Convoluted plot

I stopped trying to follow the plot a little way in. I only finished it because I usually finish books I start.

Poker players should enjoy this.

I'm a big fan of two of Jana DeLeon's series, Miss Fortune and Shaye Archer, and have read some of her other standalones. Unlucky is one of those and I'm sorry to say I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as the others. First of all, there was far too much poker talk and I'm not a card player so it was all over my head.

The other problem I had with it was the paranormal aspect. I'm just not a fan of that genre.

Overall, it was a decent summertime listen, just not up to her standard.

Awesome read

Loved the story. Enjoyed all of the author’s writing. She just can’t write fast enough.

Not up to my expectations

I’m was disappointed in the story as whole. The lead characters were bland not interesting

Disappointed

Disappointed with all the sex. If I wanted that type of book I would choose some other author with no imagination who need to fill blank pages to get there word count minimum.

Just meh

I love the author but struggled to finish this one. It was a little disappointing.

Average

The story did not hold my attention. The sex scenes are way too predictable . This is my least favorite JDL book.

Funny and cute

This was entertaining start to finish. I laughed several times throughout. Highly recommend, and it didn’t matter that I don’t know how to play poker.

Pushed through it...

It was an easy listen, not too exciting. Characters were cute and well developed. The romance though was too overwhelming, not written well, and took away from the story not complimented it. To add to the slow story the narrators voice dragged it out even more. Think I will stick to the miss fortune series.

Cheesy

Cheesy plot lines. completely too many twists and turns that were totally not interesting and made no sense with the story line
