TITLE: ⟫ Lucky or Knot
AUTHOR: ⟫ Eliot Grayson
SERIES: ⟫ Fortune Favors the Fae Book #14
RATING: ⟫ 4/5
BLURB: ⟫ Out of money and down on his luck in a city that promised him a run of both, Tony turns to the one asset he knows he can sell: his honed, toned, dangerous alpha body, which looks surprisingly good covered in glitter.
Well, not sell, exactly—that’s a line Tony won’t cross. Display? Gyrate? Flex? Whatever. It pays his bills, and that’s all that matters.
But one payment comes due sooner than expected, and when a slim, unearthly fae customer who can’t seem to take his gleaming eyes off of Tony’s…assets…presents him with the timely opportunity to make a little extra? Tony finds that he’s willing to cross that line after all.
The golden coin Raven offers is enough to settle Tony’s debts. And the way Raven takes what Tony gives him in return is enough for Tony to wish he’d offered himself for free.
But when the sun rises, Raven’s gone—along with the coin.
And Tony isn’t the kind of guy to let things go. Especially not when they belong to him…
This book takes place in the same universe as the Mismatched Mates series. Cameos may occur, but no previous reading is required. There is referenced domestic abuse, but it takes place off page and is not between the main characters. HEA guaranteed!
Lucky or Knot is a part of the multi-author series, Fortune Favors the Fae. From spicy to sweet, zany romps to epic adventures, there’s something for everyone in this mystical series. Discover destiny and true love and follow the coin on its fickle journey to the next world and a new magical adventure.
REVIEW: ⟫ Well zany romp seems to be exactly the right way to describe this book. From the very beginning of the story where we meet Tony getting ready to go on stage and dance, this story was very much tongue-in-cheek. The things a poor weretiger has to do to keep a roof over his head and the loan-shark away from his parents – life is tough! Then a delicious smelling Fae is making him an offer he can’t refuse and Tony finds himself falling head over heels into trouble – like bigger than loan-shark trouble.
As with the general fated mates trope, this is very much an insta-love kinda story, but it also was really interesting the way that Raven fell for Tony. It was so obvious that this wasn’t what he wanted – he was trying to get out of a life-long commitment, not find himself another one – yet he showed he cared for Tony in many different ways. I also found it touching how the author managed to convey some of the fear and pain that Raven was going through without going into too much detail.
A sleepless night and this was a lovely, relaxing read to (hopefully) set me up for a lazy day, and now I need to go and find Mismatched Mates Book #10 because apparently I didn’t read that one!
