Lucky in Love

By: Kasie West

Narrated by: Laurence Bouvard

Maddie doesn't believe in luck. She's all about hard work and planning ahead. But one night she buys a lottery ticket on a whim, and, to her astonishment, she wins!

In a flash Maddie's life is unrecognizable. No more stressing about college scholarships - nope, now she's suddenly talking about renting a yacht and basking in the spotlight at school! But then rumors start flying, and random people begin asking her for loans. Suddenly Maddie finds that she isn't sure whom she can trust.

Except for Seth Nguyen. Her funny, charming coworker at the local zoo doesn't seem to be aware of her big news - and, for some reason, she doesn't want to tell him. What would happen if the one person she still trusts were to find out?

With tons of humor and heart, Kasie West delivers a million-dollar tale of winning, losing, and falling in love.

A little disappointing

I had just finished another book by this author right before starting this one and I had high Hope's. Unfortunately, the story felt pretty slow, and was thus kind of boring. The reader's voice was grating, and all the male characters sounded extremely annoying and mostly the same so I hated listening to any of their dialogue. overall I was pretty underwhelmed.

Disturbingly real

When I just heard the first chapter, I was thinking this book might not be as good as others by Kasie West that I loved. I was wrong. As the story developed, it was not as much a love story as disturbing reality. The main character, Madeleine, finds herself suspecting and mistrusting everybody around her. This happened in my own life, so I could relate to the issues. It bothered me a lot to the point I thought I might have to stop reading to the end. Best scene was when the lost dentures were found in the zoo.

If it was my first

If this would’ve been my very first book by West, I would’ve absolutely loved it but, I wasn’t and I didn’t. The story had some merit and the performance by Bouvard kept me going. Overall I did enjoy the book enough to finish it, I was a very light read and the romance was PG. West is a very talented writer and I’m looking forward to read/listen to more books from her.

Sweet story, not my fave narrator

I would've enjoyed it more if the female narrator hadn't made the 18 year old male characters sounds like they belonged in grade school.

Not the best book

Lucky in Love by Kasie West feels like it’s her first book—to much minutiae dragged it out. Still fun, but not as much as her other books.
