Pushing His Luck

Winning the Billionaire Series, Book 4

De: Kira Archer

Narrado por: Pippa Jayne

What happens when a girl with the worst luck ever meets a guy with all the luck in the world?

Risk assessor Charley Claybourne has always known her luck pretty much...well, sucks. Getting soaked in lactose-free chocolate milk thanks to a hunkylicious, blue-eyed stranger is bad enough. But discovering that he's her new billionaire client and could make or break her career? Oh hi, it's me, the icing on top of the world's most craptastic cake.

Now Charley has to decide if Chris Lachlan, Disney prince made flesh, is a good risk to be CEO of his family's billion-dollar corporation. You know, if a reckless adrenaline junkie - who eats the unhealthiest food known to man and has dated cartel princesses, thieves, and actual spies - could ever qualify as the "good" kind of risk.

But Charley isn't immune to the charms of this hot, trouble-seeking billionaire. And as luck would have it, she'll have to choose between trashing her career...or falling head-over-broken-heels for the biggest risk of her life.

Contains mature themes.

Cute!

A cute story with a good ending. Very little drama and good opposites attract story.

3.75 stars

This was a cute, mostly enjoyable story with low steam. Sex scenes are included but are very short with few details. I don't mind this, but this story did feature very little sexual tension as well. It was there but it was slight.

I enjoyed this author's writing style quite a bit, which contributed to my enjoyment of the story despite the low sexual tension. These characters had an interesting dynamic that was often amusing, but I kept waiting for more. At a certain point, it felt like their relationship growth stalled out.

The end of the book even aligned with my impression of the couple somewhat. Spoilers: We find out the couple has been together for years and the FMC keeps turning down the MMC when he proposes and they have no plans for the future. They are just living life and enjoying each other, come what may. There's nothing wrong with this at all, but in a book where the characters don't exchange "I love yous", has low steam and their growth seems to stall out, it just kinda adds up to an unserious relationship that could be over when the wind blows a different direction. I'm sure a lot of people enjoy this ending because it's different from the traditional epilogue of babies and/or a wedding/proposal, but with this particular couple, I just don't feel like the reader gets anything in the story that solidifies this as a HEA ending. Definitely a HFN ending though.

All that being said, again, the writing style bumps my rating of this book up despite the issues I had with the story. 3.75 stars.

loved it
