I loved the storyline for this one. The character development was fantastic and everything flowed perfectly. It was new and refreshing. I really admired Crystal and sympathized with everything she was dealing with.
I have been a fan of Isabelle Peterson’s since her first book Ditching the Dream. I devoured that series and every other book since. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this one.
Win For Love is a bit different from her other books, but still a romance. Crystal has had a tough life so far. She has basically grown up taking care of her alcoholic mother, has no idea who her father is and watched her brother go down the wrong path. She’s tried to walk away before but unfortunate events led her back home. She stumbles across a chance opportunity and needless to say it really pays off. She finally has the means to break away and make a life for herself away from it all.
She moves to Chicago, changes her name, meets a new love interest and everything seems to be changing for the better. She still struggles with self doubt, and worries that if everyone knew where she came from it would all go down the drain.
David is Chicago’s most eligible bachelor. He’s been wronged many times before by women who just see the dollar signs that come with his last name. He’s sworn of serious relationships for good, until he sees Talia (Crystal). But can he trust her or is she after his money too?
This was a refreshing, fun with a little angst thrown in, read from one of my favorite authors!
Empowering, heartbreaking, sad, love, a book that has ALL THE FEELS!
This was such a beautiful rags to riches story is so many ways. Sure it was based on a monetary windfall that changed Crystal- AKA Talia’s life but it was also a mental
And emotional windfall in so many ways.
What an empowering read! Talia had an amazing strength and compassion that captured David who was born into a wealthy powerful family and business and he saw the good in Talia when others simply saw him for his money and what it could buy them.
This was an amazing read, I loved every minute and Isabelle-Peterson proves to impress with every book I read by her. 5 stars a definite must read that has all the feels
Oh how I loved absolutely everything about this book!! Poor Crystal has done everything to drag herself out of the life she had been living…but being constantly dragged back down by her alcoholic mom. Until the lucky day she plays the lottery…and wins. Crystal is finally able to move on with her life, only to doubt everyone new that comes into her life, David included. David has his own reason to doubt everyone. It was agonizing knowing the secrets Crystal and David were keeping from each other. Plus there were also twists I definitely did not see coming! Highly recommend!!
I never tire of Isabelle’s writing! As I’ve said in other review of her books, Isabelle knows how to write about love. She has a fluid writing style where love comes out in every word she writes. She understands what makes a relationship work and how to portray that on the page. She can write some hot and steamy sex scenes as well – sometimes slow and sensual and other times hot and heavy.
I admired Crystal greatly for sticking by her alcoholic mother. I worried about her like she was my own child. I loved how David treating her – put her happiness and well-being above all else. There were several side characters that I loved as well – the Schwartzkopfs, Lainey, Jimmy.
Can’t wait for the next book!
A really good read but felt a bit too clinical with me, could do with some more emotion behind it. It mentions abuse and rape as a fleeting thing that was swept under the rug.
