    A Bet with Benefits is the third installment in The Eden Empire series , Mindy Eden makes a bet with her sisters that she can attend her sister’s wedding with her ex Sam Blackwell without falling for him again. This was a very good book and truly enjoyed Mindy and Sam’s story, this was a very relatable story because some people do let their family dictate their lives and they end up being lonely due to they listen to their family and not their hearts. This was a fun quick read and I look forward to the next one in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    This was a great read. I loved Sam and Mindy together. They did need to work on their communication skills but I liked that they finally worked things out.
  • Good read

    Between Mindy and Sam, family, money and businesses are definitely keeping them apart with a little bit of hard headedness. Can they let go of everything and really make a go of their HEA or will they continue on their crash course? Can true love win in the world of business and families? Good read with very strong characters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    I didn't realize when I first received this book that it was actually the third book of a series. The other two books don't need to have been read to be able to follow along with this one, but I do wish I would have known and read them before this book. Without reading the other books I felt that the sisters were a giant pain and really needed to step back from trying to tell Mindy what to do with her life. At the same time Mindy needed to stand up for herself both about work, and her personal life and tell her sisters to back off. I felt like Sam got the raw end of the deal, Mindy's family doesn't like him causing tension in their relationship, Mindy doesn't love him enough to stand up for their relationship, and he's bending over backwards to help simplify Mindy's life and she's still half in/ half out. Eventually it all works out but I felt Sam deserved a lot better, especially with the difficult background he's had to deal with.
