Sooooooo this book wasn't it. I truly tried reading this book multiple times. But I just couldn't get into it at all. The story was just meh in my opinion. I have read the same plot many times.

This was a fun second-chance romance. Jackson and Beatrice met five years ago in Vegas, and now she's his neighbor. Their opportunity for a second chance looks great until they realize their families are business rivals and would never accept their relationship. The romance then becomes a will they, won't they. It was entertaining, intriguing and enjoyable to read.

I really enjoyed the start and it seemed really promising, but it's star fell really fast for me. Beatrice and her business felt really interesting but the relationship with Jackson just wasn't working

Super cute love story. The two characters meet over the course of a few days. Fans of second chance Love will enjoy Beatrice and Jackson.

This was my first, but surely not my last Tiff Marcelo Book. Five years ago, Beatrice and Jackson had a fling in Vegas, with the hopes of seeing if there can be more, but it ends up not coming to fruition. Years later, they unexpectedly become neighbors and continue what they started in Vegas. Unbeknownst to them in the beginning, they work for rival companies that are in the middle of a fight for a local area that they each want to develop. At the beginning, they think they can keep their budding romance a secret and

As I was reading, the story gives off West Side story vibes, and I am totally here for that. I enjoyed the book with the surprises, the characters, as well as Beatrice finally standing up on her own and making her voice heard. This is an author that will be an autobuy/read for me. Great job with the story.

Lucky Streak was cute and sweet about two characters that are likeable enough but kind of forgettable. I did not read the other books in the series and I think I would have enjoyed this one more if I did. The family drama was confusing and I didnt love the dynamics, but I assume the other stories would have helped with that. For me, this one was just ok.

Tif Marcelo does it again, this time with Bea and Jackson.
I enjoyed seeing familiar characters again in what seems to be book 3 of the Puso/Heart series. I love following Bea and Jackson’s stories with the glimpses to the past. Even though I anticipated a HEA, the mysteries of their past kept me guessing.

Love and family feuds, nothing ever runs smooth when the two mix. An enjoyable story of second chance romance and family pressures.

I received an advanced reading copy of Lucky Streak, receipt of which does not impact my review.

“I wish it were easier between us,” she ventured, feeling brave because he wasn’t looking right at her. “Same.” His voice was a whisper. “Because I think . . . I think it could be forever.”

I adore this series from Tif Marcelo! Lucky Streak has cemented her as an auto-buy author for me. This second chance romance between Beatrice Puso and her Vegas almost-fling from five years ago, Jackson Hill, was just so genuine and heartfelt, though it pulsed with some stress and drama throughout. As a bonus, Beatrice and Jackson are slightly older than your usual romance novel hero & heroine (he’s 40), which is always a win in my mind.

Both characters are working on ‘what’s next’ for them professionally and personally, and dealing with family pressure and expectations. The only thing that might make sense is each other - but since they are working for opposing resorts, they have to wonder if they are doomed from the start. I thought the conflicts were realistic and their chemistry was leaping off the page. I only hope there’s another book in this series!

Family feuds, fate, romance and passion… what’s not to love?!

I enjoyed the characters in this book and the way they intertwined with each other. Lots of chemistry and attraction. The story has a good pace, making it a good page turner.

If you’re looking for a good time - read this book!

I was cheering for Beatrice and Jackson from that meet cute moment in Vegas turned into a night they would never forget. When an error occurs the next morning, they never see or speak again…until 5 years later, they cross paths in a small town and end up neighbors. Drama unravels when they find out their families are working against each other. I appreciated the character depth (the family dynamics, duel POV, and interracial couple romance) that Tif Marcelo created, made me fall for that couple even more. I look forward to more books in the Heart Resort series.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Five year ago Beatrice and Jackson meet in Vegas and they spent the night together. Both of them has not really forget that night and then 5 years later, he discover she is his neighbor. He is back in the same as Beatrice as he is working got his father to buy property for their own. Unknown to him, Beatrice’s family and his father are rival and soon, he found out that her brothers are also bidding to buy the same property.

A second chance romance filled with family drama and its complexity and the interracial relationship. Loved seeing Beatrice and Jackson working on their relationship and remain true to themselves despite their family rivalry. Overall it is a fun read to me.

I’m not usually a fan of Romeo and Juliet, especially not as romance (it’s a tragedy!) but Marcelo makes it work in this novel. Beatrice and Jackson actually communicate with each other and are the right amount of smitten, which keeps the story moving. I really enjoyed this return to the Heart Resort world.

I loved this book, such a great love story between Jackson and Beatrice. They meet in Las Vegas, have one night together, and then part ways for five years. Beatrice eventually moves right next door to Jackson and their relationship resumes. However, their families are business rivals which makes their relationship even more difficult. There is a lot of drama surrounding their families and businesses. I did like the family relationships in the book and how well-developed all the characters were. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced reader copy.

I enjoyed this second chance, dual POV, interracial forbidden romance between Jackson, an ex-army officer and Beatrice, a young Filipino woman trying to branch out on her own and break away from her family's business. These two have a hot one night stand in Vegas and don't meet again until five years later only to discover their families are competing over the same commercial property. A relationship between the two seems impossible but they can't resist their growing chemistry. Good on audio with lots of steamy open door scenes. Recommended for fans of authors like Julie Tieu or Sarah Echavarre Smith. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review!
