"A charming hero and an ice queen heroine"

Fresh Fiction Review

Luck Be A Lady

Reviewed by Kimia Safavi

Romance Historical

LUCK BE A LADY is the fourth book in the Rules For The Reckless series and can be read as a stand-alone novel. Catherine Everleigh is called the Ice Queen. She is gorgeous, clever, cold and a business woman who is desperate to save her family's auction house from her brother. All she desires is her birthright - the auction house that matters to her. The only way to save her dream is to have a powerful ally. Who better than Nicholas O'Shea, the infamous crime lord. He is powerful and can keep Catherine's brother at bay.

So a marriage of convenience seems her only option and will also benefit Nick who needs to gain Catherine's brother vote in municipal decision to protect Whitechapel, his kind of kingdom.

Can Nick and Catherine keep this convenience marriage business only, or will the charming and handsome devil, Nick, seduce his wife and win her heart?

LUCK BE A LADY is the first book I've read by Meredith Duran and I must say I really enjoy her writing. The main characters are complete opposites: one beautiful, cold and only cares about her business, while the other is a criminal, sweet and cares about his people. But the way the author wrote about what they have been through you couldn't blame the hero and heroine for their personalities. The plot was great and the details keep you entertained not overwhelmed, and their dialogue were witty and charming. I am looking forward to reading more books by Meredith Duran.

SUMMARY

Romance sizzles between a famous heiress and an infamous crime lord in this fourth sexy novel in the Rules for the Reckless series from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Fool Me Twice.

THE WALLFLOWER
They call her the “Ice Queen.” Catherine Everleigh is London’s loveliest heiress, but a bitter lesson in heartbreak has taught her to keep to herself. All she wants is her birthright—the auction house that was stolen from her. To win this war, she’ll need a powerful ally. Who better than infamous and merciless crime lord Nicholas O’Shea? A marriage of convenience will no doubt serve them both.

THE CRIME LORD
Having conquered the city’s underworld, Nick seeks a new challenge. Marrying Catherine will give him the appearance of legitimacy—and access to her world of the law-abiding elite. No one needs to know he’s coveted Catherine for a year now—their arrangement is strictly business, free from the troubling weaknesses of love. Seduction, however, is a different matter—an enticing game he means to ensure she enjoys, whether she wishes to or not. . . .
