The Lucky Ones

I first want to thank Netgalley the author and Mira publishing for my arc of The Lucky Ones. This is not my first novel by Tiffany Reisz I have also read The Red which if you love Erotica you should pick that up as well. I finished this book in a day and that to me tells me that this is a great read. The book takes place in coastal Oregon. In a house that freakishly looks like a dragon if you look just right. A foster home to many children who needed their foster father, Dr. Capello like nobody else. Only Dr. Capello, or Dad, could tackle this crew. Allison left this home suddenly as a child and never came back, that whole event a blur in her inner psyche. She hasn't looked back on that home, that family, until she gets a letter from her foster brother asking her to come home. Their father, Dr. Capello is dying. Allison the mistress to a rich man just got dumped received a lump sum of money did what any woman would do she opens the letter and Pandora's Box along with it and goes back home.
Roland the older brother has so many things he needs to say and so many things that need to be finished between them. What I loved about this book is the same thing toward the end is what I hated. While I understand why “Dad” adopted all seven orphans as the story unfolds O wasn't sure if I liked him hated him or just felt sorry for him.
In starting this book, I was expecting a solid mystery and a little bit of romance in true Reisz style, and the author certainly delivered on that point, but the plot offers much more with complexity and an intricately weaved plot bringing the characters full circle. As such, Tiffany Reisz pens a masterful and provocative narrative that allows the reader to experience the highs and lows of humanity. In this novel, you will not figure it out up until the last page. I will continue to read books by this author because I am never disappointed.
