I love the drama and tension that comes with a hate to love and second chance romance, and it’s not one that I’m exposed to often reading so much YA, where most of the characters are in their mid to late teens and haven’t had time to cultivate super meaningful exes yet. The Good Luck Charm has a second chance romance at its center, following Lilah, a nurse in her mid twenties who is confronted with the return of a very significant ex several years after their traumatic break up. Two days after finishing and I still can’t stop thinking about it, despite not knowing a single thing about hockey or having ever really read this genre of romance novel before. You know when you never knew you needed something in your life, and then once you’ve experienced it you don’t know how you managed to live without it? Well that’s pretty much where I’m at with hockey player centered romances, thanks to The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting.

But Ethan's already lost her once, and even if it costs him his career, he'll do anything to keep from losing her again. Just when Lilah might finally be ready to let him in, though, she finds out their reunion has nothing to do with her and everything to do with his game. And that includes having Lilah by his side. He might think they can pick up just where they left off, but she's no longer that same girl and never wants to be again.Įthan Kane wants his glory days back. Lilah isn't sure what hurt worse: the day Ethan left her to focus on his hockey career, or the day he came back eight years later. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
