From bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes a steamy novella about first love and second chances where a city girl returns home for a Valentine\u2019s Day tradition\u2026and the boy who broke her heart.<\/b><\/p>\n

Roses are red, violets are blue\u2014someone in Rose has feelings for you\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn\u2019t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It\u2019s been ten years, but you don\u2019t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose\u2014and he\u2019s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she\u2019s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they\u2019ve needed all along.<\/span><\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLove doesn\u2019t always make sense, but it can endure time, distance, even mistakes.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Kiss Lottery<\/i>\u00a0is a sweet, heartwarming, friends-to-enemies-to-lovers, small town romance featuring Everyly and Beckett. After high school, Everly left the small town of Rose, Tennessee with a broken heart. She has lost her best friend in an instant and never wanted to return. Years later, she is invited back to Rose for the annual Kiss Lottery. She\u2019s intrigued by who could have sent the invite and decides she could work on her podcast while looking into the event.<\/p>\n

Beckett\u2019s parting words to Everly crushed her and he hasn\u2019t seen her for ten years. Now she’s back in town and he doesn\u2019t know how to feel. When these two are paired up for a date through the Kiss Lottery, they spend enough time together to realize that maybe the past can stay in the past and there\u2019s a chance they can have a future with each other in their lives.<\/p>\n

Beckett and Everly had a bad falling out and they never thought they would have the chance to face the past. But Beckett has some surprises up his sleeve and shows Everly how he really feels. It\u2019s cute to see these two together. We get the more serious side of their story and why their friendship ended in the first place as well as the connection they once shared.<\/p>\n

I love that Beckett knew what he wanted and pursued Everly even when she tried to push him away. I loved that they could finally open up and face what happened. This is such a sweet, swoony read that is sure to put a smile on your face.<\/p>\n
