I feel like I can just say one sentence of the plot and a lot of you are going to go feral for this book. Let's test my theory: An felon who runs a brewery falls head over heels for a single mom he's married as a business arrangement.

Yea.... I thought so.

📕 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Just My Luck by Lena Hendrix

📙 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: The Kings Character series. Book 2.

📗 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: E-book ARC on Kindle. Free on KU.

📘 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗿𝗲: Small town romance

📔 𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: Co-workers-to-lovers, boss/employee, marriage of convenience, single mom, cinnamon roll MC, lots of "my wife."

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Abel runs a successful brewery, but has been having a hard time expanding due to his status as a felon. Sloane needs to access her trust to be able to start her new life in Outtatowner, but can't without a major life event. The pair decide to marry and split the funds, until they find themselves catching feelings.

🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: I do not keep my love for Lena Hendrix's books a secret. This one is no different - except that I openly wept a bit.

I love this little down Lena Hendrix has created, and I love all of the characters that I have gotten to know through the Sullivan Family series and now as part of the Kings series. Abel was always at the top of my list - a man who went to jail, always scares people when he walks around town, and has a secret gooey center for one woman? Sign me up.

His love affair with Sloane was nothing short of romantic. The pair had the grumpy/sunshine thing going, and I loved how Sloan poked holes in Abel's rough façade. It was heartbreaking to read how alienated he felt, and so great for that to come full circle at the end. I laughed, I cried, I gasped... oh - and I fanned myself PRETTY HARD during a couple of these scenes.

Outtatowner truly feels like home, and I am loving the Kings series so far.
