My Lucky Charm

This book, y’all. I’m sitting here contemplating how else to say that this book was simply incredible. It was that good! 



I’ll just list some things that I loved. 


  1. It had the BEST meet-cute. Eloise was full-on over sharing and awkward. Gray was…well, that leads me to number 2 
  2. Gray was the grumpiest grump in a grumpy-sunshine trope. I enjoyed every minute of it. Sure-he may have had his reasons. But this character was written so well that I fully believe Eloise may not break his wall down. That is until…
  3. We see a side of him that made me melt. He shows his softer side through his actions, and Eloise gets a front row seat to the crack in his rough exterior. 
  4. This is one reason I really enjoy a Dual POV. You get a glimpse into the reasons behind their actions. This book did that really well. I felt everything each character was feeling. The joy, the grumpiness, the confusion, the possibilities, the angst, the anger, the flutters of new love, all of it! 
  5. Hockey. Need I say more? I will. I’ll say more. I, for one, am thankful for this hockey romance trend. It makes my Mighty Duck movie loving teenage heart so happy. I lived and breathed those movies and I didn’t realize I needed it in a book until the first book in this series, My Phony Valentine. 🏒🥅⛸️
  6. I adore all of the side characters. The Hart sisters. The hockey teammates. They add so much dimension to the books. 
  7. The depth in the midst of the romance. Courtney Walsh writes happy books. And I am so thankful she does. There are days when my brain can’t take anymore heaviness and heartbreak. But that doesn’t mean she writes fluffy books with no meaning. I fully enjoy the well-balanced stories behind the characters and their development. I adore the fact that I know I’m going to close this book on a happy ending, but also that the journey there will be full.


My Lucky Charm by Courtney Walsh was just the book I needed. It’s a grumpy/sunshine, opposites attract, hockey romance.
