Well worth reading!
This is beautifully written storyline with wonderfully developed and engaging characters. A second chance of love between childhood friends. Twist and turns not just for the couple but all the surrounding family and friends. I loved it from page one to the last one.
He was her brother’s best friend and they liked each other until she went away to college. After bad breaks she returns home and they get a second chance. However, he had gotten devastating news from his grandfather and things needed to happen quickly by St. Patrick’s Day (he’s Irish). There are complications, but the ending is great. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy.
An amazing love story between Reilly & Gwen. He’s drop-dead gorgeous & his Irish accent has ye swooning for him. The pages are filled with steamy scenes & shows their love for each other is so strong, it hurts. Once these two tell her brother they are together, they realize he’s not as against their union as they first expected. They cannot reclaim all those lost years away from each other but once their secrets are revealed, they do have a beautiful HEA with some surprises.
I can see this novel being a best seller as it leaves you wanting more & has all the mixings of the greatest love story of all time.

I enjoyed this book. I really don’t like the overused friends with older brother trope but this author distinguished themselves by taking this overused storyline and filling the read with great dialogue, fully fleshed out characters and a lively pace. I received an arc for a fair and honest review.
Another great book that’s written with heartfelt emotion and titalating detail. Absolutely love the heat, chemistry and drama between Gwen and Reilly. They are intense, strong characters that fit like a perfect puzzle.
I enjoyed reading this story of second chance love. There were a lot of second chances – love, life, laugh.
The characters were all well described and there were those you loved and not.
Made you think a bit about not letting fear or ’what other think’, dictate your life or decision.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
Oh wow!!! This was an amazing book!! I loved how the author could get emotions out of the reader! The book starts off really sad for Reilly and I had a battle to read through the tears. The characters were amazing and there are a few miracles happening in the book! I loved Mills as a supporting character. She is a great and no excuses type of character. It really is an emotional book, but fantastic! I would highly recommend this to others!

Reilly and Gwen’s story is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster journey from beginning to end. The characters are realistic, and this story has drama and is a steamy read. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I recommend for all readers.
Watching the evolution of the relationship between these two was a treat.
This steamy romance is a roller coaster ride that will make you laugh, make you hot, and even make you shed a few tears.
This is a book about true love, making mistakes and fighting for what you want.
A second chance romance. Riley and Gwen have known and liked each other forever but she is his best friend little sister. When she comes back to town all grown up and laid off from her teacher job, everything clicks. There are some surprises along the way but they have a strong chemistry and their love is awfully sweet. I enjoyed their story.
Lucky Daddy by R. S. Lively
Gwendolyn Harper moved away from home and became a teacher. She also moved away because she has a big crush on Reilly O’Hara her brother’s best friend. Gwen lost her job so she is coming back home. Reilly works in his grandpa’s bar and he has always has a crush on Gwen. I love this story and the charaters are so great. I love that Reilly has an irish accent. Even the parents are so well writtin that it could be a friend parents. R. S. Lively did an excellent job on this book and I look forward to rereading this story. This one should be on your must read list. I received an advanced reader copy and have voluntarily chosen to leave a review. This is my honest opinion.
Sophie escapes an abusive arranged relationship and finds protection with Remy. He has telepathy powers and is considered weak by other werewolves. Because of this he thinks him and Sophie an alpha’s daughter, can never be together. This was a great shifter romance. Loved the interaction between Remy and Sophia it was touching and sweet. The story was well written with an interesting storyline that kept me turning the pages from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
I received an advanced readers copy of this book through Hidden Gems for an honest review.
Enjoyable best friend’s sister story. Anthony is Gwen’s older brother and Reilly’s best friend. Reilly and Gwen have been in love with each other since their younger days, but have been hidden their feelings for each other. When Gwen loses her job and moved back home Reilly realizes he cannot stay away from her anymore, but he is afraid it will cost him his best friend so they sneak around. Meanwhile his grandfather passes away leaving Reilly a billionaire which he hides from everyone in their small town. Before they can get their HEA, Reilly and Gwen have to work out their relationship issues.
A guy who is in love with his best friends sister but is afraid to tell him because it might ruin their friendship – where there is a Will (and a clause in it) there is a way
I have a double feeling with this book. It has two main characters who have an invariably good chemistry with each other. But because he is the best friend of her brother, she wants to keep it a secret. Why?? Both do not dare to tell him, they are making a very big drama about that. It feels double because she can read away the rest of the story line. All other characters in the book come into their own as well as the events. That’s why I think of 3 stars … I’m probably not like the drama at the moment and this book has a lot.
I love R.S.Lively’s books, but this one is probably at the top of my list. It’s realistic beautifully written romance that absolutely stole my heart. It has all the feels you can ask for in a book. Their is so much love throughout this book, not just between the Gwen and Reilly, but with all the characters. Lucky Daddy is full of emotions from, sadness, happiness, drama, surprises, lust, lots of love and LUCK. Oh and the accent R.S. adds to this book is hands down worth an extra 5 stars in my opinion. LOVED IT!!!
Reilly was like part of Gwen’s family because he was her brothers Anthony’s best friend. She started falling for Reilly when she was 12, but thinking that he only thought of her as his brother’s little sister Reilly never really showed Gwen any attention. Gwen falls hard for Reilly but after graduating college she thinks that he will never come to feel the same for her she decides to move away to Portland. Little does Gwen know that Reilly has loved her from afar the whole time, but in fear of losing his best friend he never acted upon his feelings.
Gwen loses her job & is forced to move back home. Reilly has suffered from a major loss in his life and when he hears that Gwen is moving home he doesn’t know if he will be able to keep the distance between them that he had in the past. Will Gwen and Reilly find their HEA or will they keep their feelings hidden?
If I could rate Lucky Daddy with more than 5 stars I would, that’s how much I enjoyed this book.
I was honored to have received an ARC copy of the wonderful book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review. I loved this book so much I will be purchasing a copy of my own. I would love to hear an audible version of this book hint hint.
I wasn’t sure how this story was going to go, but I started to enjoy it straight away. Gwen’s bestie mills is hilarious and brings humour to the book. Gwen and Reilly have always held back their feelings not wanting her brother and his best friend to come between them. But when her teaching job falls through she moved back home. Reilly and when go back and forth in a on off romance. It’s a great read
Reilly and Gwen are the most adorable but frustrating couple ever. They each create their own obstacles in their attempt to reach a HEA. Really good strong and vivid characters with a good storyline. I hope the author follows up with some of the interesting characters. Excellent read!
