This book is a fun romp. Our heroine finds herself at a crossroads after saving a witch/fortune teller, 5 predictions that end with her dying but also finding her soulmate Alistair. This is fantastic read and Kylie Scott hits it out of the ballpark. Lilah and Alistair are perfect for one another.

This book was something different. I blended some tropes and did it well. I really liked the characters. Lilah was relatable - - albeit a bit stubborn at times. And then there is Alistair - - who doesn't love a good illegitimate prince with a chip on his shoulder? He was a great character and I really enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom and both of them "grow."

When Lilah saves the life of Good Witch Willow, she makes several predictions of things that will happen to Lilah, including that she will die in a week. She also predicts that Alistair is Lilah's soulmate. Since he's a playboy and is seen with many women, Lilah immediately dismisses it all. Then she almost runs into him - - literally with her car. And they form a friendship which may just lead to more....

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I chose to read and review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

There’s a fortune teller at a party, and after it’s over Lilah Goodluck saves her from being run over. In return, the fortune teller says her boyfriend is cheating on her, repeats the lotto numbers, says she’s not getting the promotion she wants, and tells her the name of her soulmate. And one more thing, she’s going to die in a week.

Lilah doesn’t believe in fortunes, but when she finds her boyfriend with another woman and doesn’t get her promotion, she buys a lottery ticket. Her soulmate’s name is an actual bastard prince with a world wide reputation, so she doesn’t believe that. Until she wins the lottery, and literally runs into the prince’s car in a parking lot. Now Lilah is extremely concerned about the last part of the fortune.

The prince, Alistair Lennox, is intrigued with Lila and her story. He wants her to experience some of the things she’s put on her bucket list and goes out of his way to make sure they happen. As they spend all their time together, they fall into a whirlwind romance and Alistair decides to keep a close eye on her on the day she supposedly stops breathing.

I didn’t want to put this one down. The plot is excellent, and I loved the characters especially Alistair’s mother.

4.5 stars.

Thanks to Harlequin and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

It was fine. A cute, quick read. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the free book to review.

I loved The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck!! It was such a great read. It had me laughing out loud throughout the entire book. I couldn't put it down and read it in a matter of hours in one sitting. I loved the natural progression of Lilah and Alistair's relationship. I also loved the secondary characters as well, particularly Alistair's mom.

Oh my goodness, I was not prepared for how much I fell in love with this book and the two main characters, Lilah and Alistair. The 'predicted death' trope has been done before but Kylie Scott pulled it off so well. I even didn't mind just how fast Lilah and Alistair fell for one another.

Plus sized librarian Lilah saves a 'witch'/fortune teller from getting hit by a car and in return she gives Lilah the following insight: "He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”

When things start to come true, Lilah has to grapple with what she wants her last few days to look like and things get extra interesting when she runs into Alistair, the bastard son of the King of England. Lots of fun activities follow, as Lilah helps Alistair open up.

Great on audio and highly recommended for fans of authors like Holly James and Rebecca Serle. I adored every second of this book! The banter was top notch, the sex was steamy, it had emotional depth and was just plain fun to read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review. This is by far my new favorite Kylie Scott book and I'm shocked more people aren't raving about it!

Steam level: open door

This was such a fun read with an interesting premise! Imagine getting five predictions after saving a psychic's life and one of them is related to one's death 😂😶 You know what they say - no good deed goes unpunished 😂⁣

Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow while crossing the street(after meeting her at her bff's birthday party) and she gets five unwanted predictions as a reward. She doesn't believe in them at first but when she comes across her boyfriend cheating on her and she's passed over for a promotion at work, mild panic begins to set in 😶 The psychic had also mentioned the winning lottery numbers, her soulmate's name(Alistair George Arthur Lennox) and that she'd die within a week! Things take a turn when she almost crashes her car into(yep you guessed it) Alistair's while driving and she ends up meeting him too. The lottery numbers are just as predicted, so Lilah starts making a bucket list of sorts for herself(just in case) and decides to check some things off the list with the unexpected help of Alistair!⁣
⁣
This was so funny and sweet at the same time! I loved Lilah and Alistair's sarcastic banter! They get to know each other over the course of a week or more but their relationship development was well done. And while Alistair is a bit of a grumpy alpha, Lilah doesn't hold back either and she always gives as good as she gets. While Lilah has her own worries about these predictions she doesn't let it hold her back. Also, I enjoyed having no miscommunication or third act drama in this one! Alistair's mom - Helena was so hilarious too 😂 and I loved how everything was wrapped up in the end!⁣
Would definitely recommend this one if you're looking for a fun and hilarious romance read with an interesting premise!❣️✨

This is a fun quirky and escapist read that is perfect for cozying up with on a cold winter’s day. The characters are engaging, the plot is involving and there are both humor and heart here. Readers will want the best for Lilah as her life is turned upside down and her end may be in sight. How will she fare? Readers will turn the pages eagerly to find out.
Many thanks to HTP and NetGalley for this title. All opinions are my own.

Title: The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck
Author: Kylie Scott
Genre: Romance
Rating: 4.5 out of 5

“Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”

When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in that nonsense anyway?

But when the first three predictions come true within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.

While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days may be numbered.

The snark is real in this read! I have no idea how many times I snorted with laughter while reading this. Lilah and Alistair are both such memorable characters, and I enjoyed both of them very much. This really is like a modern-day fairy tale---but with attitude. If you’re looking for a fun weekend read, you’ve found it.

Kylie Scott is a bestselling author. The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck is her newest novel.

I really loved this. Such a cute story with great writing. I love the plot, it made me want to keep reading to see what happened. I think with the entire book leading to the mystery ending it could have spent a little more time on the big moment. It passed pretty quick for all the build up. However the writing and banter were perfect and Kylie Scott will be an auto buy author for me.

If you loved Last Holiday like I did, you'll love this book. Lilah gets five predictions from a witch and within 24 hours three of those predictions come true. The fifth is that she's going to die in 8 days, which means she'll have to do all the things she's been waiting to do and become a braver, bolder version of herself. Good thing Alistair is around to help her knock things off her list and sweep her off her feet!

"The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck" as a fun, cute, and steamy escapist romance. I'm not someone who reads billionaire romance, but this book was really giving me billionaire romance but nice and fluffy vibes?

There were so many things that I loved about this story. I loved the emotional development of the characters, both together and personal growth (though I wish we saw more of it and I hope they both go to therapy). I loved the side characters, and the note that one character used a mobility aid. I would love to see some of the side characters get their own stories.

I also loved how there was plus size representation in the book without feeling like the book needs to prove that fat people are deserving of love. Books where body positivity and addressing fatphobia are the main focus have their place and time for sure, but they don't need to be the focus of every book about a fat person. "The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck" acknowledged the realities of being a plus size person without bringing down the general uplifting energy of the book.

I thought the ending was a little rushed and I wish it were a little more drawn out. Additionally, a few things that were touched on in the epilogue would have been nice to include and expand on in the story itself.

4 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for the eARC. All opinions are my own.

This was a fun story with likeable characters. I enjoyed Lilah's character development over the course of the book.

This book was a lot more fun than I expected seeing as Lilah is living out her last days. Or is she?

Lilah gets an unasked-for reading of her future from Good Witch Willow after saving her life. Willow doesn’t hold back, giving Lilah the bad right along with the good. As much as Lilah would love to discount these predictions, as one thing after another quickly proves out, she feels she has to play the odds and assume she doesn’t have much time left. But what has she done with her life? While Lilah wants to shake things up a bit, she doesn’t go the skydiving or bungee jumping route. But she does go about having experiences that will make her happy.

Oddly enough, one of the seer’s predictions is that Lilah’s soulmate is a well-known man who’s not quite royalty. And low and behold they (almost literally) run into each other. While Alistair doesn’t trust anyone and can be quite abrupt, there’s something about Lilah he cannot stay away from. These two have chemistry even if they don’t want to admit it to even themselves. She exasperates him to no end, or so it seems. Ali’s POV isn’t given, but it’s not needed. He gives Lilah glimpses of his true self more and more as the story progresses. Being inside Lilah’s head as her insecurities often take hold is so real and beautiful.

There are so many fun characters in this story. From Ali’s friends and family to Lilah’s parents, everyone is welcoming and eccentric in their own ways. I would have loved having more of Alistair and his friends, to learn more about that connection. They helped cement my love for Ali. I wish Lilah would have leaned on her best friend a bit more, too. But this story is, ultimately, about Lilah and Alistair and I loved the time they shared the page most of all.

I absolutely loved this book! It was so quirky and fun. The MCs were both likeable and the pacing of the story was pretty perfect considering everything happens over like, 10 days. I loved the sarcastic humor and found myself lol-ing quite frequently. Lilah is sassy and bright and Alistair is just dreamy. This would be a great movie!

I read this in about a day because I needed a fun and light read and this was perfect.

Imagine a Ladyship using a super soaker toy gun to spray you with essential oils while throwing Himalayan sea salt at you. Can you even? Yea, this book has some random and hilarious moments.


Lilah saves the life of a witch one day and the witch says this to her “Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”

WHAT!?

So really that’s all the synopsis I needed to start reading it 😂

Thank you to the author and publisher for the advanced copy!

Lilah Goodluck is such a charming book and every page reminds me why I love Kylie Scott! The quick whit and banter between the main characters is funny and endearing. Lilah is an ordinary girl that through good luck or bad luck, gets a free psychic reading from Good Witch Willow. One of the things GWW tells Lilah is that she will die in 8 days. While Lilah, of course, thinks the premonitions are silliness, it doesn't take long for 1, 2 then 3 of the visions to come true. Suddenly Lilah is worried that her fate is near. With the help of one of her possible fates according to GWW Lilah begins to fulfill a bucket list of sorts, you know, just in case. Alistair is not only very attractive, and possibly royalty of sorts, but he also has the means and the inclination to help Lilah with her list. Despite declaring her "just a friend", Alistair has to work extra hard to control his growing feelings for our sweet Lilah. TLDOLG brings us fun, kindness, royalty, a smart sassy heroine and a hot Scottish hero. What more could we want? Let's just hope it lasts longer than 8 days!

This may be my favorite book so far this year! Lilah and Alastair were adorable together. They both had a sarcastic sense of humor that I enjoyed and, although the storyline was obviously over a short period of time, the growth of their relationship felt like it was at a good pace.

I also really enjoyed the secondary characters, including a quirky mom (him), supportive parents (her), and great friends (both).

Thanks to NetGalley and Grayson House Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck came out yesterday so go check it out!

After saving Good Witch Willow’s life, Lilah Goodluck (oh, the irony!) is given 5 predictions, whether she wants them or not. Her boyfriend will cheat on her, she’ll be passed over for a promotion at work, she’ll win the lottery (if she can remember the rapid-fire numbers the witch spouts), her soulmate’s name is Alistair George Arthur Lennox, the illegitimate and hot as hell son of the reigning King of England, and she’ll die in 9 days. After the first three come true in a matter of hours, she begins to worry that her days are truly numbered. When a distracted Lilah totals her car to avoid hitting Alistair’s, this serendipitous meet-cute with her own Prince Charming leads to 8 days of checking off items on her bucket list while trying to fight their growing attraction and feelings, lest they discover they’re soulmates and the final prediction of her death becomes inevitable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this first-person POV, light-hearted, instalove, grumpy/sunshine romance featuring a curvy librarian in Los Angeles and a prince with some serious trust issues and a need for control. It reads like a modern-day fairytale a la Pretty Woman, including a Rodeo Drive shopping spree, complete with a fake relationship, parental abandonment by the King, and some pretty steamy scenes given the intense chemistry between the two. I love the witty banter, not just between Lilah and Alistair, but also with Alistair’s free-spirited mother Lady Helena and her everyman Dougal. I really hope they make this into a movie with great actors because it would be a hoot and harken back to the golden age of romantic comedies. If you need a mood lifter and like romances with no third quarter break-up where the MCs have open, honest communication and bring out the best in each other, pick this one up. Highly recommended.

I received a complimentary ARC of this book from Graydon House through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

The story, centered on Lilah Goodluck, unfolds after she rescues a witch and is left with five eerie predictions, including a doomed romance with a royal named Alistair Lennox and her own untimely death. The blend of humor and romance against an ominous prophecy was captivating. As the predictions materialize, Lilah's life becomes a whirlwind of emotions and unexpected adventures, especially when she meets Alistair. Their evolving relationship, amidst challenges and public scrutiny, added depth to the story. The novel masterfully mixes whimsy with a poignant exploration of fate and love, making it a compelling read that kept me engaged until the end.
