Release Blitz + Review: "How to Get Lucky" by Lauren Blakely and Joe Arden

Congratulations to Lauren Blakely and Joe Arden, whose first co-written book, "How to Get Lucky," is live a week early! 

 

This funny, charming story featured incredibly likeable main characters in choreographer London Hollis and DJ Teddy Lockhart, a pair of adorable dogs, Jane Austen references galore, and tons of flirty, witty banter. London and Teddy's relationship moved relatively quickly, but its growth always felt natural to me. I appreciated that they spent so much time having real conversations and getting to know one another before taking things to the next level. The slow burn amplified the chemistry between them that had been obvious from the start, and it was totally worth the wait when they finally acted on their feelings.

The book's secondary characters were every bit as likeable as Teddy and London themselves, and I would love if Blakely and Arden decided to write follow up stories for a few of them. My favorites were London's brother Archer and Teddy's friend Sam, both of whom worked with Teddy at Edge nightclub. 
 

Overall, I very much enjoyed "How to Get Lucky" and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I hope Blakely and Arden will collaborate on additional stories in the future.

About "How to Get Lucky"

A sexy standalone romance written by #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely and Award-Winning Romance Narrator Joe Arden!

Every man knows there are lines you don't cross. Like this one -- don't bang your boss's little sister.

Too bad I didn't know sexy, clever, irresistible London is related to the guy who signs my paychecks. Would have been helpful to have that intel before I took her out on that first date, before I kissed her on the beach, before I made plans to take her home that night.

But now I know and I'm going to be so damn disciplined. I'm a good guy, after all. And good guys don't break the golden rules of the bro code. I'm going to follow the f&*k out of all the rules. I won't break a single damn one.

Even when London asks me to help her with a work project. One that has us working late every night, all alone, in my tiny apartment.

One that tests every ounce of willpower I have.

One that is driving me out of my ever loving mind.

But I resist.

Until the night she issues a challenge I can't refuse.
