Engaging and exciting from the beginning. A very realistic feel for the reader.
An irresistible slice of escapism and a joy to read. Compelling, absorbing and highly entertaining. Fast-moving and fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amelia has had it all and then lost everything, now she finds herself with it all again after winning the lottery, but when she is almost scammed out of her winnings she reaches out to her brother's best friend Nick to help her invest her money safely but after a visit to his remote island gives her more to think about then just her lottery winnings, she must accept her past to be able to get her future.

I love Lucy King and think I've read all her books. This lived up to my high expectations of her stories, and I look forward to the next one.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this

I always enjoy this author’s books. I mean, I look forward to them and jump straight in, ready to be captivated and overwhelmed. They usually have fabulous characters and totally credible plot lines.

This one should have fitted all the criteria. Exotic location (secluded tropical island), great premise (heroine forced to seek help from the man she’s hated for years) a lottery win that she wants to use in a positive and commendable way) a dishy hero who we see almost immediately, has actually loved her for years. Oh Nick - what a delicious guy!

But, somehow - and it really hurts me to say this - it did not quite hit the mark with me. I was expecting a five star read and I got a 4 star one instead. I think it was the heroine that spoiled it for me. I really could not get into her head and the way she treated the hero, what she thought about him, the way she disregarded him and his feelings - simply frustrated me.

However it was still a good read . I guess my expectations of a LK book are now so high, it’s inevitable I might be a little disappointed sometime. The quality of the writing is still excellent..

Amelia has just had a huge lottery win and nearly lost half on a scam to purchase a non existent private island! Realising she needs expert financial advice, Seb, her brother, puts her in touch with Nick who is now a self made billionaire.. Times have changed since they all want to an elite expensive boarding school. Nick was on a scholarship; now he is worth millions/ billions whilst Amelia and Sebs’ father lost their family fortune trying to win back their mother after she had an affair.
Amelia travels to see Nick then to a resort in Zanzibar. Unfortunately someone lets slip to the press that she is a lottery winner. Nick comes to rescue her and they fall into bed together. Despite Nick admitting that he has always loved her Millie refuses to commit as she blames herself for her parent’s marital strife. She goes back to London then realised that she has made a mistake, but will Nick take her back?
An interesting read. Nothing much happens. There is no angst or drama. The pivotal and most interesting part of the novel is when Nick admits that he has loved her for 18 years and has helped her in the hope she will fall in love with him. A well thought out story line which could have been condensed into a shorter read or put into a busier storyline.

Mills and boons are my guilty pleasure. They remind me of sneakily reading them at my nans house as a teenager. I love to get lost in them if I can’t sleep or if I wake early. This one was a good as the rest. Nick sounded hot and sexy and the island sounded beautiful. Thank you netgalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
