This is a historical romance novel with the main character being Isha Elmwood. She is the only one to actually see Mr. Bad luck. Although, Mr. Bad luck can be such a real thing in all of our lives. You know when you go out on a date and spill something at the table like your glass of water?! It spills everywhere, making a mess and creating an embarrassing moment. Or you get a run in your panty hose and it drives you nuts as you are self-conscious during a date and wish it did not run?! Oh why me! That is what Isha says, and that is what I say when all I want is for things to be perfect whether on a date, at college, or with my friends! In the end what you will be surprised about is that often times these tiny messages of Mr. Bad Luck can be a blessing in disguise! I enjoyed this fast read and would recommend it for a rainy day read for anyone who likes a little mystery and a whole lot of fun and entertainment. © 2014 Jackie Paulson… (mer)

I had no idea this was the third book in the series. I'm going to have to see if I can figure out what the first two books are.

I really liked Marshall. Right from the beginning I liked how he was willing to admit his mistakes and look at problems from a different perspective. When Athena shows him that his way of thinking isn't necessarily the best way, he's willing to consider her point of view - and even revise his. It isn't often a man - especially an alpha-hero - is willing to do that.

Athena I'm not as sure about. Unlike Marshall, she wasn't willing to bend. She's convinced her way is the right way and refuses to consider other possibilities. For much of the book her attitude annoyed me. While I understood that she'd been hurt and was mostly acting out as a way to protect herself, but I think she went too far with it. Her only saving grace is that she realized her mistakes.
