My Rating: 4 of 5 Stars

 

“Do you feel this, the way my heart beats for you? I’ve waited all my life for this kind of rhythm.”

I love Leaona Luxx’s books. She’s an extremely talented author whose books I one-click without question. Leaona Luxx has the ability to draw a reader in by layering a compelling plot, realistic and loveable characters, passion, intrigue and so much more. Leaona Luxx’s books never fail to leave me glued to my seat and she manages to pull a range of emotions from me with each new book. Not only have I seen tremendous growth in her writing abilities with each new book she writes, but I find myself connecting more with her characters and the stories are more compelling. Luci’s Lullaby is one story that I was highly anticipating since we met Alden in Collision – now titled Finding Redemption—where he was the elusive best friend to the heroine. Also, with a cover as stunning as this one, who wouldn’t want to dive into the story of a man that gorgeous?

Luci’s Lullaby was a beautiful second chance romance. I always one-click Leaona Luxx’s work before I read blurbs or reviews because she’s just one of those authors who I know I will sit down and get lost in her stories… and I totally did with Luci’s Lullaby. However, after I finished the book, I happened to read the blurb. This is one time that I found something to be slightly misleading since it implied something regarding the parentage of Luci that was, in fact, not the case. It’s minor and I only mention it in so far as to say I wouldn’t classify the book as a single dad romance. I think Leaona Luxx did an amazing job connecting readers with the emotions inherent in this story. I won’t post spoilers, so I’ll have to remain vague here but suffice is to say you will definitely experience an emotional overload. I think the story was fun and angsty, super sexy and well written. Leaona wrote beautiful characters and I loved the chemistry between Charlee and Alden, which was smoking hot! I thought she did a fantastic job of shifting perspectives between Charlee and Alden. And the overall pace of the book fit the storyline well. Also, we get cameos of the characters who we know and love from the previous books written by Leaona Luxx.

I loved Luci’s Lullaby and yet it would be remiss of me to give it a full 5 stars in light of a few mistakes. First, there were a number of errors (typos, spelling, grammatical, punctuation, etc) and while I would expect this with an uncorrected ARC, I was reading the published version. Additionally, I found some timeline inconsistencies that made me struggle with a few parts of the story. As I said, I genuinely loved Luci’s Lullaby so it truly pains me not to give Leaona Luxx a full 5-star review. Obviously, I will continue to read Luxx’s books and will likely even reread this one. Regardless of the errors I found, the story, characters, drama, and heat still made for an outstanding romance that I highly recommend.
