Just My Luck

De: Alice Winters

Narrado por: Declan Winters

Killian
When I’m tossed into the trunk of a car, I realize that what little luck I have has finally run out—especially when I find that Tony, the man who’d abducted me, is planning on using me to get back at my father. My chances for escape look pretty bleak when I’m handcuffed to Tony’s bodyguard, an intimidating man named Shepherd who apparently loves tight shirts and seems to be amused by making my life miserable. Soon, though, I learn that Shepherd has a heart and a brain. And sometimes, those two things can be a bigger weapon than anything in a time like this. I just have to learn how to wield them.

After Shepherd gets me away from Tony’s men, I discover that he’s a survivor, a fighter, and the only person who seems willing to help me when it feels like the whole world is against me. At first, I’m not sure if I can trust the man, but the more we get to know each other, the more I realize that he’s funny and kind of sweet. He’s determined to protect me, but he doesn’t know all of my secrets. He doesn’t know that Tony isn’t the only one looking for me. But together, as we face betrayal and taking down the worst monster of all, we’re determined that we will be the lucky ones after all.

Just My Luck is a 101k word book featuring two broken souls who find peace in each other. While it does have a mixture of action, humor, and Alice’s trademark snarky banter, there are moments that might be considered darker to some listeners.

Not what I expected, It was not my cup of tea. I have to admit I prefer her books with more humor

Bear is the bestest and cutest pupper!

I was so excited when I found out that Just my Luck was finally going to be available in audio and Declan Winters did not disappoint, he did such a great job! I feel like his voice was a perfect match to how I imagined Shepherds voice to sound like!

Darker...but so good.

Although this story is much darker than most of Alice Winters' work, I couldn't put it down! I was captivated by Killian and Shepherd. I made several guesses as to which way the story would go, and wouldn't you know it, these characters had minds of their own and the story just got more and more interesting. While I still prefer Ms. Winters' funnier stories, this one was really good. Declan Winters did a good job bringing the characters to life.

Flawed but wonderful main characters

Loved the romance and humor . Alice Winters never disappoints. Her work is an automatic buy for me.

My heart hurts

Well written story. A bit darker than most Alice’s books with less hilarious shenanigans. Morally gray characters that win you over sooner or later. Delicious snarky banter. Dog named Bear. Those freaking sad faiths that make you wanna cry and rage and go get milk and cookies for the poor guys.

so dang good

Declan Winters does an amazing job in bringing Shepherd & Killian to life! Even though this is only in Killians POV, you don't get lost! You just know who is talking and understand the emotions of these men stubbornly falling doe kne another.

Killian has the worst luck in finding people to let into his life. Not a single one of them hasn't betrayed him in one way or the other, until Shepherd. Shepherd does what needs to be done to survive. He hasn't had an easy life but survives as best her can. When he sees Killian as more than the hostage, he does the unthinkable and does something for himself. As you would expect from Alice Winters' story, the banter is top notch, the stories of how they are, what they are, heart-wrenching, and yet their love is pure and non-negotiable once allowed. I truly adored Killian, allowing Shepherd to go at the pace he needed to be comfortable in any type of intimacy. He proved to be trustworthy, allowing them to slowly but surely become closer. Great plot kept you on your toes, guessing what could happen next, and if there anyone in this world they can trust aside from themselves.

Spicy and sweet.

Shepherd and Kilian both find what they need. Romcom at its best. Great storyline and amazing narration. There are a few twists that keep you hooked and the ending will surprise you. I will look for other series by Alice Winters.

So Freaking Good!!!

One of my favorite authors + one of my favorite narrators. Declan brought Killian and Shepherd to life and I am here for it. I've been waiting what feels like forever for this book to be made on audio and I couldn't be happier with how it came out. Alice has a knack for finding the best narrators for her audiobook stories and while I am positive one of her usual guys would have done an amazing job, Declan blew me away. This was their first time working together but I really hope it isn't the last. The story of course was brilliant, as is everything Alice writes. Killian is the perfect blend of sweet and naive but also very smart and practical. And poor Shepherd just needed someone to love him. Bear was a great side character and I love his and Killian's relationship. He's not just a dog, I felt like he really held his own in this story. I am not sure what else I can say to convince anyone to listen to this book except if you like a darkish story but with enough humor to make it not feel so dark, this is the book for you!

Different but in a good way!

This title is different than the other Alice winters books I’ve read. A bit more serious and dark, but I really like it. I will say I didn’t feel the chemistry between the two MC’s at first. I think their connection was more of a trauma bond than anything else. However, as always, the banter was 10/10. I honestly think this author can do wrong, and this book is another example of how talented the writer is. Narration was 10/10 as well.

Loved it

I loved the way these two listened to each other and was there to be what the other needed to overcome their past and get away from the lives they were trapped in. They supported each other through every challenge. There was a lot of dark, messed up stuff in the story but the end was satisfying.
