Luck of the Draw by Kate Clayborn
5.0
4.5 rounded up because it’s Kate freakin’ Clayborn!
Why is this woman so talented? It makes me SICK honestly. Love Lettering and Love At First are two of the best books I’ve read all year, but when I read Beginner’s Luck it didn’t do it for me, so I wasn’t planning on finishing this series. But man I’m glad I did because I’m ashamed I even considered it.
I’m NOT partial to dual POV/1st person but I let it go here because Kate manages two gorgeous emotional arcs that intersect together in such a lovely way. Her heroes are just so good—particularly her shyer ones—and reading Aiden’s voice did add a lot to the story.
I’m not sure how she does it but Kate just finds a way to put words to the tiniest, most nuanced of feelings and captures them in a way that’s just so quiet and human. And then she writes spice that’s just so sexy but also tender and gorgeous and character-driven. It feels like I learn so much about craft every book I pick up by her.
