Lucky's Lady (Doucet, #2) in Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group

Jul 17, 2011 Saly rated it it was amazing · review of another edition

OMG!That's all I have to say. This book was amazing and took me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. I loved Lucky and Serena, and ached for them and rooted for them.

Lucky's name isn't really apt since he isn't really lucky and doesn't consider himself to be. He was all set to be the first in his family to go to college when one girl used him and he joined the army. The scars of that and the army(he was sold out by his superior into captivity) have not yet healed, so he drinks too much, is obno OMG!That's all I have to say.

Lucky's name isn't really apt since he isn't really lucky and doesn't consider himself to be. He was all set to be the first in his family to go to college when one girl used him and he joined the army. The scars of that and the army(he was sold out by his superior into captivity) have not yet healed, so he drinks too much, is obnoxious and hides himself under all that when Serena Sheldon, twin sister of Shelby(the girl who used him) comes to him, all prim and proper in her city garb asking him to take her to his grandfather in the swamp.

Their start isn't good Lucky is rude and uses a lot of sexual innuendo and Serena doesn't like him and his shenanigans in a bar don't help his cause. Serena is a psychiatrist in Charleston, and stays far away from the swamp since it terrifies her(she got lost in it).

Telling what happens in the book isn't really enough. Serena is great, she hasn't really known great passion despite being married, she prefers a safe cocoon but the events perpetrated by her sister and brother-in-law(they want to sell the family heritage to a company with bad environmental rep) and the manipulations of her grandfather(who wants her to take over her birth-right) put her in the middle and in the path of Lucky.

When she has to stay over at his place that is his haven she soon comes to see how wrong she is about him, he is not a poacher and no matter how much he tries to say that he minds his own business, she see how he cares for her grandfather, feeding orphaned raccoons, driving away poachers and even comforting her when she is drowning in her fears. And when she sees his private art it ends up in them being intimate and no matter how much she tries to stop herself she falls for the real Lucky, who tells her not to love him.

I felt bad for Serena as far as he sister was concerned, that is one evil woman but she still didn't hang on to her anger. Lucky does realize he loves Serena but he knows that he is in no mental frame or even deserving of her. I loved seeing these two coming together. Lucky was one tortured sexy Cajun guy. ...more

This one was more of a 3.5 star for me.

There is a lot that I loved about this book, but a few things that I didn't.

Lucky Doucet....he is something that I loved about this book! Lucky believes that he has nothing left to give. He is a down on his luck character who has been burned by love in the past. Serena is a prim and proper lady who is, on the surface, Lucky's polar opposite. As you get to know Serena's character, you see the passion and depth of spirit that lies below her icy exterior.
