Today, I am very happy to join the blog tour celebrating the release of "The Lucky Ones" by Cassie Cross, book #7 of the Love Is... series. This short (novella-length) story reads as a complete standalone, but I have read and enjoyed most of the previous books in the series.
"The Lucky Ones" features film editor Kendall and her friend and business partner Jordan, with whom Kendall has secretly been in love for years. Needing a distraction from what she believes are her unrequited feelings, Kendall has turned into a total workaholic. To help her relax, Jordan and Kendall's best friend, Skye, work together to trick her into taking a weekend vacation with Jordan in Las Vegas, where it seems as if Jordan might finally be seeing her as more than just a friend. Will what happens in Vegas stay in Vegas, or do Jordan and Kendall have a shot at a real future together when they return home?

Kendall and Jordan were super cute together, and I enjoyed the little traditions they shared, such as rolling the dice to
help make important decisions and watching
the planes take off and land at LAX. Their romantic relationship grew quickly, but
given that they had been friends for so long, it seemed like a natural progression to me. I had no problem believing in the strength of their feelings for each other.
Overall, I enjoyed "The Lucky Ones" and recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I believe it's the final book planned for this series, and if so, it was a nice way to wrap things up. I look forward to whatever Cassie Cross writes next.

About "The Lucky Ones"
Kendall Moore’s professional life has never been better. She’s an in-demand video editor who’s just started her own business, and that business is booming. She rarely has a moment to relax and has completely thrown herself into her work, which is just the way that she likes it. There’s just one tiny issue in her pursuit of professional and personal happiness: she’s getting burned out.
Of course, it doesn’t help that she’s hopelessly and secretly in love with her totally off-limits business partner, Jordan.
Jordan Murphy is an aspiring filmmaker with a past that he’s desperate to put behind him. When an opportunity arises to go to Vegas and film for a project he’s working on, he gets Kendall to agree to come along with him. After he makes a lucky bet that leads to a weekend full of fun, unexpected confessions, and a visit to a wedding chapel that neither one of them can remember, Kendall and Jordan head home wondering if what happened in Vegas should stay in Vegas…
