Luck of the Devil by Meghan March is the second book in The Forge Trilogy and it was absolutely AMAZING! Seriously-MIND. BLOWN. Ms. March cranked up the heat and the chemistry between Jericho and Indy in this installment and I could not get enough. With trilogies, the second book is usually meh for me and I could usually do without them. But this WAS NOT the case with Luck of the Devil. Action packed, full of mystery, and hot as hell, this is one story you do not want to miss.
Book two picks up right where Deal with the Devil left off. Some questions get answered while more questions pop up. We get to really see who Jericho Forge is underneath the intimidating mask he wears. And man oh man do I absolutely ADORE who he is. He truly surprised me with his actions and it made me fall even more in lust with him. And Indy…what can I say-her strength and her determination is inspiring. She really is one exceptional woman and I really cannot wait to see where the next book takes her.
There are so many twists and turns in this story which made it hard for me to put it down. Ms. March hit another home run with this story and I will be sitting here impatiently waiting for the conclusion! Highly recommend reading this book!
So I started reading and literally finished in one day. This fast pace and deliciously wick story grabs you and doesn’t let go. This books picks up where Deal with the Devil left off. And I must say that this author packs in witty banter, suspense, action, romance and sexiness with the best of ease.
Jericho and Indy are the best at enemies to lovers. Their push and pull gets more passionate yet volatile at the same time. They are both strong and fierce but they are each vulnerable. In this book they become close to one another yet keep their distance. It’s a delicious sinfulness with these two. Jericho opens up about his past and Indy sees another side to this infamous, sexy man. He makes Indy feel safe and secure but can she really trust him? I will say that after getting a much needed lesson on winning the girl, Jericho takes it to another level showing Indy that he’s a changed man.
I will say that there are evil forces after these two as well as hidden agendas. The story keeps you guessing with its twists and turns. The cliffhanger will leave you breathless and I believe that Indy will become the Heart of her Devil in the last book.
Luck of the Devil was a great follow-up to Deal with the Devil. Meghan March ramped-up the intensity of this book, ever so subtly, but with so much hinging on every decision it seemed every step, every choice, every breath the characters took could irrevocably destroy or reinforce the futures they were striving toward. While I’ve loved each story I’ve read by Ms. March, the Forge trilogy is quickly becoming my favorite.
Throughout Deal with the Devil and for a good part of Luck of the Devil India and Jericho were building a house of cards that could so easily fall and destroy them both, with all the secrets and half-truths they’d been telling. Once they both realized there was something powerful and rare growing between them, I was exceedingly happy to see them begin to open up, to share their lives and thoughts, to quit hiding behind their secrets.
Jericho and India are both forces to be reckoned with by themselves, once they decided to work together, they were completely unstoppable. I have no doubt anyone who is working against either or both of them will rue the day they decided to make that choice. The strength they both show to the world was only complemented by the vulnerability they were beginning to reveal to one another. Their dynamic was so passionate and consuming; I can’t wait to see how their love story will play out in Heart of the Devil, because I’m sure it’s going to be quite a ride.
Luck of the Devil is the second book in Meghan March’s Forge trilogy. These series is a continuous tale told in three parts and must be read in order. There were a few guest appearances from characters in her other novels, but it is not necessary to have read those books to understand what is going on in this one. Luck of the Devil is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by India and Jericho.
I’m so giddy because it’s time for book 2 in the Forge Trilogy. Luck of the Devil was everything I had hoped for and so so much more!
Now I’m jonesing big time for Heart of the Devil because that ending….I just can’t even!
Ok so in this book Indy is even more amazing. I seriously love this gal. She is the perfect MM heroine. Ballsy and strong willed yet soft and vulnerable to. She’s stealing one mans heart and taking names in the poker world.
Jericho is falling fast for his feisty companion. She challenges him at every turn and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Things from both Jericho and Indie’s pasts are revealed and some of these revelations crate tension. We learn more about Jericho’s childhood and the reasons for the path he has taken. All this culminates with a big tournament for Indy and it all ends with a stunning Meghan March finale. Bring on Heart of the Devil…I am sooo ready for more!
I loved seeing Jericho and Indy’s relationship develop in this book. I was completely consumed by their story and didn’t want to read too fast, but also couldn’t wait to plug in and immerse myself in their world. They spend time together and learn new things about each other. It was such a joy to see their emotions and compassion toward each other grow. While life around them was hectic, and sometimes dangerous, they could forget about it when they were with each other. And for fans of Meghan’s Dirty Billionaire trilogy, it was fun to get a peek into Creighton’s and Holly’s lives! It was interesting to see Jericho and Creighton’s relationship as well. I loved everything about this book and was lost in the FEELS! One thing I really enjoyed about listening to this book, was how much of it was from Forge’s perspective, which meant more Joe Arden! (I just love his voice!) But it was mixed nicely with Indy’s POV, read by Erin Mallon. I didn’t want this book to end and now I’m DYING for Heart of the Devil! Be sure to grab this book today!
I have a massive girl crush on Indy and I’m absolutely in love with Forge. He is going up to my top Meghan March’s alphas at light speed. This story has sooo many twists and misery all mixed up with the hottest characters ever, you can’t put it down. This story is everything
“’ . ’ . . ** . , , ** .”
Meghan March has a way of creating a world that wraps her readers up, and consumes them page by page. You never know what is coming, you just think you do. The second book in the Forge Trilogy is no different. We continue to watch India and Jericho’s relationship develop through twists and turns, leading to a passion that a “mere mortal” could only hope to experience in real life.
Well worth your one click! I can’t wait for the final book to be released so we can see where she will take us!
I can’t believe I am even going to say this. I am shocked that I am even thinking it. Maybe it’s because I haven’t read the Mount Trilogy in awhile and Mount is not fresh on my mind, but do I dare say… JERICHO FORGE IS MY FAVORITE! There, I said it. I said it! Gah, I never thought this day would come, but THIS man! Holy hotness… Jericho Forge rocked my world.
I loved this second book in the Forge Trilogy even more so than the first! How is that even possible?! The storyline just keeps getting better and even more complex. Jericho and Indy continue to consume me with the fire and passion between them. Jericho is staying true to his delicious, alpha male self and Indy continues to blossom. I adore this couple, and I can’t wait to see how their story plays out.
That being said… that ending! Meghan March is the queen of cliffhangers! She gets you to the point where you are hanging on her every word and then BAM! She has got me all twisted up and anxiously awaiting, Heart Of The Devil. March 12 cannot come soon enough. I am counting down the days!
Review by Lys
luck of the devil opens with a flashback, but once we’re in the present the action picks right up where deal with the devil left off. india and jericho still have an abundance of trust issues. and both of them are holding something back.
but some well-timed advice from a dirty billionaire might help get india and jericho on the same page. because together, they are an unstoppable force.
this read is just as fun, just as twisty, just as enjoyable as the first book in the series. so much of that has to do with the chemistry between these two characters. when they’re on the page together, everything just crackles with electricity. you feel their spark viscerally.
all you can do is strap on your seatbelt and go along for the ride. it’s so worth it. india and jericho forge are #couplegoals. and the ride will continue on in heart of the devil and i can’t freaking wait.
**luck of the devil will publish on february 12, 2019. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of meghan march in exchange for my honest review.
PLOT TWIST! PLOT TWIST!
Ok Meghan I am usually ok with certain book endings. But really, I need the next one ASAP because Jericho and Indy have some ‘splainin to do!
Jericho and Indy have become one of my favorite couples Meghan has written. They are both strong willed and complex characters that I just cannot get enough of.
Seeing Jericho and India falling for each other more and more, seeing how they were with each other, how they made each other feel when the walls started falling down will just make you sigh.
India wants to make it on her own and Jericho will do everything that makes it possible for her to do that. He wants her to have everything that she wants. Together they’re explosive, together they would be unstoppable if they can get to that place.
He has secrets that he’s slowly letting her in on. We do learn some secrets, we do learn some answers, we do learn we want to fling our kindles when we get to the end too! Can’t wait for the final book!!
To date, from book one to two, this is by far my favorite and one of the best trilogies(I know book three will not disappoint with the way this story is going) that Meghan March has put out.
I am absolutely taken with Jericho Forge. I don’t think there is a thing I don’t like about him. His physical appearance, Alpha Male attitude, his background and his intensity are all thrilling to read. The fact that he owns a “Kracken” only gives him bonus points and when he gets enlightened……. Swoon, swoon, swooning all over the place will be your current situation.
Indy is a really great character that only improves with each chapter. She’s strong, loyal, independent and I love her being with Jericho, regardless of the agreement they have. Their chemistry is so good and their denial of it is even better.
Luck Of The Devil, picks up right where we left off in, Deal With The Devil. Book one stopped on one heck of a cliffhanger and kept the pace up at full speed in this one.
The ending of this book, in true Meghan March fashion, is like they climbed a higher mountain just to drop you off a higher cliff…..AND I LOVED IT!!!
Written well, with a storyline that has suspense, sex at its steamiest, the dual denial of something more and an epic conclusion waiting in the wings-Ghah!!!!
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK and any other book by this author!!!
I can’t wait to read the conclusion that Meghan March has in store for some of my favorite characters….EVER!
You will/should be clicking on autopilot if you have read book one.
AMAZING!! Meghan, girl!! Just when I think your books couldn’t possibly get any better you release Jericho Forge into the world!! Yes, it’s a CLIFFHANGER (and a he’ll of a one at that) but sooo worth the mental torture!!! Must read!!!Luck of the Devil
Since the moment I had the privilege of taking a peak at the complex and intriguing man that is Jericho Forge, I have been absolutely hook. I almost hated the fact that the first book left her waiting bereft for more. But for all the extreme greatness that is Jericho, Indy also steals the show. She is brave, true, and so intriguing. I cannot overstress the rightness that will come with picking up this book. I don’t want to ruin what is to come, other than saying you won’t be disappointed
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book
Rated 4.5 Stars
Luck of The Devil was amazing. I would’ve devoured it in one sitting but my kindle needed charging, as soon as it was finished I was back at it again. This story had me fully engaged and engrossed in what was going on. I didn’t think it was possible to love Jericho Forge more than I already had yet it so was possible. My love for him knows no bounds. Every new level/thing I discover about him just makes me sigh happily and dreamily. As for Indy, I love her and her feistiness. She’s such a spitfire but what I love about her most of all was the side of her that came out in her actions with Jericho. I loved the side of him that came out with her too. I loved this book and highly recommend it. Now I wait for the final installment that I’m just dying to get my hands on.

Luck of the Devil is book two in the Forge Trilogy and goes full steam ahead with Indy and Forge’s story. Ms March doesn’t miss a beat with this second installment of the series continuing the complicated and thrilling relationship between the two. We getting a deeper look into Forge’s back story getting to see how his past has shaped the man he is today. He’s had a tuff upbringing which has him keeping his guard up, but he’s intrigued and at times spellbound by the beautiful and head strong India. India is one strong and feisty young woman. She doesn’t want to be taken care of my anyone, let alone Jericho Forge. The head strong beauty knows to keep her true feelings for this strong and powerful man under wraps, knowing he can break her heart at a moments notice. I loved the push and pull between the two of them, both of them trying to hide the desire they feel for each other, but just not quite trusting one another. I absolutely adored Indy’s witty and playful nature, her character was refreshing in contrast with the dark and brooding Jericho!!! This story is jam packed full of romance, suspense and nail biting drama, and the secondary characters play a vital and important part of this fast paced, and dramatic story. Ms March delivers another 5 star read in this exciting stor
Book 2 of the Forge Trilogy….
Gaaahhhh! Ms. March just upped the excitement level to unmeasurable levels in this next installment of the Forge Trilogy…
Luck of the Devil picks up right where Deal with the Devil left off! (See my review here!!)
I have to say that the visuals that Ms. March paints with her words are amazing! I have had to stop a few times while reading this and just stare at a wall and I could just “see” the beautiful places and beautiful ships.
India is coming to grips with her relationship with Jericho. She is in a struggle between her heart and her brain. She is still on the fence with her trust in Jericho.
Jericho is struggling too. With the help of some sage advice from a friend he decides to give it his all. He is still harboring secrets, and we don’t know the full extent of them yet, but it was swoony to read about the lengths he will go through to get into the good graces of India.
Full of excitement, danger, romance and overall smexiness this book is fantastic! Ms. March is a professional tease in all the good ways and I can’t wait for the final installment of this trilogy!
Holy Hotness! Meghan March has really stepped up her game with the new series! Luck of the Devil was so heart stopping and had me on the edge of my seating waiting and gasping every time something new unfolded. I never in a million years saw any of these things happening. After Deal with the Devil cliffhanger I was very much ready to dive right into this. What would happen next for Indy and Forge?
I feel like we got to see a lot more into what makes Jericho Forge the man he is today. In Deal with the Devil he was so ruthless and cunning I was always wondering what he was playing at with the moves he was making with Indy. In this book I feel like we got to see a bit more of a softer side to him. Sweet, romantic and how his feeling for Indy were finally starting to come through. All his intentions with her finally come out into the opening and getting a better understanding behind them.
Indy was defiantly not to be messed with. She finally started putting her foot down and demanding answers and wanting to know what Forge was really up to. Even though she was truly put through the ringer she never backs down. I love Indy! Her personality, how she handles life might not be perfect but all she can do is work hard and put her best foot forward. She loves her family and will stop at nothing to help them and keep them safe. The way she handles herself in the male dominated world of poker and really leaves her mark.
Luck of the Devil will have you laughing, crying, and gasping, on the edge of your seat and ready to strangle so people. Everything starts coming to light while for more shadows begin to lurk in the corners. You’ll never get enough of these two and their world. I can’t wait to see what’s next in Heart of the Devil! This is a must read!
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book and Meghan March did not disappoint, well except for the nail-biting, what just happened ending that now has me anxiously waiting for the conclusion.
Jericho Forge is a predatorial deal maker. When he sets his sights on India Baptiste as a means to an end to close a business proposition of a lifetime, his controlling ways begin to waver. After all, money cannot buy everything, including the heart of a headstrong woman.
Whoa and the saga continues! Swoon-worthy read..so many emotions were felt while reading this one!
The love story between Forge and India goes to another level in Luck of the Devil. India is falling for Jericho and he is totally falling for her. In a marriage of convenience or so it was to be, these two have immense attraction and their pasts will make your heartache. The suspense in this book will keep you turning the pages well into the night. I am on pins and needles to see how this story unfolds!!!
