Beginner's Luck by Kate Clayborn

5.0

This is the first in a series about a group of girlfriends who buy a lottery ticket on a drunken whim and end up winning enough to set them up for life. Kit is a scientist, and Ben is the corporate recruiter who is sent to woo her away from her steady, settled life. So many things I loved about this one--complex, fully developed characters with real family issues that aren't perfectly resolved, a secondary character with a hearing impairment, a STEM nerd heroine who is not an insecure virgin, and one of my favorite tropes--a reformed bad boy hero. Also one of the most serious "oh God he totally effed it up, how will they get together now" situations ever. I liked this one so much I binged the other two in the series immediately, and I’m here to tell you they’re all fabulous, although this first book is my favorite.
