Eloise is a little too much. She opens her heart to everyone without thinking about the consequences. She is eager to help. She is a little clumsy. And she has just been burned in a relationship with her nasty boss. So when her friend suggests finding a stranger to kiss on New Year's, she just goes for it. Two weeks later, when the same man shows up at her family dinner, and she realizes she is his new personal assistant, she knows she is in trouble! Sparks fly in this romance about a sweet gal and a very grumpy hockey player. I loved El & Gray's story. I could not put it down!

This is such a sweet grumpy/sunshine, hockey romance. Eloise is for the girls who have ever felt like they need to tone themselves down in order to be loved. She puts her whole heart into everything and sees the best in everything. Gray is extremely grumpy but really just needs someone to show him that its okay to be happy.
These characters were so sweet together and I loved the way they loved each other exactly as they were.

Read this book if you like:
-grumpy/sunshine
-hockey romances
-single dad
-low angst
-slow burn

I have been in a bit of a reading slump this month. But this book cured that problem, well it also made me sad that I finished it so quickly but it was so good. My Lucky Charm is the second book in Courtney Walsh’s Holidays with Hart and I finished the book in one day.
Eloise was just the sweetest and a breath of fresh air. I loved her cheerfulness and her positivity. Gray was just the grumpiest and yet perfect match for Eloise. I loved reading about them together and how they interacted. The romance was so sweet.
I really liked the growth of the characters as they learned more about themselves. Both Eloise and Gray had to work through their own personal issues before they were truly able to love each other. It was sweet to read about them falling in love and seeing each other in different lights. Gray kept Elosie grounded while Eloise helped Gray see the light in the world.
The romance was perfect and I was drawn into the story. I adored the side characters, they really added to the story. The hockey team and Elosie’s family were so fun and I loved the interactions. I am super excited for the next book and I hope that the rest of the team get their own books too.
My Lucky Charm is definitely a must read and I would totally recommend it! The characters had my heart and I was drawn into the story from the start. It had the first mix of romance, realness, and character growth. It needs to be on your TBR. My Lucky Charm is a closed door romantic comedy.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion, I was not required to write a positive review.

This book was just so much fun! I would describe it as a perfect lighthearted romance that is both sweet and playful! Eloise’s character reminds me of Jess from New Girl -- a little goofy but in the absolute best way possible and Gray is lovable despite his “[rudeness] while processing.” The chemistry between them is fantastic and made the story so fun to read!

My Lucky Charm is the second book in the Holidays with Hart series by Coutney Walsh and although I am now out of order I will absolutely be going back to read My Phony Valentine! What could be better than another sweet hockey romance!!!

For the most part, this was a delightful cute book.
I didn't much care for the style of writing, but there were still some things that I enjoyed and laughed out loud at.
Some people you can't change. Or can you?
When I came across Grayson Hawk, I thought he was all of those things that were described about him. Just wow!
Reminds me of my mother in law.

This book was so much cute! It’s book two but I believe it can be enjoyed as a standalone.
This book starts with Eloise kissing a stranger in a bar on New Year’s Eve. A couple weeks later, she is hired to be an assistant to the new recently traded star hockey player, Gray. Gray happens to be the stranger from the bar.

Eloise is the little Hart sister. She’s a positive ray of sunshine. She doesn’t have big career aspirations. She just wants a happy life with a happy family. She’s been through it though. She’s had some terrible relationships in the past and she’s finding that maybe she trusts people with her heart a little too much.
Gray is the opposite. A man of so very little words. Closed off to the max. The grumpiest of grumps. Trust no one. He was just traded to a new team so he’s in a new town with no family or friends and he’s refusing to even try to make an effort to connect with anyone.

I think my favorite thing about both books in this series are the way the female characters are written. I loved Poppy in the first one and I loved Eloise in this. Eloise is the kind of person that makes everyone feel a little more comfortable when you’re in the room with them. She’s incredibly genuine. She talks. A lot. More importantly though, she listens. She knows just what everyone around her needs to be happy. I really really liked her.

Gray was harder to like. At first. There’s a part in this book where he sends the thumbs up response in a text exchange with Eloise, not once but twice! That is the equivalent to texting ‘K’. If I was Eloise I would have been ready to throw hands just for that. Something happens later in the book though that changes everything. You learn a lot about his past and you understand him more. I really liked him by the end. He was terrible with words but better with actions. And like Eloise, he listens and pays attention.

This book was a lot of fun! It will make you smile and feel all gooey inside. What more could you ask for in a romcom book?! It’s a slow burn and I love it! Eloise and Gray are perfect for each other.
I highly recommend if you like a closed door, low angst romcom with a dose of family drama.

Eloise has a new job as assistant to the reluctant Gray. Will be let her in? Can't wait for the next books in this series.

WHAT IS IT WITH ME AND HOCKEY ROMANCES? It’s like drugs, I swear. This was a DELIGHTFUL grumpy/sunshine romance. I devoured this book in one sitting, and I loved every second. Not spicy at all, but still so sweet. If you love Sarah Adams books, you will adore this. (It’s nice to have a non spicy hockey romance.)

Eloise and Gray are fantastic main characters. Total opposite ends of the spectrum, but getting to know the both of them and watch them grow, beautiful experience.

It’s a sweet hockey romance I would 100% read again.

One of my favourite types of romance books are sports romances and this book did not disappoint. This book had me smiling from start to finish and I honestly could not put it down. I read My Lucky Charm in one sitting as I was engaged in the story as it was different to books I have read before. I love a good Grumpy X Sunshine romance and i felt like it was done really well in this book. Gray is your typical grump but once you get to know him you will absolutely fall in love with his character and Eloise is the definition of a sunshine character. The two characters fit so well with each other. This is the first time reading a book by this author and I loved every second of it. If you are into romance books that make you laugh out loud and are also wholesome then this book is definitely for you!!! 5 stars !
