I seriously could not put this book down! I read it in a couple of hours. There just wasn’t a good stopping point for me. After each chapter I wanted to know what was gonna happen next. I loved Sophia and Grant and the fact that they got their second chance. I HATED Grant’s boss and just wanted to kick him, not to mention Carolina. Sure she was just doing what she needed to do to survive, but trying to force someone into something they don’t want is not cool. I would have loved a little more info as to what happened to Armand at the end but all in all this was a great book! *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
I enjoyed getting into this world again with the Lakkas family. Second chance romances are a favorite of mine and this story was right up my alley. I loved how Grant and Sophia reconnected and how her family loved to meddle, especially Yaya.
How sweet and complicated the second time around can be.
Lucky in Lugano is the third book on Kat Mizer’s Romancing Europe series, and I think that it is the best one yet. This book centers around Sophia Lakkas who is trying to reconcile from the biggest regret in her life – the one love that got away 4 years ago, Grant Jergenson, a talented orthopedic surgeon, who happens to be in Switzerland for a special residency program.
Old wounds and events that have left both of them smarting and come to the surface as their love for each other cannot be denied. Even though this is a shorter read from one of my favourite authors, the emotional depth and intensity is so multi-layered and multi-faceted, it is a truly delightful read. An endearing page-turner filled with amazing characters, joy, sadness, sizzling heat and endearing love. I truly hope that there will be more books in this series!!
Lucky in Lugano is an emotional and inspiring romance about second chances, atonement, and a love that survived distance and time.
If you’ve read the previous books in the series (which isn’t necessarily required, but does help with the backstory), then you’ve already met Sophia. The author wastes no time transporting readers into the picturesque country of Switzerland and into the heart of Sophia’s story. Grant and Sophia have a heartbreaking history together. But when they unexpectedly meet again in Lugano, their chemistry sparks once again and feelings reappear–feeling that were thought to be forgotten–giving hope that a happily ever after just might be in the cards for them. But fear and insecurity overtake Sophia, making her question whether second chances are possible.
This story is full of heart, heat and long-lost love. Sophia and Grant are complicated, yet not. Yes, they have history, Yes, they were madly in love with each other. And yes, you can clearly see they still have undeniable feelings for each other. But that same past prevents them from overcoming their trust issues, and Grant’s job brings a whole new set of challenges that tear at the strings of their newly formed reconnection. You can’t help but endure the struggles right along with the characters while reading their journey to love.
Lucky in Lugano is a touching and romantic quick read that fits perfectly within the Romancing Europe series. These stories showcase passion, adversity, and devotion, and are the perfect summer time reads that will leave you yearning for more.
