ReviewsQuirky, even slightly crazy secondary characters join these strongly developed protagonists and add to the fun in this sassy, sexy story with a rapid-fire pace. Second in Phillips's trilogy about the Corwin curse, this winner will send readers looking for the rest. Library Journal
Carly Phillips can always be counted on to provide a book that stirs heartfelt emotion and tickles the funny bone, too. She’s certainly continued that tradition here, and I highly recommend you don’t miss LUCKY STREAK. Lori Ann, What a fun book! ...Carly Phillips pulls out all the stops in LUCKY STREAK. There are bad guys trying to find Amber and good guys protecting her. There’s laugh-out-loud humor, and toe curling romance. Ms. Phillips’ perfect pacing and fabulous sense of humor makes this second entry of “The Corwin Curse” a sure-fire hit. LUCKY STREAK is enchanting, delightful, and entertaining with enough sexual heat to thaw your deep-freezer. Betty Cox, ReaderToReader.com
Part two of Phillips' Lucky trilogy is even better than part one. Strong, well-drawn characters with real-life problems increase the reader involvement. In case you missed the first book, this one also stands on its own. But you will want them both, count on it!
The second Corwin contemporary curse romance (see LUCKY CHARM) stars two fabulous lead protagonists whose recent work places them on opposite sides of the law. The story line is fast-paced from the moment Mike and Amber meet and never slows down in Vegas or Boston. Although the ancient curse plays a lesser role in Mike’s saga, fans will appreciate Amber opening Mike’s eyes as she colors his world with love if he accepts her as his heart’s artist.
Phillips second entry into this series is fun and engaging, with less to do about the curse than about family dynamics, relationships and what loving someone really means. www.theromancereader.com Lucky Streak is a fun filled read. There are plenty of quirky characters, yet when push comes to shove they show what they are made of, and don’t come off as clowns, but rather as loving and caring people who truly care about their families, and others. www.aromancereview.com The second Corwin contemporary curse romance (see LUCKY CHARM) stars two fabulous lead protagonists whose recent work places them on opposite sides of the law.

It is filled with quirky characters whose off-beat lives not only amused me but stole my heart. LUCKY STREAK is a delight to read. The story is engaging, and moves along at a fast pace. The reader goes from set up to introduction to marriage—then, to the fall out of that impetuous act—in a heartbeat. When the slot machine pays off for them I felt like I was right there on the Vegas strip. I was transported for a few hours, and loved every minute of it. When Amber leaves Mike high and dry, I felt sorry for him. The important thing is that I cared about these characters, a lot. I wanted him to defeat the curse, and for Amber to find a new life. I wanted success for them, and when it looked dicey my heart fell. A pure escapist romantic romp, LUCKY STREAK is sure to please. There is one book left in this series, and I can hardly wait to read it. Well done!Kay James, Romance Reader at Heart Lucky Streak is a fast paced, fun read with intrigue as well as quirky characters. I think you will enjoy the time you spend reading Lucky Streak. While this is book 2 in the Lucky Series it can easily be read as a standalone. Joyfully Reviewed |
Long ago, as revenge on a Corwin who stole her son's fiancee, a witch
proclaimed an eternal curse that every Corwin male who married for love
would be destined to lose his love and his fortune ...
