This was my first Wendy Owens book and it certainly won't be my last. This is book 3 of the Stubborn Love series but can be read as a standalone. The Luckiest sees MacKenzie Phillips having endured enough tragedy and heartbreak that would cripple most people. By 21 she's a  widow and has lost her baby girl Katie.... How do you go on??? You hide away, shut yourself off and avoid the world then nothing bad can happen, no one can hurt you or leave you heartbroken. Mac copes for three years like this until the Grim Reaper resurfaces and she has to find a job and become self sufficient.Fate literally causes Mac to run into Christian, this event brings Mac and Dean Johnson together. Dean a hot, tattooed lead singer from the band Head Chase who has his own secrets to keep. The charismatic Dean encourages Mac to allow herself to feel, listens to her and is the most patient man imaginable. She blossoms and thrives having a purpose as a chef now on the road with Head Chase but life has a way of never being simple.... Mac constantly feels cursed, destined to be alone and fears any form of connection with anyone, she's conflicted by her emotions towards Dean as she feels guilt, betrayal and anger for Travis and Katie who are no longer here.I won't spoil this read but it's an emotional journey, for anyone whose suffered a loss you'll be crying along with Mac at her turmoil and conflicting emotions, but screaming at some of her decisions. I was so pleased that Wendy actually stepped away from the obvious ending and allowed her characters to grow and develop and not become a cliche fictional HEA couple.This book took me through a range of emotions but was so worth it. A massive 5 star read.***** I received a copy of this book in exchange for a review for Kinky Book Klub ***
