Just an FYI, this series only comes in an ebook version. Bridesmaid Lotto, the first in the McMaster the Disaster series is actually free from both Barnes & Noble and Amazon for the Nook and Kindle. The following two books, Gamble on Engagement and The Wedding Wager are under 5 dollars each.
Goodreads Summary: In this sequel to Bridesmaid Lotto, Josie McMaster is on the move to London for a top-secret stint as a ghostwriter for a high profile celebrity. It's her dream job; she's got a beautiful place to stay in the English countryside, full access to the celebrity, and three months to complete the best ghostwritten autobiography anyone has ever seen.
In true McMaster the Disaster fashion, Josie tumbles head-first into scandal, apparently more than just an average ghostwriter in the eyes of this new celebrity. Not to mention she has never written a biography, but...how hard could it really be?
Of course, the paparazzi is not helping matters, constantly publicizing the 'when will Jake Hall pop the question' betting pool, which is completely ridiculous considering she and Jake have only been dating a short while..or is it?
Just like Bridesmaid Lotto, I really enjoyed Gamble on Engagement, this one was also an easy read and really lighthearted. I think I actually liked it better than the first because it had more of a storyline and substance. I still feel like it only scratches the surface on things that could of been a lot more in depth. I feel like a lot of things were introduced but then weren't followed up on and then were suddenly resolved.
I thought the situation between Josie and Leo was interesting because of the irony that Josie had two of the most eligible bachelors interested her at the same time! I really hoped that it wouldn't turn into this awkward love triangle where she didn't know which she would choose and have that be the main focus. So, I was glad that it didn't happen like that and she stayed true to Jake throughout the story.
A lot of things were very predictable, like with Bridesmaid Lotto but it didn't make the story any less enjoyable. I was glad the Disaster Diary entries continued and didn't stop after the first book. Just like the first book, these sporadic entries really made me laugh while I was reading.
If you're into lighthearted stories with romance and a little bit of drama and humor, this is the series for you :)
