I have read the first two books in the Colorado Mountain series The Gamble and Sweet Dreams and found them to be great books.  In fact I gave both of them 5 stars. They feature slightly more mature characters and very manly men.  However I was hesitant to read Lady Luck, the blurb just didn't excite me like the other two books did.  But friends who love Kristen Ashley really liked it so I pushed it up the tbr pile.  Lady Luck follows Ty and Lexie's story.  Ty has just been released from prison where he was incarcerated for a crime he did not commit.  Lexie is a stranger to Ty but she is asked a drug dealing pimp friend of her dead boyfriends to pick him up and take him wherever he wants to go and Lexie agrees.  This is the start to Ty and Lexie's life.  At times it is wonderful and at times it is heartbreaking.I have mentioned before that to really enjoy a Kristen Ashley book you really need to like the characters and I loved Lexie, she is light hearted and fun.  Ty is a different story though.  As one would assume if you have been wrongly imprisoned he is serious and intense and a man of few words.  It was this lack of communication from him which turned me off Ty.  Ms Ashley's alpha heroes do talk usually issuing their manly commands to their women and Ty just didn't do that and I missed it and didn't like it.  I also found this book to be too long.  Not a lot happened in the majority of the book, there appears to be a big ending brewing with Ty trying to clear his name but I found it to be anti-climactic.  This is not my favourite Kristen Ashley book and I am going to give Lady Luck 3 stars.
