The first half was pretty boring. The second half was more interesting with a lot more happening. Overall I think both of them are unhealthy together.

Ugh this wasn't good. Ethan and Lilah were just blah. And some of the hockey references weren't how someone who follows hockey would talk, which as a huge NHL fan, really bugged me.

I don't want to call this a spinoff of the Pucked series-yes, it has the amazing Helena writing in it and yes, it has an incredible,beefcake hockey player as the hero and yes, it is all kinds of hot and steamy...
BUT
where I'd say Pucked had me ROTFLOL between the hot and sexy scenes, Good Luck Charm was full of heart and angst - not quite as much as her Clipped Wings series, but enough to pack an emotional punch.
Helena has shown her capability to stretch her romantic writing from the seriously funny to the downright serious and GLC fits right in the middle of that line. So if you like both of her other series, you should love this book!
It's not easy to trust again when the one you love has not only run away with our trust, but bruised and broken your very soul. How do you open up your heart again when you lost the key?
Patience, persistence, time and a little tenaciousness never hurt in finding what was lost.
In this second chance romance, Lilah (Delilah/DJ) Smith was shattered when Ethan Kase chose hockey over her. She never once thought of putting anything above him and knew he was headed for the NHL, but when he left her and never came back, never once contacting her in all the years he was gone, she eventually gave up and moved on.
Years have passed and unfortunately her marriage hasn't worked out either. In the midst of divorce, the one person she never thought she'd see again, Ethan Kase, is back in town and she isn't exactly happy to see him now that her life is in shambles.
Ethan has stayed away knowing that Lilah moved on, but now that she's free he has the opportunity to win her back, he only has one thing in the way again, his career. Which will he choose this time around?

- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

sadly this was a DNF for me. the pacing wasn’t great. it lacked any c or b plots. none of the characters felt fleshed out. there was too much going on, like the ex husband plot. what was the point? it wasn’t even developed lol. the characters felt way older than 26 to me. like her ragging on avery for having a 22 yr old gf when he’s 26?? what?? that’s so silly. and it was soooo much telling and not showing, especially in terms of emotions. a huge chunk of them were worked out by characters telling us what they feel for no reason. they just felt too self aware and this just felt like a first draft to me. untapped potential etc.

Great chemistry and good story; Liliah is kind of annoying when she lets Ethan dominate her time but she gets it figured out. 345 good and lot.
