Book Description

January 5, 2010

One schoolteacher who won't let anyone push her around

After being the center of nasty gossip in her last hometown, all Julie Donovan wants in Saint Jo, Texas, is a quiet, uneventful life for her and her daughter, Annie. But when a sexy cowboy walks into her classroom with a daughter who looks like Annie's twin, suddenly the whole town is looking for explanations…

One stubborn cowboy who's more than willing to cross horns

Devoted single dad Griffin Luckadeau will do anything to protect his own, and no sassy redhead is going to get in his way. When he thinks Julie is scheming to steal his ranch out from under him to benefit her own daughter, sparks really begin to fly... Julie and Griffin can't seem to cross paths without a scuffle. But when the dust settles, these two Texas hotheads may realize they've actually found something worth fighting for…

A cute and quirky entertaining story... great characters, loads of chemistry. (Jaquelyn R. Ward The Romance Stuido 20091123)

Fans of contemporaries, especially category romances, will enjoy spending more time with the Luckadeau clan. The plot moves quickly, and even though the story's end seems a little too conveniently tied together, many readers will look forward to the continuing family saga.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like a car accident, March 12, 2010

Silver Spring Shopper (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Getting Lucky (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is fascinating. In it, someone wore a "floor length sheer duster" over her "dressy palazzo pants". There was some bedazzling too I think. The heroine's nemesis had a gold fingernail and the hero had black wranglers he wore with a big belt buckle and western style tuxedo jacket (who knew such a thing existed?). Reading this book was like watching a car accident, I wanted to look away, but I just couldn't. There were identical twin cowboys, identical cousins, infertility, infidelity, Iraq war veterans, a wildfire, a cattle auction, the richest man in Wyoming, and a meth lab -- all in the same book. Seriously, I was put off by how confrontational the heroine is throughout the book and how frequently she curses, uses "ain't" as a word, and threatens to beat women up. It made me wince that she was a kindergarten teacher with such a potty mouth. That being said, I still read all 400+ pages. So, it is intriguing in a car accident kind of way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming Cowboy Silliness, July 26, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Getting Lucky (Mass Market Paperback)
OK this is the kind of book that all other "Romance" novels are unfairly judged by. Half-naked good looking guy on the cover, lots of silly cliche ridden dialogue, sprinkled with every ridiculous "down-home" proverb you can imagine. With that said, if you have an ereader or book cover to hide this guilty pleasure it's really not too bad. There is a clever twist or two I didn't see coming, the sensuality is not too intense and the child characters have a precocious sweetness that is not too far off from a couple of cute kindergarten kids. I can't completely recommend as an auto-buy but I will keep an eye on this author in the future. Good for days when you just got back from the dentist...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another smash hit for Carolyn Brown, December 27, 2009
This review is from: Getting Lucky (Mass Market Paperback)
Griffin Luckadeau is trying the best he can to raise his five year old daughter, Elizabeth "Lizzy". Though, it isn't easy as she has the Luckadeau blood running in her veins. As we all know Luckadeau's can be very stubborn with a capital `S".

Julie Donovan and her daughter, Annie has recently moved to the town of Saint Jo. Julie is the new school teacher. Julie is looking to make a fresh start for her and Annie. Julie may need to re-think her location, when tall, dark and handsome Griffin walks through her door. His daughter Lizzy is in her class.

From the first moment Griffin lays eyes on Julie, he is memorized by her beauty. The funny thing is that he doesn't have a thing for red heads but yet this is one red head that he wants to get to know better. Though, Griffin can't help but suspect that Julie has an ulterior motive for showing up in Saint Jo.

Getting Lucky is the last book in the Lucky trilogy. I am sorry to see this come to an end. I have enjoyed getting to know all of the Luckadeau men. They really know how to make a woman's heart race. Though, it was nice catching up with all of the Luckadeau's. They all made appearances in this book. Julie and Griffin were both so stubborn and won't admit their feelings for the longest time that it made you want to give them both a swift kick in the behind. I have to admit that Lizzy, Annie and Chuck stole the show for me. They were so cute with the comments they made. I wanted to give them all a big hug. Carolyn Brown has done a great job with these books. I can't wait to read her next novel, I Love This Bar. Another book that also features ...a cowboy! Yee Haw.
