Play to Win

I just finished Play to Win by Jodie Slaughter and here are my thoughts.

Miriam is stuck in a rut. She is still working the same dead end job, in the same town, sleeping in the same bed she grew up in. Her and her mama are barely making it but that doesn't stop her mom from playing the lotto. When Miriam goes to pick up her mother's play, she decides to get one for herself. She cannot believe her luck when she finds out she is the winner of the jackpot! Only snag... she hasn't divorced the man that walked out on her 8 years ago and he could be entitled to half.

Leo never expected to hear from Miriam after that day so when she calls, begging him to come home so she can get her divorce and pay him off. Problem is, Leo doesn't want a divorce. He wants his Miriam back.

This book was funny as all heck and had me chuckling at the witty banter and silly things the characters get up to. I love Miri from the get go. She was never greedy and wanted to help everyone. I loved it. I loved that she knew who she was. She used her time away from Leo to find her inner goddess but it took winning the lotto for her to truly dig into what she wanted from life. It's amazing though how money didn't bring her happiness. It bought just as much stress.

I loved the passion that came off every page. This rom com had real pizzazz and the writing was so good. Loved the flavor and the vibe and I cannot wait to read more from this author.
