Get Lucky is not a paranormal romance. It is anything, but. It is set in modern day America and is part of Lorie O'Claire's Bounty Hunters series. It is the second book in the series, the first being Play Dirty.
I normally don't read this type of romance, but I was in the mood for something a little different. So, I took a chance.
I loved it!
O'Claire delivers the typical romance novel formula in a very sexy way. I fell in love with Marc King immediately. Who doesn't love a hot guy who knows what he wants? A guy with a bad boy edge, but is a nice guy at the same time? C'mon, we all want Mr. Dangerous, but we don't want him to be an asshole. And Mr. King is the bad boy du jour.
Then we have the lady. London is nice, sweet, hot and running from her childhood. She loses herself in her work, isolates her self from connections to others while maintaining a heart of gold. She isn't the bitter bitch you want to slap down. She's the girl you identify with who happens to be hot, better than LA hot because she's a brunette not a bottle blonde.
As this is book two, it's a continuation from Play Dirty which focuses on papa King, Greg. He's a retired cop turned bounty hunter who gets caught up in a “game”. The “game” involves the super rich kidnapping the best of the best for an all out secret war. Greg and wife get dragged in in book one. They think they are out of it, but now they are dragged back in with sons in tow. They are a side note in the story, but needed for the whole concept of the story line.
What I like best about this book is the use of cock, pussy, wet, thrust, balls, and ….well, the modern concept that sex is fucking fun and can be edgy and doesn't have to drip with saccharin terminology. It also keeps you interested beyond the hot sex scenes; you really care about the characters and wonder what's going to happen next. Are they going to make it? Is Marc going to die? Will they ever see each other again? Okay you know the answers, but O'Claire writes well enough to give you a hint of doubt.
So, I bought book one and I'm ready for book two. Read it. It's fun.
