castironKate Clayborn, Chance of a Lifetime series: Beginner's Luck, Luck of the Draw, and Best of Luck. A het romance series about three friends who win the lottery and use the money to make changes in their lives, finding romantic partners in the process. The characters often have heavy stuff in their backgrounds that affect their growing relationships, but I find the stories surprisingly un-angsty despite that; there's dark moments, but the overall tone is cheerful and hopeful. (Even Luck of the Draw, which really does have a conflict between the heroine and hero that I'm not sure I believe they've overcome if I think about it too hard, but they're so interesting together that I don't care. YMMV.)
I picked these up because I really enjoyed Clayborn's Love Lettering. This series works a bit better for me because they have the POVs of both of the couple; I can see why Clayborn did Love Lettering in only the heroine's POV, but it took a reread for me to really buy that Reid was into Meg. In the Chance of a Lifetime books, there's no doubt, and indeed I'm not sure some of them would've worked without both POVs.
