Reviews
"In this launch of a new trilogy, Phillips does what she does best:
deliver stories that are light but not silly, with believable
characters and plots that flow into satisfying stories. Fans will be
stalking stores to get all three of these."
"This was a fun and light story to read and I enjoyed the way in which
Ms Phillips was able to bring the cast of characters in this small town
together. She has also creates the mayhem involved and makes for a very
plausible scenario. In the next books we will see how the curse will
affect others in the family."
"A cute romance full of sexy shenanigans and a little blackmail, Lucky
Charm is a delightful romp from the pen of Carly Phillips. Although the
plot is clichéd, and everyone knows how it will end, it doesn't make
Gabrielle and Derek's journey any less special. Derek has allowed the
family curse to shape his life, which in turn has shaped the lives of
others as well. Even as a teenager, Gabrielle never gave the curse any
credit, but there's only so much she could do to convince Derek that
they would be okay. Now, all these years later, absence has definitely
made the heart grow fonder. Secondary characters, such as Gabrielle's
best friend, Sharon, and the fiendish Perkins family, all play their
parts in this love story. A nice little romance from an author who
always delivers, don't miss Lucky Charm."
"Lucky Charm kicks off Carly Phillips' new series with pizzazz. The
protagonists are attractive, the romance is h-o-t, and the fantastic
supporting characters make the pages seem to turn by themselves. There
is love and laughter aplenty in this terrific story. Reading Lucky
Charm is a perfect way to spend a few pleasurable, humorous, hours with
new friends."
"I fell in love with Carly Phillips new novel, Lucky Charm. It sizzles
with sparks of lust and laughter as it tells the story of a family
curse. Complex relationships, gossipy small-town life, steamy sexy
situations, and a plot that is wickedly delicious will have fans
eagerly clamoring for Carly's next novel. Carly's humor laced tale
contains more laugh-out-loud lusty romance than an afternoon soap
opera!"
"Lucky Charm is fast-paced, can't-put-it-down action, suspense and
horniness. Despite that, I recommend Lucky Charm to any reader who
likes a good story with well-rounded characters and some hanky panky.
I'm glad to see there will be stories for each of Derek's cousins."
"This is a delightful, charming, well-written, fun book to read with
lots of passion and hot, hot intimacy. Derek and Gabrielle are adorable
together and his daughter adds a special aspect to their growing
relationship. I really liked the ways these characters seemed to grow
through the book. I can't wait until the next two books in this series
make an appearance in 2009. Once more Carly Phillips has scored a
winner with this excellent novel."
"The chemistry between them is fantastic, and the story is told with a
fabulous combination of sensuality and humor. I absolutely adored this,
and cannot wait for the next two "Lucky" installments of Corwin men."
"Lucky Charm is utter entertainment—a fast-paced mini-vacation for the
mind. The story is more a romantic romp than paranormal suspense and
Ms. Phillips balances the sense of humor with funny scenes and
poignancy of emotion in the darker aspects of the story. The sex scenes
are tastefully adult and though somewhat predictable, the romantic
finale leaves the reader with a smile. I recommend this book for the
pleasure of reading and romance lovers. As this is the first of a
trilogy about the Corwin men, I look forward to Mike Corwin's story."
