Guys...guys....really? Okay, so independent of everything else, I thought Aubrey and Noah were adorable the whole time. But like...how did she spend four years with Sean who is the worst? And how did she think Noah was a "player" for four years even though he never had a date? And why did the brothers think prostituting themselves for money was a good idea?
And WHY did they think it would be totally cool to perform sexual acts with someone they basically considered a sister?!?!?!?!!? That's the craziest bit to me!! I was like...Okay, so she's going to somehow win the lottery, and they will all show up. But then they will leave and just let Noah have her. It's weird that they were ever all planning on doing anything together? I don't really think brothers would be into that??? Guess I could be wrong. But I was really weirded out by the fact that they all had some sort of sex with her and were totally fine by that.
It kind of made the whole ending just not even matter for me. The #YesToHer thing seemed a little shoehorned in. Also, people would totally still be looking for the guys.
Finally, this is kind of a Cinderella Story moment because how in the WORLD did she not recognize her BEST FRIEND just because of a mask? Also, the three brothers? I guess maybe she was a little overwhelmed when they came over, but I still don't believe they would be that unrecognizable in their picture to someone who spends so much time together.
Books don't have to always be realistic or super believable, but this one annoyed me more than usual!!

58.0% "...just starting to throw up in my mouth with the foursome sex scene. oh, so not what I was expecting, especially as one brother told Audrey she was like a sister. Skimming to how Noah redeems himself and how future family dinners playout. Ugh.
68.0% "Audrey 'Maybe the lottery prize night wasn’t the betrayal I thought it was' or give yourself a shake you stupid girl."
DNF 76% and I no longer care to read more. So not the story for me and I have read many 'oh this is so wrong, give me more' stories. This story had the makings of a good love story but the author twisted it into something weird and fucked up. If the flow hadn't started to bore me I would feel a bit guilty rating a book just not to my taste. No guilt, 1 star.
Cheers

Winner!!
What’s better that 1 hot sexy Irish guy?
Well 4 of them of course!!
I had so much fun reading this devilishly dirty sexy read!
This author knows just how to amp up her romances with perfectly imperfect heroes, well written stories that are all kinds of hot, kinky and with a lot of heart!
She loves her Irish men and quite frankly I have fallen in love with them too!
This read is just the kind of read to sit back relax and enjoy!
The story flowed well and as a bad situation turns into a funny sexy and charming story, I just got totally engrossed from beginning to end!

Cute story
The characters and storyline were sweet. Was the ice outlandish? Absolutely, but it still had my attention as I watched these characters get their happily ever after via a lottery and in more ways than one.

I can't get over that she had sex with all four brothers, even if she didn't know it was them at first and even if there was no p + v for three of them.

I’d like to thank Terrie and Sienna for sending me an e-arc of this book it is very much appreciated. I love Sienna Blake’s writing and so I had high expectations for this book. This is the 3rd book in the Irish Kiss series and it was fantastic. So this is the third book in the series it started with Irish Kiss, and then Professor’s Kiss, So I had very high expectations and they were met.
Aubrey I loved her character almost immediately, she got me a little annoyed when it came to her relationship with Sean and the fact she just let some of the shitty things slide. I felt she was very go with the flow kind of girl and just accepted most things that were thrown at her. I liked that she was a bartender and didn’t think it was below her like a certain ex boyfriend did.
Noah. He was adorable. I loved the relationship he had with his brothers and his ma. It was so cute and adorable you could see how much his family means to him especially the relationship he had with his ma. I also loved the friendship he had with Aubrey and how they used to spend their night and do lotto tickets together. There’s so much cute bonding between them.
I loved the fact that everyone knew how Noah and Aubrey felt about each other but those two. I love stories where the main characters are blind to each other’s feelings because you get so much angst and then a great reveal between them and this book did not let me down for this.
I loved how supportive Noah was of Aubrey and that they were both just always there for each other. I loved their relationship.
I loved that we get an appearance from Danny in this book and I loved what he did in this book for Aubrey and Noah I don’t want to say to much but it was amazing with what the author did in terms of the #YesToHer and I think it was brilliant. (When you read the story it’ll make more sense.) It was just so inspirational and I really love how the story played out. So that was really beautiful and I did not expect it.
So I loved the plot of this book it was so well done. The sex in the book was really written well as was the actual lottery scene in this book. It flowed perfectly within the setting of the book and where it appeared in the timeline of the novel. The characters were amazing I loved Aubrey, Noah, Ma, Darren, Eoin and Michael also Candice was a golden egg in this story, when you think she isn’t going to be important and then she just shoots up and is important. I loved that. I really enjoyed this book.

I was kind of hesitant to read this at first. I've been avoiding dark and erotica recently and the blurb got me all mixed up. Plus, Sienna Blake is a first for me. But then someone I would trust to suggest a good book, that's you [Terrie https://justanotherbookbitch.com/], assured me that this isn't dark. So I decided to take the plunge. And it was well worth it.
I was a little nervous in meeting the deadline though. You see, I only have 7 days to read a full length novel. I've been slacking with reading lately making me read as slow as 10 days for just one book. But then, all those fretting seems to be moot. I ended up with two hours of sleep, cramming with my report and nodding off at work. But, hey, no regrets. I kind of get into that one more chapter rush. I loved how the story went. It was something different. The plot was really catchy. That kind where you can't just have a bite. It's the kind that you need to devour whole. It was funny, it was heartbreaking, and a wake up call. I liked that it somehow deal with a social issue that I really believe in too. It was reality, fantasy and everything in between.
The characters aren't hard to love. They we're adorable in their own ways. And everyone gets to play a very essential part of how the story unfolds. I love the brotherhood. The way they bicker and argue but at the end of the day, they know they still have each other's back. Although Aubrey is one of those heroines I hate that all logic was sent flying out the window when the guy gets near, for some reason, I don't hate her as much. She has her own voice, her own stand and is willing to sacrifice her own happiness for the betterment of many. At least that's what she thinks. And don't get me started with Noah! Oh my! He is definitely going into the book boyfriend list. The way he loves. The fierceness of his passion. The way he would give everything for the first woman he loves and will forever love.
You may have guessed it by now. But if you still need me to spell it out for you, I'm giving this a 5 stars. Definitely wonderful read.

This was a super fun, yet delightfully delicious, read that I will most definitely go back and read again!
The Irish Lottery literally had me laughing out loud at almost every turn of the page...except when I was close to tears. Emotional rollercoaster!
Aubrey was my kind of girl. Laid back, funny, sarcastic. I could really relate to her character from beginning to end.
Watching Noah and Rey circle each other was pretty magnificent. Their chemistry was off the charts from the get go and I loved watching the two of them develop. They have so many road blocks, there was actually a moment I thought they would part ways, never to be friends again. Have faith in Sienna Blake. She never lets you down!
All four of the O'Sullivan brothers were pretty awesome, each bringing a uniqueness to this story that makes the reader just fall in love. I really hope this is not the end of the O'Sullivan boys because I would love to see where they end up.
This story has everything a romance reader wants and is delivered in classic Sienna Blake fashion. She has a reputation for writing the intriguing, romantic Irish man that makes women want to rush to Ireland to find their HEA.
If you are a long time Sienna Blake fan you get the pleasure of seeing a favorite drop in for a cameo!
From the moment I finished my first Sienna Blake book, I was hooked. Every book since then has been on my TBR and I have been known to put one book down just to read her new release. Not once have I ever been disappointed.
Easiest 5 stars I have given in a long time, and all well deserved!

Falling for a new to me authors writing is the best thing EVER! This was my first read from this author and I will be going in search of more from her! I love a good friends to lovers book but this was so much more!
Aubrey is this American who is living in Ireland and engaged to someone who I very very much dislike. Their relationship seemed content, nothing exciting or even mouthwatering sexy and it made me sad for her. Her best friend on the other hand seemed like he was not only drop dead gorgeous but the best friend you could ask anything of and he would give it without question. The banter with him and even his brothers is something you try throughout your life to find and some never find it. But with love also comes pain and it broke my heart to see so much pain in Noah’s eyes. Pain for more than just unrequited love and I just had to know what was going to happen.
I read and read and kept reading... When I got to a certain point in the book I thought the book was over and was devastated but a quick check of my progress assured me that more was to come. In this book you get romance, suspense of an unknown, pain from something that could be devastating, laughter and I was even in awe at moments. I whole heartedly believe everyone in our community of readers should read this, no way should we be ashamed of anything. Such a great book and an incredible message! #YestoHer

This was my first Sienna Blake novel and I was not disappointed! I was surprised to find she also lives here in Dublin, though! So cool <3
I wish my Irish story was as exciting as this! Alas, I have a pretty cute, yet bland story of my own. That being said, The Irish Lottery is so cute and worth the read! I really connected with the main character, Aubrey, and loved her connection with Noah. He's just the best Irish character I think I've ever read -swoon-. I would be happy to just read about his daily life.
The plot of TIL was interesting and original, while also being completely unexpected. I couldn't put it down for the most part. There were a few places I got a tad bored, but that's probably only because the rest of the story was so good! The secondary characters were also very multi-faceted and I really enjoyed reading about the side relationships, as much as the main ones. I hope there are going to be other stories about the rest of the Gallagher clan! Will have to wait and see!

The Irish Lottery was flipping fantastic!!! Heck, any girl would've entered that lottery without hesitation! Two people that loved one another fiercely but always remained friends. You never know unless you take that leap. And the Irish Lottery was a massive push ! Such a beautiful story about family, friendship and love.

I loved this book!! A heartbreaking story line, with a fun way to solve it. At one stage I thought that that scene may never happen, but I am glad it happened in the way it did. A friends to lovers story like no other. I can’t wait for the rest of the books in this series!!!

I don’t even know what to say haha 😂😂!!
Cringey but readable lol. Actually written pretty well, it just wasn’t for me.
I am still laughing 😂.

I don’t like to yuck somebody’s yum, but yuck. I liked the characters and even the story, but that sex scene had me literally making a grossed out face.
April 3, 2020
"Call me simple, but I just wanted to run my bar and spend time with the people I loved. I found my gaze slipping over to where Aubrey was serving customers. She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ears and laughed at something Candace said.
My stomach flipped. It didn’t matter how many times I looked at her, she still caused that reaction in me. It would all change soon though. Soon she’d be married to another man. She’d get a job working somewhere else. She’d move on with her life. Aubrey was smart and clever and could do so much more with herself than work a bar.
The truth was, the life I offered was too simple for her. It wasn’t good enough. Maybe that’s why I never made a move on her.
I knew that one day she’d outgrow this place.
And me.
Until she did, I’d hang on for dear life. Even if I only ever got to be just her friend."
Possibly my favourite of Sienna Blakes stories so far.
This story brings together a desperate man, Noah, who's trying to help his ma get the treatment she needs and his determined engaged best friend who wants to help anyway she can.
When desperate times call for desperate measures, Noah has to get creative. When his ma could die if she doesn't get the very expensive, totally out of reach financially, medical care she needs he's got to come up with a plan. He and his 3 brothers.
So when they decide to create a secret online lottery where the winner can win one night of pleasure with the four masked brothers, things start getting interesting.
It gets even more interesting when the person to win is Noahs best friend. The girl he's been in love with for years. But... Here's the catch... She's supposed to be engaged to someone else.
When the four brothers deliver the lottery winnings, a night to never forget, the truth comes out and Noah us exposed to the girl he's wanted to be with for years. A girl who's suddenly single and just wants a damn orgasm. Betrayed by her beat friend, Aubrey has to make a choice between the man she's loved for years or an uncertain but safe future.
The drama doesn't end there.
I love that this story takes the wider issues of female sexuality in society and makes a stand for women embracing their own lives and experiences. I love that Noah is the one who leads this too, strong women working together with strong men to show how feminism in practice.
I thought the story was unique, clever and playful. The four brothers sounded like both a lot of fun to be friends with and also the kind of guys who'd give any girl a night they'd never forget. Well worth a read.

I'm bummed that I didn't know this was Book #4 of the Irish Kiss series, it wasn't made clear on Amazon. I didn't really feel like I missed anything, I just like to read series' in order.
I have some mixed feelings about this book, ultimately, even though some aspects of the story were not to my taste, I enjoyed the story as a whole and the author's writing style.
Friends-to-lovers is a favourite trope for me so I adored Aubrey and Noah's relationship from the get-go. I loved their comradery, how they fit together so effortlessly and were always there for one another. I was a little dismayed when I started reading and found out that Aubrey had a fiancé since I am not a fan of cheating (if you are of a similar mind, have no fear). I'm really delighted with how the whole subject of Sean was handled. All too often author's lazily get rid of unwanted partners by either turning them into cheaters and/or assholes.
As the relationship developed I was wondering how the whole lottery win would work and was a little surprised at how it played out. I expected the taboo topic of having all the brothers sexually involved with Aubrey would be avoided by having her pick to be with just the blue-eyed Irishman (Noah) who caught her eye (because she should have totally recognized him) BUT I have to say I really enjoyed how it was done and how it played out. I can see how some might find it problematic, especially since the author chose to articulate her relationship with Noah's brother and his mom as familial in nature, but, they are not, in fact, related.
I thought the fallout/aftermath was a little overdramatic with the whole #YesToHer series of events and wish the author had chosen to let them just be together with little conflict after they finally got together since it made the ending feel a little drawn out and unnecessary but ultimately I still enjoyed the story, writing, and characters. I would recommend the book with that caution that it might not be to everyone's taste and I look forward to reading more books in the series.

I can see how some might find it problematic, especially since the author chose to articulate her relationship with Noah's brother and his mom as familial in nature, but, they are not, in fact, related.
I thought the fallout/aftermath was a little overdramatic with the whole #YesToHer series of events and wish the author had chosen to let them just be together with little conflict after they finally got together since it made the ending feel a little drawn out and unnecessary but ultimately I still enjoyed the story, writing, and characters. I would recommend the book with that caution that it might not be to everyone's taste and I look forward to reading more books in the series.

Loved it
The O'sullivans mom needs heart surgery, and the 4 brothers are trying to come up with a way to pay for it. But the bank will not give them a loan, even with putting Noah's bar and Danny's gararge up for collateral. They come up with the idea of the irish lottery.
Aubrey is Noah's best friend and works at the jar, Noah's collage campus bar, he loves her, but she is engaged to another man, she is also the winner of the lottery. Aubrey has lived in Ireland for 4 years and her visiting visa is ending and she needs to get a work visa, but no one is hiring her and her fiance Sean is pulling back, the 2 break up and Aubrey realizes that she never did love him. Because the identity of the 4 men in the lottery Noah says nothing to Aubrey about it even though he wants to, especially when he discoveres that she signed up, and she does not tell him if her break up as she feels he is burdened enough with his mothers illness...can they get past the lies, the hurt, and find their oath to HEA?
You will not be disappointed with this book. The characters are relatable and although this is a stand alone, yiu will meet some characters from previous books in this series. I highly recommend this read.

CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE
Omfg the absolute cringe. I can't even. And that ending? Absolutely mortifying.
I don't understand how that was supposed to be uplifting at all. It was so fucking bad.
She should have left Noah immediately and went to the states and had more drama with that. There should have been so much more build up. Any interesting scenes were passed over like Noah getting in a bar fight and arrested. Why did we fade to black that?
It was fast paced and lacking details. And honestly felt like the two dumbest characters ever.
Also how you let your brothers make your wife cum like a champ and just pretend it didn't happen after? They all talked over and over about how she was, I thought we were leading into something.
Also she talks of wanting kink? This was pretty fucking vanilla. I would have hated to see a sex scene with her and Sean. Probably just fucking lays there checking his emails!
Having said that, if a quick burn cringey rom com with friends to lovers is your thing than it's a good book for you.
I was just led into believing it was going to be something else.

Powerful & Sweet
Noah has been in love with his best friend since he met her. Aubrey loves Noah but doesn’t want to risk their friendship over giving into her emotions. She is engaged to Sean but it never felt right and she risks her comfort zone by entering the Irish Lottery where you can win a night with 4 hot Irishmen! She enters buts never believes she could win. What is even more surprising is who is behind the lottery and that plays a huge factor in the book. These two best friends becoming one with each other is sweet and hot! You will not be disappointed. It’s also so fun seeing other characters from her other Irish Kiss books. I love when character interact from other books together. It’s bring a real sense of family and community to this series. Darren ( Noah’s Brother) book is next. I can’t wait to see if he finds his true love. Happy Reading!

Jackpot!!
The Irish Lottery is one of the hottest, most intense things I've ever read. The brothers treated the winner with such care and love...it was more than just sexy...it was downright beautiful. The fact that people tried to make her feel ugly for it is just unacceptable and inexcusable. I read Player's Kiss before this and I love Eoin, but Noah might have surpassed him and I'm not even really into blondes. Aubrey is wonderful, even if she was blind and in denial through the majority of the book. Who wouldn't doubt themselves around Noah? Those two are definitely a perfect match.

I loved this book so much. To find a love that takes your breath away and I feel like that’s what Noah found in Rey. He wanted her to be happy even if it meant that she wasn’t going to be with him. He worshipped her and gave her the ultimate pleasure that she has been looking for and didn’t make her feel any less for wanting that sensuality and expressing her sexuality. He found a way to make it so she would stay in the country and helped her realize that others wanted her to be able to explore her sexuality and wanted other women to be able to own the same and not be labeled unfairly by today’s double standards. I really could feel the amount of love that Noah and Rey had for each other.

Ok. This book made me really uncomfortable. Not just the sex scenes but the writing itself and the situations written in. I don't usually have issues with these types of books, but it seemed to me that the author was uncomfortable writing it. I'm all for spicy scenes with multiple men, but the whole Noah is in love with Audrey, but all my brothers are going to do sexual things to her is ok. That's just weird. And then Audrey with Sean was annoying as fuck! How the hell did she stay with that bland himbo for years?!?! I don't know. This whole book made me cringe and thats not easy to do. I really loved the first 3 books by this author, but this one wasn't it at all.

This is my first time reading a book by this author and I am definitely reading the rest of the series as I loved it. It isn't a typical reverse harem as there is only one scene that classifies as that and no romantic relationship except for with Noah. I adored Noah and he is the perfect book boyfriend in each and every way! I loved the happy ending, Noah wasn't going to let Aubrey slip through his fingers a second time although it was a close one! I can't wait to read the remaining three brothers stories!

Rey and Noah
Talk about luck of the Irish! Hoping to find a way to pay for their ma’s heart surgery, the O’Sullivan brothers come up with a whirlwind of a fund raiser. A man lottery! Each wearing a mask so no one knows it’s them and to top it off, Aubrey, the girl Noah has been in love with for years comes up as the winner!! This was a great story! Loved it from beginning to end. Could have strangled both of the main characters! Just because they were so oblivious 😆😆

The Irish Lottery
Okay, so I have to be honest. I’m a huge fan of Sienna Blake’s work. I love a whole lot of her books. However, this one was just not my cup of tea. I wasn’t crazy about the main characters and I felt like it was a really unrealistic storyline. It was just a bit too far fetched.
However, just because it wasn’t the right book for me doesn’t mean someone else won’t enjoy this book. So, I’m going to give this a 3.9

Great story great characters. Only thing I wasn't certain about was his brothers all getting to give her an orgasim that to me was a tad strange. Plus call me old fashioned but i enjoy a romance between two ppl I'm not sure about the whole sharing thing. I feel if noah really loved her he wouldn't share especially with his brothers and I found it odd that no one found it awkward. So if you skip the bit about the brothers i liked the story.

These Irish Kiss books keep getting better and better and better! I loved this book so much! While I love Noah and Aubrey together, I also LOVED his three brothers, and even fell a little harder for Danny. I loved the message at the end, empowering women. I also liked the crossover mention of the Irish Kings, which I went back to reread since it mentions Declan and Danny. Sienna Blake is quickly becoming one of my favorite Authors and I can't wait to read what's next!

A lottery like no other
I freaking love Noah and his family, especially mom. Aubrey was ok. She just isn’t a strong character. One thing I really would have liked would be more than just her POV when the lottery winnings were “delivered”. All of that being said, I just one-clicked for the entire rest of the series.
