Who wouldn’t want to get Lucky with Lucky McCord?
Despite Cassie’s reluctance to get involved, she would.
Lucky for her (pun intended), he’s up for a little playtime himself. The question is can they stop before they cross the line into something more?
Of course they can’t. That’s why it’s a romance novel. A good one at that.
I think Dixie Mae is my favorite character and she didn’t live that long. She definitely left a legacy, amongst a lot of other things, which brings me to the story.
Nice setup.
Well-developed characters.
Funny dialogue.
I must admit, Cassie’s interactions with Andrew (her pushy ex) bugged me. As a therapist she was too much of a pushover for a minute there. But she finally got her backbone so I didn’t completely write her off.
I fancied Lucky. His whole thing with spelling is too cute, and he has a way with words himself. I couldn’t wait to see how things would unfold with him and the kids. Of course I knew he (and Cassie) would grow to love them, but I so looked forward to see how he’d handle the challenges. He did a good job. They both did, but I of course, was more focused on Lucky.
Mason-Dixon needs a big whipping. His relationship with his mom (Dixie-Mae) may not have been good, but it sure as hell was funny. The book was funny. Not a comedy, but great dialogue. It’s what really kept me turning the pages.
The romance itself could’ve used a little work. It sometimes came across as somewhat forced and unrealized. And then boom! Right out of nowhere they are in love enough to marry. Ok, maybe so, but something was missing.
Overall it’s a pretty good story. Definitely lots of laughs.
