The Lucky One

A One-Night-Stand Romantic Comedy (Carolina Connections, Book 3)

By: Sylvie Stewart

Narrated by: Meg Price

Luck is no lady...in fact, she can be a downright bitch.

Jake:
Coming home was supposed to be my shot at redemption. Instead, I’m finding myself chasing after an irresistible blonde whose mercurial behavior could give Jekyll and Hyde a run for their money. I’ve got too much on my plate to get tied up in knots over a girl who wants nothing to do with me. But Bailey Murphy may hold the key to my redemption, and I’m not giving up on either without a fight. "Irish" might play with a poker face, but I’m about to call her bluff...and I hope like hell I’ve got luck on my side.

Bailey:
Let’s get one thing straight. I am not your typical girl. Sure, I’ve got all the parts, but I’ve been a stubborn, irreverent tomboy since the womb. Which makes it particularly ironic that my heart is so damn girly. It falls in love at the drop of a hat and leaves me to deal with the aftermath. But no more! If Jake Beckett thinks spending one night together gives him some claim on me, he’s got another thing coming - even if the mere thought of that night leaves me panting like a damn Labrador. I’m not about to open the door and let Jake in, but that choice may be taken from both our hands.

Funny!

Bailey and Jake's story was the same type of snarky humor that I have come to love in this series. Bailey is definitely a tender hearted person who has had her heart broken and doesn't trust herself or anyone else much. Her armour is her quick wit and snarky attitude. Jake meets his match when he hooks up with Bailey and a wedding of mutual friends.

This story brings us back into the fold of the series characters who play another major role in this story. I love that their stories continue on through the series, too, so we can see where they are at as well. There is a good love story here with a lot of good one lines. It was a good read.

The narrator did a great job bringing to life these characters.

The Lucky One

What a great book! I really like this family and friends and their closeness that they have with each other. Everyone is in everyone’s business and yet they all still get along really well. These two characters are really fun to see in action, with all the drama they create. Watching their walls drop and the willingness to let someone in was fun the whole time I listened.

fun romantic romance

A well written funny sexy entertaining story that was wonderfully narrated.  This amazing standalone is part of a series. I am looked forward to others and reunited with past and present characters and meeting more. I loved the humor, romance and drama in this smooth flowing addicting story. The narration was perfectly done, being easy to follow characters and scenes adding a whole new level of enjoyment, perfectly portraying these strong characters. 

Bailey is my spirit animal!

I received this audio book as an advanced reader copy for free for my review. Bailey and Jake are hilarious! Story is done well and the humor is on point! Jake is persistent and Bailey is reluctance personified lol. I love this story arc!

My favorite book in the series

I absolutely love this series. But Jake and Bailey are amazing characters. I love her Tomboy self. And Jake's love for her is so sweet. Definitely a relisten is ahead for me and a must listen for you! Great Narrator also.
