When Jason Corwin and Lauren Perkins
were teenagers, their secret love affair ended in
heartbreak. The Perkins and Corwins have been enemies for a
very long time, since a witch from the Perkins family placed
a curse in revenge against her broken heart on the Corwins
family. Years later, Lauren is back home attempting to sell
her grandmother’s house when she bumps into Jason at a town
festival. While things seem to pick up where they left off
between Jason and Lauren, Lauren is determined to keep her
distance. Lauren doesn’t want to get hurt again and her
dream of becoming a fashion designer is taking her to Paris
anyway. Jason knows all about broken dreams. He doesn’t want
to stand in the way of Lauren’s, but he doesn’t want to lose
her either. When things start going mysteriously wrong for
Lauren, Jason may have to protect her then let her go.
Lauren and Jason are almost doomed from
the start in Lucky Break. Hidden treasure, an
unstable sister, a curse, and family members who believe
more in that curse than in each other conspire against them
at every turn. I like that there are very few pretenses
between Lauren and Jason. It lends to a more meaningful
relationship between them. Jason and Lauren seem made for
each other. It’ a shame they lost all of that time together.
They do a good job making up for it though, with a tender
romance laced with sizzling hot sex. The curse destroys many
lives, but by book three of the Lucky Series, it seems
everyone gets their happily ever after. I felt badly for
Lauren as she struggled with the weight on her shoulders and
I loved watching Jason help bear her burdens. Lucky
Break is the perfect ending to this delightful
trilogy. |
