love? Or will it crash and burn before it can even get started?

Full Length Standalone book with no cliffhanger. Third book of the “Something Series”

Recommended for mature readers due to situations of language, and sexual content.

McKenzie Lane has had a serious crush on Colby Singer for the majority of her twenty-two years. And for every single one of those years, he has treated her just like his kid sister.

And now on top of all that, her parents are demanding that she give up on her dreams and return home to attend a prestigious Ivy League university. She’s at a crossroads and doesn’t know where to turn.

Shockingly, it’s Colby who steps in and suggests that they spend the weekend in Vegas at one of his hotels to just relax and there she can contemplate her future.

And with one simple bet, they get more than they ever asked for.

He shrugged, obviously not ready to answer the question. “When are we doing ours for the bet?”

Shock didn’t even begin to describe my reaction. “Uh, I got the impression you didn’t want to. And since I’m quickly finding out the only thing worse than having to bet someone into kissing you is confirmation they don’t want to, you’re totally off the hook.”

He shook his head. “No, a bet’s a bet, but you aren’t going to act weird about it after, are you?”

“I’m already weird, but no, I’m reasonably confident there’s life after kissing Colby Singer— life which doesn’t involve dotting your last name with a little heart and planning a wedding.”

Colby has tried to keep Kenzie at arms length and it’s getting harder and harder. After an impromptu weekend in Vegas, it’s downright impossible.

She’s far more beautiful than he ever imagined. But Kenzie is far too good for him. His past has forever marked his soul and he’s not going to let that touch her – ever.

Even if it means walking away from the love of the one girl that could save him.

“That’s bullshit. You may not be willing to admit it now, but I know you’re in love with me. And it’s not about you not having the capacity to give me more, it’s about you not trying because of what you heard back there.” My voice broke. “We can work through this, but walking away right now would be a mistake.”

He swallowed hard, emotion clogging his voice. “The biggest one of my life. I’m sorry.” He kissed my forehead and left out the door without a glance back.

Aubrey Bondurant never fails to amaze and Bet Me Something is no exception! Not only was the chemistry between Kenzie and Colby molten hot – she laced the story with a kind of sweet pain that can only come from truly finding out who you are and sacrificing everything for it.

She even gives us a glimpse at the future of all of the characters in the series and it made for one really enjoyable read. And the ending?

It was everything a true lover of romance could ever ask for…
