Reviews for Lucky Penny

[leighannewrites · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good story and premise. Not one of my favorites by CA, but still very decent. Daphne, the six year old child was very cute in here though. Not a lot of authors can incorporate children in romance books very well but CA pulled it off. The romance lacked very much in Lucky Penny. The hate-to-love relationship started out very well, but the blooming romance and tension just wasn't there for me.

3 Stars, Good historical novel, but...LUCKY PENNYby Catherine AndersonThe author writes good historical novels, but I don't care for the interjected expletives throughout. In this particular novel, David, the leading male does cuss a lot, but there are vulgar sayings interspersed at unexpected times. The novel would be a perfect 5 stars without the vulgarities.David, a confirmed bachelor received a bundle of letters from Brianna, the single mother of Daphne who works constantly to support herself and her daughter. In the letters, Brianna and Daphne beg David to come to rescue them from their poor circumstances, claiming that David is the husband and father of the two females. The only problem is David doesn't recall ever getting married or fathering a child. He determines to rectify that, so his ladies don't suffer from his neglect. #luckypenny #historicalseries

Have enjoyed this series very much, and Catherine Anderson is one of my favorite historical romance writer, but this one was a disappointment. Hope that the author gives the last brother in the series more thought and can make it as interesting as the first three.
