This book felt more like an introduction to what Zoe and Aiden would be than how they came to be.
It was unsatisfactory. They barely talked to each other, first of all. And then they fell in love with each other?? Excuse me, but how?? If it hadn’t been for the epilogue, I would have thought for sure these 2 would NOT last as a couple. Like I’m sorry but they were too different as individuals to be compatible?? A true romance book would have given us a story of how Zoe and Aiden bridged those differences… but no. Hence me calling this book as an INTRODUCTION to the idea of them being a couple.
I don’t know. Compared to the first book, this one was a let-down to me.

This book is the second installment of “A chance of a lifetime series” and follows Zoe story after winning the lottery. Despite being part of a series it can be read as a standalone novel.
Zoe is an intelligent, ambitious and successful lawyer who used to work on a large firm, not always defending the good side. After receiving the money, Zoe quits her job and starts searching for what will give her a sense of accomplishment, being forgiveness a huge part of it.
This book was much heavier than the first one of the series. I enjoyed both main characters, how they worked on their problems and how their relationship ended developing. As the relationship starts with something close to hate, I would have liked to see more of the good parts between the couple. Most of the time I’ve felt that Aiden was being a jerk (even with his POV) and when they started enjoying each other company I’ve felt heir relationship was more physical than what the author intended.
Good follow up on the series

This next in the series follows Zoe as she comes to terms with guilt from past professional behavior toward Aiden and his family. This was a fake relationship trope that didn't ring quite as true to me as the others in the series but it was still a fun read.
