The Plot (from Goodreads):
It’s no secret that I love life. And Dr Pepper. But also, I love a challenge. . .
So when the coach of the Chicago Comets gives me the opportunity to help their star player, newly traded to their team, acclimate to life in Chicago, I’m all in.
I have to be. After my last job went up in flames, I have something to prove.
It turns out that the player, Grayson Hawke, is the rudest, most off-putting, reclusive guy I’ve ever met.
It also turns out that he is the beautiful stranger I kissed on New Year’s Eve.
I can do this job. I can do this job. I can do this job.
And I can. Really well.
I can make Gray’s life easier, show him all the reasons to fall in love with this city, and in the process, hopefully completely forget that the amazing kiss ever happened.
How hard can it be? We’re total opposites anyway.
I love people . . . and all their stories. Gray loves hockey . . . and nothing else.
I love to talk. Gray only stares.
I’m happy-go-lucky. Gray’s all work and no play.
There’s just one problem. The more time I spend with Grayson Hawke, the more I start to see that underneath his bristly, standoffish exterior, he’s nothing like the man everyone thinks he is.
And suddenly, all the reasons for keeping my distance, staying professional, and not falling for someone again. . . are impossible to remember. My Lucky Charm is a grumpy/sunshine, sweet hockey romance with all of the sizzle but none of the steam. It’s the second in the Holidays with Hart series, but My Lucky Charm can be read as a stand-alone.
My Review:
My Lucky Charm by Courtney Walsh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved My Phony Valentine, so I’ve been eagerly awaiting this second book in the Holidays with Hart series. We met Eloise in the first book while we read about her sister Poppy, and now it’s time for Eloise to get a love story of her own!
Eloise is the youngest Hart sister, a sweet people-pleaser who thinks every relationship is The One.
Courtney Walsh promised us the grumpiest of grumps, and she certainly delivered! I was in love with Gray from the start, and only adored him more after his backstory was revealed. He might be my new favorite MMC! Sunshine and grump is one of my favorite tropes, and it was SO well done in this book. Eloise and Gray complimented each other perfectly. I loved how focused each was on making the other one happy, even before they admitted that they liked each other.
I’m looking forward to Raya’s love story, and can’t wait to see which holiday Walsh chooses to set it around! Pick this one up for a fun, lighthearted romance that’s sure to make you swoon.
