ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 11 2025
Roses are red, violets are blue—someone in Rose has feelings for you…
Yeah, bad ones. Everly Davis didn’t leave her tight-knit hometown on the best terms. It’s been ten years, but you don’t forget heartbreak like that. Then again, the anonymous invite to the annual Kiss Lottery in Rose, Tennessee, gives Everly content for her podcast. And she has a bone to pick with that old heartbreak anyway.
Beckett Whitfield has never left Rose—and he’s never forgotten Everly. He even named the villain in his latest bestseller after her. Turns out she’s not happy about that. Nothing about their reunion is particularly happy, and after the way they left things, what did he expect?
When the Kiss Lottery pairs them together, Everly and Beckett will have to confront old feelings that never went away and the secrets they never shared. But finally telling each other everything might be exactly what they’ve needed all along.

REVIEW:THE KISS LOTTERY by Ilsa Madden-Mills is an adult, contemporary, stand alone romance story line focusing on author Beckett Whitfield, and travel pod-caster Everly Davis
Told from dual first person perspectives ( Everly and Beckett) THE KISS LOTTERY focuses on the town of Rose, Tennessee’s annual Kiss Lottery . Everly Davis left Rose Tennessee ten years earlier; a high school betrayal broke not only heart but her soul, and in this, her return comes with emotional memories of the past, and another heart break from the man she once loved. An anonymous invitation to the Kiss Lottery finds Everly matched with our story line hero, a match that brings with it reconciliation but secrets from the past.
The world building focuses on the rekindling romance between Everly and Beckett, high school sweethearts torn apart by betrayal, secrets and lies. Their reconnection brings with it memories from the past, a rehashing of high school antics, loves and losses. Beckett has never stopped loving the woman he pushed out of his life but life and everything it had to offer was quickly spiralling out of control.
The relationship between Beckett and Everly is a second chance romance. Beckett is determined to reclaim everything he lost, and Everly is struggling to make sense of the past. The lone $ex scene is intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters. As with all small towns, there is the local gossip, mean girl, busy bodies, family and old friendships,
THE KISS LOTTERY is a story of secrets and lies, friendships and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The quick paced premise is endearing, entertaining and captivating; the romance is fated; the characters are fun, sassy and charismatic.
