Okay this was definitely not on my bingo card. I am someone who LOVES a long romance book, so for me to actually love a novella is actually insane but like this was perfect in my opinion.
The story follows Holly and she is a leprechaun, bizarre right?
But once a year on st. Patrick's Day she gets the ability to grant people one wish, there is a catch though. Everyone who she grants a wish to, they forget her instantly. Until she comes across Liam and he remembers her. Atter their incredible night together he somehow remembers her and comes knocking on her door a week later. How can he remember her when her magic has never allowed someone to remember her?
I ate this book up! It was such a super cute, quick and spicyyyy rom com. Loved every second of it and if you are looking for a cute and quick fun read. This is definitely it!

A cute novella. I started reading this around Saint Patrick’s day so it felt on theme. The magic element was unique and interesting. His bet with his brothers was a nice addition.

I didn’t like that she concealed “accepting their bond” from him. I feel like it should have been a conversation and he accepted too even though the Magic pulled them together. There was no mention of if she still kept it from him in the end either…

Holly is a leprechaun who grants wishes, with just one catch- her victim forgets everything before their wish. Then one day Holly meets a handsome stranger, Liam, and she doesn’t want him to forget her. What a fun cute novella! Perfect on brand holiday read that I don’t usually see. Bonus for it being a quick read at 132 pages.

Tropes:
☘️ second chance
☘️ friends to lovers
☘️ spice
☘️ dual POV

I was genuinely excited about Lucky in Love—a wish-granting leprechaun, family drama, and a fake marriage? It sounded like the perfect blend of whimsy and romance. However, the story didn't quite meet my expectations. The romance felt hurried, lacking the chemistry and development needed to make it compelling. While there were charming magical moments, the overall narrative needed more depth and backstory to fully engage me.

I liked the idea of Holly as a leprechaun and the memory-erasing magic, but the story didn’t dig deep enough into the world or the characters. The romance felt rushed and lacked chemistry, and some plot points—like the bet—were introduced and then forgotten. It’s a cute holiday read, but it needed more development to really land.

It’s a cute story. I didn’t understand the pacing and some character decisions, but the magic system was cool and I would love to know more about the sisters.

I was intrigued by the premise of Lucky in Love, but the story leaned too much on surface-level vibes without enough backstory or depth to fully draw me in.

The plot follows Holly, a leprechaun who grants wishes, and Liam, a man caught in a family feud that forces him to find a wife or lose his business. Sounds like romcom gold, right? Except it felt rushed, underdeveloped, and lacked the emotional depth needed to make the romance compelling.

Did I completely hate it? No. It had some quirky moments. But the romance itself? Practically nonexistent. The leap from physical attraction to soulmate-level devotion happened way too fast. I wanted tension and build-up, something to make me believe in their connection. Instead, it just sort of happened. A little more character development and clearer motivations could have grounded their relationship in something more engaging and believable.

And then there’s Liam’s whole high-stakes family drama. We’re told it’s a big deal, but there’s barely any context for how it came to be. We don’t even meet his so-called villainous brothers, so how am I supposed to care?

Overall, while there were a few fun moments, the story needed more depth to make the romance feel real and the stakes feel meaningful.

What a unique and cute premise! I loved the leprechaun spin and it was well-written. Adorable read, perfect for the spring.

I didn't know how a rom com would go with a leprechaun as the hero would go. I did think it would be chaotic, and I was right it was chaotic but it was also fun.

This was a cute! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
This is definitely a cute one to read around St. Patrick’s Day.

Holly is a leprechaun that grants wishes on St. Patrick's Day but in return clears memories. In particular, memories of her ever existing. It has never been an issue in year's past until the year she meets Liam. The only person she's ever wanted her magic to not work on. A week later when Liam knocks on her door, she's shocked to find out that maybe her magic is failing her or is it really?

What a perfect novella to read on St. Patrick's Day! It was just what I was in the mood for surrounding the holiday. A quick read with a little magic and romance.

Thank you to Net Galley for this e-ARC!

Such a fun and cute quick holiday based novella. It's light, it's fun - there's some second chance romance happening. The romance fell a bit flat, but I did enjoy the banter!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

Cute premise but a little instalovet for me.... it was too rushed and forced... I didn't get the cemetery from the couple.

I really liked the concept of this book but the cons outwayed the pros for me. I liked Holly and the magical aspect of her and her sisters. I also liked Liam, I just didn’t like them together. I didn’t feel the chemistry between them as much as it was built up to be in their own heads. Also, the no mention of magic to him at all just added to them not working for me. The bet put me off completely, it felt like a plot point that got forgotten.

Short and fun read! Rom-com with some fantastical elements interwoven. There was also a bit of spice, but enough to overwhelm the story. I loved the characters, including the side characters. Although some of it was silly, it was still super cute!

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for a copy of this e-book.

Lucky in Love is a quick little Saint Patrick's Day romance, it isn't phenomenal but if you want something easy and fast this could be for you.

Holly is a leprechaun that can grant wishes, however, the person in question forfeits the memory of what went on before the wish and her, Holly.
A stranger requests a wish from Holly and the chemistry between them both is electric, Holly is devasted that he will forget her after giving him his wish. But he knocks on her door a week later .... Holly is surprised and taken aback, how can that be, he is supposed to forget her and everything before the wish.
I really got invested in this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read and review this book..Honestly, I thought this was really cute and perfect for the season but I wished things were more flushed out as far as the male character. Because of these points, I have to give this a 3 out of 5 stars.
