I started this on St. Patrick's Day and didn't finish it until Easter even though it's like 100 pages. It took a bit for me to get into this book (even though it's a novella and not that long to begin with) and Conell is right up my alley (not being a Leprechaun, but being a redhead lol) so I stuck with it. 

It was an okay book. Not great, but not horrible. The mystery aspect was a nice piece I wasn't expecting.

Luck of the Irish

Jessica goes from a rude awakening to having her world rocked by her super handsome, deliciously dirty, new neighbor. A mystery unravels to reveal why her luck has recently turned around.

Fast paced and steamy. I like that the mystery of Conall and his presence follows him until the end. This is steamy very early on until the very last pages. This is a great quick read with a quick yet good resolution.

I am voluntarily leaving a honest, unbiased review.

Steamy

Attention this is super steamy. I mean you may need a cold shower because this goes from 0 to 100 fast.

Fun, silly, steam

I had no idea why I loved this story. Or why it got a 3.5 stars. Wait, that's not true. The follow up story was hilarious. And I actually liked the 90s Rom Com kind of humor.

Plus, there's a cat named Tiramisu. Who hates people. Except Conall.

There's a lot of sexy times. One scene in particular is woo level. The story isn't as strong as some of Mint's other work but it's fun and frothy.

Fair warning, the Irish stereotypes are loud. Super loud. Conall caught that Hollywood accent. I appreciated the drops of Irish mythology, though. And his mom, who was only referenced in the second story.

This was a fun, quick read that definitely gives you all the leprechaun plus six-pack vibes you are looking for. I mean I assume... This had all the sexual tension I could hope for and it was a very fast read. Also, I ended up with a wicked craving for stew much to Mr. B's chagrin. As sexy as it was, I wish we had a longer version to truly appreciate some growth, especially with Jess. Gettin' Lucky would have benefited from at least another 4 chapters (says this greedy reader).

Overall, I do recommend this as a great St. Patrick's day read and I do hope to read more of Ellen Mint's work in the future!
