I received a copy of Just My Luck from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!!I LOVE Nyrae Dawn and jumped at the chance to read one of her books written as Kelley Vitollo.  I had NO idea she wrote under a pen name, so it was like discovering a new favorite author.  I have not yet read the previous 2 books in the series.So pretty much, in the first chapter of Just My Luck, you can see how the entire story is going to play out.  That is why it lost one star from me - it was predictable.  However, that being said, I fell in love with the characters and could not put this book down.  I finished in one sitting!  It is told in alternating POV between Betsey and Jace - LOVE this!!  I love getting into both characters' heads!!Jace is the male lead.  He is a super hot, commitment-phobe lawyer. Betsey is the female lead.  She is the product of a rape and her mother is not mentally stable.  She is very shy and uncomfortable around men because of her mother constantly telling her how men are good for nothing and will only hurt you.  So Betsey tries to fall into the background.  She is quiet, dresses kind of frumpy and has a crush on Jace, her boss.Jace discovers that his grandfather put a stipulation in his will that Jace must marry and stay married for 6 months in order to inherit the house that he and his deceased parents grew up in.  This house means the world to him, so he asks Betsey to help him with his predicament.  He overhears that she needs money for something and will pay her for her help.  Betsey agrees because she needs the money for her mom's facility and would do anything to help Jace.At the end of chapter one, I rolled my eyes a little and thought, oh no, I've read this before.  However, the author had me turning the pages.  She connected me to the characters.  I loved discovering who Betsey really was without all of her mother's issues.  And I loved discovering who Jace really was underneath his polished veneer.  Half way through the book I wanted to slam their heads together and say, "This was supposed to be predictable!!  Open your eyes and tell each other how you really feel!!" The characters pulled on my heart, I laughed and cried! And I couldn't wait to find out how they reach their HEA.I want me some Jace!!!  He was smokin hot and adorable at the same time.So, if you're looking for a light, romantic read, Just My Luck will not disappoint!!!
