Beginner's Luck by Kate Clayborn

4.0

This was my first Kate Clayborn and what a delightful start. Immediately you get a sense of her commitment to creating complex leads, people surrounded by community and family and work. Kit is a scientist who longs for a true home (even if it’s falling apart) while Ben is the consultant come to sweep her off her professional feet (while negotiating his own uneasy homecoming). In this intricate environment, Clayborn makes the inevitable but challenging connection between the materials researcher and her hot recruiter feel like a complete journey of self-discovery alongside a deeply romantic love story. Because it’s not just a conflict of interest that separates Ben and Kit, but a very different idea of what a successful and happy life looks like. She also introduces you to the next two heroines and you already feel like they’re your friends as well as Kit’s.
