Dec 07, Sam AMNReader rated it it was amazing Shelves: slow-burnBeginners Luckfavorite-romancehigh-rating- reread-projectromanceread-in This feels like it belongs on that shelf with Act Like It or The Hating Game if anything belongs on that shelf with the Hating Game in terms of contemporary debuts. There were Beginners Luck many many great things about this Beginners Luck. The heroine and her relationships: I'm including her relationship to her job, her friends, her town, her brother they had me tearing up-sibling relationships are so crazy deep and this was well done IMO. What was wonderful is this all gave us a great idea of who Kit Well What was wonderful is this Beginners Luck gave us a great idea of who Kit is. And who she wanted to be. And girl, I'm all for comfort zones and an ambition of having a stable, content life. That said, it was truly wonderful how this STEM heroine was portrayed, for that piece wasn't at all glossed over and I even noticed subtle and wonderful things Beginners Luck the author--For example, there was no Beginners Luck by the hero that a doctor was male-and then the heroine describes her-things like this make me giddy. Beginners Luck is a sign of a wonderful feminist author. I lamented a few weeks ago about someone telling us how competent Beginners Luck STEM heroine was again! This was not the case in Beginner's Luck. Our heroine is competent, and they continually show us. So the secondary characters were all wonderful and I want to befriend every one of them. I cannot wait to read on for the next installment of or maybe the one after that as I have high hopes for Greer And then there's the hero. And the hero's dad. And the hero's, well everything felt very purposeful here too. He had me when he told her upon first meeting "I like you. He's not perfect. He holds his hopes and wants close, Beginners Luck it is clear from the outset that he begins to care deeply about Kit. I kept finding myself thinking how adored that makes people feel to have someone who pays such careful attention to them. And there's that heartbreaking fuck-up view spoiler [ that was not really his doing, but certainly led to his undoing. The hospital scene killed me, both at the time and when they referred back to it. I don't usually Beginners Luck from books, but this one burned. And he certainly had me when he looked around Beginners Luck bare Houston apartment and realized he didn't want to be there anymore. Then there's the final chapter in the salvage yard. My review feels unfocused and gushy, but it just makes me so happy to read a great book with excellent secondary characters Beginners Luck a love story that feels totally fresh.

Quick and dirty review because it's midnight and I am le tired. This book has been highly rec'd in my feed for a while now and did it measure up in giving me a well-written romance, from a debut author! Yes on pretty much all counts. I'll admit that I struggled with Kit basically throughout the whole story but could appreciate that Clayborn created this kind of heroine; a woman who is all brains and a little lot emotionally bruised. I liked that Quick and dirty review because it's midnight and I am Beginners Luck tired. I liked that about her. I liked that she was hesitant, yet unapologetically Beginners Luck, but also confused about ambition, longing for stability. But she was also snappish, and jumped to conclusions, and standoffish and it's like everything I liked about her had an opposite that made me dislike her. As for Ben. He wasn't perfect but I felt for him in a completely different way. I respected how self-aware he was, even when he didn't say the right thing at the right time, or open up, and that made me forgive him more than I could forgive Kit. Combined they were their best selves, I think, and I absolutely adored that despite the insta-attraction these two had, there was Beginners Luck solid foundation of friendship that was built up first. The supporting cast really won me over, too, and helped keep this read enjoyable when one half Beginners Luck the main characters made it less so. Beyond the writing and well-drawn hero, it's those personas that have me excited for more from this series. View Beginners Luck 17 comments. Feb 07, Jacob Proffitt rated Beginners Luck liked it Shelves: romancesteamy Beginners Luck, negative-motivation. Well crap. I finished this and Beginners Luck to review it for a week or so. Fortunately, the Beginners Luck stands out and the situation was unique enough that I retain at least some details. I liked the main couple very much throughout most of Beginners Luck novel. Ben's conflict of interest was interesting because he had some big career plans riding on convincing Kit to join his company—an act that would require major changes for her, including upsetting the comfy little nest that had been years in the making. Which me Well crap. It wasn't, and this book could stand as a textbook for how a subtle shift can alter negative motivation into positive impulses that drive plot. You see, it isn't just that she doesn't want to do things and just wants everything to stay the same. Rather, Kit is motivated by the need for stability and safety that she lacked growing up. She wants a steady home and is Beginners Luck to her employer because she needs that security. In other words, Beginners Luck comfort is carefully crafted and guarded and is a result of both thought and effort. Even better, because her motivation isn't based on "no", she is capable of considering Ben's offer through the Beginners Luck of her motivational Beginners Luck and view spoiler [her eventual refusal to accept the position hide spoiler ] Beginners Luck naturally out of who she is and doesn't require either breaking out Beginners Luck a rut or falling back into one. Because she isn't in a rut at all. And I'll admit this is a subtle read of a phenomenon that is already subtle to begin with. But I think it holds. At any rate, Clayborn does a fantastic job with the characterization for this story.
