REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Unlucky In Love: A Second Chance Romance With A Little Bit of Halloween Magic

 Good morning, readers.


If you love unique book stores as a setting, characters that keep invested, then Unlucky In Love is the perfect October read for you.  This is part of a holiday romance series. This one in particular  is Unlucky In Love: A Second Chance Romance With A Little Bit of Halloween Magic. 

This type of title is a new way of getting in keywords as a marketing strategy. 

BLURB:

What if one masked encounter could crack open a heart long sealed?

Maeve Carter knows the safety of sarcasm and solitude—especially in October, when her little bookstore glows with pumpkin candles and faux cobwebs. But a friend’s insistence drags her to a Halloween masquerade, where a chance meeting in lace and shadows leaves her unexpectedly unguarded.

He’s a quiet craftsman who prefers carving wood to crowded rooms, yet something about her quick wit and hidden kindness pulls him into her orbit. In that dimly lit world of masks and moonlight, they share moments that feel far more honest than any they’ve lived before.

Back in the real world, their paths cross again in texts and tentative invitations—coffee, late-night banter, a shared pastry—each small step a test of their courage. She battles old fears; he wrestles with ghosts of his own past. Yet each gesture, each gift left on a doorstep or whispered in a workshop, chips away at the walls they’ve built.

When misunderstanding and mistrust threaten to undo them, it’s the quiet bravery of unmasking that proves the deepest magic isn’t in grand gestures, but in showing up—again and again—for the chance at something real.

In a story carved piece by piece, Maeve and Eli discover that the truest kind of love is the one you choose to brave.


Maeve character reminds me a lot of one of Raj's girlfriends from The Big Bang Theory. Lucy was very insecure and they never came together. But the insecurity vibe with Maeve in Unlucky In Love was definitely there. Thankfully, she had her bestie, Jules pushing her out in a way only a bestie can. Eri had his sister Sofie pushing him along. Everyone needs a wing man/ woman, right?


I enjoyed this book so much I may grab Unlucky In Love: A Holiday Romance With A Little Bit of Christmas Magic for one of the December reads.
