Welcome to Fortune, Colorado—where the air is clean, the men are rugged, and the all the good ones… are bachelors.

Born into the infamous Charlemagne equestrian empire, Shannon has been raised to do whatever it takes for the family business. Even if it means going undercover and digging up dirt on a competitor. It's easy enough when she believes he's a bad guy whose success seems too good to be true. In fact, Shannon's excited to put the aggravatingly sexy Irishman in his place and get back in her father's good graces. All she needs is to stay focused on the goal… and out of Sean Muldoon's arms.

From stealing a thoroughbred racehorse from the Irish mob to striking gold in the mountains of Colorado, there's little Sean hasn't experienced. But when it comes to resisting his hot new stable manager, he's out of luck. With the mob hot on his heels, keeping Shannon off their radar is all but impossible, and he's not about to put her in danger too. Sean wants Shannon, but how can he offer her a future… when he can't even guarantee tomorrow?

Kassiah: This is kind of a fun twist in what we’re used to seeing in that the girl is the one who decides to infiltrate the “enemy’s” camp. When Shannon’s family name is in trouble, she decides to get a job at the competition’s ranch to catch them in their suspected cheating. When she gets the job, she totally doesn’t expect enemy number one Sean to be so honorable, not to mention so hot. Sparks were flying from the moment they met.

Sean was the star here. With his sexy accent and muscles, he stole the show. I liked the other characters well enough. There were a lot of problems, though. I would think first and foremost that a ranch of this caliber would be running background checks on their employees and don’t even get me started on the evidence that Shannon supposedly uncovers. But what absolutely ruined this book for me was the ending. And that’s pretty much all I have to say about that, besides that it was way to rushed and kind of ridiculous.

Getting Lucky needs more character development and a tighter storyline to live up to its potential.
