Guest Review: Lucky Girl – Cate Lord

Jessica Devlin isn’t looking for love. Heartbroken after being dumped by her unfaithful ex-fianc, she’s determined to have a fabulous time during her vacation in England where she’ll be maid-of-honor at her cousin’s wedding. After working overtime as beauty editor of Orlando’s O Tart magazine, avoiding dating, and putting on ten pounds, Jess is ready to toss her past like an empty lipstick tube and party like a single gal. But when she steps into the church on her cousin’s wedding day, she sees the one man who could sabotage her plan–James-Bond-gorgeous Nick Mondinello. She’s never forgotten the London marketing exec who held her in his arms after her beloved grandfather’s funeral two years ago. Ambitious, and lusted after by women everywhere, Nick is completely wrong for guarded, Plain Jane Jess.

Could Spy Man Nick ever fall for her? Nope. Not unless Jess is one lucky girl.

Reviewer’s Thoughts:

Jess is a lovable main character, many of us can identify with her struggle to accept her curves and be a confident, competent woman. Most readers will also relate to having their heart broken like Jess too!

Thank God for Nick the Sex God!

This was a cute, mostly lighthearted story–just my style. Kind of Bridget Jones-ish, like many are saying, although the “fantasy sequences” contained in this book weren’t relayed quite as well as in  Bridget Jones. Still, it was very entertaining, fun and sexy. It also had a nice neat ending which I enjoy! There could be more to the story though. I wouldn’t mind a follow-up to see what becomes of Jess and her adventures.
