Synopsis:

Emma

When my best friend Aubrey asked me to tag along to an event with her, I never could have imagined that it would be the day that my life changed forever.

He’s arrogant and demanding and doesn’t take a hint. Landon Barker, the quarterback for the Hermosa Beach Trojans, is a player on and off of the field. He’s got his sights set on me as his next play, but I see right through him. Aubrey says I’m overreacting, that I should give him a chance. What she doesn’t realize is men like Landon don’t fall for the girl next door. That’s not reality. She got her fairytale, although it was a long road. Not all of us are that lucky.

Landon

She’s a friend of our new kicking coach’s wife. When I ask Chance for her number, he tells me I have to find a way to get it myself.

Nothing when it comes to Emma has been easy. She’s the first woman ever to turn me down, and that won’t do. However, as time passes, it’s about more than that. It’s about her smile, her laugh, and just spending time with her. She thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. What she doesn’t know is that I play to win, and her heart is the ultimate trophy.

About Lucky Bastard:

Swoony and slightly egotistical quarterback, Landon Barker, is about to face the fight of his life, getting the reluctant Emma to go on a date with him.

Emma is the girl next door. When she gives herself to a man, she expects to give herself fully, heart and soul, and she expects her future man to give himself fully to her. She isn’t about to fall to the charm that is Landon barker. Falling for the Trojan’s QB will result in nothing but a broken heart for her and a notch on his bedpost. The ball is in her court. She’s going to make Landon work for her, and she’s going to make it a fight he’s never fought before.

My Thoughts:

Oh my lord!!! Landon is everything I love about a Kaylee Ryan hero! He’s swoony and sexy, but underneath all that ego is a sweet and sensitive side. I loved the fact that this hero puts all his cards on the table and fights for what he wants. In this case he wants Emma and he’s willing to go to battle for her. My god, how is it possible to fall for a fictional character! Every damn time I find myself swoony and swept off my feet. This man may just be my favorite hero of Kaylee’s! I couldn’t get enough!

Emma may have also stolen a piece of my heart! This woman is fierce when it comes to protecting her heart. But some battles are meant to be fought and are meant to be lost. That’s how fate works. Emma puts up one hell of a fight, but it’s nothing compared to Landon’s swoon factor.

Overall, I loved EVERYTHING about Lucky Bastard. I loved these two together. I loved the chemistry and the connection these two share and in the end my heart felt every single moment. I was sad to see this story end, but what a way to go!! I need more heroes like Landon and more heroine’s like Emma in my life!! You all are in for a treat!!! Lucky Bastard by Kaylee Ryan was everything I thought it would be… and so much more! Landon brings the swoon and Emma brings the feisty girl next door vibes in this novel. A definite MUST READ!
