about book: (summary from Goodreads)

Two entrepreneurs compete for a property, but secure the biggest win of all—each other—in this second chance romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Sharon C. Cooper. 

Spoiled, fickle, and flighty are only a few adjectives that have been used to describe Morgan Redford. She’s never had to worry about money, but she’s determined to build a career on her own and do something meaningful with her life—by helping children who are aging out of the foster care system. She has her eyes on a property that a family friend is selling, which is perfect for these young adults to live in, but her competition is someone she never expected…

When Los Angeles real estate developer Drake Faulkner learns that his eccentric mentor is selling property that is perfect for his portfolio, he jumps at the chance to buy it. But he soon learns the billionaire has other ideas: buyers must compete in an Iron Man competition of sorts for the property. Drake refuses to play along with this ridiculous demand…until he finds out Morgan, his ex who left him years ago without a word, is one of the potential buyers. No way is he letting her—Little Miss Self-Absorbed—win the property he wants. Bitter? Yes. Petty? Probably. But as the gauntlet of games heats up and forces them to face the past, they are met with a pull that feels all too familiar.

Now, if they could only keep their eyes on the prize and off each other—but who’s to say they can’t do both?

my thoughts:

What a fun and hilarious second chance romance! I loved Sharon C. Cooper's novel, In It to Win It. Such a treat to read!

First off, I love that title - talk about hooking her reader right from the start. Secondly, the book's cover - how cute is that? I just loved it! Third, the story is about a second chance romance - who can resist that type of romance novel? I know that I can't. Plus, there is an Iron Man competition in the story that adds another layer of humor and romance that is just irresistible.  Fourth, the writing is top notch. And lastly, but not least - the characters - unforgettable, flawed, and so much fun to get to know! I really enjoyed In It to Win It. 

Morgan and Drake are exes. They are both trying to obtain a hot property and find out that in order to 'win it' they must compete in an Iron Man competition. Say what? Yep, the billionaire owner decides that the new owner must work hard to 'win' the property. Suffice it to say, Morgan and Drake are not happy about this competition. In fact, they are not happy to see each other. Morgan ghosted Drake and he has never gotten over it. She wants to apologize and explain to Drake why she disappeared. However, feelings are still too raw. So, the two form a friendship of sorts as they figure out how to win the competition. Of course, the more they see one another, the more their romantic feelings start to burn. Talk about a second chance at love!

I would most definitely recommend Cooper's novel, In It to Win It to anyone looking for their next great romance read - you will fall in deep with this one. Make sure to check it out!
