HaydenI’d learned long ago that I just wasn’t a relationship sort of guy, and I’d definitely never been the type to risk getting involved with a colleague. But Gemma was different. I felt compelled to chase her, to possess her, despite my growing certainty that she was keeping something from me. Her surrender was the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted, but I got far more than I’d anticipated. It was … than I’d anticipated. It was supposed to be casual. No strings attached. I wasn’t supposed to fall for her.
Gemma
As a perpetually exhausted single mom, I couldn’t remember the last time a man had truly made me feel like a woman. I was sensible, responsible, and at the top of my professional game. But it took no time at all for Hayden to have me at his mercy. I gave him more power over me than any man had ever held, but there was one thing I just couldn’t bring myself to share. At the time, keeping my secret had felt like the right thing to do. Now, I’m being crushed by the weight of it. I’ve already lost my heart. Will I lose Hayden too?
Author’s Note:
Lucky Stars is a stand-alone office romance with a possessive alpha CEO, a strong heroine, and a guaranteed HEA. Be prepared for a little caveman behavior and a lot of steamy goodness!

I have loved this series so much.
Lucky stars the third in the simply enchanting and fate turns its eye on Hayden and Gemma when a chance encounter at a local bakery and an adorable little munchkin’s request for a muffin strike the match for what will be an affair to remember. Hayden is commitment-shy and casual relationship only and Gemma was a loving devoted single mother to wonderful four-year-old Hallie. Add that the two of them are both laser-focused on a mutual project that has them working very closely, well that and an attraction that is too hot to deny and you have a story that checks off all of the requirements of another brilliant book. You have amazing chemistry, a heart-melting story, lots of steamy encounters, and wonderful cast characters. Christi has outdone herself again with this series and I have loved reading every one.
This is the third book in the series but it easily reads as a standalone. This is Gemma and Hayden’s book these two meet while they are both in a bakery and the attraction between them is immediate but after they part Hayden is gutted he never got her number only to turn up at his office to find she is the project leader h will be working with. These two have really great chemistry but she is keeping something from him what will happen when he discovers her secret?
This was a good book! It was easy to read and held your attention easily. It was steamy and romantic and I just really enjoyed it. I’m planning on going back to read the two I missed!

This is the first book I have read by Christi Whitson and I found it to be a wonderful romance story. The characters, Hayden and Gemma, are lovable, relatable, and have an amazing chemistry. The storyline is well written and contains secrets, steamy romance, and a chance at happiness. But will her secret tear them apart?
I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

The third book in the series brings Gemma and Hayden’s story. They meet by chance and have an instant attraction but find they are working together on a project but they each have reservations on moving forward on more than a professional basis.The author does a great job building the story and developing the relationship. She gives them a great chemistry but even as they get closer she’s hiding a secret. What happens when he discovers it? It’s a well written book,flows fluidly and I enjoyed reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
When Gemma gets assigned to work a construction project for the wealthy hotel corporation owner Hayden she didn’t expect to fall so hard or so fast but she has to deny her feelings and keep it professional. Hayden has never had such a strong attraction for a woman as he has had for Gemma if she would stop fighting their mutual attraction he would love to have a friends with benefits as that is all he is looking for. When he finds out she has more responsibility from her past will he walk away even though they have fallen for each other?

I really enjoyed this book. I always love the flow of this author’s stories and I really felt there were so many unique situations that were thoughtfully played out and realistically approached in this story. Of course I couldn’t love it without the amazingly descriptive adult content which was on point!
This is such a touching story. Gemma has been placed as the project leader for a building being constructed by Hayden. She and Hayden meet at a bakery and the attraction between them was instant. Hayden never responded to a woman like he did with Gemma and kicked himself for not getting her phone number. When he gets to his office and then the meeting, Gemma is there to his surprise. Working closely with her has his feelings building but Gemma is keeping a secret. Will they be able to keep their relationship professional in spite of things going personal especially when he finds out Gemma’s secret?

Gemma and Haydens story is so surreal and captivating. Lucky Stars is an emotional roller coaster that keeps you guessing every time you turn the page. A wonderful way to end a fantastic trilogy!

A muffin emergency.
That’s how they meet. Over a muffin.
But Hayden Forrester meets Gemma Kirkwood again a few minutes later. At a meeting where they will be working on a big construction project together.
Gemma is a single mom to Hallie, her daughter with autism. Hayden hasn’t dated a single mother before, much less one with special needs.
I loved both Gemma and Hayden and their introspection if they can handle a relationship with each other. Excellent read. Loved Hayden. And Gemma.
