Windfall
When Ruby Cade wins the lottery, the first person she calls is her husband, Sam. But the air force captain is on yet another top secret mission, even though he promised her he'd take himself out of the field. At the end of her patience, Ruby files for divorce and buys a farm with her winnings.
Then an injured Sam shows up on her doorstep, out of the military and asking for another chance. It's everything Ruby ever wanted…but has he come back to Ruby only because he was discharged? Or was her true windfall not money, after all, but her husband's love?

Windfall
This book was about one of several people who went into a lotto ticket and won millions. This story was about trust. He was in the military and deployed overseas. He had promised not to take on any dangerous missions. But when she called she was told he was out and wouldn't be back for a few days. Knowing what that meant she sent divorce papers to him and bought a farm. Now he is back and wants his wife back. This is their second chance.

Ugh.
I picked this up because the blurb showed promise and I typically enjoy stories about couples who are able to work through their issues and find their way (back) to a way to be happy together.
Unfortunately, I found Ruby's decision-making and reasoning throughout the story immature and suspect, and while Sam was determined and steadfast, neither was particularly good at communicating clearly what was on their hearts and minds. While they seemingly resolved their differences, I don't necessarily have confidence they won't run into or create new roadblocks in the future that will derail their fragile happiness. Ruby in particular puts too much stock into particular words while clearly being unable or unwilling to articulate what she needs/wants.
This was definitely a disappointing read, and alas, not a windfall for this reader.
