Liam and holly are extremely adorable as a couple. I love he depth they share and at the same time the growth in holly's character is remarkable 💖💖💖 the dad jokes where cute and definitely I am 'lucky' to get this ARC read!
Thank you for this wonderful read 😁

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.

Cute short holiday read. Gets your in the st Patrick’s day spirit, easy book to hop into and doesn’t require anything to enjoy it. Just what I was looking for

Rounded up to a 4. Super cute and fluffy but the story didn’t quite hold me. Would have liked a bit more character building. It’s a fun St. Patrick’s Day read

Thank you so much to Bailey Black and BooksGoSocial for the eARC of this. This was such a cute fun short read for around St. Patty's day. Definitely check this one out.

This was a cute and sweet novella. Holly is a leprechaun who grants wishes on St. Patrick's Day with the caveat that the wish receiver won't remember her later. She reconnects with Liam, a friend from college, with whom she shares a wonderful night. The twist? He remembers her after and pursues her. I liked this as a novella, I think it was tight and to the point.

First time reading this author. Perfect quick read on a dreary wet day the week before St. Paddy’s Day. Fun plot. Thanks NetGalley for the advance copy. #LuckyinLove #NetGalley

If you want a quick and easy read book where he falls first and she's stopping herself to actually fall for him, and you like magic then meet Liam & Holly.💚
This is a Saint Patrick's day themed romance book, Where the FMC was a leprechaun and she grants every wishes every Saint Patrick's day.🍀
Holly is so relatable (when you're a homebody lol) and I like how she really put her guard up but also lowkey letting herself enjoy Liam's company (🤭). Liam is such a sweetheart, love that he literally tell jokes to Holly. (😆)
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book.

Good concept, not so good execution

The magic elements were a fun thought and I think this had potential that it ultimately didn’t live up to. I understand being a short story, you don’t have ton of time to explain things, but there’s too many of those instances to overlook. There’s hints to situations such as her family dynamic and the bet but it’s never explained in the slightest. It was hard to connect to the story or care for the relationship. The characters were very one note and ultimately made the story fall super flat. I also noticed a good amount of editing and conversation continuity errors.

It's a fun and lovely short story about Holly the leprechaun. It has a magical hint and its perfect if you love a story from 2 points of view.

Just as the author describes it: a fluff read. I needed a short and cute story, and this delivered.
Holly's a leprechaun who grants wishes every St. Patrick's Day, and after granting each wish, the person forgets her. Liam owns a bar and must marry someone within three months to keep it—that's all we need to know about them.
This is the classic "guy falls first" trope, and it warmed my heart deeply. Their chemistry shines through the words. Things take an "unexpected" turn when Holly refuses to keep seeing Liam while the bet's still going. A cliché would have them marry right away, but this chase hits the right spot and makes the book more enjoyable—I love unexpected turns just as much as I love a good cliché.
This was a good, light read with just the right amount of spice. After reading it, I'll certainly check out more of Bailey's books.

A fun short read with a bit of magic, the story of Holly the leprechaun. I liked the setting and how it was told from both points of view.

daww this was super cute! short and simple, a lovely magic system, and - as the author describes - a perfect fluff romance for all the feel-good vibes. Liam is such a sweetheart, and Holly is just so real and understandable (especially the staying at home part BAHAH). the side characters were also so loveable and supportable - it was just positivity and feel good all around. ofc this is a much shorter book, so you're not about to get like deep meanings and complexity - but this delivered what it had to and that's enough for me! the concept was fun, the world was cute, I eat up the soul mates trope every time, and while Patrick's day is an interesting choice, it's something quirky hehe- I'd love to see similar books for the other sisters especially to go more into depth on the magic system (speaking of which, I love me a syster dynamic). Anyway, if you're looking for a cute, quick romance read, this is the one for you

thank you to NetGalley and Bailey Black for a copy of this book!!

This book was really hard for me to get into. I wanted to love it - the description sounded right up my alley, but it just didn’t grab me when I sat down to read it.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!! This is the cutest short book I’ve ever read this is like hallmark but better. It’s close door romance until the end but doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable. This will be my first 6 star read for the year.

Thank you to Bailey Books for a chance to read an arc this book! 🖤
2⭐️ fun concept not so fun execution | digital

Overall Thoughts 💭:
Holly is a leprechaun with able to grant a wish in exchange for a secret. Liam is a man in a sibling rivalry where he must find a wife or lose his business. These characters had some emotion and depth to them and I liked their banter and mutual pining for each other but their romance didn't grip me.

Pretty cute romance!

I loved the magical aspect of this book, that was definitely fun to read about, though it felt a little bit underdeveloped. That was actually a theme throughout the book, the plot, background, and characters all felt a bit underdeveloped. This definitely has such promise, and overall its cute and enjoyable, but if the author would have gone more in depth, this could have been great. Regardless, really enjoyable and a good platte cleanser.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

Lucky in Love by Bailey Black was a sweet and heartfelt romance that blended small-town charm, second chances, and a touch of fate. The story follows Ivy, who has always been unlucky in love, and when she returns to her hometown, she’s not expecting much to change. But then she crosses paths with Luke, her childhood crush turned successful businessman, and suddenly, luck seems to be on her side—at least in love.

I really enjoyed Ivy as a protagonist—she was relatable, with just the right mix of vulnerability and strength. Luke was the perfect balance of swoon-worthy and emotionally guarded, making their slow-burn romance all the more satisfying. The small-town setting added warmth and familiarity, making it easy to get lost in their world. The chemistry between Ivy and Luke was engaging, and I liked how their relationship developed organically rather than feeling rushed.

Overall, Lucky in Love was a cozy, feel-good read with just enough depth to make it emotionally satisfying. Perfect for those who enjoy a comforting romance with lovable characters and a bit of fate working its magic.
