My Lucky Charm by Courtney Walsh is the perfect read! I devoured this book in about 24 hours and loved every single glorious second. Walsh is queen of crafting the best romantic tension and angst. This is what had me up on a week night well past my bedtime furiously turning pages. I absolutely adored her characters. They are so charming and quirky and unique and relatable. Eloise is sunshine personified. She genuinely loves people — no one is a stranger to Eloise, and it’s genuine. But it’s also exhausting. She gives so much of her heart and, unfortunately, most people step all over it. I cheered for this girl the entire time. I needed her to get her HEA in a bad way! Gray is the best kind of snarky, gloomy, brooding hero. And how he thaws over the course of the story because of Eloise is the best. It had me goofy smiling the whole read! What I love so much about Gray is how relatable he is. Gray is the guy who keeps making the same mistake even when he works so hard not to. At one point he berates himself and says, “Why? Why do I do this? It’s like I know what to do, and I still do the wrong thing” (266). Yes, exactly! I have been there. In the middle of my passionate outbursts, I will actually think to myself, “Nicole, what are you doing? Again? You’re falling back into this stupid pattern again?!” Thank God my Eloise (my sweet, sunshiny hubby) showed up to teach me how to release my emotions better and more rationally. I really appreciate that Eloise never makes Gray feel badly about himself because he makes mistakes. She is soft with him. Eloise doesn’t let him get away with anything, rather she helps Gray by showing him how to do his feelings and frustrations in a more productive and healthy manner. Gray is able to become a better man because Eloise takes the time to see who he actually is and what he is really dealing with. The world would be a much better place if we were all a little bit like Eloise.

My Lucky Charm is another one of those superior stories where one review could not do this book justice. This endearing and awesomely sweet Romance must be experienced! If you are a fan of perfectly executed Contemporary Romances that will leave you smiling for days, then My Lucky Charm is definitely the book for you!
