Resumen del Editor

Misfortune. Bad luck. Heartache. Devon Thorpe is no stranger to any of them.

After devastating news, Devon’s life becomes a prison of responsibility, heartbreak, and hardship. All her dreams to leave her small town vanish. A prisoner of circumstance.

At her breaking point, Devon has a reckless moment in a diner bathroom with a blue-eyed, sexy stranger. A single encounter with him leaves a deep mark on Devon, giving her only a memory of his touch when nights are lonely, and her life becomes too much to take.

Years later, a terrifying incident takes her and her family to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she finds work as a server at a bar to support her mother.

Tattooed, moody, rough, brown-eyed, and sexy-as-hell Lincoln Kessler, the mysterious owner of the saloon, instantly draws Devon in. She can’t let go of the feeling that there is some strange connection between them. But the more Lincoln tries to push her away, the more determined she is to figure out the enigmatic man. One fiery kiss, and Devon realizes she should have stayed away because when their worlds collide and tragedy strikes, she recognizes they are not each other’s savior but each other’s misfortune.

Warning: This is a tear-jerking audiobook about ill-fated love, heartache, loss, and finding your way through the pain. And a lot of bad luck. It is deeply emotional with sensitive subject matter that involves dealing with a crippling mental disease.

Wow

You guys! This book... I had to take a couple days to recover before writing my review. I absolutely loved this story! I listen to a TON of audio books so it takes a lot more than it used to to get me to cry and this one had me crying a lot! SO SO many emotions and pain and so real. It was so real I felt like I was living the story with them and that is what I love about books. I get swept away to my own reality for a few, this one did just that.
The narration was PERFECTION. Erin really knows how to nail the character she is playing. She is the BEST!

Really good book

This is my first book by Stacey and
What a journey and Erin Mallon was awesome as always. Great book

Wow! Just Wow

What an amazing journey this book has been. My first by this author but I’m definitely hooked.

The narration was perfect and spot on. The storyline was amazing and intriguing. Sensitive subjects were handled very tactfully and respectfully by the author. The emotions ran high in this book and tears did fall along the way but you still get a HEA ending despite the title.
I loved the characters and the chemistry between them. The sex was perfectly written and hot but not over the top. Don’t pass on this gem of a book. It’s so worth the listen and time investment. You will not want to stop listening.

So, so good!

I loved The Unlucky Ones. The story is unconventional and engrossing. I'm enamored by fate meets tangible electricity equaling defying all odds. In real life, do those exist? I'm not sure, but I have hope that anything is possible.

Erin Mallon was the perfect narrator for this book. I finished this in two days, which is saying something because I love audiobooks, but usually only listen while commuting to work. I was so hooked, I listened to this one every possible second. My only wish list item is that the book was in alternating pov. I'd have loved hearing Lincoln's side too.

Love all of Stacey’s Book she’s amazing

This Book was so good just like all of Stacey’s books she never lets me down.

Not what you would expect

First time listening to this Author and it was awesome, totally blown away did not expect it to be this amazing. Absolutely fell in love with the characters, ok maybe not Amelia 😊

I have listened to Erin Mallon and she is one of my favorite Narrators ever, she did a brilliant job with the narration hooked my from the start to end.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for an unexpected listen, it really isn't what you think.

4 Stars

I feel for the characters, life really handed them a bad hand. Overall, the story was good and Erin Mallon did a great job narrating it.

Why did I wait SO long?

I have been a fan of SMB for, well, a long time now and have read almost everything she has written and she has never written anything I haven't loved!!

The Unlucky Ones has been waiting for me to read it and let me just say I devoured it. This story had me laughing and literally crying and on the edge for most of the book. The characters are complex and raw. The story is heartbreaking and at moments hard to read, or on audio, hard to hear. The story comes full circle and is full of content. Thank you Stacey for another amazing ride!!

The Unlucky Ones

This is usually not my type of book, I tend to stay away from anything with younger characters but I really like this narrator and I was intrigued when I read the blurb and was asked to review so gave it a go and I am really glad I did. Devon is having the worst day, first her mom is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and her older sister is pregnant and not helping and then her boyfriend sends her texts (or sexts) meant for her friend which means he has been cheating on her. Slipping into the bathroom she is confronted by a sexy blue-eyed man and seduces him. Turns out he is arrested immediately after leaving. Years later she moves her family to the city so her mom can be moved into a home for better care and when she gets a job at a saloon the owner intrigues her and wants to fire her...hmm...why...Lots of questions and Devon is a lot like her dad who was the town Sheriff before he was killed in the line of duty. There is so much anguish but there is also so much redemption. I'm glad I had this on audio, not sure I would have given it a read on kindle but on audio it was perfect.
