Lucky refuses to let her unending run of bad luck ruin the opportunity to build on her grandparents’ dream and carve out one of her own.But forces greater than chance are out to sabotage her new life. They’re after the lodge, the land, and they want Lucky out of the way by any means necessary. Danger lurks closer than Lucky knows.
Fortunately, she’s found herself lucky in love for the first time ever, thanks to the secretive drifter she picked up and brought home on a whim. By day, he plays the role of the worst handyman in existence. But when the stakes are raised, and Lucky’s life is on the line, he’ll move mountains to keep her and her legacy out of the wrong hands.
Ms. Fortune is a romantic suspense novel from author Jay Crownover. This is my first Jay Crownover book, and I loved it! I gobbled this book up and loved every second of it. In Ms. Fortune, we meet our main character Lucky, who seems to be anything but her namesake. Her life feels like a series of misfortunes after misfortune, but she loves her family. And the resort her grandparents left her feels like a last lifetime to them, so she puts her all into it. I loved Lucky and Risky (Declan Risk)
Lucky and Risky were fantastic together. I loved how complex and real they felt. I was shipping them from their first scene together. This book flowed perfectly and I was easily able to gobble it up in one sitting. Lucky’s bad luck takes so many twists and turns, it had be bouncing back and forth between some strange coincidences to something much more dangerous being at play. I loved the push and pull this book gave me. I was constantly trying to guess what was going to happen next while I was reading and it was so much fun for me!
Ms. Fortune was equally strong in the plot department as it was in the character development and romance, which is no small feat. Lucky and Risky felt so real to me. I think both character driven readers as well as plot driven readers who enjoy romantic suspense will love Ms. Fortune.
The ending of this book, left the doorway open to more. I believe some of Jay’s books have character overlap and this story definitely got me thinking of some future branch offs that I would love to see. It would be great to learn more about the mysterious Risky! Overall, Ms. Fortune was a great read! I really enjoyed this and I can’t wait to read more of Jay’s books!
Let me know which of Jay’s books I should read next!
