Getting cheated on and left with a hotel bill that costs more than she makes in a year was not a part of the plan when Riana came to Las Vegas to marry her wealthy fiancé. Her plans also didn't include getting bailed out by Quinn, the ex-boyfriend she hadn't planned to see ever again. For Quinn, Riana was the one that got away and he's never gotten over her, no matter how successful he became.

Riana insists on paying Quinn back, so he makes her an offer--spend the next month with him and his business partner Austin while they're on vacation. But as the month comes to an end, Riana has to face the reality she's falling for Quinn and Austin...and the possibility that one crazy night in Vegas could cost her one--or both--men.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I've always been a fan of Opel Carew's and was excited to get an aARC of this book! Stroke of Luck is a second chance romance that is a little unconventional, but in the best way possible! I loved the story of Riana and Quinn with the added bonus of Austin. I blew through this book and could not put it down! Very good read. It was quick and easy too, but didn't lack a story line.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Griffin for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't not enjoy this one. My first pet peeve was a the paragraphs were very short and had this *********** in between them! It drove me crazy! Second, the pet made no sense to me at all! She is started paying a bill for her ex, who was in charge of the money. Then her ex from high school shows up? Then the ending?? Blah.

Loved reading the sensational and awesome story. When Riana breaks up with her fiance, he leaves her with the hotel & wedding bill. Quinn comes to Riana's rescue and offers Rianna a place to stay and an arrangement with Quinn and Austin for a month. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of passion and romance, and a must read love story.
I reviewed a copy of the story through NetGalley.

Steamy read!

Having called off the wedding, April is left holding the bill for the hotel, dinner and all which she cannot afford to pay. In swoops her ex-boyfriend, Quinn. He happens to over -hear her dilemma and offers to bail her out. In return she promises to do whatever Quinn and his partner, Austin, want of her for one month. But with the month coming to an end, April has fallen in love with them both, but do they feel the same? How can both Austin and Quinn find happily ever after with April?
I enjoyed the characters in this story and the chemistry between them was HOT.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This book will not disappoint anyone looking for an erotic read. This story is filled with pages upon pages of steamy sex scenes between the main characters. I absolutely enjoyed the playfulness of Austin's character. He made me laugh and his character made this story light and funny. I thought Quinn was an okay character and I thought April was weak. I really dislike when female characters come off as weak and naïve and she was both. I needed to feel more chemistry between the main characters. Lust was there but there was never a time while I was reading this story and thought this is love. Love was no where in sight and although the characters said the words I didn't believe it. The connection that I needed to feel between the main characters just wasn't there. The ending was okay, nothing special. I just wish this story had that something special that would have made this a great read. It had potential but it fell short. Overall, this was an okay story and it's good for a rainy day or to pass the time, but this will be a one time read for me. However, I wouldn't be against giving another book from this author a try.
Would I recommend readers give this book a try? Sure, why not? Just because a story wasn't a 5 star read for me doesn't mean it won't be for you.

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Opal Carew. Anything with a mild or full on pornagraphic content always catches my attention. However , I was slightly disappointed due to the often lack of descriptions and at times unrealistic content - (after all; any women that’s had anal sex knows that it is quiet painful for the first few minute unless your man is on the smaller size , so the fact that Quinn slipped right in didn’t work for me). The characters I loved and I found endearing however; the story line could have been developed a little bit more especially and the ending.
All in all a bit of fun and lite reading when the mood strikes ;)

Very very hot book. Second chance erotic love story. Save by her ex-boyfriend , Riana enter an intense threesome with Quinn and Austin.

Stroke of Luck has it all! A great storyline, twists and turns, humor, off-the-charts chemistry, heartbreak, second chances, plenty of feels, drama, oh, and plenty of hot and engaging scenes.

I volunteered to review an advance reader copy of this book.

Received as an ARC from netgalley for an honest review and opinion. Must say was a great read, but for mature audiences only! April is in Las Vegas for her wedding day and right before her wedding she finds her fiance with another woman. Just as she is being kicked outed of her suite at the hotel she runs in to her ex boyfriend from college. Broke, broken hearted and nowhere to go he proposes an arrangement between him and his business partner.

I received a free copy of Stroke of Luck by Opal Carew in exchange for an honest review. Once again, Carew knocked it out of the park with er unique writing style and great stories. What I love most about Carew's stories is the character development and plot. I've read many menage stories and so many authors lack a believable story or a natural development of relationships. Carew does both very well and Stroke of Luck was no different. Once I started reading, I never book this book down.

I felt so connected to Rianna. This poor girl was abandoned at the hospital by her mother at birth, and bounced from one foster care situation to another. All Riana wanted was to feel accepted and loved, and she thought that she found that with her fiance. However, the day before her wedding she saw her fiance screwing some bimbo. Rianna did the right thing by calling off the wedding, but her ex fiance just couldn't let it go, and stuck her with all of the wedding expenses, took her extravagant ring, and basically everything in her suitcases, and closed her credit card, leaving her stranded in Las Vegas with just the dress on her back.

She ran into her college boyfriend and his partner at the hotel, and they were there to save the day. Even in such dire circumstances, Rianna always tried to do the right thing. Most people given her circumstances wouldn't hesitate to retaliate or become bitter. Not Rianna. She didn't want any handouts from Quinn or his business partner Austin. So, she made a deal. What a deal it was.

Anyway, this was just another great book, and I'd definitely recommend it to friends and family, along with all of Carew's other book.

This book is hot, steamy and full of great characters. I do wish we got more details at the end with what the ex fiancé was up to trying to swindle her and then coming back in and offering her this huge sum of money. The chemistry between the three of them is off the charts hot! The fun situations these three find themselves in is such riot of a good time to read about. The wedding and how she only remembered parts of it then all the sudden she remembers the prenup and they story really gets good! Austin is such a straight to the point, tell it like it is kinda guy, I love his character so much!

This is an erotic MFM novel about a second chance love. It kept my attention and the plot was okay. Thank you to netgalley for the arc.

I enjoyed the plot of this story very much. It's almost like an erotic second chance romance. Adored the ending!!....but some words, like passage and cockhead, were overused and made me roll my eyes a little. However. I still enjoyed the story.
Classic Opal Carew.
Happy reading!

This book was so hot! And definitely romantic. The emotional turmoil each character felt was clear throughout the book. And omg the things that poor woman experienced at the hands of her ex! Good thing she had four comforting hands to help make her feel all better!

April is jilted before her wedding when she catches her fiance with another woman on the eve of her wedding. Defeated, sad and destituted she is left with the bill for the whole affair and stripped of all her worldly possessions. While having an issue with the hotel in Vegas she meets an ex boyfriend Quinn. And his business partner Austin He agrees to help her, but he has unresolved anger and issues against April. However as the story unfolds and their journey begin, they both come to some clear realization about their past and what the future might be for the three of them. This is not a story for the faint of heart, their steamy sexy encounters will more than steam up your ereaders it will make you longing for something like this. Two imperfect men to make a woman happy, protected , safe and cherished. This is another great story by this author.

It's hard to believe that so much can change within 24 hours. Aprils head had to be spinning. Plus emotions all over the place.
Luck goes from horribly bad to wonderfully good in minutes it seems.
I loved, Stroke of Luck, so much. I will definitely be rereading it.

Kindle Copy for Review from Net Galley and St. Martin’s Press.

I received a free, advance copy of this book and this is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Dumped by her fiancé in Vegas with a huge hotel bed, she didn’t expect to find herself the next morning married not once but twice the next morning to her old boyfriend and his partner. Her former boyfriend still loves her and offers to pay the bill for a month in their company.

Typical situation ensues as she will fall for the both of them after the month is up. Why settle for one when you can have both?

Opal has the sexiness and steam amped up in this book. She keeps you wanting to see where the story goes and how the characters will interact.

The thing that most disturbs me is when a good premise, or at least an interesting premise, is followed by an endless series of sex scenes that cover an obvious lack of plot. Too bad because despite the number of people in bed, the reading was not at all enjoyable in the end...

La cosa che piú mi disturba, é quando ad una buona premessa, o quanto meno ad una premessa interessante, seguono una serie infinita di scene di sesso che coprono una evidente mancanza di trama. Peccato perché nonostante il numero di persone nel letto, il libro non era per niente piacevole alla fine.....

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I have read and enjoyed Opal Carew's books in the past. Stroke of Luck feels like it is missing something. I felt like I could and did predict what was going to happen in many parts of the book.
