When it comes to luck, I’m on the wrong end of the good side with more mishaps than I care to remember. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a happy guy: single, decent looking, wealthy, with a waiting list of people who want me to make their kid’s dreams come true with my custom-designed playhouses. My life was exactly how I wanted it to be. That is, until Saryn Night walked back into my life with the … the intention of firing me. Good luck with that. One strong-headed, opinionated woman with a three-year-old little girl had turned my world upside down within five minutes. The moment they stormed into my office — bright blue eyes, curly brown hair, and a smile that would make any man fall to his knees, and that was just the daughter — I knew I was in for one wild ride that was guaranteed to turn my luck completely around.
Now, for once in my life, I found myself thinking that maybe, just maybe, I could finally be Lucky in Love.
Lucky in Love is a stand alone novel in the Southern Bride series.

Lucky in Love is fun and oh so good! Truitt is hilarious, sweet, swoonworthy and hot all wrapped up in one package. Saryn is a strong willed and determined and such a beautiful person. Her daughter Liliana stole my heart being all kinds of adorable and cute. This book is rounded out with great supporting characters and I cannot wait for more of this series!
Kelly Elliott has done it once again. I’m loving the Southern Bride Series. Lucky in Love is a standalone book but the 4th book & has a wonderful story line.

~~TOP 10 RECOMMENDED~~
Okay first of I love a good man especially ones like Truitt but really the star of this book was Lilliana. I mean her saying Twuitt is just so cute and seeing her with him just will melt your heart. Truitt and Saryn are no strangers to denial and well when it comes to their attractions it’s hard for them to keep it to themselves. The way these two come so easily to life and seeing them just remain as friends is hillarious because it is all love all the way. Not only do we see Truitt trying to overcome his bad luck but he is such a gentleman when it comes to his two ladies it is so swoon worthy about him. Have to applaud Saryn for wanting to remain as friends this guy is so easily the kind of guy you will want right away no matter what. Seeing him work so hard to get Lilliana’s surprise just got to me and him talking to her is just so sweet. All in all this is by far my favorite Southern Bride book and readers will love Truitt Carter. Makes you believe that behind every bad luck is a ray of good luck in the corner. Loved it.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
Lucky in Love is the first book by Kelly Elliott that I have had the pleasure of reading and I can definitely say, I am now a fan. I love a sweet, small town romance and this book ticked off all the boxes for me. It is the perfect combination of wonderful writing, memorable characters and a storyline that is both endearing and swoon worthy with just enough funny moments to keep me smiling all the way through.
Truitt had me laughing from page one. I have never read a story where the hot, sweet guy is so accident prone. They actually take bets in the ER when he will be back.
Saryn has moved back to her hometown with her adorable daughter, Liliana after her divorce and is starting to put her life back together. What she didn’t expect was Truitt, her brothers best friend, to be around all of the time.
Everyone else saw it, it was inevitable and they both fought it until they couldn’t deny it. They had chemistry and a mutual attraction that had been brewing years ago and now was finally their chance to have it all!
The simple approach got quite a reaction from my heart. I think I just fell for a mischievously, sly three-year old and her clueless, klutzy, irresistibly, adorable father in training. Lucky in Love goes for the little things and that makes for a greater impact. Elliott knows what the heart wants and refuses to settle for anything less. Truitt and Saryn are the icing on the cake, but I think is Liliana gives the heart a reason to smile.
Laura- OHMIGOSH! I absolutely loved, loved, LOVED Truitt & Saryn. These two had me captivated from the first page. Watching them slowly figure out how to handle their attraction was perfect! The way that Truitt just fell in love with Liliana as well….whew! My ovaries were BURSTING! This might be my new favorite Kelly book. I loved every slow burn, sweet yet sexy book.
Rachel- I am so in love! It is no secret that Kelly is one of my all-time favorite authors – she is amazing! Lucky in Love is one of my faves from her so far! Truitt and Saryn (and Liliana)’s story was so perfect! I adore how clumsy Truitt is, it made my heart so happy! Watching them fall in love was magical! I love everything about this book! FIVE STARS!!!
Another fabulous addition to the Southern Bride series. When a Kelly Elliott books shows up on my kindle, it is time to drop everything and read. This book… Oh this book did not disappoint on any level. There are many laughs, some tears, and a dream playhouse that every girl reading this would want in their own yard. This is a ONE Click for sure!!!
I don’t even know where to start with this. Lucky in Love was amazing from the start. I DEVOURED this book.
Truitt, I love him. The man is accident prone and I swear he is my spirit animal in that sense. He’s a playhouse building and an amazing at that. He is super swoon worthy and the way he is with kids *insert heart eyes emoji here*. Saryn is a single mother. She loves her daughter more than anything and you can feel that love. The chemistry between there from the start, but there is some tension in the beginning. Lilliana, Saryn’s adorable three year old daughter, completely melts your heart. She is the sweetest thing ever and when it comes to Truitt, I just can’t. It is adorable.
This story is super sweet, emotional, steamy and there is a little twist towards the end that will have you on your toes.
I completely fell in love with this story and these characters from the start. Lucky in Love quickly became my favorite book in this series. It is beautifully written and all the characters are completely loveable….well minus one but it’s a well deserved dislike.
Lucky in Love is a MUST READ!
I don’t know how this author can write such great Characters that I love each and everyone of them. This story has all the feels and it pulls you in. Saryn is ready to start over now she is back home around family and she plans to give her baby girl Liliana the best life. What she did expect was when she saw her teenage crush Truitt again all the feelings come rushing back. What she didn’t know was Truitt has been hiding his feelings for her all this time. Lies were told and now they come to life and nothing is going to stop what fate set out to do al along. This story is Spectacular.
Kelly Elliott just amazes me.
Her books are always a great and it’s easy to fall in love with her male characters.
So yes I fell hard for Truitt Carter. There is just so much to love about him, even him being a klutz adds to his charm.
There is so much to say about this book, I am going to try and be good and keep this spoiler free.
As i read this book, It was easy to love most of the men. They weren’t all jealous idiots who carried revenge way to far…

I absolutely loved this book!! I loved Truitt. I have loved this whole series. I actually love that each book is a character we know nothing about. Though each book holds secondary characters I’d love to know more about.
Kelly knows how to write a book and draw you in from page one. This whole book I had butterflies in my stomach. I loved the connection between Truitt and Saryn. I even loved the connection between Truitt and Lilliana.
This book is my favorite in the series! I loved Lilliana and how welcoming she was. She was the cutest little girl ever!!!
I have adored each and every Southern Bride books but I have to say, I think this one is my favorite! (Sorry Chloe and Rip!) But there is just something about Saryn and Trinity that stole my heart from the beginning and of course we can’t forget sweet Lilianna. These days I’m a sucker for a child in a book and o have to tell you, Lilianna just sweetens these two’s story even more. And I’ll tell you, I read a lot and I’ve never read a book where someone had Truitt’s job and I loved it. As you can see I loved everything about this book. It’s one of Ms. Elliott’s best work yet. I loved it almost as much as the Wanted series and that’s saying something! But no for real, one click now! What are you waiting for?!?
Omg this was so good and so funny!!! What was not to love!! Truitt and Saryn were everything and more and her 3 year old daughter was the icing on the cake. These two had a thing for each other growing up BUT they never told each other. Fast forward several years and she returns after a messy marriage. She’s not ready for a relationship and he’s not ready to settle down but all of that changes when they see each other. They danced around their feelings until they finally put it in the open. They had fun banters and Truitt was so accident prone that it was hilarious. Her 3 year old was adorable and adored Truitt. It was such a good read it did have a major secret revealed that made me gasp for a minute but nothing to take away from the amazing read. Throw in Truitt brother, Saryn brother and his other best friends and it’s a very fun read. The epilogue?! Hilarious!!! Typical them.
Ha! Oh my gosh!! Truitt is so accident prone that friends and family make bets on how long he’ll go before he ends back in the ER. Not long is the answer for him. Some of the situations that he finds himself in is comical.
He’s always liked Saryn, his best friends sister but he waited too long for his chance. He lost her to another guy but she’s back to stay now. I loved her daughter Lilliana! She was so funny and sweet!!! She made the book so much more by being in it.
Saryn and Truitt have a lot of things to discuss, to clear the air between them. They have instant chemistry between them, and they’re so sweet together. That is one thing I really like about Kelly’s books is the sweetness, the aww factor that I get when reading them.
I was surprised by some of the secrets that came out! I wasn’t expecting them at all!!!
Lucky in Love was everything I expected and so much more, no one writes small town romance quite like Ms Elliott she has a knack of painting pictures with her words and she draws you in from the first page and she doesn’t let you go until you have read the last line. Her stories are always beautifully written, she gets the perfect mix of romance and humour with characters you adore and although I love every book in the Southern Bride Series for me this is the best in this great series.
Truitt Carter is a man we would all love to have waiting at home for us and now his best friends sister is back in town it’s time to let the girl he crushed on all those years ago see the man he has become. Saryn Night was his best friends sister so growing up she was off limits and before he could make his move she went and got herself married, now back home as a single mum of an adorable 3 year old called Liliana all bets are off and it’s time to cross that line.
This is a couple that belong together, a hero who wants to protect and love Saryn and Liliana but it’s going to take some time and perseverance before our heroine will trust again after all one failed marriage is enough. My heart melted as I joined this journey, I laughed at the classic one liners only a child could deliver and I swooned and I sighed as this couple got to know each other all over again. The only criticism I have is I wanted more and believe me this isn’t a quick read and that means you really know you have a special story when you don’t want it to end. All the feels I want in a great read.
5 Star Review Lucky In Love (Southern Bride #4) by Kelly Elliott
I know when I read a Kelly Elliott book that it will be well written with characters that you cannot help but become invested in and Lucky in Love was no exception; I simply couldn’t put it down. In fact this may well be my favourite in the Southern Bride series.
I fell hard and fast for Truitt Carter, Saryn Night and an adorable little three year old called Liliana. They have history, Truitt has always had a crush on his best friend’s little sister Saryn, not knowing she felt the same way but thanks to miss communication they parted ways years ago. Now here she is back in his life trying to turn it upside down.
From the beginning you know that Truitt and Saryn belong together, there were so many swoon worthy and laugh out loud moments Truitts accident prone issues had me in stitches at times) reading this story that I felt like I had a permanent smile on my face.
The relationship he forges with Liliana melted my heart. The intense chemistry that sizzles between Truitt and Saryn was impossible to resist. I loved this couple and the friends and family that surround them made this a fabulous and entertaining read.

Well Kelly Elliott has done it again….she gave us another wonderful story with Lucky In Love. This is kind of a second chance romance but not in the normal sense.
I will say this book had me laughing more than any of the other. The way this book starts off and how often Truitt gets injured was entertaining. No someone getting hurt is not entertaining but once you read this book, you’ll understand what I am saying.
Lucky In Love is the 4th book in the Southern Bride series. It is a complete standalone and this series can be read in any order. Just like all the books in this series, this book was an emotional and angst filled story. I thought the flow and pace of the story worked well. This is told in Dual POV. My only complaint was that I didn’t like the behavior of Truitt and Saryn in the beginning of the book…I didn’t think it was needed. But it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.
This story is about Truitt, Saryn and Liliana. Like I said this is kind of a second chance romance….more like unrequited romance. Truitt and Saryn both had feelings for each other back in high school but because of some miss communication and interference by other people, they went years without saying anything to each other. I thought this storyline was great and entertaining, I even loved the twist that came towards the end.
I loved all the secondary characters in this story ( all except for that one Kelly puts in there for her readers to hate….) Liliana was adorable and I fell in love with her right from the start.
If you love Kelly Elliott’s books , you don’t want to miss this book. Actually you don’t want to miss this whole series. If you love a small town romance that have characters who will melt you heart, then these are the books to read!!!!
At the beginning of this book I thought I wasn’t gonna like this book how much as I love your other books but as soon as I get to the middle of the book I start to love it so much and now I can’t wait to read another one of your book because they just keep getting better and better.
