The CEO's Lucky Charm by Stella Marie AldenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The CEO’s Lucky Charm by Stella Marie Alden is a continuation of her previous novel The CEO’s Valentine. Main characters are Isabella Harte, Grayson Patten and Xavier Cross. This is an extremely fast moving novel just as was the previous story so if you haven’t read Valentine first I would read it first just to be able to keep up.
Isabella Harte works for Grayson Patten and they fall in love in The CEO’s Valentine. Xavier Cross is Isabella’s boss and has embezzled money from the company. In Valentine he tries to kill Isabella and Grayson and disappear with the money. In Lucky Charm he is back and blackmailing Isabella into taking the fall for the stolen money.
Lucky Charm is the 2nd book I’ve read by Stella Marie Alden and both really failed to grab my attention in a good way. Lucky Charm was written in a very fast paced style (as Valentine was) and just ended the main story ¾ of the way through. I had to go back and check if I’d missed something along the way but the story just jumped to the HEA without resolution.
I did enjoy the family interaction when Isabella and Grayson (along with Slate who deserves his own story if he hasn’t had one already) headed to her hometown and met with her extended family. I also enjoyed the interaction between Slate and Grayson in both novels.
Not having read any other books by this author I don’t know if this is the standard format for her writing or if it is just for this series, either way I’m confused and left unsatisfied. I know I am not going to like every single author or novel but it really hurts to write a review reflecting that. I received an advance ebook without expectations for review, all opinions expressed are my own. If interested, please see my other review for The CEO’s Valentine.
