'A swoonworthy romance that left me grinning for days' Angie Hockman
One small town, one big prize, one handsome stranger...
Nothing ever changes in Redford, Georgia. That's what freelance editor Jess Reid loves about her hometown-and part of what keeps her from leaving. Content taking care of her father, a car mechanic who singlehandedly raised her after her mom skipped out, Jess is resigned to a safe, unremarkable existence...until Jasper Wilhelm, the town's eccentric benefactor, dies suddenly and leaves behind the opportunity of a lifetime.
Financial advisor Carter Barclay has been too busy to visit his grandfather in Redford, but he's heard countless stories about the town and its zany residents from Jasper. A small, insular town in Georgia is the last place Carter expects to be spending his summer-but it seems his grandfather had one final trick up his sleeve.
At the funeral, it's revealed that Jasper has devised a massive, high-stakes game for the people of Redford, with the winning duo taking home his entire fortune. The catch? He's already taken the liberty of pairing them up. As tensions of all kinds rise between Jess and Carter, and the life-changing prize looms closer, the two must decide what they're willing to risk to change their lives. A love story full of spirit and hijinks, The Only Game in Town is a funny, quirky homage to the people we get to call home.
An unforgettable and heartfelt romantic comedy from the author of The Layover.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful story
I loved this book so much. Lacie has such a great gift on bringing to life a whole town in this story. It felt wholesome and uplifting and the sweet romance parts made it even better.
I liked the cast of characters, some really reliable ones and some unbelievable but so true to the real world. The interactions were hilarious at times and the game was on when I knew who would win the big prize in the end.
A beautiful story about what human beings means when it comes to a big community that is brought together not only for the win but for helping each other and acceptance. The love story is not missing and this book could easily be made into a hallmark movie.
