Description
Sloan Sanders’ perfectly curated online life is in shambles. Dumped the same day her dream business collapses and rocked by a shocking DNA test, she escapes to her aunt’s farm to regroup.
Instead of peace, Sloan finds herself knee-deep in manure and butting heads with Parker, the annoyingly hot stable hand who seems determined to make her life difficult. She thinks he’s shady. He thinks she’s an entitled princess. But as sparks fly and secrets come out, Sloan realizes the line between enemies and something more is getting blurry.
When a chance comes to prove herself and reinvent her future, Sloan needs Parker’s help. Transforming a dusty hayloft into an Instagram-worthy event space might just change everything—if she’s willing to show the world her unfiltered self.
Perfect for fans of Jen DeLuca’s Well Met and K.A. Tucker’s The Simple Wild, JUST MY LUCK is a heartwarming rom-com about identity, family secrets, and finding love where you least expect it.

Really enjoyed this book.
Didn't want to put it down. Really good characters and storyline.
This is my first book by this author and will definitely not be the last
Thanks Netgalley for letting me read this book for an honest review.

I simply adored this book! I was cheering so hard for Sloane the entire time and I'm so glad she got her happy ending.
Emily Wood's writing is masterful, full of heart and humor. I'm so excited to read what she writes next!

This is a well-paced narrative balance of descriptive detail and plot with likeable characters.
With so many plot points that you don’t know what to expect next, the book delves into the meaning of family. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll run the gamut of emotions along with the main characters.
Aside from a few continuity errors, the book was so engrossing that I read it in one day. Since this is an excellent debut novel, I look forward to her future works!
You’re telling me we get a book full of characters complicated backgrounds, enemies to lovers, a grumpy/moody ranch hand, a lost fleeing creator, AND a steamy budding romance?!!!
I’M IN!!!!
With an amazing setting and the BEST Aunt ever, we find our two main characters in Salem Stables where we see both Sloan and Parker grow!
The TENSION between these two grows and grows!
I was hooked from page one, read this book in one sitting, and could not put it down!!
I wish I had a Salem Stables to run away to!
I will sit here waiting we get books for all the characters, need to see Tibby and Jim again, as well as need a story for Cass!

This was a delightful read from start to finish! The book is full of themes of second chances and redemption. The plot was well-paced and the characters were charming and witty. This is definitely one I'll read again! Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.
Such a cute little read! I love a little romance book that you can’t put down. I read it in a day and just loved everything about it.

This is one of those books that takes me back to the Hannah Montana movie. Even with that city girl vs. country boy cliché, I thought the author managed to reinvent herself in an interesting way, and the couple exudes a wonderful chemistry. I've been in a serious reading slump lately, but this book has become a comfort book during this time.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.
I loved the flirty banter in this book! The whole book was a fantastical delight from start to finish and I think this author is going to quickly become a favorite for sure!
