From there, it\u2019s a fast-paced, slightly outrageous race through Vegas as Eleanor and Adam try to retrace their steps, undo their accidental marriage, and secure the deal that could make or break their careers.I flew through this one\u2014literally. I read it on a flight and barely put it down, which says a lot about how quickly the plot moves and how engaging the story is. The pacing keeps things lively without feeling rushed, and there\u2019s always something happening to keep you hooked.What really worked for me were the characters. Eleanor and Adam are both sharp, competitive, and easy to root for. Even though the situations they find themselves in are definitely over-the-top, their reactions feel grounded and believable. Their dynamic strikes that perfect rom-com balance of tension, banter, and growing connection, and I found myself fully invested in their story.Overall, this is a quick, easy read with a fun premise, lovable characters, and just a touch of spice. If you enjoy rivals-to-lovers stories with a chaotic Vegas twist, this one is definitely worth picking up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Thank you to NetGalley &amp; Atria Books for this entertaining eARC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<\/p><p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/winner-takes-all-by-emily-martin\/\">Winner Takes All by Emily Martin<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winner Takes All by Emily Martin on June 23, 2026 Genres: Fiction \/ Romance \/ Contemporary, Fiction \/ Romance \/ Romantic Comedy, Fiction \/ Romance \/ Workplace Pages: 288 Format: ARC Buy on Amazon Goodreads If you\u2019re looking for a rom-com that feels like a mashup of chaos, chemistry, and just the right amount of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":5960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5959"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
