Description from the publisher:
Luck is no lady… in fact, she can be
a downright bitch.
JAKE:
Coming home was supposed to be my shot at redemption. Instead, I’m finding myself chasing after an irresistible blonde whose mercurial behavior could give Jekyll and Hyde a run for their money. I’ve got too much on my plate to get tied up in knots over a girl who wants nothing to do with me. But Bailey Murphy may hold the key to my redemption, and I’m not giving up on either without a fight. “Irish” might play with a poker face, but I’m about to call her bluff … and I hope like hell I’ve got luck on my side.
BAILEY:
Let’s get one thing straight. I am not your typical girl. Sure, I’ve got all the parts, but I’ve been a stubborn, irreverent tomboy since the womb. Which makes it particularly ironic that my heart is so damn girlie. It falls in love at the drop of a hat and leaves me to deal with the aftermath. But no more! If Jake Beckett thinks spending one night together gives him some claim on me, he’s got another thing coming—even if the mere thought of that night leaves me panting like a damn Labrador. I’m not about to open the door and let Jake in, but that choice may be taken from both our hands.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE LUCKY ONE is the third book in
the Carolina Connections series. Each is a stand-alone contemporary romance,
but there are relationships that make more sense if you read them in the order
of release.
First
things first, I love the nicknames for both the guys and the girls throughout
this series. I love when authors give
meaningful nicknames that have something to do with the story that we’ve been
given. I hope this trend continues.
I love
Jake. He has flipped his life to return to
the Carolinas and be closer to family.
He’s starting over in his business and rebuilding. He may not have planned to also start a
relationship, but once he meets his “Irish,” he doesn’t really hesitate to
claim her. He’s all in.
Bailey is
a tomboy. I can get it. It’s funny watching the tomboy having to deal
with the girly stuff that is thrust upon her – dang emotions! Still, I had a hard time connecting with
her. Her inner monologue reminded me too
much of the “inner goddess” crap that came from 50 Shades. Eventually, I had to fall in love with her
too. It just took me some time. That could just be me.
The humor
is amazing. Sylvie Stewart (the author)
is the friend you want around to lighten your day, every day. I’d never have a frowny day with her
around. Instead, I can just listen to
one of her books.
Narration: Meg Price did a
wonderful job of performing the South Carolina accent. It made me homesick that was only home for five
years.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted audiobook
copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
