Lauren Blakely is an author I've had on my TBR for a while, so when this book came up as an audible freebie, I decided to snatch it up and see what I thought of her writing style.
Verdict: I like it a lot. This story was short and cute. In a very short span, I got to know 4 characters really well and really like them. I got tricked a little, had some fun, and watched love blossom. For a short, that's a good showing. So I'm glad she's on my TBR and I plan to read more - full length books- from her for sure.
Lucky Suit was bloody awesome. I can't believe Lauren Blakely would tease us with such interesting characters, catchy storyline and awesome narrators for it to be so SHORT!! I could have easily spent hours...days...weeks (maybe not weeks, let's not get too crazy) with Cam and Kristen.
Kristen has been set up by her feisty grandmother a few too many times with very little success. None of the men she's dated can hold a sensible conversation, and when they do talk, it doesn't leave her satisfied. Kristen is keen to find companionship but it has to be with someone who shares the same interests as her. It's time for Gram to put away her matchmaking crown, so Kristen can find her own perfect match.
Cam is a little unsettled, and when he visits his uncle, finds that the slower pace and scenery a little too appealing. When he meets an old friend at his uncle's car auction, they have a very interesting conversation about her granddaughter Kristen. He's intrigued, but what're the chances of them having things in common? How could they even contemplate dating when he lives in a different city? Maybe he should just leave the opportunity for romance and love up to chemistry and chance.
It was such a sweet love story that captured my attention from start to finish. There was even a little curveball to spice things up. These two had such an instant attraction and connection but there were still stumbling blocks along the way.
I loved Lucky Suit but I was disappointed that it was so short. The narrators do an AMAZING job and definitely brought the story to life for me. I got a shiver up my spine when at the end it was announced that one of the additional characters was getting her own story...BIRTHDAY SUIT!! WooHoo!! I'm getting more of Cam and Kirsten and a whole bunch of other characters in Lulu and Leo's story.
There wasn't much to it, but what there was, entertained me from beginning to end.
