At Twin Oaks Country Club, there are the fortunate ones, and then there are the rest of us: the waiters, the caddies, the valets, and in my case, the cabana girls. Most days, I’m poolside in a pleated skirt, dishing out margaritas to tycoons and titans. It’s not exactly my dream job, but it does come with one perk…
James Ashwood.
He’s my silver lining in a custom black suit.
Besides being a legacy member at the club, he’s a tech mogul and Austin’s most eligible bachelor. Oh, and those dimples? Yeah, they make my stomach dip too.
On good days, I catch his sleek Porsche winding down the tree-lined drive. On better days, I steal a glimpse of his handsome profile as we pass in the hall. And on the absolute best day, I find him alone at the bar, looking for company.
“Come have a seat.”
Those four little words set me down a path I never could have imagined. Private planes, penthouse suites, and temptations around every corner make it impossible to keep my distance. His world feels decadent and wild—but overindulgence comes with a cost. Every kiss comes with strings. Every erotic encounter is a promise I’m not ready to keep.
When I pump the brakes, he hits the gas. James doesn’t want to go slow—he wants a commitment.
And the thing about the fortunate ones?
They’re used to getting what they want.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
R.S. Grey has nailed the it again with The Fortunate Ones! It’s a different kind of funny from the last couple books she released, but it is still without a doubt a five star read. Once I started I could not stop! I was reading when I should be working and hiding in the bathroom at home just to have more time alone with my book.
James is the talk of the country club that Brooke works, the rumors about him remind me of how everyone talked about Regina George in Mean Girls. He is irritable and dreamy. Once Brook got to know how him, he became complicated and broody-ish, but still charming. The Fortunate Ones had me on an emotional roller coaster. One I enjoyed very much! I was crying and laughing and hurt and I wanted nothing more than to help Brooke and James find their way!
“Some people carve their initials so deeply into your heart, they’ll always be a part of you.”
If you are looking for a romantic comedy with a couple that has a rather tumultuous start to their relationship with one heck of a pay off then you need to grab The Fortunate ones!
