Lucky Like Us audiobook

This review was originally posted on Addicted To RomanceThis review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review. First Impressions Lucky Like Us is the second installment in the “Hunted” series and this is the FBI agent’s twin brother and I was really eager for his book. I was really hoping that this would be a win and it definitely was such a solid read and Jennifer Ryan just has a flair of writing that works so well for me. I was so intrigued to see how this story would be crafted and from the very beginning this book just was so intense and kept you on the edge, I really love how this author can just pull me so quickly into a story and It was such a quick fast read and the type of story that I wanted to stay up all night reading. I was drawn into this romance because it was so different from what I expected it to be. There is a level of intensity to their connection that was so unique, but I really loved the dynamic of a FBI agent as a hero and a heroine who is a baker but also runs in high society due to her family’s name. They make such a solid pair and this is the type of book that will captivate the reader so quickly. Summary Elizabeth Hamilton is a bakery owner and is always working to help others and baking treats for the homeless, the children’s hospitals, and for law enforcement. When she hears a pop sound out of her shop, she goes out to investigate and sees an FBI agent out cold, and a man trying to kill him, Elizabeth runs out to the scene to try to protect the agent and in the process of the fight she ends up shot and injured and barely alive. Elizabeth and Sam are both rushed to the hospital, both working on healing and recovering from their injuries. Elizabeth is the daughter of a high-profile judge and she has a very protective family and at first, they are bitter against Sam, but soon reason returns and they end up fighting for Sam. Sam, stays by Elizabeth’s side, protecting her and they build a connection as she is highly drugged but they communicate through hand-pressed signals, and it’s adorable. Once Elizabeth wakes, Sam is her protector and guardian as her life is in danger as she saw the face of the secret killer that Sam has been hunting, but through him protecting her they build a beautiful love connection, and Sam realizes how perfect Elizabeth is for a partner for a FBI agent but will he be able to protect the woman he loves… What I Loved Lucky Like Us was such a fun story and I really enjoyed the intensity that we get in the story. I honestly didn’t expect half the romance to be such a quiet assurance of a build-up in the romance. I really loved the family of Elizabeth that we are introduced to (and I believe her two brothers have books later in the series which I am stoked for) we also see a great mystery unfold with Sam and him being an FBI agent. We really see a side to be an FBI agent, and how lonely it can be for them. The romance between Sam and Elizabeth was so sweet and strong. They have an instant connection, and I loved how they had no reservations in embracing their bond and not letting fear get the best of them. Elizabeth makes the PERFECT heroine, I just loved how badass she is, she is a sweet and caring, but when it comes to people she loves, she is a fierce lion and so sassy when needed, I really enjoyed how accepting she is of Sam’s choice of career and just his is strength, and just stands by him so fiercely and it’s so beautiful and refreshing to have a heroine that has such strength for the hero when he really needs it. What I Struggled With There wasn’t really much, I wish there was more couple time on the page though, almost half of the book the heroine is drugged and not conscious so would have liked to have seen less time of that. Overall View I found Lucky Like Us to be is a superb installment that will leave the reader on edge, delivers intense emotion, and will have you cheering this couple on towards their happy ever after!

Sam had no idea what hit him. Literally. Elizabeth was strong, determined, sweet, caring, understanding, and smart. She did what had to be done. She was that woman. I knew that Sam would need a woman that could match him in every way. I loved this paring. I loved her family they loved her, cared for her, and stood by her. This one was drama, suspense, and romance. The draw between the two was clear and strong. Great addition to the series and onward I go to the next one.

4.5 estrelasLer este livro foi uma verdadeira lufada de ar fresca! Desde o início prendeu-me com a sua doçura e meiguice; foi tão fácil apaixonar-me por Sam e Elizabeth, adorei ler a sua história, comoveu-me a forma como se estabeleceu um laço forte entre eles, dois perfeitos desconhecidos, enquanto ela esteve no hospital, inconsciente e ele lhe falava. Também adorei as famílias de ambos, são tão fofos e estão sempre ali uns pelos outros. Não esquecendo Tyler, o parceiro de Sam e como é intrigante a história com Morgan, uma mulher praticamente desconhecida, aparentemente com poderes psíquicos, que de vez em quando contacta com Tyler para deixar pistas para desvendar os seus casos. Só não arredondo para 5 estrelas porque na segunda metade a ação fica mais parada e a captura do assassino no final foi muito fácil e não muito convincente.Definitivamente, uma série a ter debaixo de olho e espero ler o segundo livro entretanto.

Another hunter dead, such a great story . Elizabeth saw a man in her alley what would she do she went to check on him and when a car came towards them she saved him. Sam was going to meet a man who had information unfortunately he was hunted and was left for dead. Elizabeth being the kind hearted women she did was she could to save him, in the process she now became hunted, half of the story was her in the hospital but it was great because that is were Sam and Elizabeth relationship starts to form and they get to know each other better. This was filled with suspense as well as seeing a relationship start to form between Morgan and Tyler can't wait for their book.

Awesome read. Perfect amount of suspense and romance. Great writing and storytelling with a perfect group of characters you want to know more about. I highly recommend this one

I realize we’re only into book two in the series, but I’m beginning to wonder if this is going to be a common theme: heroines who get themselves hurt doing stupid sh*t. I liked the way it’s handled better in this book than the previous one. The first time Elizabeth is injured it’s in the very noble gesture of protecting Sam. And while the final time she risks her life is by her own design, at least she does it knowing she has FBI back-up to protect her. I also really appreciated that this pair waited most of the book before becoming intimate. There was time to build a deeply believable connection between them. I am intrigued to continue with the next book in the series.

Elizabeth and Sam have a rocky road. Sam is on the trail of a serial murder, assassin for hire involved in insurance schemes. Elizabeth is the daughter to a prominent federal Judge who owns and operates a bakery. Their paths cross when she helps him escape from the murder who has drugged the FBI agent, but that move his crosshairs to her as the only person who can identify him. Pick up this book to find out if love can really grow under such stressful circumstances.

The plot, the hero, the heroine, the romance and the side characters hit all the right spots for me so yes I loved this book!My only very very minor complaint was the issue with Sam's job. There were times he said he was burned out and did not enjoy his job anymore and suddenly he loved his job? That part was a bit confusing but it might just be me not comprehending something.

WonderfulThis was very well written. The characters were built perfectly and resulted in all the feels for every single one of them. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book considering the first book was good and the second one was great. I’m betting book three will be fantastic and the books will just keep getting better.

Great ReadsGreat series. I have enjoyed each and every book. Characters are stimulating and fun. A series I purchased in Kindle and Soft back to share with friends. Know I will re-read them 📚

Lucky like usThis one was a little bit easier to believe. Still have a problem with sex when someone has been on life support for days if not weeks and have all this energy. What ever they are drinking, I want some of it...
