Sandy M’s review of Ms. Fortune by Jay Crownover
Romantic Suspense published by Jay Crownover 17 Mar 25
Lucky and Risky. You can’t get two people any more opposite than they are. Lucky has the worst luck you’ve ever seen, all the while trying to keep her and her grandparents’ dream alive. Risky is also trying to begin a new life away from the greed and violence he’s seen his whole life. Bringing them together is brilliant.
Lucky’s bad luck goes from bad to worse as she gets closer to opening the lodge her grandparents gave their lives to. Now she wants the same dream. But the closer it all gets, things out of the blue come along to derail every little bit of happiness for herself and others she’s trying to do. Her new inept handyman, Risky, tries to keep her and the opening on track, but the more crazy and dangerous incidents happen, the more he has a feeling he knows what’s going on.
And to a point, he’s right. But there’s plenty of twists and turns in between to keep you guessing how it’s all going to end. I like that Risky doesn’t give up on Lucky, no matter how much she believes she’s not good for anyone because of her “luck.” And he steps up where necessary to make sure she’s safe and loved.
True romance with a few giggles along the way. Be sure to read this one. You’ll be become a Jay Crownover fan for sure.
Grade: A
Summary:
Sometimes the universe has jokes.
Like a woman named Lucky Fortune who has lived her whole life plagued by one mishap and misfortune after another. The catastrophes that regularly derail her life would crush a normal person, but Lucky is stubbornly resilient.
The single constant in her life is the rustic and rundown ski lodge her grandparents built in a small, picturesque Colorado town. And now it belongs to her.
Lucky refuses to let her unending run of bad luck ruin the opportunity to build on her grandparents’ dream and carve out one of her own.But forces greater than chance are out to sabotage her new life. They’re after the lodge, the land, and they want Lucky out of the way by any means necessary. Danger lurks closer than Lucky knows.
Fortunately, she’s found herself lucky in love for the first time ever, thanks to the secretive drifter she picked up and brought home on a whim. By day, he plays the role of the worst handyman in existence. But when the stakes are raised, and Lucky’s life is on the line, he’ll move mountains to keep her and her legacy out of the wrong hands.
