In Stroke of Luck by Phoenix Collins, we meet Lucky and Carter. Life has thrown Lucky a curveball. She moves to Atlanta to attend Georgia Institute of Technology on an athletic scholarship, but an injury results in the loss of her scholarship. Determined to graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering, Lucky begins working as a dancer at Nirvana to pay her way through school. She is also grateful for her boyfriend Donovan, who lets her move in to his apartment AND he pays all the bills. Even though, with their schedules, Lucky and Donovan rarely see one another, and they haven't been intimate in months, and Donovan never wines and dines, Lucky is a hopeless romantic and she believes that everything will turn around once she graduates. Nirvana is the hottest and most exclusive lounge in Atlanta and Carter is part owner. Carter has always been enamored by Lucky, but she's kinda mean and won't give him the time of day. But when Donovan breaks up with Lucky and kicks her out of his apartment, leaving her with no place to go, Carter has a chance to make his true intentions with Lucky known.

Stroke of Luck is my first book from Phoenix Collins and it was sooooo good! I really appreciated the storytelling, writing, and character development. Lucky is a quick-witted girl making the most out of challenging circumstances, so I found myself rooting for her. Carter is wealthy, generous, attentive, and sexy af - I want my very own Carter right now. I really liked the forced proximity trope in the book and I think Phoenix Collins really hit the mark with the spicy scenes.

If you like romance novels with a friends with benefits, workplace, forced proximity, or the billionaire romance tropes, then you're going to absolutely love Stroke of Luck.

Thanks to Phoenix Collins for the ARC.
