🍀ARC REVIEW🍀

perfect St Patricks Day read! if you are looking for a good fluff book look no further.this was such a cute story read it in a couple of hours!
The author created really good characters that were relatable and even threw in a magical element to this romance story. Theres even some spice at the end which i wasnt hone expecting so that was a nice finish!
i kinda wish there was a little more but overall i really enjoyed it!

THANK YOU NetGalley for the free book for an honest review!!

This was a short and easy read. Perfect for when you're craving something light and cute or when you're in between books. Multiple perspectives are always great too.

I really enjoyed the magical aspect of the story and wished that it was developed a little more. Maybe because it's my first St. Patrick's day story, leprechaun magic felt unique and I loved everything that happened because of it.

Having said that, the magic created a few scenes/dialogues that felt forced to me. For example, Holly should have been aware of what was happening once she found out Liam remembered because she is familiar with her magic. Instead she seemed completely oblivious. I also would have preferred to see Holly freak out over her magic not working right away instead of later in the book.

Liam's dilemma was a good part of the story too. It didn't get fully fleshed out and ended up being more gimmicky which was a shame. Also I loved the sisterly scenes. I adored that Holly was the youngest out of the four. Their dynamic was great. Only if this was a longer book! I feel like there is so much left to be explored.

With a super cute cover, this book has great timing for not only Valentine's day, but also Saint Patrick's Day, and includes a mix of the two holidays in a cute little romance story. Though there is a lot of ads in the beginning of the book, it was cute enough to hook me from the beginning.

Holly, a leprechaun in the flesh, powers and all, is out flirting at the bar on the only night her magic works a year; Saint Patrick's Day. Her game is that she can trade a secret for a wish, but she always has the choice to decline it after being told the secret if it's not good enough, for instance. Her sister, however, always throws things for a spin, and tonight is no exception.

This is when Liam comes into the picture. He just wants a night off from his crazy bet he made with his brothers. Find a wife by the end of the year, or he loses his fortune to them. Though he was confident at the beginning, finding a woman he likes enough to wife up is proving to be a lot harder than he thought, and it's stressing him out big time.

That is, until he finds Holly, and when she grants his wish of spending the night with her, no pressure. Holly finds that she really likes him, like really likes him, and he feels the same. But Holly is terrified of love. Her mother had always told her the only way to get rid of her powers for good, is to marry for love. How will she know for sure?

This book is short and steamy, and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters. Though there is graphic sex scenes, they are also very short, and the story tells a lot more than you'd think for such a short book. I loved the characters, especially Liam for being so open and honest about his feelings. That's not something you always see today, guys being in touch with their feelings like that. Overall, I really liked this book, and I would absolutely check out another book by the author. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a new book to get into that isn't in a series or anything, just a standalone.

Lucky in Love is a cute read that will appeal to fans of contemporary romance. It's a story that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking, leaving readers with much to love long after the final page is turned. Whether you're a seasoned romance reader or new to the genre, this novel is sure to captivate your heart and mind.

I would like to thank Netgalley, BooksGoSocial and the author for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Just lost interest.

I abandoned the book (novella? It's only 100 pages) halfway through. The plot is inconsistent, the obstacles made up, the writing is all over the place. The book constantly makes you feel like you are reading the fourth installment in a series and you're supposed to know all these characters already, without filling you in on what they do or what is their relationship. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This was a cute novella just in time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Holly is a real life (half) leprechaun who reconnects with her college crush. Their connection should be erased once Holly grants Liam’s wish, but for some reason it remains.

The book was light and fluffy and a perfect palate cleanser between books. As with most novellas, I found the storyline to be a little rushed BUT it did not impact the character development.

I would recommend this magical St. Patrick’s Day read!

This book had an interesting premise, but unfortunately, it fell flat in execution. While I usually enjoy light, whimsical romances, this one felt underdeveloped, rushed, and lacking in emotional depth. It wasn’t that horrible, but it also wasn’t engaging enough to leave any lasting impression.

Liam’s bet was set up as an important conflict, yet there was no urgency behind it. He put something incredibly valuable on the line, but there was no explanation as to how the bet even came to be. Was it made in a drunken haze? Was there a deeper reason for it? His brothers supposedly sabotaged his chances, yet we never actually meet them or understand their motivations. It was difficult to care about the stakes when the story failed to establish them properly.

Holly’s secrecy regarding her true nature as a leprechaun was another frustrating aspect. Liam had every right to know the truth, yet she kept it from him for no clear reason. Even when she started accepting their connection, she avoided explaining what it actually meant. Instead of feeling like a real emotional struggle, it came across as forced conflict that could have been easily resolved with honest communication.

The romance itself was lacking in chemistry. Liam and Holly had very little meaningful interaction, making it hard to believe in their connection. The story frequently told us they had a bond, but it never truly showed us why they were drawn to each other. Moments that should have been filled with tension or emotion were instead glossed over, making their relationship feel superficial rather than compelling.

Beyond the romance, the world-building felt thin. There were vague hints about Holly’s family history, her father’s reputation, and the dynamics between Liam and his brothers, but none of these aspects were explored in depth. Instead of adding richness to the story, they felt like unfinished ideas that never went anywhere.

Overall, this book had potential but didn’t take the time to develop its characters, relationships, or plot in a satisfying way. It was a quick read, but one that ultimately felt incomplete. While some might enjoy it as a light, low-stakes romance, it didn’t work for me. That's why I'm giving it 1.5 ⭐.

This is the perfect short and sweet read for st Patrick’s day. Holly is a leprechaun. So once a year since she was seventeen she gets to ask for secrets and grant wishes. They never remember her once the game is gone. But this time it’s different. She doesn’t want him to forget her and it’s just her luck because the day after he shows up asking for another chance to hang out.

I love the plot of this book and I would love to read about her sisters and their powers.

A cute novella to dig you out of a reading slump or cleanse your palette in-between mythical worlds or heavy reads.

Holly is a real life leprechaun who stays away from love because she not sure what the consequences of finding love will be. Liam has not forgotten about Holly since college - always thinking of her as the one who got away. Lucky in Love is the story of their magical night together, and what happens when the magic wears away and reality sinks in.

Thank you NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and Bailey B. for allowing me to read this story in exchange for my honest opinion.

Okay, this book had me in a chokehold. Holly Flynn is not your average rom-com lead—she’s a literal leprechaun with a wish-granting gig that comes with a major catch: once she grants a wish, the person forgets everything about her. So when a random (but insanely hot) guy wishes for one unforgettable night, she’s ready for the usual poof, bye-bye routine—except he remembers. Like, full-on, "Hey, remember me?" at her doorstep a week later. UM, EXCUSE ME?! What follows is a swoony, high-stakes, WTF is happening kind of romance that had me flipping pages like my life depended on it. Holly is such a fun, chaotic mess, and the mystery of why this guy is different keeps things spicy. If you love magical romance with a sprinkle of angst and a whole lot of tension, Lucky in Love is an instant add-to-TBR.

What a cute rom-com story just in time for St. Patrick's Day festivities to start! Second chance romance for a leprechaun gal and a cinnamon roll MMC!

Holly and Liam just had a connection from the get go that was meant to be erased but for some odd reason, he keeps coming back to her. (So he definitely falls first!) Love his Dad jokes, his longing for Holly... just absolutely adorable. Holly, just not used to something permanent, is torn on her feelings for Liam...

It was a short fluff read in between books, however there were just important parts of the books that had be very confused and left unanswered. Maybe there's a second book?! Even for Holly's sister's Dahlia and River?! The book was cute... I just felt like it missed a lot of depth.

What a fun read! A leprechaun who can grant wishes is faced with her own wish: to find her soul mate and have her magic fade away for a normal life
A man who wants to be taken seriously by his brothers and put his bar on the line for a bet.

Will these two be able to help each other? Is it luck? Or is it love?

Thank you to Bailey B. and Net Galley for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a great cute and fluffy novella. The perfect escape from reality I needed to read today! It's a low-conflict romcom about a half-leprechaun girl and her former crush reconnecting. The only negatives I had for this book is that I wanted more! I would have loved more details about the backstory of Holly and Liam in college, and more details about Holly's mom and sisters.

The spice level was pretty low, which you'd expect for a short novella like this.

Overall, I gave this one 4 stars, and would totally recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy St. Patrick's Day themed quick read.


I plan on posting a similar review on instagram on release day!

“So, to the readers seeking that breath of fresh air, this one is for you.”

The author said that she wrote this as just a light and fun story to write about admist the pressure and i can see that! Honestly needed this break from all the uni stress i’m going through right now 😵‍💫

I was hooked from the description like a girl who is able to grant wishes on saint patrick’s day but once their wish is granted, they forget her until this one guy remembers her still? LIKE I’M SOLD!
The only thing bugging me a bit is how they used to know each other or the bet and i feel that it wasn’t expanded as much (i understand it’s a novella so it’s a short read) and honestly the knowing about each other thing didn’t really matter to the plot

I still can’t wrap my head around the bet like it didn’t feel like it was that important or the worst thing in the world. In the end, I just couldn’t really understand how it came up to be literally the whole thing was confusing for me

But anyways! They are so so so so cute and i love the pace of this novella, I needed to clear my head and relax so this was nice

A cute low-stakes novella that puts a twist on St. Patrick’s Day and Leprechauns. It was more sweet than spicy, with only two short scenes that are easy to skip over if that isn’t your thing.

I adored this take on soulmates and the characters, who felt like they had so much personality.

I’m hoping that Holly’s other siblings get their own stories and I will be reading them if they do!

I could not finish this book. It wasn’t bad but the storyline did not make any sense to me and I was just really confused on what was happening. I love romance books and especially themed ones but this one was not up my alley at all.

What a cute and fun St. Patrick’s themed romance! The plot and character development was great and I love a good happy ending. The only things I wish the author would have expanded on was the prior relationship of Liam and Holly and more about the backstory with the brothers and the bet because we are left not really knowing what happened with that. I enjoyed that the spice only really happened at the end so the reader can get into the development of the relationship without being distracted by the spice. I also love the magical twist to this story. I can’t wait to see if the author makes this a series with stories about the other sisters. This was my first time reading this author but I will definitely be checking out her other books

2,5/5

It wasn't horrible but it was boring and felt unfinished, good thing it was so short.

Liam's bet was supposed to be important but I didn't feel any urgency from his to win it. Also we don't know how the bet came to be: were they all drunk or something? He threw the deeds for his favourite place of Earth and yet still he was just fine losing it? His brothers apparently sabotaged his efforts but we're never met them so idk if they dicks just because or was there something more sinister going on.

I hated that Holly never told Liam about her being a leprechaun. He deserved to know, damnit. He deserved to know what she was, what her magic was, even if she was going to lose it, he deserved to know. I hated that she lied to him and didn't seem to care whether or not he should know. Even when she said she accepted their bond he still asked what did she meant and she just brushed him off.

You don't do that. Tell him, damnit.

The whole book felt rushed and unfinished. The story was cute but was expecting more - I didn't really care about the characters because the whole book felt incomplete. I couldn't connect with Holly being afraid of te bond - why would she? She hated that magic, It felt more like a curse and when she suddenly got an option to accept a soulmate bond to get rid of the magic she ran??? Make it make sense.

It didn't feel like there were any stakes. It's was just rushed and the plot and characters were very superficial. We don't know anything about Liam's brothers or what Holly's father did that he was considered the worst?? I've no idea. It was all empty underneath. All surface, no filling.

Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This was such a fun quick read! Holly is a Leprechaun, who can grant wishes on St Patrick's day in exchange for secrets. Person she grants the wish forgets her after she fulfills them. Liam wishes for night with her.
But for some reason he doesn't forgets her after. Could it be real love? You should read the book to find out!
