Publisher Description
Treat yourself to an "outrageously sexy" (Entertainment Weekly), "fabulously fun" (Jill Shalvis) second-chance romance from the New York Times bestselling queen of hockey romance!
Lilah isn't sure what hurt worse: the day Ethan left her to focus on his hockey career or the day he came back eight years later. He might think they can pick up just where they left off, but she's no longer that same girl and never wants to be again.
Ethan wants his glory days back. And that includes having Lilah by his side. With her, he was magic. They were magic. All he has to do is make her see that.
Just when Lilah might finally be ready to let Ethan in, though, she finds out their reunion might have nothing to do with love and everything to do with improving his game. But Ethan's already lost her once, and even if it costs him his career, he'll do anything to keep from losing her again.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Novelist Helena Hunting knows how to keep us turning pages. Her signature warmth and risqué wit is on full display in The Good Luck Charm, a sexy, sweet take on first loves and second chances. One of our very favorite things about this charming romp is the dueling perspectives of the book’s delightfully imperfect central characters, Lilah and Ethan. The pair’s drive to succeed is matched only by their unbridled passion for each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hunting (Getting Down) sparkles in this well-plotted contemporary about a struggling and superstitious hockey player, his devastated ex-lover, and the hope and joy of second chances. Just after NHL player Ethan Kase is traded from Chicago to his home state of Minnesota, his cantankerous father has a stroke and Ethan comes face-to-face with his biggest regret: Delilah Jane, the childhood sweetheart he abandoned eight years earlier. Now a nurse in their hometown of Forest Lake, Lilah sees Ethan's father being admitted to the hospital and knows that Ethan's arrival won't be far behind. Ethan knows that breaking up with Lilah was the biggest mistake he ever made, but he begins trying to woo her back. But having been abandoned first by her father and then by Ethan, Lilah's not sure she wants to try again especially when she finds out Ethan may just see her as a good luck charm. Hunting imbues her characters, especially Lilah, with quick wit and enjoyable depth, and the curveball she throws into the plot at the end is truly surprising, yet believable. Lively supporting characters, including Lilah's sassy sister, Carmen, add fun to the mix. Readers will hope for a return to Forest Lake.

A hockey story to end all hockey stories but with a beautiful love story entwined!
A hockey story to end all hockey stories but with a beautiful love story entwined!
There was so much I thoroughly enjoyed about this book! It was very down to earth, it had characters that touched my heart, words that made me feel and a part that really hit home for me as well!
I loved Lilah and Ethan, high school sweethearts that had 8 years missing from then to now and this book had them going through alot but also showed how well they were together!
Can Lilah get over the past and forgive Ethan or do they both lose a worthy love! You just have to read it for yourself to learn what happens between them, their families and their jobs!
I must say though I thought Ethan was very swoonworthy, he said and did little things that will make your heart pitter patter!
Good luck charm
A second chance romance that follows Ethan (a pro hockey player) and Lilah (a nurse) who haven’t seen each other since Ethan broke up with Lilah eight years ago. Now he is back in town and looking to rekindle their relationship.
I enjoyed the whole aspect of getting caught up in love and making sacrifices to help out your partner that might not be the best for you. Learning how to put boundaries in place and learning to enforce them when it might not be in your nature to do that.
The conversation Ethan’s dad had with him regarding people who are carers by nature was an important lesson for him to learn.
Also the spice was hot so ;)

Fun sweet second chance romance
I’m really not sure where to begin I love Helena Hunting’s Pucked Series but The Good Luck Charm blew me away and has become one my favourite reads from this very talented author because let’s be honest what’s not to love about a sweet second chance romance set in the world of hockey.
Lilah and Ethan grew up together but when it came to choosing his career or Lilah his father convinced him to choose his career so he broke up with the only girl who has even stolen a piece of his heart. Lilah has still remained close to Ethan’s Family they are more like parents to her than her own have ever been but the night she finds out Ethan’s father has had a stroke she also finds out Ethan has been traded back to their home town hockey team will she allow him back into the heart he broke once before or will she keep her heart safely locked away .....
I loved Lilah and Ethan the chemistry and banter between them was perfect, the story was believable and as always the writing was flawless. The Good Luck Charm is a fun, sweet steamy read that has plenty going on to keep you turning the pages.
