Sometimes You Lose, The Sometimes Series, Book 2It’s been three weeks since Haley Rosewood and Devon Carrington won the lottery. Most people would picture their days taking them from one exciting journey to another and their nights filled with champagne and caviar as appetizers to unbridle their passion—but that’s not what happens.Instead, Haley is trying to find a new home, a place to start her … place to start her business, and a way to keep control of her life. Devon is only trying to help her, but it seems that everything he does just pushes Haley’s buttons in the wrong way.
When a new contract comes into his security company, it threatens not only the future of his company, but Haley and Allison’s welfare as well. Devon must take drastic measures to stop it, and Haley has to trust him, but can she before it’s too late? Or will her trust in him be what destroys her in Sometimes You Lose?
Currently, the first book, Sometimes You Win, is exclusively found in the Luck of the Draw box set. It will become available as a single title in mid-August. The third book in the series, Sometimes You Just Play the Game, will be available this fall.

Winning the lottery brings big changes to both their lives. I don’t like Haley much, but her actions help make the story. Well written and edited. I received an ARC for an honest review.
The second of three books about Haley and Devon. Haley is running scared, just like she has done every other time. It is difficult to read about a character you like making terrible decisions. Devon has done nothing but prove his loyalty to her and Allison, but she still cannot trust him. I cannot wait for the final book.
What happens after the ‘happily ever after?’ Hayley and Devin are adjusting to their new life together and for Devin, it’s not quite what he had imagined. Despite their love and connection Hayley begins to let her trust issues become a wedge between them. As everyday life begins to set in, Hayley becomes more overwhelmed and leaves Devin struggling to adjust. Just as Hayley begins to find her purchase, her past comes barreling back with her and her daughter in he crossfire and Devin desperately trying to protect them.
I loved getting to follow up with these characters. Life isn’t always tidy and neat. It can be challenging and messy, yet still worth fighting for. Getting to see Devin and Hayley fight for their love was so great and heartfelt. Sometimes You Lose had just enough drama and suspense to keep me firmly glued to my earbuds and plenty of feels to have me completely invested in the characters. And OH MY GOD it ends in a cliffhanger! *dies*
Narration was once again done by Julie Walters and Gene Branson. I really liked that the narration was once again performed by the same duo. I enjoyed their performances and the emotion they both brought t the characters. I’m excited for the next part of Hayley and Devin’s story. 4 Stars.
This is part two of this series and it only gets better. Devon really is a modern day knight in shining armor but Haley would not be what I would consider a Princess. Or maybe she is. She is moody, does want to be in control and us prone to bouts of jealously.
In book 2 lots of my questions were answered AND if course I was left with some new ones. Like all of Stacy Eaton ;s books the descriptions were so good you felt like you were there in person. I ‘M looking forward to the third book….
This is book 2 of the Sometimes Series. Devon and Haley met in book 1 of the Sometime Series and book 2 picks up 3 weeks after they won the lottery in book 1. Haley still can’t believe that she won the lottery and is having a very hard time adjusting to it. She’s struggling to keep control and in doing so she’s pushing Devon away. Meanwhile Devon discovers that someone from Haley’s past is out to destroy her, her daughter Allison and him. Will Haley be able to trust Devon enough to let him help her once again or will her fears and paranoia destroy them? I highly recommend this book, but be prepared to go on an emotional roller-coaster! I can’t wait to read book 3 of the series!!!
