"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.

It was cute

The fake relationship trope is predictable but this book was a fun read! Sybil did annoy me sometimes but overall still fun the talk about adhd in woman makes sense as to Sybil’s character.

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.

love

this book is by far the cutest sweetest and a little funny look forward to seeing more from you

Aye pobresita Sybil.

I just felt so bad for her. It was like no matter what she did and how great her intentions were everything was just always messed up and her family constantly came at her sideways and once it got to be too much eventually, her sister would intervene. I just feel for characters like that because it’s just extremely heartbreaking. I really enjoyed the story. I thought it was very cute and it took a bit of a lighter tone than the other books by Denise Williams. Kieran was such an amazing character, and I felt bad for him too because he just carried the weight of the world on his shoulders and he just wanted to fix everything and make everything perfect but at the same time he was denying himself happiness. I listened to this via audiobook, and the narration was absolutely top-tier on both parts. Definitely a cute story and a cute read and I would highly recommend it for someone that wants something feel good with just a touch of spice.

love conquers all

I loved how it took the two lead characters to complete the missing part of each other's lives without each ever even knowing they needed it.
