Goodreads Synopsis: Jodie Slaughter's latest rom-com, Play to Win , is a sizzling romance where a winning lottery ticket is meant to be a new start but instead becomes a second chance at love. Miriam Butler’s life is going nowhere in the slowest, most excruciating way possible. Stuck in the same barely-paying job she’s had since she was sixteen and spending every night sleeping in the spare twin bed in her mother’s house, her existence might be hilarious if it wasn’t so bleak. One trip to her favorite corner store upends everything when she finds herself the winner of a Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot. Unfortunately, not even life-altering roses come without their painful thorns. Hers just so happen to be in the form of an estranged husband who has the right to claim his share of her money. It’s been eight years since Leo Vaughn has had a conversation with his wife. When she calls out of the blue, practically begging him to come back to Greenbelt, the last thing he expects her to tell him when he gets there is that she’s come into a whole heap of money. She offers him a life-changing proposition of his own. Take a lump sum, finally sign the divorce papers, and be done with her for good. Only, a forever without her is the last thing Leo wants. So he gives a proposition of his own. One that won’t cost her nearly as many millions, but will buy him the time to do the one thing he’s been hungry to do since he left -- win her back. Play to Win by Jodie Slaughter | Goodreads Thank you to Jodie Slaughter, St. Martin's Press, and NetGalley for providing me with an ebook advanced copy of Play to Win for me to read and review. This is the second book by Jodie Slaughter that I've read and this one met all my expectations! It was filled with sassy, snarky, big personalities that excellently complemented the softer, more vulnerable side of the main characters. I loved that even though this wasn't part of a series with her previous novel, this story took place in the same town and included many of the same characters as Bet on It. This gave the story an extra bit of charm for me and it went perfectly with the slow burn, second chance love story of the two main characters. There were a couple of inconsistencies that gave me pause when reading but overall I truly enjoyed this story and flew through it so fast! I definitely recommend this for any reader who enjoys contemporary romance. 4 Stars!
