This book was just so much fun! I would describe it as a perfect lighthearted romance that is both sweet and playful! Eloise’s character reminds me of Jess from New Girl -- a little goofy but in the absolute best way possible and Gray is lovable despite his “[rudeness] while processing.” The chemistry between them is fantastic and made the story so fun to read!
My Lucky Charm is the second book in the Holidays with Hart series by Coutney Walsh and although I am now out of order I will absolutely be going back to read My Phony Valentine! What could be better than another sweet hockey romance!!!
For the most part, this was a delightful cute book.
I didn't much care for the style of writing, but there were still some things that I enjoyed and laughed out loud at.
Some people you can't change. Or can you?
When I came across Grayson Hawk, I thought he was all of those things that were described about him. Just wow!
Reminds me of my mother in law.
This book was so much cute! It’s book two but I believe it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
This book starts with Eloise kissing a stranger in a bar on New Year’s Eve. A couple weeks later, she is hired to be an assistant to the new recently traded star hockey player, Gray. Gray happens to be the stranger from the bar.
Eloise is the little Hart sister. She’s a positive ray of sunshine. She doesn’t have big career aspirations. She just wants a happy life with a happy family. She’s been through it though. She’s had some terrible relationships in the past and she’s finding that maybe she trusts people with her heart a little too much.
Gray is the opposite. A man of so very little words. Closed off to the max. The grumpiest of grumps. Trust no one. He was just traded to a new team so he’s in a new town with no family or friends and he’s refusing to even try to make an effort to connect with anyone.
I think my favorite thing about both books in this series are the way the female characters are written. I loved Poppy in the first one and I loved Eloise in this. Eloise is the kind of person that makes everyone feel a little more comfortable when you’re in the room with them. She’s incredibly genuine. She talks. A lot. More importantly though, she listens. She knows just what everyone around her needs to be happy. I really really liked her.
Gray was harder to like. At first. There’s a part in this book where he sends the thumbs up response in a text exchange with Eloise, not once but twice! That is the equivalent to texting ‘K’. If I was Eloise I would have been ready to throw hands just for that. Something happens later in the book though that changes everything. You learn a lot about his past and you understand him more. I really liked him by the end. He was terrible with words but better with actions. And like Eloise, he listens and pays attention.
This book was a lot of fun! It will make you smile and feel all gooey inside. What more could you ask for in a romcom book?! It’s a slow burn and I love it! Eloise and Gray are perfect for each other.
I highly recommend if you like a closed door, low angst romcom with a dose of family drama.
Thank you NetGalley, Courtney Marsh, and SweetHaven Press for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving this review.
Eloise has a new job as assistant to the reluctant Gray. Will be let her in? Can't wait for the next books in this series.
WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND HOCKEY ROMANCES? It’s like drugs, I swear. This was a DELIGHTFUL grumpy/sunshine romance. I devoured this book in one sitting, and I loved every second. Not spicy at all, but still so sweet. If you love Sarah Adams books, you will adore this. (It’s nice to have a non spicy hockey romance.)
Eloise and Gray are fantastic main characters. Total opposite ends of the spectrum, but getting to know the both of them and watch them grow, beautiful experience.
It’s a sweet hockey romance I would 100% read again.
One of my favourite types of romance books are sports romances and this book did not disappoint. This book had me smiling from start to finish and I honestly could not put it down. I read My Lucky Charm in one sitting as I was engaged in the story as it was different to books I have read before. I love a good Grumpy X Sunshine romance and i felt like it was done really well in this book. Gray is your typical grump but once you get to know him you will absolutely fall in love with his character and Eloise is the definition of a sunshine character. The two characters fit so well with each other. This is the first time reading a book by this author and I loved every second of it. If you are into romance books that make you laugh out loud and are also wholesome then this book is definitely for you!!! 5 stars !
