About the book:
Charmed, Texas, is as warm and welcoming as it sounds. But even in a small town, when it comes to love, sometimes you’ve got to take the bitter with the sweet . . .
Carmen Frost hates honey. And bees. And in her hometown of Charmed, Texas, which practically invented the stuff, that’s a problem. The good news is that the summer Honey Festival is finally over. Even better, so is the annual Lucky Hart carnival, a road show that made off with her dreams years ago—including the boy she loved. Now she’s got a divorce behind her, and a successful law career in front of her, but in a tiny town, big memories die hard. Or they don’t die at all—as Carmen discovers when she runs into an all too familiar pair of eyes—older, wiser, and just as heart-melting as ever . . .
Sully Hart has had enough of the nomad lifestyle. Travelling with his father’s carnival gave him adventures, but it cost him much more. Now he’s home to stay, contracted to create an entertainment complex in Charmed. He wants roots, a house with a yard and all the mundane pleasures that go with it. But the girl he loved has become a woman who still wants freedom. Can she still want him? It seems he and Carmen are at each other’s throats one minute—and on each other’s lips the next. Someone’s gotta give . . .
My Thoughts:
Lucky Charmed
was times fun, and sexy, but I didn’t love it like A Charmed Little Lie. I won’t bother to summarize the story because
the description does a good job of that. Instead, I’m just going to list what I
liked and didn’t like about this installment.
What I liked:
Sully. He was such a
sweetheart and was back in Charmed to stake his claim on happiness. He was nice
and professional to everyone in spite of the unfair treatment from those such
as Carmen’s mom, and Dean, Carmen’s ex-husband.
I thought he was super patient to Carmen even though she was pretty
hostile. In her defense, she didn’t have
the whole story so I can kind of give her a pass. Up to a point.
Sully and Carmen’s chemistry. Every time she’d let her shields down they
burned up the pages!
Even though Carmen was pretty upset with Sully, she came to
his defense basically every time someone got critical.
I enjoyed how it all turned out.
What I didn’t like:
Carmen’s mom.
Seriously, this woman was something else. So critical of Sully when she
had absolutely no reason to be! When everything was revealed I couldn’t believe
that it was swept under the rug and forgiven so easily by Carmen!
Carmen’s ex-husband was a total piece of work, too! He had a
sneaky part in the past, too, but things didn’t work out so well for him in the
end, so there is that.
Carmen constantly running away from Sully, right when they
were on the verge of getting close again, and finding out exactly why Sully
left.
Carmen hated on the town of Charmed for much of the book; talking
about getting out of there every chance she got, then all of a sudden, she does
a complete 180 turn around with her opinion at the end. I got tired of her
negative attitude.
In spite of my issues, I did have fun with Lucky Charmed. I’m looking forward to the next in the
series: Once a Charmer out in October.
