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. He might think they can pick up just where they left off ...more

I loved this story. Good Luck Charm is a sweet, and heart warming second chance romance that will give you all the feels.

Ethan has returned home to do play for his home town NHL team. More importantly however is that retaining home means reconnecting with his ex Delilah who he left broken hearted.

I have to say that I immediately connected with Delilah and my heart went out to her. Ethan is determined to make her fall in love with him again. But did she ever really stop?

➳Second chance romances, in a small town with a well known famous hockey player who used to be your true soul-mate don't come every so often, but when fate puts you together in unwanted circumstances, you do not question it...

➳As many know, my love for Helena Hunting is not obscured and I embrace it in any way possible. It's also not a secret that her charisma is one that I adore as well since she is my favorite rom-com author out there. Well, to my surprise with her new novel, the anticipation of getting to read another rom-com went down the drain, in a very good way of course. This angsty, raw, passionate, and at the same time charismatic romance delivers to Helena's readers the true meaning of what one may consider a second chance romance. When Ethan and DJ aka Lilah meet as kids, they become the best of friends and very familiar with each other when it comes down to family and getting to thoroughly know one another. Once they start dating, Lilah and Ethan become inseparable, something that I find rather endearing to read. Friends to lovers romances have always been my favorite, so it's no exception that Helena's newest novel will attract the minds and attentions of her readers with this benevolent love story.

➳After years of being separated, due to the circumstances of Ethan following his NHL career, and Lilah staying behind in their home town trying to find her ideal future in the pre-med world, both individuals are encounter once again by fate bringing them together in an undesirable situation. As they learn the truth of their separation, hearts are broken, opinions are changed, the truth is revealed through the power of raw satisfaction and familiarity between Ethan and Lilah, something you rarely read in a second-chance novel. Ethan is a powerful individual that possesses the inner ability to conquer Lilah's feelings and body reactions in all the very familiar ways. Everything about this romance novel is the ideal perfection of what a sweet, endearing, and tender masterpiece should be;

"I was trying to be logical, because God knows nothing about the way I loved you was rational..."

➳Finding out their inner feelings, those raw feelings that they were not able to express for the past eight years, sprout once they interact first as friends, leading on to lovers that cannot get enough of each other. Helena's writing will never stop amazing me, but it will sure leave the reader with a flabbergasted expression at how wonderfully exciting her writing can be. In every possible way, this is a romance novel you cannot miss.

➳Overall, one cannot go wrong with reading this new stand-alone romance. Helena brings new couples to the pages of a fictional world that will forever have you wanting more and more, crave that individuality that indulges you to the page. If you have not read any of Helena's novels before, than that's alright as there are no spoilers in regards to any other of her romance stories. There is one thing that I did encounter in the midst of reading this new novel, something that took me off-guard but also made me smirk at what Helena did. (view spoiler) Meaning to spice it up and letting her reader's know about her new upcoming novel maybe? We shall wait and see to find out!

The Good Luck Charm by Helena Hunting was full of the author's signature wit, sass and well loved style of sexiness. The dialogues and more than one escapades made me chuckle, snort and laugh out loud. It was the perfect blend of light hearted fun while being also emotional and poignant.

I absolutely loved the couple's chemistry. TGLC is a second chance romance and the level of comfort shown by the couple was endearing and heartwarming. Ethan and Lilah just fit together, and knew each other so well it was palpable and genuine. There was no doubt that they belonged together. They were soulmates. And obviously they couldn't keep their hands off each other - very much in line of the authors signature PUCKED series. And throughout the book I did a lot of smiling and chuckling because of their light hearted antics.

Now, let's get into the nitty gritty.

TGLC is a sports and second chance romance, and it tackled a topic that is often mentioned but not usually called to attention in a way as it was in TGLC. As the title suggests, hockey players are notorious for being superstitious. Most pro athletes are, but hockey player might just take it to the OTT level. In this novel, it's not just the athlete who is forced to acknowledge this fact, but the heroine as well. I can only imagine how much pressure pro athletes face, and they fight tooth and claw to hold on to their winning streak, and do whatever is necessary to stay on top. Even if that means steamrolling over someone else's life.

The author described both sides in an emotional and interesting way. I honestly could see both sides, where they were coming from and how hard it was to let go. I also understood how easy it was to slide into such a habit, and the following repercussions.

Because of that I did not always agree with some of the couple's decisions. But it made sense. They stayed true to themselves, and in the end they figured it out and found a way to make it work for both of them which I can only admire.

All in all this novel was a wonderful light hearted but also thought provoking story, with excellent supporting characters that I hope will get their own HEA. A few hints promise for future books - which I'll be eager to read. ...more

She's a very nice person. A caring, loving and very capable nurse.
Lilah's patient is someone she knows very well.
Lilah's trying to turn things around just at the time she and Ethan see each other for the first time in several years.

Ethan and Lilah were each other's first love. He broke her heart and left town (and Lilah) to make it big in professional hockey. It's years later. Lilah still has feelings for Ethan. It's mutual. Lilah is more than a lot cautious. She doesn't want to have feelings for him, but she does.

She is worried Ethan will get her to care and then leave her again.
Lilah had been married and is now recently divorced.
Ethan has come back to his home town -near Minneapolis. He's been traded & trying to get his career back on track. In his early years, Ethan was quite the hockey star. He still has the ability, but he's been traded a few times and is now back on his home town team.

He grovels -a lot for what he put Lilah through. They were both young but Ethan really was a schmuck about how he broke it off with Lilah.
Lilah has made a life for herself. She has career goals and is on track to get her Master's in Nursing.

Ethan seemed to be in constant apology mode-even after they started seeing each other again, Ethan didn't seem to have his stuff together. He seemed to be dependent on Lilah to approve of his success. Lilah got into an almost harpy pattern. She rightly pulled back to get each of them back to being their own complete person.

There was a side development that came out in the last 25% of the book. A new development that is related to how Lilah opens up and trusts in relationships Lilah and Ethan have their ah ha moments.
I wanted Ethan to be a lot more assertive in relationships (with Lilah and also with Ethan's dad) and also ambitious in his career.

There's a sweet ending. I wanted an epilogue further into the future. I smell a sequel.
I borrowed this from Overdrive. ...more

I swear, every single one of them is an absolute winner in my book, and you can count this as one of my all-time favorites. Add onto the fact that this also happens to be a second chance romance, and I’m. A. Goner.

The Good Luck Charm wasn’t just dripping sexual tension, but it was also charged with so much emotion and humor—it’s almost like a sweeter and more charming version of the books in her Pucked series. To say that this was highly addictive and unputdownable is definitely putting it lightly. Every chapter you flip to just gets better and better. It was so good, so enthralling, that I already want to go back, reread it and just bask in Ethan and Lilah’s world forever.

Loving Ethan was only painful when I lost him. Loving him now is only painful because of the threat of losing him again.

Let’s face it, Helena Hunting has some of the BEST and hottest dirty-mouthed heroes, and Ethan Kase undoubtedly falls under that quickly growing list. He was downright dreamy and swoon-worthy. Ethan blazed a fire and melted all of my insides every time he brought back to life the “traditions” they had all those years ago. He made my heart speed up when he groveled his way back into Lilah’s life, but he made it skip beats when he won her heart all over again. He was just the sweetest, had the best intentions at heart, and stole my soul something fierce.

Delilah Jane was so easy to love. She’s one of those characters who’s just every bit real and relatable—someone you’d connect with right off the bat. I loved her spunk, her quirkiness and softness. She made me feel every single emotion she felt throughout the entire book, along with her vulnerabilities and insecurities. Lilah just made me want to hug her, soothe her and tell her to hang on tight. That’s the thing with Helena Hunting’s characters—she won’t only make you want to drop your panties for her heroes, but she’ll also make you fall deeply in love with her feisty and strong-willed heroines.

She carries half my soul, and without her, I don’t know how to exist.

Ethan and Lilah were absolutely perfect together. And given the kind of history they have, their chemistry was just that much more magnetic and mesmerizing. I adored that connection and spark and comfort between them—how they really knew each other forward and back. They filled my heart to the brim, sent tingles down my spine, and left a wide, goofy grin on my face even long after I’ve reached the end.

Their love was just something else entirely—something other couples covet and chase to have. It was utterly profound, all-consuming, and uniquely theirs. One that truly withstood time and separation, doubts and fears. And no matter how much of them we already got from this, they’re still making me yearn for so much more of them. Of their story. Of their once in a lifetime kind of true love.

“I want to love you before I go.” He fits himself between my legs.
“I like it when you love me.”

Sexy and light-hearted; passionate and emotional; funny and captivating all rolled into one phenomenal romance novel, The Good Luck Charm ultimately has Helena Hunting’s brand of heart, heat and humor stamped all over it. If you’re looking for an epic sports romance—particularly hockey—that’s guaranteed to leave you floating on cloud nine and buzzing with endless good vibes... one that will make you swoon to no end, fill you up with all the feels, and giggle or snort-laugh like there’s no tomorrow... then you won’t go wrong with this book. I’ve missed Helena Hunting’s sports romances, and she most certainly delivered this bad boy on point.
