I quite enjoyed the turbulent ride along with the gripping mixture of suspense and mystery. In a nutshell, this book needs a sequel!~~~I would recommend this mystery to everyone seeking to embark on a thrilling race, not only against time but against all odds., This is an absolute thrill ride of a novel as Allie and Tom dodge the escalating threats caused by the one lottery ticket. What is a relief is that the ticket itself is never a game of keep away, but Allie and Tom who are the actual targets. Despite, or perhaps because of his blindness, Tom is the epitome of the perfect man for Allie: sexy, intelligent, emotionally damaged, and completely disdainful of material wealth that is disrupting his life. Allie herself has no problem "calling in rich" to work, but she is less enamored of the paranoia and sense of danger brought by sudden wealth. The rocketing pace is interspersed with moments of blissful hot romance and absurd humor, ensuring for a continually entertaining read. This debut series is off to a fantastic start, and I can't help but be intrigued and eager for the next installment of what is certain to be a unique new mystery., The rocketing pace is interspersed with moments of blissful hot romance and absurd humor, ensuring for a continually entertaining read.

Too Lucky to Live was BRILLIANT! I just loved the concept, from love at first 'sight'/ smell of soap to dark ransom plots and bodies at every turn. The concept of winning that sort of sum and people NOT being jealous seemed totally plausible. Littered with characters that I would love to be my friends an utterly fabulous read! LOVED it!, I quite enjoyed the turbulent ride along with the gripping mixture of suspense and mystery. In a nutshell, this book needs a sequel!...I would recommend this mystery to everyone seeking to embark on a thrilling race, not only against time but against all odds., Lonely, divorced Allie Harper comes to the rescue of a handsome blind man caught in the crosswalk after he's startled by the honking of a Hummer on a Cleveland street. She drags Thomas Bennington III home, makes dinner, and is enjoying his company when he learns he's won over $500 million on a lottery ticket. Yet a downcast Tom had bought the ticket to prove to a young boy that gambling doesn't pay off. Unfortunately, too many people know he won and think they deserve a share of the money. The couple get to know each other quite well as they go on the run and do everything they can to stay alive, while the people around them end up dead. VERDICT In this entertaining, sexy debut, Allie is a sharp Stephanie Plum paired up with a hot partner. She quickly learns how adept a blind man can be in dealing with trouble.

(starred review), Fast pacing, multiple plot twists, and humor, including a Stephanie Plum-like main character, enliven the story and keep the pages turning., The story has enough twists and turns that even if you guess some, you won't get them all. The characters and settings are well drawn and strong enough to support a series., As the plot zigs and zags, readers will enjoy hanging out with Tom and Allie, whose quirkiness will remind some readers of Janey Mack's Maisie McGrane.

Synopsis
Lonely and broke, Cleveland divorce-survivor Allie Harper believes all her problems would be solved if she could find a nice, smart, hot guy and enough money to get her car fixed.The hot guy arrives first: he's in a crosswalk clutching a bag of groceries while a blonde in a Hummer is learning hard on her horn, sending the man's groceries and w, Lonely and broke, Cleveland divorce-survivor Allie Harper believes all her problems would be solved if she could find a nice, smart, hot guy and enough money to get her car fixed. The hot guy arrives first- he's in a crosswalk clutching a bag of groceries while a blonde in a Hummer is leaning hard on her horn, sending the man's groceries and white cane flying. How has this woman missed the fact that the man is blind? From the curb, an outraged Allie jumps to his rescue, rebagging the groceries as well. The money is in the bag. Literally-Thomas Bennington III, for that's who the handsome guy proves to be, has bought a MondoMegaJackpot ticket along with canned tomatoes. Allie takes him home and turns his groceries into dinner for two. Later that night, Tom hears the numbers announced. He's won. And he's less than thrilled. PhD Tom had gambled on the odds of losing (175 million to one) to prove a point to Rune, a kid from the projects he's befriended, that only losers buy lottery tickets. Instead, Rune, who'd helped pick the Mondo numbers, will share Tom's jackpot. Allie and Tom grasp two things- one, they're hot for each other, and two, the ticket is a hot target, and now so are they. Every scheming weasel in Cleveland will be after Tom's millions. $550 of them. Yes, once the Mondo ball drops, it's game on with killers and kidnappers as players. Allie and Tom need to get smarter about the threats all around them. On the run from one fancy hotel refuge to another and from one danger moment to the next, with only Allie's feisty landlady, Margo, and a couple of Cleveland cops for back-up, Allie and Tom evolve a strategy. First, turn in the ticket and claim the jackpot. Second, set up accounts to manage the millions. Third, stay alive to the end of the week...if they can. Too Lucky to Live debuts a talented writer in Annie Hogsett and a couple in Allie and Tom, a modern Nick and Nora Charles, who can power a compelling, amusing series with an excellent future., "In this entertaining, sexy debut, Allie is a sharp Stephanie Plum paired up with a hot partner...
