Lucky Break

Lucky John Adventures, Book 1

De: Mark Stone

Narrado por: Jeffrey Holz

One good deed can change everything.

After saving a woman from an armed robber at a truck stop, former soldier John Lucky is more than happy to take her number, even if she does print it out on a lottery ticket. He's even more happy when that ticket wins the lottery and he can take himself and his Army bud Davey down to Florida so they can live the good life in the paradise that is the Gulf Coast.

Drinks, girls, and good times take a backseat to trouble, though, when "Lucky John" (as the papers dubbed him) finds himself entangled in a murder investigation that might send the luckiest man in the world down the river for a crime he didn't commit.

Fans of Travis McGee, Wayne Stinnett, and Randy Wayne White will love Lucky John and his friends' misadventures in the Gulf Coast. Pick up a copy of this edge-of-your-seat, fun-soaked adventure today!

5 stars

Well done. Well narrated. Will be looking forward to the next release from this author. I received this copy free in exchange for an honest review.

I do think Davy deserves a Porsche! Ha ha!

Loved this action filled story! John is such a likable character. Kind, smart, considerate and friendly heck even his side kick and best friend is that same way. Together they always have a good time which usually leads to an Uh-Oh moment. Then chaos happens and we get to see who comes out on top.

The author does a wonderful job of pulling me into this story! It was hard to stop listening when the time came. I loved all the action and suspense he built! I eagerly look forward to more in this new to me series!

I listened to this on audio. Jeffrey Holz was a perfect choice as narrator. I loved listening to him portray these characters. Great voice for these types of stories!

Lucky Jon

well, talk about a full action book. this book sucks you in from the beginning. Jon Is a truck return millionaire. Jon goes into a Convenience store to get something to drink while he's there looking, a guy decides to rob the store. Jon goes to help and knocks the guy out with a wine bottle. so then the girl decides to thank him and just to get his number he buys a Lottery ticket, and ends up winning. he ends up in a town in Florida and that is where all the action starts. I'm telling you, you are not going to want to put this book down. this story is so good and the narrator did a really good job too.

Recommend

This was a very entertaining book. Soldier wins the lottery, moves to Florida, and then gets involved in a murder. They call him Lucky John which is the funny part. I look forward to reading more from the author.

I received this book for free in exchange of my honest opinion.

Highly Recomend

The start of this story really reminded me of the start to the movie "It Could Happen to You." Guys wins lotto, thanks to ticket that happens to have a phone number, and so on. Obviously nothing like that movie in ANY other aspect, but it made me laugh thinking about it, and that's always a good thing. From there its really a non-stop ride of plot, and all in all, a fantastic listen. I have a 3 hr commute each day, and while laughing along I felt myself wishing traffic was a little slower for the first time in recorded history.

My only complaint about this would be that it was not dual-narrated. Maybe ive been spoiled by all the new books recently with dual (or more) narration, but this one felt a little flat because of the lack of it. Jeffery Holz does a great job as the male characters, but its just missing something having him try to do a female voice.
