A lifetime of doing as she’s told.
Belmira Tavares is a good girl. She doesn’t get into trouble or sleep around. She follows all of her mother’s rules, even the cruel ones. But everybody makes mistakes. Even careful, obedient Belmira.
One night of disobedience.
Her mistake is named Felix Ferreira. He’s handsome and charming and enough of a playboy that her mother will never approve. It was only supposed to be one night, one little rebellion before she resigned herself to living a life dictated by her mother.
But Felix wants more. He might want forever.
If Belmira is ever going to build a life free from her mother’s control, she’ll have to stop choosing the safe bet and choose herself instead.
SAFE BET is the first installment in an angsty, slow burn trilogy about two people who are perfect for each other—if only they can get the timing right.

This was an emotional read seeing the things that Belmira had gone threw. She was able to remain strong and be a caring person. Former bad boy Felix is a caring loving guy at heart. These two have a insta love story that has it’s bumps in the road that you will need to make sure of for trigger warnings. This book me reading on the edge of my seat then getting to the end going back and forth on my kindle to make sure that I didn’t miss anything. The cliffhanger was not one that I was thinking. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen in the next one.
