No Small Bet by Samantha Christy
4.0
I wanted so badly to give this book 5 stars because every other book I’ve read by Samantha Christy has absolutely blown me away. However, Hawk really put a damper on me being able to fully enjoy this book.
Hawk is the epitome of an anti-hero for 98% of this book. He’s arrogant, self-riteous, & downright rude. He is very immature for a 30 yr old & the definition of a spoiled trust fund baby.
Then along comes Addy. She is kind, funny, & loving. The way she steps into the role of being BG/Rivi’s caregiver is so selfless and heartwarming. Because of her empathetic persona, she quickly begins to see through Hawk’s facade & wears him down.
Hawk finally redeems himself at the end but it was almost too late because I was beginning to give up hope on him being a decent human being. The epilogue is where it’s at though. If nothing redeemed him before then, that did it for me.
Overall, I still give this book 4 out of 5 stars because as usual, it was well-written, as every other book by SC is. And Addison was the real MVP.
