The newest erotic romance from bestselling author Opal Carew, Stroke of Luck. Good things do come in threes. April Smith’s luxurious Las Vegas wedding crashed and burned when her wealthy fiancé cheated on her and left her with a hotel bill that costs more than she makes in a year. Even more humiliating, her college ex-boyfriend Quinn Taylor has come to her rescue and bailed her out. They didn’t part on the best of terms and never expected to see one another again. For Quinn, April was the one who got away and despite the heartache she caused him, he’s never gotten over her. Not wanting to be in his debt, April makes Quinn a tempting offer: she’ll spend the next month with him during his Vegas vacation, fulfilling his fantasies. Being with April has always been Quinn’s number one fantasy, and next on the list is sharing a woman with his best friend and business partner, Austin Wright. Since he can see an undeniable attraction between April and Austin, he makes that a condition of their deal, too. Enjoying the attention and affection from two hot and handsome men, April gives in to her desires to be with both of them. But with those desires comes a growing love that she fears may force her to choose between Quinn and Austin—or lose them both.

Okay so: technically, I got what I wanted, which is a light, sexy read. But...idk, I guess this just wasn???t my cup of tea? Didn???t like how controlling one of the male leads was, and definitely didn???t like how meek the female lead was. There were moments when I kept thinking ???That???s a red flag girl, run!???, because what one of the guy leads was doing struck me as super-predatory and manipulative. And the misunderstandings! They were being hand-waved as ???They???re just super-dense! And emotions can complicate things!??? which, yes, true, but I don???t think it was pulled off very well because I wasn???t very convinced by any of it.
sighs Ah well. Maybe it???s just my personal preferences when it comes to romance. Someone else might like this more than I did, but it???s definitely not for me.
This, ooooo, this book! It was a bit of a shocker for me... I picked it based on the cover and ;) title, and had no idea it was a menage a trois romance! That is not what I reach for when I'm looking for some spice, but now, it just might be. It was sweet and spicy, with just the right amount of heat. Don't get me wrong this book was one trope after another, but it was done in such a way that even though I rolled my eyes at EVERYTHING related to the EX-FIANCE, I was also reassured by those hulking muscles owned by not 1 but 2 hunks. Whoa.
Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of enjoyment and laughs I got out of this. April, Quinn and Austin are quite a match.
Thanks to @NetGalley for the advanced readers edition of Stroke of Luck and to Opal Crew and St. Martin's Press for making it available.
