Lucky Dawg Meets Lucky Lucy

Lucky & Lucy, Book 1

By: E.G. Fox

Narrated by: Scott Pollak

Lucy: She's perfectly happy living with her dog (named Bear) and her two horses (Trixie & Ditto) in her fixer-upper cabin in the mountains. She's seen some weird stuff going on out in the woods, but has given up even thinking about that - until Lucky Dawg shows up at her door (yes, his last name really is Dawg).

Lucky: He has a few funny male quirks - it's a guy thing. He's decided to write Online articles about some of the weird happenings in the world (mostly to prove that they're "natural" happenings), and Lucy is his first attempt to write an article.

Will Lucy even speak with Lucky when he shows up at her door? How will Bear react?

Is it just some weirdos riding 4-wheelers through the woods having fun spooking Lucy, as Lucky originally thinks from reading the short article on the Internet - or is it something more sinister?

This audiobook has a happy-ever-after ending. This is the first book in the series, but is also a stand-alone listen.

Cute Story with good narration

This was a quick, enjoyable listen. A middle age man, fairly average from what I can tell, decides to do an investigation in to some phenomenon that had been happening in the NY region. He and Lucy fall for each other quickly. I really liked Ditto the horse. One thing I could have done without, though were all of Lucky's 'yeah right' moments. The narrator did a good job. I would be glad to listen to something narrated by them in the future.

Wrong Category - Should Be Paranormal/SciFi

✍
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

*After agreeing to listen to this book, I saw that it contained paranormal stuff. I contacted the author/narrator and explained that I do not care for this type of drama (paranormal, sci-fi, etc.) Offering to give the gift back. I was told not to worry, there was a lot of romance with a lot of boudoir scenes. So I went ahead and listen based on those claims.

For the record, this is a science fiction, PNR style book. It's focus is on the life and apparitions that they had seen. And the constant worry of being discovered.

Anything else that I say will spoil for the rest of you.

I found that the end was interesting but unsatisfying because it is a big-time cliffhanger, so I don't really know.

The narration was great, it was smooth and all the characters were done in a way that I can understand and make unique in my own mind

Notes: For the 18+ reader for sex. This IS science fiction. The language had a couple of F-bombs but they were few and far apart.

Stars: I am going to be a bit harsh but please remember I was looking for a romance . I was assured that it was a bit of sci-fi with a raging romance. The raging romance was not a problem for me, the PNR WAS.

Looking forward to the next one

Fox delivers on characters, use of language,feel

AudioBook Review: Stars: Overall 4 Narration 4 Story 4

A short introduction to the characters, world and author’s writing all come through in this first installment in Edward Fox’s story, Lucky Dawg Meets Lucky Lucy.

Fox delivers on characters: Lucky (so named by his parents) is a detective of sorts- investigating aliens and other UFO type activities despite not really believing in the phenomena. He’s got a very “noir” approach to dialog and use of language, fond of “gal” and sounding very 40’s in all the best non-pc ways. Lucy has retreated to life in a small cabin in the woods with her dog, preferring solitude and her own space to a life filled with people, but close enough to get necessities. With care, Fox brings us enough background on these two characters (despite the abbreviated length) to give us some solid belief in their reasoning and needing to know what would happen with these two.

When things go bump in the night, and Lucy starts to see things that she can’t quite rationalize or explain and things start to twist. A blog post brings her to Lucky’s attention, and he takes a circuitous route to her in New York. Together, Lucky and Lucy are electric. While there was an instant connection between the two, Fox doesn’t use the connection or the steam that illustrates it dance over the edge of crude. Yes, there is sex, steamy moments even, but displayed with a sensuality (and lovely dialogue) that truly keep readers engaged and believing in their connection and relationship. Cleverly done in about 130 pages, Fox has managed to make their story feel much longer and deeper, we haven’t noticed the short length until it is over – and we want more: more of this crazy mismatched couple, more about the aliens, more from The Alien, and even to see what scuffle and mystery Lucky will drag us into next.

Narration for this story is provided by Scott Pollack, my first introduction to his narration. A bold choice, and if I had to describe him, his voice is similar to Scott Simon of NPR fame. Use of his voice as “Lucky” feels solid and appropriate, with adjustments in tone and delivery to fit the moment. When voicing Lucy, he doesn’t change his tone much, but does use nuanced delivery and presentation to bring her to light. It was a delight to listen to, and he managed to present the story, not overreaching for emotions, action or adding to context that readers would interpret for themselves.

I received an AudioBook copy of the title from the Author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

Completely unlike anything I normally read.

What a nice surprise!! I throughly enjoyed this story. It was amusing and interesting from the first page. I've fallen in love with male romance authors and can not wait to read the next installment in the Lucy and Lucky adventure.
