Lady Luck was a hard book at times to read. Not because it wasn't well written, it was. It was hard for me to read because it is sad to realize that hatred and bigotry still exists in this country. It was well written, I loved the characters. And I'm looking forward to reading more about the small town of Carnal, Colorado in the rest of the series.This book tells the story of Ty, who is bi-racial. He has been set up by the small minded, bigots of the police force in his small mountain town. He has served a five year prison sentence for a crime he did not commit in a state he's never been to. All because of the color of his skin. And a police chief who is as bad as they come.On the flip side of this coin, is Lexie. She has been sent to pick Ty up from prison. She has been living in her own prison of sorts after the death of her boyfriend. Now she finds herself tied to a man her boyfriend was in business with, who is not looking out for her best interest, but looking for ways he can use her to benefit himself. Now she has been given to Ty, as payback, and told to do whatever he tells her to do.Even though Ty scares the daylights out of Lexie, she finds herself attracted to him, and goes along with his plans for vengeance, because Ty has promised to get her away from "Slick" and set her up in a new life. But first she must agree to marry him and play his wife, while he sets his plan in motion. This does not seem like such a hardship, considering she will be spending more time with the super sexy Ty.  He has shown he has a soft spot, can be kind and generous. Until he's not. Then Lexie sees a side of Ty that brings her reality crashing down all around her.This was a great story. Two people, growing up with nothing, finally finding each other, healing each other. And loving each other, only seeing the good, and never the color of their skin, only what lives in each of their hearts. The story of a man who has great friends, a woman who loves him, and the townsfolk who know who the good guys truly are.
