Lucky Charm is a sweet story about two old friends, fake dating and overcoming family hurt. There is so much to like about this book and the characters. Each of them on their own are strong but together they are better. I enjoyed reading this and hope to read more by Anne-Marie Meyer in the future.

thank you NetGalley for an ARC of Lucky Charm by Anne-Marie Meyer

While I did enjoy getting to know the characters as well as the story. It did not grab my attention and hold it.
After reading about half of the book I unfortunately decided to not finish this book.

I do however look forward to reading more books by Anne-Marie Meyer.

Love a slow burn romance book, however I wish there was more character development instead of it just bam and rushed. It was a good romance book overall. This book was basically Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship. They started off with bad blood in the beginning when her parents blamed him from stealing a scholarship from her brother about football and she was so in love with him in the past and now and she goes to fake date him as a plan and he agrees which shocked her! This was an easy fast read. It was a cute book overall, but it was rushed at the end in my opinion but i think it hit the mark for a holiday book. Thanks for the Arc overall for this romance book!

This story is a cute little RomCom. Exactly the kind of story I like to read as a palate cleanser from heavier fantasy stories. I love a good slow burn and enemies to lovers situation. Prepare yourself to maybe get frustrated with a miscommunication or misunderstanding trope..but that could be just me. All in all, I really enjoyed this sweet instead of spicy love story! And the dedication page… love it!

Travis and Taylor step aside for Stone and Emerson! This is such a cute romance and is a quick read. I enjoyed the backstory between the main characters and how it evolved throughout their adulthood.

I was a bit sceptical when I read that the book was inspired by Trayvis but oh boy, LUCKY CHARM was lovely!

The dual POV was perfectly done in this book - it provided perfect insight into both characters. I liked how both characters reflected on their lives and made the best decisions they could.

Emerson was so drawn to Stone - you could feel the connection through the pages. And Stone - he was also absolutely gone for our girl - it was lovely to read all the little things he did to make her life better and bring some luck into her life.

READ FOR:
Brother's best friend
Childhood friends to lovers
Second chance romance
Fake dating

Thanks to NetGalley and Sweet Escape Publishing for the ARC! Opinions are my own

This was such a good story I could not put this book down. It felt like I was right there with the characters in the story. I liked how it switched point of view. I loved the storyline as well as the touch of adult sexual tension. I would very much like to read the additional books that were mentioned With a QR code at the end of this book.

Before I begin, I would like to thank Anne-Marie Meyer for giving me an ARC of her upcoming book, Lucky Charm, which will be available on April 23rd, 2024.

Emerson wants to become a professional singer and is thrilled when her best friend finds her a place to live in the center of Nashville, Tennessee. However, her joy turns into a bit of confusion when she discovers famous NFL receiver Stone Walker, her brother’s ex-best friend, and now her neighbor. When Emerson’s best friend has an idea to fake date Stone to get more publicity, Emerson can’t believe that he agrees. But as they start spending more time together, she wonders if it would’ve been better if she kept her distance, or if she could have in the first place.

This book was cute. I loved having different perspectives from both Emerson and Stone. I related to Emerson a lot, but I also understood the reason why any sort of relationship, friendship or otherwise, would be complicated between her and Stone. Both main characters are talented, and I thought Tilly was a bit impulsive, but she meant well. There were quite a few secrets in this book, and the plot twist at the end was definitely a surprise. The romance was sweet, and I loved how both of the main characters reflected on their feelings and made the best decisions they could to move forward with their lives.

I am a fan of this author. I follow her page on FB and have subscribed to her email updates. Her books are about love and strong women. She tells the stories of the couples in a beautiful way. You want them to fall in love. You root for them and cry for them. Meyer's romantic story telling is wonderfully done...and in this book, Lucky Charm...she has done a wonderful job at keeping the story going with surprises and details you don't expect. It was a good wholesome live story that I needed at this moment

The Lucky Charm is a story about Emerson, a starting out singer and Stone, an NFL player. They know each other since childhood, Emerson had a crush on Stone, her brother’s best friend.
Now, many years after no contact she moves into an apartment across from Stone. They cross paths and they are really awkward. Then at the idea of her best friend they pretend to date so that Emerson gets more recognition for her singing.
They eventually see that they love each other for real and get together.

Really cute, childhood friends to lovers. brother’s best friend romance.

4/5 ⭐️

You always hear about brothers best friend, but brothers EX-best friend is a trope I never knew I needed. It just adds a whole new level! I loved the sweetness mixed with the frustration of mutual pining and honestly the fake dating was the cherry on top. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce who?

If you are looking for a book that somewhat resembles the iconic Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship, this is the one! Emerson, the fmc, is an up and coming singer who is a barista during the day and sings throughout the bars in Nashville that she can get gigs at. Stone, the mc, is an NFL player that only confides himself to playing football, eating, and sleep. Well, that is until his ex-best friend’s little sister moves into the apartment across from his. Especially, when her manager asks if he’s okay with fake dating her. This book really had me hooked from the start and it only took me a few hours to get through. I thoroughly enjoyed Stone’s quiet love that he has for Emerson, It was actually so cute how he would just admire her from afar. I was actually screaming when I was approved for this arc through Netgalley and I am so so grateful that I got to read this. This review has already been posted to my blog and goodreads, which is linked on the blog!

I got the opportunity to ARC this book and let me tell you my heart is soaring!! This is a keep your desires locked away and keep your distance romance. Emerson and Stone are your main characters who start a connection in high school and years later are pushing away their desires to prevent their heartbreak all over again. Jump into this book and find out how or if Emerson and Stone find their happily ever after!
P.S. there’s even a spicy bonus scene ;-)

Anne-Marie has once again wrote a book I couldn't put down! I read the book in one go. I do wish the book was a little longer so we could see their relationship develop a little more (I love a slow burn) and have a resolution with her family (good or bad). Hopefully we'll get to see more if she turns it into a series.

Definitely a great easy read!

Beautifully written! I couldn't put the book down! I adore how Anne-Marie has the ability to get the reader to become so engaged in Stone & Emerson! I did not want the book to end. I wanted MORE!

Arc reading
Emerson and Stone
Fake dating
They were friends and then had a falling out due to parents upset with the outcome of a football scholarship. Now he is a football pro and she is a struggling singer songwriter. As she just happens to move in next to Stone Then turn into a fake relationship. The story felt like it was all over the place.
The miscommunication between Emerson and her parent that they have been lying about what happen when they were younger. The story needed more it felt rush but overall it was a sweet.
Thank you to NetGalley and Sweet Escape Publishing for the ARC of this one in exchange for a review

Stone and Emerson are a cautionary tale! Do not fall for the daughter of the family who hates you is what runs through Stones mine as he fled his hometown. When fate brings them together again Stone isn’t so sure he can heed the warning anymore!

Stone now has everything he’s always wanted but the one thing missing just moved in across the hall and when Emerson needs his help the yes from his mouth is immediate!

Lucky Charm is such a heartwarming story and I loved the dynamic between these two! They both had a lot to make up for and needed to face answers and truths they weren’t ready for but for the next step in life to happen they had to face it all head on!

Stone was so sweet and truly had a heart of gold. He was definitely not a playboy. Emerson was a soft spoken woman who had so much to say she just needed the chance! Very beautiful story about forgiveness and forever!

Lucky charm was a cute enemies to lovers story about Emerson and Stone. They were friends and then had a falling out due to parents upset with the outcome of a football scholarship.
To me this book was very predictable, but a cute read. It isn’t long and didn’t take me long to read. I did enjoy reading it, but there were some things that just missed the mark for me. Parts of it just didn’t seem realistic I guess it the best way I can put it.
Overall I would recommend reading it as it is a cute story and being losely based off Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, I can see people enjoying it for that reason alone ♥️

Lucky Charm is about former friends turned acquaintances that started a fake relationship. Stone and Emmerson have known each other for most of their lives but have a falling out when the story first begins. It is very sweet novel. The story was a little rushed at times.

Lucky Charm is a sweet enemies to lovers, fake romance trope more suitable for YA readers. An easy read but no great drama and lacking in depth so I did find myself skipping some pages.
There was no great revelation or even discussion of what had happened to estrange the main characters and the fake romance aspect didn’t come until well into the book. It needed more emotion, it was frustrating that this story could of been really good but chances were missed where story line could of been developed more.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.
