REVIEW: In It to Win It by Sharon C. Cooper

In It to Win It is the first book that I have read by Sharon C. Cooper and I can tell you that it had me smiling and laughing throughout the book. This it the story of two people with history, chemistry and a competitive spirit that will not them lose.

Morgan and Drake are competing for the same real estate property. Morgan runs a center for young adults who have aged out of foster care. She wants the building to house and support more individuals. Drake is a real estate developer who wants to purchase the same property because it has certain sentimental value. Neither realize at first that they are competing against each other for the same property. But once they do, the history that they share comes spilling right out.

There were some twists and turns along the way that made me stop and think WHAT! I loved the characters. They were funny and relatable. I would recommend this book to anyone that is looking for a second chance love story.

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?
