The Good Luck Charm Helena Hunting 9781538760147 Books Reviews

• This was a DNF for me. Both Hero and heroine were annoying he, because he was so selfish and self-involved; she, because she was dumb and a doormat. Seriously, how did this book get so many 5 stars??? It isn't particularly witty or interesting, the plot is non-existent other than the separation aspect in the past, the dialogue is uninteresting and there is no depth anywhere. Finally, I gave up (and I hardly ever do that!) and put it down for good. This is my first book by this author and I'm guessing it will be my last.
• New Book Boyfriend Alert!
  
  Helena Hunting has definitely delivered with a swoony hero in Ethan Kase. Although who are we kidding- she always delivers in the sexy book boyfriend category. The newest release features a second chance love story between the book’s main characters, Lilah and Ethan. For anyone who knows the heartache of a first love lost the story will resonate with truth and consequences of following your dreams. Hunting has the ability to weave beautifully deep and complex storylines while maintaining the sweetness, humor, and sexy times that we have all come to expect and relish in.
  
  It was evident from the first page that these characters were created with love and it was impossible not to instantly fall in love with them. The book started with Lilah having a rather challenging morning, and I felt like I was reading my own autobiography with as much as I could relate to her. She was a strong woman that was focusing on her dreams when a ghost- the ghost- of Ethan Kase returned to her life. Ethan is a professional hockey player that was dealing with a difficult time in his career while also dealing with a family issue that brought him and Lilah crashing back together, forcing them each to face their past, regardless of how painful it may be. Ethan had chosen hockey over his relationship with Lilah, and he definitely had to prove himself again to get her to know she could trust and count on him.
  
  In true Helena form there are some hilarious moments that made me laugh out loud and some super steamy scenes that made me swoon. There was a big twist in there that just kind of came out swinging, knocking me out with the completely unexpected nature of it and I loved how it worked into the story. The book was a perfect balance of sweet, sassy, sexy and angsty and I did not want it to end. Like at all. Like, I went and reread it.
  
  If you fell in love with the Pucked series there is a mention of those sexy Chicago boys, but this book is a standalone. It was like a hug from old friends when they popped up but Ethan is more than capable of standing on his own and he did in a big way.
• Say hello to another swoon worthy romance! Helena brings back the heavy in the best way with The Good Luck Charm. A young romance ended too soon. A woman with a second broken heart and a man with a second chance.
  
  Ethan regrets the decision he made years ago to leave his first love behind. But its a tough choice for a young man between what if and what could be. He choose his dream career and left Lilah wondering just where they went wrong. Now he's back in town and it could be for good. He has to put some demons to rest before his life takes another turn downhill. Lilah's had the worst day filled with divorce papers, a second father's medical scare and now her first love is back in town. There's too much history for them to get along now. But Ethan's got more than just reconciliation on his mind.
  
  The light-hearted humor and wit that any HH fan knows is definitely present in TGLC. Ethan and Lilah, whether they're fighting or reminiscing, have the ability to outwit and go head to head with one another. But Hunting takes us back to her original romance feels of heavy story lines. These two have so much to get through from their past. Ethan's betrayal towards Lilah is built in layers of young ignorance. As Ethan tries to win back Lilah he unknowingly slips back into his old habits of depending on "rituals" to win games. Soon Lilah feels as if she's not just a woman to Ethan any more, but instead that he is with her out of habit in order to further the career he originally left her for.
  
  Prepare for love and heartbreak with this new romance. Lilah has to fight tooth and nail to decide what she truly wants and deserves. A failed marriage after a broken heart and a family that had abandoned her and her sister left her with a rough start. There's solace to Lilah's work but it too holds secrets. Ethan has to fight for the future he wants, be it Lilah or hockey. With twists and turns and hope for the future this romance has got it all. Fun, sex, laughter, heartbreak, sadness, and the reality of true love.
• The Good Luck Charm is a complete standalone and while it does involve hockey, Helena did a great job making sure to make this story completely separate from what we have seen with the Pucked series.
  
  This book is slightly heavier than what we usually see from her, but there are some bits of humor sprinkled in at the right times. I find second chance romances interesting because I enjoy seeing how the characters run into one another again, how the past ties into the future, and what makes this go around better. And with strong dialogue and character depth Helena covers all of that in a very well thought out way. Definitely worth reading!
• I was so excited to read Good Luck Charm. It’s a new hockey romance by Helena Hunting. Where the Pucked series is definitely more of a romcom, Good Luck Charm is more contemporary romance. I enjoyed it just the same.
  
  Lilah and Ethan were childhood sweethearts. Eight years after they broke up, Lilah is working as a nurse in their hometown and Ethan just got traded to a hockey team close to home. What if your first love is your soulmate?
  
  I really like liked that this story showed that there are other important areas of life than just romance. To be truly happy, you have to be fulfilled in each. There was definitely a twist or two that I didn’t see coming. Overall, I had fun reading this book. I can only hope that I one day read the story before Carmen and Dr. Lovely.
  
  I voluntarily read an early copy.
