Lady Luck is the third book in the Colorado Mountain series and, in my opinion, has the best storyline of the three. I adore Ty Walker who, if you can believe it, is even more crass and foul mouthed than either Max or Tate… or maybe even both Max and Tate combined! So yeah, be prepared, because this book takes crassiness to a whole new level! In fact, I made up a word to describe Ty – crasshat… a crass asshat… And I wouldn't change a thing about him.
So, let’s break it down. What is it that has...more

Wow! What a fantastic story! Lady Luck was a book I was leery to read. I knew I would struggle with the hero, knowing how crass and disrespectful toward women he was, and I was right. What I didn't expect, however, was that I would ended up not only loving this passionate, emotional, intense, and captivating story, but I would also fall head-over-heels in love with the hero.

Tyrell (Ty) Walker has just served five years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Now he's out hellbent on revenge. Lexie Berry has been asked to pick up Ty when he is released from prison, but she has no idea that she's being asked to do a whole lot more.
As much as I loved the romance between Ty and Lexie, I found the meeting between Ty and Tate towards the end of the story, unbelievably touching and sweet. It takes a real man to tell another man that he loves him. That type of relationship...more

I'm done! It was good, but I didn't enjoy it anywhere close to as much as I did the first two in this series. I think what I was missing was the romance which didn't play as predominant a roll in this one as it did in the first two. Also, I finally got over my mad at Ty, but he definitely won't go down as a favorite of mine. Now, I'm REALLY looking forward to Chace's story!

This book was pretty good. There was some stuff in the middle that bored me to death, but I loved the Ty and Lexie stuff. The framed memories were cool. And it was a kick ass epilogue. I liked beginning and the premise of marriage farce turns to love. I liked that Lexie called Ty "hubby" and played with his wedding band. All of the criminal goings on had me skimming due to out and out boredom. But it was still a great book.

Judging by the blurb, my first thought was that Lady Luck would be about vengeance. An eye for an eye. To a point, it is, but for me Lady Luck is about family -- the one we make, not the one we're born with. It was such a wonderful feeling reading about these two people, both had been dealt the crappiest hands ever, who were able to finally turn their luck around when they found each other. Absolutely beautiful!

By now I've come to expect KAs stories to be completely absorbing with a hot alpha hero, a very loveable heroine, and wonderful secondary characters. This author is an amazing story teller and she doesn't disappoint with this one!
Ty's story is the most heart breaking. Framed and condemned for a crime he did not commit has cost him five years of his life. He leaves prison with a heart full of pain and a mind bent on vengeance.

This was a great follow-on from Sweet Dreams and introduced a new H/h who had me panting just as much as Tate and Laurie from SD. But I don't want to keep gushing over these books so I'll try to remain calm whilst reviewing.
I have to admit that while some reviews that I've seen of this book showed distaste in regards to Ty's (the hero) reference to women and other "vulgarities" - it wasn't an issue for me. He'd been framed and locked up in prison for 5 years (and a female held some res...more

Plus another fabulous epilogue that took you out 5 years to the future and it's final sentence said there will be another one to this series with two promising characters introduced in Lady Luck.

Lady Luck is the story of Lexie, hairy goof extraordinaire, and Ty, regurgitated KA hero. It opens with Lexie waiting for Ty to be released from prison. Lexie’s got this super sweet ride. Right away I’m thinking: Oh, okay so KA just finished watching some prison drama where someone had a super sweet ride. Got it. Lexie’s under the thumb of some pimp, naturally, which is why a classy person such as herself would even be in the position of giving an ex-con a ride. But then she sees...more

Saw that Kristen had another book out based in Carnal about Chace so decided to re-read Sweet Dreams (Colorado Mountain Series), The Gamble, Lady Luck (Colorado Mountain Series) before starting the new book.

I want so badly to be the "mama" of a man the likes of Ty Walker, it's not even funny. I LOVED THIS. Every second, every character, every goofy part, every Ty part, every ugly bit (though not so much since it made me tear up in public). It was brilliant.

I love this book! It has everything in it. Mystery, intrigue, well developed characters. Great dialogue. And a gripping story that isn't far fetched or unrealistic.

I have been so used to white male alpha heroes and IR(BW/WM) love stories that I almost forget the nuances and attitudes of black men and why I love them so much. Ty Walker may be half-black but his story is all about him being a black man and "smelling" when people around him don't like black. I thought KA's portrayal of this character was as close as she could get and it was enough to remind me of black men in my life.

“<…>When I was done speaking I felt his body had gone still again, stone still.
And silent.
Then he asked quietly, "Nightmare?"
"Nightmare," I replied firmly.
Ty didn't move.
By a miracle, I held it together.
Then he moved but it was to rest his chin on my shoulder and I closed my eyes because I needed him to go, go, go so I could fall apart again on my own.
Then he said, "Your nightmare, mama, was my dream."
My heart clenched.
He kept going. "Never had a home until you gave me one."
My breath started sticking.
"Never had anyone give to me the way you gave to me."
My breath stopped sticking and clogged.
"Never thought of findin' a woman who I wanted to have my baby."
Oh God.
"Never had light in my life, never, not once, I lived wild but I didn't burn bright until you shined your light on me."
Oh God.
"Whacked, fuckin' insane, but, at night, you curled in front of me, didn't mind I did that time that wasn't mine 'cause it meant I walked out to you."
He had to stop. He had to.
He didn't.
"Your nightmare," he whispered, turned his head and against my neck he finished, "my dream."<…>”

“Baby?” he called and he felt her eyes on him.
“Yeah?” she replied, her sweet voice soft, another tone he was getting used to and this was because the last couple of days it had started to come at him often.
“Do me a favor?”
“Sure.”
“In a second, I’m gonna pull over, get out my gun and give it to you. When I do, shoot me with it.”
“What?” she whispered.
“I’m facin’ another hour and a half of your music. I’d rather be dead.”
Silence then, “Shut up.”
