About this listen

"I'm a forever fan."—Tarah DeWitt, USA Today Bestselling Author of Savor It

A lottery ticket + donuts = love in this steamy new fake dating romance from beloved author Denise Williams.

Sybil Sweet has always been lucky, but lately she can’t catch a break. After years of bouncing from job to job in search of something that feels right and from man to man in search of something special, Sybil is worried that she’s the directionless, floundering daughter her family thinks she is. All she really wants now is a little financial stability and carb comfort. Lucky for her, she’s got just enough in the bank to buy a lottery ticket, and the late-night donut store is open.

Kieran Anderson put his dreams of becoming a doctor on hold to take over running his family’s bakery, and after fighting a losing battle to save the place, he’s exhausted, broke, and no closer to getting back to school. But when a whirlwind of a woman sweeps in late one night, flirty energy gives way to more…until she runs out the next morning, leaving behind her winning lottery ticket.

Lucky for Kieran, his attempt to return the ticket looks like a grand romantic gesture and goes viral, sending sales through the roof. In an effort to keep the store afloat and to convince Sybil’s family she can make good relationship choices, they agree to fake a relationship for three months. Even with hundreds of millions of dollars, finding each other might end up being the sweetest bit of luck for both of them.

This was cute

As someone who cares so much, and decisions backfire on me, this one hit home and just made me feel seen. The pressure from family as well.

The way parents can down their children. I love the plot and the narration.

The reading at the end, I still love the story, but the format of the story was read didn't set well with me. But it didn't ruin the whole story.

Nope.

I usually enjoy this author but man, this one is about as entertaining as watching paint dry. The ‘plot’ moves at a snail’s pace. The FMC is supposed to be endearingly chaotic but she comes across as a bum. Way too much throwaway dialogue. Skip this one.

CONTAINS SPOILERS - I’m Struggling With This One

I’m not done yet, I don’t normally do reviews before I’m done, but I am really, really, really struggling with the female character. This is the 1st of Denise Williams books that I have felt this way about and I’m bummed because it is so hard to find women of color (WOC) romance authors that I like reading, and so few of them in general. I just find the female character completely unlikeable. I have known plenty of people who have messed up a lot of of their lives, myself included, but never someone who does not seem to register at all when they are being a complete jerk by being inconsiderate of people’s time and feelings. At what point do you understand that the problem is you?
