Lucky Leap Day
Lucky Leap Day is just such a fun, hilarious, and delightful romcom!
Synopsis: After one-too-many whiskeys, fledgling screenwriter Cara Kennedy takes a page out of someone else’s script when she gets caught up in the Irish tradition of women proposing on Leap Day. She thought she might have dreamt everything, until she wakes the next morning with a hot guy in her bed and a tin foil ring on her finger. Her flight is in four hours, her clothes are all over the room, and she has the most important meeting of her career in exactly two days—and on top of everything else, her husband has a dog who thinks Cara is a perfect surrogate mother, despite the fact that she has never been much of an animal lover…
Deciding to work things out stateside, Finn and her new fur baby accompany her to LA, where Finn spends his days going on auditions and his nights charming his new bride, leaving Cara to wonder whether this is real love, or if Finn is another aspiring actor just after her Hollywood connections? With limited time on his tourist visa, will Finn be able to convince Cara that she’s the right girl for him, or will time run out on their Hollywood ending?
What appealed to you the most in this story?
From the very beginning this book had me laughing out loud and I absolutely love a story that gives me a good laugh.
I also fell in love with the atmospheric writing. It was like getting to travel to Ireland and California in the story. The whole time it felt like I was right there in the story seeing and taking in all the sights.
How was the romance:
This is quite the well written and sweet insta-love story that had me rooting for Cara and Finn from the beginning! Now, some of the situations and decisions made are a tiny bit far-fetched (I mean who doesn’t want to bring a new sexy husband home from vacation), but this makes a romcom a “romcom”, and it all worked really well and made for a fun and charming story about finding the joys in life.
Steam level: PG-13 Closed Door …And boy is Finn swoon worthy!
How was the pace?
Boy did I fly though this fast-paced and entertaining story. I even read it in a single day!
Do you recommend this book?
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun, sweet, and fast paced romcom!
