Just My Luck is here!
Download your copy today!

You might think it’s reckless for a single mom to enter into a marriage of convenience with her boss . . .
You would be correct.
To make matters worse, Abel King is a grumpy local brewer with a criminal past. He also happens to be my boss and a total stick-in-the-mud. Every time I come to work with a smile and wave, I’m lucky if I can get a grunt in response.
When I accidentally-on-purpose overhear that he’s having trouble securing a business loan due to his criminal record, I hatch a plan to help the both of us.
The arrangement is perfect—a business transaction and nothing more. Like having a roommate without the hassle of other people bugging you for dates.
I will definitely not be falling in love with him—no matter how many times he says “my wife” and tingles dance in all the right places.
Trouble is, as time goes on, things stop feeling like business and start feeling a whole lot like pleasure . . . and really, that’s just my luck . .



My Review:

ARC: Release Date- 07/15/2024

5 STARS

#MarriageofConvenience #ExCon #GrumpySunshine #SingleMom #Workplace #SmallTown #FamilySeries #ARC

Written in first person from an alternating dual POV, this book gives Abel and Sloane their HEA. Though their love story stands alone, this series is better read in order due to underlying plot points that extend throughout the series.

Abel. *sigh* I think he just became one of my favorite “my wife” heroes of all time. He is tough, grumpy, scowly, and growly on the outside while inside he harbors the soft heart of a man who has been hurt and broken. Sloane loves to poke the bear. Working for Abel, she finds joy in being the one to rattle his cage a bit. Their banter is on point. Sloane is fierce and strong and willing to do anything to protect her kids. She is such a good mom. I adore the marriage of convenience trope and this one handles it perfectly. From the proposal forward, I was completely hooked.

I love how they move from boss/employee, to friends, to more in such a natural way. I adored Abel’s protective nature over Sloane and the kids. Speaking of the kids; I loved, loved, loved the relationship Abel formed with them. I really appreciated that Sloane sees Abel for who he truly is and not who he is made out to be. I loved the heat level between them and the meddling family that gives them an opportunity to break through the walls they have keeping them apart. There are underlying suspense plots that run through the series and readers get a little more information in this book. They are also presented with a few new twists. I am very excited to read more of this series, in part because I cannot wait for Karma to catch up with Abel’s father, Russell King. That will be a very happy day for me.

Book reviews for books read January 19th-24th

  Happy weekend! I decided that since I hit 7 books this week I should just go ahead and push this out today. I will read at least one more today but you will see that review next week. I had a gap between ARCs! I went back and finished the Kings of Avalier series that I started in February 2024.  SO GOOD! They are new adult, which is not my norm, but the fantasy realm made them un-put-down-able. I am thrilled to meet the author in Phoenix in a couple of weeks. I read the next book in the J. Saman series I am making my way through. Those Abbot-Fritz brothers are something else. I adore that whole family. I read four novellas with 2 of those being new-to-me authors. Coco Miller's book was a fun billionaire read, and Regine Abel's Prime Mating Agency was GOLD. You will see in my review that I loved this first in series book, and I am super excited to read the rest of them. I read a wonderful mafia novella by Lee Savino. He is truly obsessed with the girl without it being a terri...

Book reviews from the week of January 8th

  Happy weekend fellow readers!  I had an AMAZING week reading.  I read three ARCs, a prequel to a new series and one of the ARCs, a book on my TBR, and a newly released memoir.   Kait Nolan's new series Kilted Hearts is set in a small Scottish village and I am 100% hooked on how this is going to play out. I need the whole series now.  Carly Phillips is getting ready to release a short follow-up to Just One Spark.  I love seeing Cassidy and Dash work on their marriage and compromise for more happiness.  Melanie Moreland released The Watcher while I was on vacation last fall.  It has been patiently waiting on my kindle for me to get back to it. And now that I have I need to say WOW! Damien is everything I needed him to be.  Following that up with an ARC of the final book in the series, I then fell head over heels for Egan and his romantic soul.  Finally, I spent 2 days reading Prince Harry's newly released memoir.  I had a lot o...

Book reviews for books read October 20th-31st

  I read two arcs in the second part of October. They were both wonderful reads. Obviously, my personal life has impacted my reading as I only finished 5 books this month. I can't tell you when the last time was that I read so little. The positive part was all of the books I read this month were very good. Until next time, happy reading! Can't Believe You Came (Mile High Matched #5)  by Christina Hovland ARC: Release Date- 10/24/2025 #CinnamonRollHero #OppositesAttract #ARC I am voluntarily writing this honest review after receiving an advance reader copy of the book. It is written in third person, can be read as a standalone, and ends with a HEA. I have loved this series from the beginning. It is wonderful to finally see the last Dvornakov get their HEA. Zach is a cinnamon roll hero to love. He falls first, fast, and hard for Piper. Piper, who is type A personified, does her best to control every situation she is in and Zach is an outlier. His calm and steady presence c...
