REVIEW WEDNESDAY - Lucky In Love

 Good morning, readers!

I have to admit I had a little trouble getting into this week's story. Might have been partly due to this horrid sinus/ head cold thing I have going on. I'm usually only sick once a year and it's usually pollen induced. Imagine my surprise when our local weather channel started offering the daily pollen count. Too late. My head was ahead of him. LOL

Today's book was originally titled St. Patrick's Day Surprise. The story culminates around St. Patrick's Day. Here's a bit about the book.

Michelle's life followed a perfect script—until her fiancé tore it up and walked away. In the wreckage of her broken engagement, she seeks refuge with Elijah, the one man who has been her constant since childhood. They make plans to see her parents for St. Patrick's Day, just like they've done every year, the perfect escape from heartbreak. Except now Michelle starts to realize Elijah is her best friend for a reason--he truly cherishes her. He's been there through every painful moment and shared in her every joy. The one who has never left her side. 

Elijah only wants to see Michelle smile again, to be the steady presence she's always counted on. But the more time they spend together, the more he realizes he's fallen in love with her. If they take the risk, could they build something lasting? Or will crossing the line between best friends and lovers shatter the only relationship they've ever known?

This heartfelt romance features Best Friends to Lovers and Jilted Bride—a sweet, swoony love story about healing, hope, and discovering the love that's been there all along.

Once I got into the story the pacing went well until near the end when it seemed like Cristina rushed to pull things together. In one spot they're at her parents in New York and the next he's pulling her suitcase into her apartment in Malibu. There wasn't any bridge between the two. Something like, back at her house the next day... type of thing would have made for a smoother transition. 

Over all, I enjoyed the book.

I'm giving Lucky In Love...

THOUGHTFUL MONDAY

 Good morning!

I hope you're doing well with your goals and energy.

Being Irish, I will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day tomorrow. Are you Irish, or do you just join in the fun?

As a practicing witch, this is a busy week for me celebrating a New Moon as well as the first day of Spring, or as we say, Ostara. How do you celebrate spring?

All my best!
