Lucky In Love…
Such a cute quick read! I really enjoyed this book. This was my first book by Bailey Black & I enjoyed the writing style! Well done!

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

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.

Somewhere between a novella and a short story, Lucky in Love is the perfect palette cleanser of a sweet holiday romance. Leprechaun Holly can grant wishes in exchange for secrets, but only on St Patrick's Day. When she runs into old college crush, Liam, Holly has to consider what a leprechaun's to do when someone seems more interested in her than the wishes she can grant.

I'm always a little picky about St Patrick's Day reading since my husband is from Ireland (and yes, he has STRONG opinions on green beer), but this story about a leprechaun looking to find herself was a pure joy. I do wish we had gotten to spend more time on a subplot about Liam's family pushing him towards marriage to understand his complex relationships - especially since we really got to see Holly's connection with her sisters, but this fun read is perfect for anyone looking to live in a kind fantasy world for Paddy's Day.

I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys April Asher's books.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Read if you like:
☘️ second chance
☘️ friends to lovers
☘️ short and spicy
☘️ dual POV

This was such a fun, quick read!! Holly is a leprechaun who grants wishes, with just one catch… her “victim” forgets everything before their wish! Until she meets a handsome stranger, and she doesn’t want him to forget her. A week later he knocks on her door and remembers everything! 🤯
I absolutely loved the little graphic at the top of every chapter!!! It was so cute and it really adds to the pages and pages of boring black text 😁
I love a dual point-of-view rom-com! I love seeing both sides falling for each other and having to waaaaaait and wait for them to both realize it 🤪
I loved the concept 🤪 and all the scenery (and drinking 🤪🤪) made this a perfect St Patrick’s Day read. At just over 100 pages it is a very quick read.
Thank you so much to Bailey Black and BooksGoSocial for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review 💕

A cute and fun little Saint Patrick’s Day romance. It was super quick to get through and felt like the perfect little festive romance for St. Patrick’s Day. Loved both the main characters and the romance was well paced and enjoyable.

Cute and fluffy short read - this is perfect for a St. Patrick's Day read! I would've enjoyed the story more if it were longer due to some things mentioned but overall decent read.
