Release Blitz: How To Get Lucky: Lauren Blakely and Joe Arden
HOW TO GET LUCKY by Lauren Blakely & Joe Arden
A sexy standalone romance written by #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely and Award-Winning Romance Narrator Joe Arden!
Every man knows there are lines you don't cross. Like this one -- don't bang your boss's little sister.
Too bad I didn't know sexy, clever, irresistible London is related to the guy who signs my paychecks. Would have been helpful to have that intel before I took her out on that first date, before I kissed her on the beach, before I made plans to take her home that night.
But now I know and I'm going to be so damn disciplined. I'm a good guy, after all. And good guys don't break the golden rules of the bro code. I'm going to follow the f&*k out of all the rules. I won't break a single damn one.
Even when London asks me to help her with a work project. One that has us working late every night, all alone, in my tiny apartment.
One that tests every ounce of willpower I have.
One that is driving me out of my ever loving mind.
But I resist.
Until the night she issues a challenge I can't refuse.
Teddy thinks of himself as a good and honest guy. It is hard for him to resist London and he is still willing to help her when asked. And when she throws down a challenge, he is ready, willing, and able to show her that good guys do finish last (right after the woman). But can a good guy break all the rules and still be considered the good guy?
This is a sweet, snappy, sexy rom-com with an adorable wanna-be couple and a bunch of fun side characters that just draw you in and make you smile(even their dogs are cute). It is about Teddy figuring out what he wants to really do with his life and what he needs to be happy. And it is also London's chance to prove herself as well. I loved their fun banter, hot chemistry, shared interests, and just how supportive and appreciative they could be of each other. There is a whole forbidden element, but overall it is a low angst and totally enjoyable story of two truly likable people unexpectedly finding some good luck in love.
Teddy is building his reputation as DJ Insomnia, working a radio show, at a nightclub, and building a growing side business he hopes will one day be his main gig. His bread and butter for now comes from the nightclub, where he has developed a close knit group of friends and some great contacts. He knows the nightclub is good steady work for now, but he has goals that will have him leaving the club at some point, if he can take a chance on himself.
London is excited for the change to choreograph a new show at The Edge, and is spending time at the club to get a feel for the vibe of their very popular men’s review in order to create an equally fantastic show for ladies.
The sparks fly and they have a quick connection when they meet, moving speedily to first date territory. But the fantastic chemistry and all the shared interests can’t stop the brakes being pulled when Teddy learns London is his boss’s little sister. He’s been burned crossing lines between business and romance, and he isn’t keen to repeat that mistake anytime soon.
These two have great chemistry. They have so many shared interests that it quickly moves beyond attraction and into genuine interest and friendship. They just click! Though Teddy has his reasons for wanting to keep things platonic, it is hard to resist when they are perfect in every other way.
Things were so perfect, that this felt like a lovely slow burn with very few bumps in the road. There was very little drama, leaving all the enjoyment of their building relationship. It was sweet and sexy, friendly and feisty. I loved the intro to the Edge crew, with their large personalities and strong confidence. They each made fun side characters in this story, and the potential for each of their stories has me wanting to come back to this world again and again. 
Teddy Lockhart aka known as DJ Insomnia spins tunes at a male revue and radio show as well as working on getting his new deejay business off the ground. Even though he is around an environment that oozes sex, his own experiences have not been that adventurous due to a long term relationship and then a bad breakup about a year ago that cost him more than just the girl. Now he would like to get lucky and maybe sow some wild oats he never had the chance to.
London Hollis appears in his life unexpectedly. She is sassy, sarcastic, sweet, and they have a lot in common. They have witty and flirty banter about shared interests. They enjoy each other's company and share a hot kiss, until he finds out news that makes it a really bad idea and puts her in the off-limits category.
