Hudson's Luck A Forever Wilde Novel

Lucy Lennox — 2018

Hudson: Don't ever accidentally propose to your girlfriend. In front of her family. Especially if her dad is your boss. Because when you make it clear you've made a mistake, he's likely to send you out of the country to get you as far away from his broken-hearted daughter as possible. It happened to me. Now I'm stuck in Ireland trying to redeem myself so I can get promoted and have the life I've planned for: successful career, loving wife and kids, a comfortable, financially-secure home life in Texas. But all of that seems to evaporate the moment I walk into the historic pub and see the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Only, he's not a woman. Charlie Murray is most definitely a man-the kind of man who causes me to take a second look for the first time in my life. And a third look, and fourth. I can't help but want to get to know him better... to get close to him, touch him, maybe even kiss him. But I'm straight. Or so I've always thought. Even if I'm not, how in the world could a feisty Irishman ever fit into the safe, predictable life I've always planned for? Charlie: Don't ever accidentally fall for the straight guy. Especially when he's trying to pry your family's business right out from under you. I should know. Because when Hudson Wilde walks into my family's pub and begins babbling so adorably, I can't help but fall just a little bit in love. But I'm looking for Forever Man, and the sexy American is certainly not him. He's so confused about what he wants, even choosing something from the dinner menu throws him into a fuddle. But those eyes... how can I resist? So maybe I'll give in. One steamy night before he heads home and I go back to life at the pub. We'll never see each other again. Until, of course, his business deal sends me to Hobie, Texas, right into the middle of Hudson's steady life, more gay Wildes than can fit on a dance floor, and an ex-girlfriend who may or may not be content remaining an ex. But the more time I spend with Hudson, the more I think he might be my Forever Man after all. And I may be his. Is it possible we could both be so lucky? Hudson's Luck is the fourth book in the Forever Wilde series but can be read on its own. Beware it includes 93k words of delicious man parts touching, grandfathers meddling, neighbors nosy-ing, dogs fornicating, cats being cats, horses... ah, crunching apples? or something... and one very flirty Stevie.

I was looking forward to Hudson’s story since book one and it definitely did not disappoint. But as soon as I found out there was gonna be an Irish character and setting involved, I became a bit wary cause I’m too used to having authors go overboard with Irish stereotypes, and also getting absolutely everything wrong about Ireland and it always turns me off the story. But thank the gods I was totally wrong, and clearly Lucy Lennox has either lived in Ireland herself or had the help of someone Irish because (almost) everyone was spot on. She even avoided my two biggest annoyances which is when people call the Irish language “gaelic” (she called it Irish which is what it is) and calling St. Patrick’s day “St. Patty’s” (it’s Paddy’s and she had her characters say that right too) so I was actually able to enjoy this for the incredible book it was without nitpicking on the details. This is a GFY which is something I haven’t read in a while, but still enjoyed. I usually prefer awakenings but I still enjoyed this. There was a load of big shock moments for side characters when they saw Hudson and Charlie together and I love those 😂 the more dramatic the reveal the better. Mostly I just love with a character is so in love around their partner and can’t keep their hands to themselves even though no one else knows and that’s how they end up finding out, and I got a lot of that here. Charlie and Hudson were just so sweet together and I really loved this. They’re my second favourite couple of the series so far, I don’t think anyone with knock Nico and West off the top but Charlie and Hudson are a close second.
