Treat yourself to an “outrageously sexy” (Entertainment Weekly), “fabulously fun” (Jill Shalvis) second-chance romance from the New York Times bestselling queen of hockey romance! Lilah isn’‘t sure what hurt worse: the day Ethan left her to focus on his hockey career or the day he came back eight years later. He might think they can pick up just where they left off, but she’’s no longer that … just where they left off, but she’’s no longer that same girl and never wants to be again.

A new laugh-out-loud romance from Helena Hunting? Yes, please! And I absolutely adore this cover.
“—an apology isn’t going to change anything. He can never unbreak my heart.”
When I saw this cover I had no idea what deliciousness was lurking between the covers. If you are a fan of her #HockeyHotties then you are in for a treat, Ethan does not disappoint. But, I must confess, it’s Lilah that I’m in love with. I want to have #SisterSleepovers and margaritas with her.
The author managed to pull my heartstrings so tight they almost snapped while reading this amazing story. The intense and overwhelming young love that these high school sweethearts experienced set a bar that was impossible to match or exceed in the eight years after their breakup. And might I add that the devastation of sifting through the ashes afterward was a deterrent to Lilah’s willingness to pick up where they left off. She has no desire to put herself in that position again. But as her coworker so accurately stated, she can’t deny that he’s an #EFF (Extra Fine and Fuckable). In case she wasn’t sure, seeing him again confirmed that their chemistry was still there, stronger than ever. But she doesn’t trust it, him, or herself. She’s been burned and has learned her lesson about getting too close to the flames.
Ethan broke both of their hearts by walking away from their love to pursue his career in professional hockey. She is his biggest regret and he wants a chance to make things right between them. He doesn’t blame her for hating him. He deserves the misery he’s feeling over her refusal to give him another chance. Will he be able to survive in the #FriendZone as he attempts to earn her trust?
Being around Ethan again is bittersweet. “Memories that I’ve worked to push down all these years keep breaking the surface, like the little bubbles in a glass of soda.” Will she be able to push past the pain to give him another chance? Just when she’s on the verge of risking her heart again she learns that he considers her to be the good luck charm that’s responsible for his current winning streak. Knowing how superstitious athletes are about such things, she’s devastated to realize that their relationship might be more about the game than their future.
I became invested in this couple immediately. Being privy to their thoughts and feelings turned me into an emotional puddle of goo as I yearned for them to find their way back to each other. My heart ached for them. I wanted to reassure Ethan that he didn’t have to choose, that he wouldn’t have to lose the game or the girl, but I couldn’t. Lilah might be a #SexualPsychic when came to Ethan, but he couldn’t read her mind.
Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this beautiful story. It will have you sighing and swooning and smiling. And, hopefully, we’ll be seeing more of some of these amazing characters. I don’t see a series name mentioned, but there are some very special support characters that are stories just waiting to be written. The line forms here…
Freaking AMAZING. Loved every single moment of this book. The signature Helena Hunting humor laced with angst and love and memorable moments. UN-PUT-DOWN-ABLE.
Is it ok if I start this review off by shaming myself? I’m going to. I read The Good Luck Charm way back in June, when I was devouring all the hockey romance in light of the Caps winning the Stanley Cup. I fell totally in love with it. It made me so ridiculously happy, I posted about it a ton on Instagram. But you know what I didn’t do? Review it. So, here we are three months since I read it and I’m FINALLY going to write a review. I’m ashamed.
Second chance romance is my jam and, well, when you mix that with a bit of sports romance I’m one deliriously happy reader. I cheesy grinned and swooned my way through The Good Luck Charm. Sometimes second chance romances can be a little heavy as the couple works through what separated them in the first place. That wasn’t the case with Lilah and Ethan. Things just clicked for them. There was very little time and attention paid to drama in this book. Instead, it was fun, swoony and sexy. They were clearly meant to be and it was obvious in just about every scene.
I loved the characters, the romance and the setting. As a superstitious sports fan myself, I enjoyed reading about it from Ethan’s side and seeing how it affected Lilah. Since I was lucky to read this one prior to publication AND receive a finished copy from the publisher, I snagged the audiobook on release day. The Good Luck Charm is one I’ll reread for a long time to come. I’m already looking forward to reading it again.
FAVORITE QUOTES
I fear my heart remembers loving him more than it remembers how he broke it.
“Just because I left doesn’t mean I ever forgot you, Lilah.”
I’ve never wanted like this. Never felt this level of desperation with anyone but him.
