The Irish Lottery: A Friends to Lovers Contemporary Romance (Irish Kiss: O'Sullivan Brothers Book 1)

I can't give this one 5 stars. For me, there's an ick factor with this story. So here come the spoilers.Noah loves Aubrey, his best friend and employee, but she's engaged to someone else. Noah's mother needs a heart operation the family can't afford. Instead of taking out a second mortgage or posing for a calendar, Noah and his brothers decide to hold an online sex lottery. [They're all hot, you see. You can tell by their green masks.]Aubrey breaks up with her doofus fiancé. Instead of telling her best friend what's happened, though, she wallows alone at home. When you're lonely and a little drunk, you don't make good decisions; to wit, she enters the sex lottery.So far, so good.Then Aubrey wins the sex lottery. The four masked brothers, Noah and the Pips, come to her apartment, and each gives her an orgasm; Noah gives her several. And then she recognizes Noah's voice.Troubled waters ahead.My problem with this story: The Pips. All of the brothers know Noah is besotted with Aubrey. How in the name of all that's holy do you pursue sexual relations with your future sister-in-law, WHILE YOUR BROTHER IS WATCHING?! Moreover, we find out later that one of the brothers rigged the contest, so that they would all be in this situation. Nobody cares about it very much, though, and everyone else has forgotten about being *with* Aubrey by the final scene.I think the author expects the reader to just forget that it was the Pips masturbating their sister-in-law and to think of them as four random strangers performing the action. I don't think that's realistic.I wish I could have forgotten it. The rest of the story was quite nice.

Noah has been in love with his best friend since he met her. Aubrey loves Noah but doesn’t want to risk their friendship over giving into her emotions. She is engaged to Sean but it never felt right and she risks her comfort zone by entering the Irish Lottery where you can win a night with 4 hot Irishmen! She enters buts never believes she could win. What is even more surprising is who is behind the lottery and that plays a huge factor in the book. These two best friends becoming one with each other is sweet and hot! You will not be disappointed. It’s also so fun seeing other characters from her other Irish Kiss books. I love when character interact from other books together. It’s bring a real sense of family and community to this series. Darren ( Noah’s Brother) book is next. I can’t wait to see if he finds his true love. Happy Reading!

This was a super fun, yet delightfully delicious, read that I will most definitely go back and read again!The Irish Lottery literally had me laughing out loud at almost every turn of the page...except when I was close to tears. Emotional rollercoaster!Aubrey was my kind of girl. Laid back, funny, sarcastic. I could really relate to her character from beginning to end.Watching Noah and Rey circle each other was pretty magnificent. Their chemistry was off the charts from the get go and I loved watching the two of them develop. They have so many road blocks, there was actually a moment I thought they would part ways, never to be friends again. Have faith in Sienna Blake. She never lets you down!All four of the O'Sullivan brothers were pretty awesome, each bringing a uniqueness to this story that makes the reader just fall in love. I really hope this is not the end of the O'Sullivan boys because I would love to see where they end up.This story has everything a romance reader wants and is delivered in classic Sienna Blake fashion. She has a reputation for writing the intriguing, romantic Irish man that makes women want to rush to Ireland to find their HEA.If you are a long time Sienna Blake fan you get the pleasure of seeing a favorite drop in for a cameo!From the moment I finished my first Sienna Blake book, I was hooked. Every book since then has been on my TBR and I have been known to put one book down just to read her new release. Not once have I ever been disappointed.Easiest 5 stars I have given in a long time, and all well deserved!

This book is not a one women multiple men story. Noah is in love with Aubrey. Noah and his three brothers set up a gigilo lottery online to raise money for the mothers sugery. Aubrey wins after entering when she breaks up with her fiancee, she has no idea who the men behind the masks are. 4 men, one woman's fantasy, but these "boys" as she calls them are like family to her, brothers even. And they ALL perform sexul acts on her! She realizes it is them when Noah slips up during the final big O, she is horrified but more for lies then the acts. The author never address the emotional fall out of basically being violated by family, she NEVER would have done it had she known. She eventually married him in the end and says it's not awkward because it's like never happened. B.S. it didn't happen that is PTSD level trama. What is she gonna say to her kids, cause of corse she's pregnant at the end too. "Mommy how did you daddy get together"? " Well honey it was while one of your uncles was eating me out, and your other two uncles were suckling on me and I rode them too. It was special FAMILY moment for us". It's really kinda disgusting when you think about it, her brother in laws, and the author really fails to cover the extent of this emotionally and phycolgically. What happens when the guys me women too? "Just so you know I fingered and had sex with my sister in law once, we like to keep in the family should my brothers ever mention it"? I was disappointed with how the author handled this situation and how quickly and easily Aubrey forgave Noah. That that wasn't the only tramatizing event he put her through. Being made the poster child for feminist organisms at the end to "fix" everything when the public attacks her was, in my opinion, also tramatic. And it was all Noah's fault.

Another great book by Sienna. This book is filled with cute moments and laughs. I love how the other books in the series intertwine in subtile ways where you get the love of the other characters all over again.

Great love story.. Noah & Aubrey are best friends... Noah is aware he's in love with Aubrey. Aubrey has a fiancé. Then Noah and his brothers decide to do a 'lottery' for a night with the 4 of them...There are lots of things that are questionable.. (spoilers ahead) - how could any man in love with a woman be ok with his 3 brothers intimately touching the woman he loves. And how do the family dynamics work going forwards?? 🤣 I've got no problem with Aubrey having a consensual sexual encounter with 4 guys.. just the fact they are brothers and she is going to end up with one of them.. and also.. wouldn't she have recognised the 4 of them together even with masks on. Especially her best friend and his blue eyes!!But I love the outpouring of support for Aubrey later on and the awareness of double standards in how society judges sexual behaviour differently in men and women!

The O'sullivans mom needs heart surgery, and the 4 brothers are trying to come up with a way to pay for it. But the bank will not give them a loan, even with putting Noah's bar and Danny's gararge up for collateral. They come up with the idea of the irish lottery.Aubrey is Noah's best friend and works at the jar, Noah's collage campus bar, he loves her, but she is engaged to another man, she is also the winner of the lottery. Aubrey has lived in Ireland for 4 years and her visiting visa is ending and she needs to get a work visa, but no one is hiring her and her fiance Sean is pulling back, the 2 break up and Aubrey realizes that she never did love him. Because the identity of the 4 men in the lottery Noah says nothing to Aubrey about it even though he wants to, especially when he discoveres that she signed up, and she does not tell him if her break up as she feels he is burdened enough with his mothers illness...can they get past the lies, the hurt, and find their oath to HEA?You will not be disappointed with this book. The characters are relatable and although this is a stand alone, yiu will meet some characters from previous books in this series. I highly recommend this read.

I waited with anticipation for this book and was not disappointed.Sienna Blake has done it again!! She not only draws you into the story but has you rooting for each and every one of the characters in different ways which keeps you turning the pages.You cannot put this book down and that is the sign of an incredibly insightful author.She is a master at gripping you and your emotions and dragging you through the stories.I know I’m going to read and re-read this book like I do all her books and find something new every single time.If you want to be taken away from the stress of your life and escape for a couple of hours you can do that quite easily by picking up The Irish Lottery because I guarantee you will not want to put it down.

Aubrey loves Ireland but her visa is running out. her fiancée broken up with her, which weirdly doesn't upset her.She has a great job an awesome best friend Noah and then things crumble. See Noah loves Aubrey hes just needed a push in the right direction.This is the first book that I have read by the author and I really enjoyed this book it has all the feels the drama and the awesome Irish touch.4 Out Of 5 Hearts From Cariad Books.
