“I devoured Luck and Last Resorts in two sittings, and was instantly transported from a cold, grey London to the tropical warmth and blue skies of Florida aboard the Serendipity super yacht.

I defy anyone not to fall in love with Nina and Ollie; this is the vacation read you NEED to pack.”—Freya Sampson, author of The Last Chance Library
“You need to pay careful attention when you read Luck and Last Resorts. On the surface it’s a tangle of second-chance and friends-to-lovers between two beautiful people set on a yacht. Beneath this, however, lies an aching and poignant examination of the choices we make – or refuse to make – as we enter our thirties and decide what parts of ourselves we will carry on into the next stage in life. Grunder Ruiz has honed her writing and it is so smart you almost miss the skill. This is a deeply satisfying romance at the same time it’s a compelling novel about the reality of “starting over” and the tenacity of love in the face of a person’s obvious flaws. People may not be perfect, but this is a perfect romance.”—Elizabeth Everett, author of The Perfect Equation

Its hero and heroine are complicated and emotionally messy and so carefully drawn that you finish the book feeling as though you’ve just spent several hours in the company of real people whose lives and personal histories are as complex as your own. Both funny and deeply emotional, this is a lovely, utterly memorable romance.”—Martha Waters, author of To Marry and to Meddle
