The next Corwin is introduced to us in this story that had me laughing and getting mad all at the same time. Mike wakes up married and with a wife that has bailed on him along with the money he had. Amber is out trying to save her father but sometimes life has other things in store for us. Mike thinks the curse has struck again because his wife left him after one night and took his money. This story gives Mike and Amber sort of a rocky start but when they meet you are hoping they can pull it together. Their chemistry is intense and sweet even if Mike is a little angry in the beginning. This one did make me laugh and I love the betrayal and touch of suspense I got when I read it. It was a great read and I loved Mike and Amber
I enjoyed book 2 in this series much better than the first. The storyline held my attention and I loved the chemistry between Mike and Amber, opposites do attract. Loved Edward and his eccentric behavior. Looking forward to book 3.

I read this series when it was first released, and I enjoyed revisiting it. I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is the second book in the Lucky series. You do not have to have read book 1 “Lucky Charm” but if you do you will really enjoy “Lucky Streak” so much more.
This book starts off in Vegas where Derek Corwin’s cousin Mike ,who is a police detective in Boston, is there with his partner and a whole group for a destination wedding. While there he meets a girl named Amber and they get drunk and get married.
What about the Corwin Curse you ask? And what about What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas?
Well…. The curse is for those in love and you can’t be in love if you just met, right?
As for What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas…well Amber helped that along.
Great book about trust, love and we even get mystery in too.
Here is the order to read the series in.
