The science of attraction is getting seriously tested…
Meet River. He used to be the nerd next door…only now he’s all grown up, got a sleeve of tattoos, and women seem to like him. A lot.
Even Lexi, the girl of River’s teenaged dreams, all bubbly sweetness—never noticed him. Until now.
There’s only one problem. They’re not meant for each other.
Now it’s up to Deanna, the super pragmatic, algorithm-fueled brains behind the new dating app Meetcute to make sure they realize it.
River might be certain he knows true love when he sees it, but Deanna knows differently, and the future of her company is riding on it. All she has to do is prove to him that what he’s feeling for Lexi isn’t love. Not even close.
…even if it means making him fall for Deanna, instead.
Challenge accepted.

My Thoughts:
The Neighbor Wager has really well-written sexual tension and steamy scenes. I enjoyed watching Deanna and River figure out they were attracted to each other.
I appreciated the contrast between Lexie and Deanna and how they each were judged in some circumstances for how they chose to present themselves. I liked Deanna's passion for her company and I thought the dating app sounded fun.
What didn't fully work for me was the romance. I could buy that River decided he was attracted to Deanna but how quickly the switch happened felt a little weird. I also felt the data app plot didn't fully work. I would have liked it to be more consistent.
🌶️🌶️🌶️ - This book includes several open-door steamy scenes as well as a lot of sexual tension and discussion of BDSM.
