Bitter Fruit

By: Lois Cloarec Hart

A silly drunken bet, that lesbian Jac can bed a straight, beautiful coworker, blows up in her face in this charming opposites-attract romance.

Boredom and booze inspire Jac Lanier to accept an unusual wager from her best friend to seduce Lauren Blaine, a beautiful coworker, within a month. One small problem: The woman is straight. Not to mention engaged. And a complete stranger. Nonetheless, Jac is pretty confident that she'll win. Naturally, her plan goes awry - after all, if you sow an onion seed, you won't harvest a peach. Will Jac reap the bitter fruit of her games when the truth comes out? Will Lauren turn the tables on her?

Fun romantic book, Anastasia Watley narrating is always awesome. Lois Cloarec Heart weaves a good story

Stupid bet, good story

This one was tough. Just based on the description you know the secret bet is going to come out at some point. It's the buildup to the breakup that stayed in the back of my head the whole time. Couple that with a heart of gold main character in an abusive relationship that I want the best for and extra emotions mingle in. Not going to ruin anything, but this is well written and gets you in your feels.

Nothing Bitter About It!

Quick enjoyable listen. I thought the narration was good. The fact the story was very good definitely helped. I do love a good bet book. Would recommend if you want to be entertained.

the narrator is brilliant

the book was engaging and a great listen. the story kept me wanting to finish the book but not rush it cause it was that good

Hard to Stop Listening

This was my first audiobook by this author and I'm already looking for my next. I loved the storyline and the main characters. Two friends make a semi drunk wager on whether Jack can seduce a straight, engaged lady from the one friend's office. The friend had a crush on Jack and part of the wager was if Jack didn't sleep with the straight coworker then Jack would sleep one time with drunk friend. thankfully the friend's plan backfires when Jack and Lauren meet and they start hanging out constantly. Jack and Lauren like each other instantly and Jack wants out of the bet. There were times I was actually stressing over how Lauren might find out about the bet ha I know that sounds funny. I really wanted Jack and Lauren to admit feelings and be a couple instead of friends and that stupid bet lingered in the background. All worked out well. I liked that they didn't have sex until later in the book when they were committed to each other. Great listen (although didn't like the specific night club mentioned again near the end). Narration was very good. Great way to spend my time in the car.
