Publisher Description
When three friends buy a lottery ticket, they never suspected that, for each of them, love will be the biggest win of all
A scientist with a quiet, steady job at a university, Kit Averin’s sudden windfall changes nothing, with one exception: the fixer-upper she plans to buy, her first and only real home. It’s more than enough to keep her busy, until an unsettlingly handsome, charming, and determined corporate recruiter shows up in her lab…
Ben Tucker is willing to put in the time to talk Kit into a big-money position in his firm. Especially when sticking around his hometown for the summer gives him a chance to reconnect with his dad. But the longer he stays, the more questions he has about his own future and where he belongs.
What begins as a chilly rebuff soon heats up into an attraction neither Kit nor Ben can deny – and finding themselves lucky in love might just be priceless…
A heartwarming and funny romance, for fans of Mhairi McFarlane and Jo Watson.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This novel is the introduction to the Chance of a Lifetime series and an outlandish imagining of what would happen if three friends won the lottery together. Upon deciding to split the winnings evenly, all three have their own plans and here we focus on Kit—a scientist who decides to buy her first home. Meanwhile, Ben is a recruiter determined to bring Kit to work for a research and development firm, but convincing her to make the move is harder than he expected. Kate Clayborn crafts a sweet, easy-going romance with a slow burn and a irresistible premise that makes this book a comforting read. This is a wonderful debut with a writing style that flows naturally with a cast of characters that help the lovely twists and fill the story with soul.

I read these out of order, but I don’t think that matters…
This book was cute! Science nerd, Kit, is beating headhunted by work focused, Ben. She’s trying to make a home in a small town after a pretty unstable childhood and he’s temporarily back home to a town he ran away from to look after his dad.
There’s lots of old family drama, cute moments, great female friendships and enough steamy scenes to get you through. The background characters are cute and keep the story interesting.
