He never loses and luck always seems to be on his side, except when it comes to dating. The women he attracts aren’t the kind to take home to Mum or Nan. His life is all about training so cutting out time to find a girl who’s more interested in him than his money or celebrity is tough to do.One night at a pub and a handful of salt later Emma’s bad luck brings her face to face with the muscled fighter who finds her endearing and thinks she’s overexaggerating the power of luck. That is until his luck fails him days before a big fight.Can he help her find her own good luck and get his back in the process? Or will their growing attraction to each other create more problems than their luck can handle?This book contains sexually explicit content and is intended for adults 18+ Please refer to Rebecca's website for full list of content warnings.This book is part of a series of stand alones and it is not required to read previous books prior to reading this one.
Rebecca Rennick, known to her friends as Becca was born in California but has since converted into a Floridian. Along with her husband, and dog. With love for both horror films and the Hallmark Channel, she can be a little dark and creepy while wearing all pastel pink. Growing up in the theater led to her studying fashion in San Francisco where she received a BFA in fashion design. She has many obsessions such as tattoos on herself and others. As well as an unhealthy desire to see the entire world. Her only other true passion is eating. She loves to try everything at least once. You only have one life and you might as well try it all. Except meth, don't try meth.
This is the third book in the gummy bear orgy series. I love these stand alone stories that are a light read with some spice! I really like this author as the characters are so relatable and such a fun, quick read.
The book follows Emma who has nothing but bad luck. She meets Conor who has nothing but good luck. They end up finding a 4 leaf clever and after Conor gives it to Emma, he ends up giving her his luck.
In an effort to get his luck back he offers to become Emma's personal tour guide. They go to so many sites, including to meet his family. Throughout their time together they fall for each other.
Such a great book and I didn't want to put it down. I can't wait for the next color in the series.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I really enjoyed this one (for the most part). It felt like a sweet, 00's rom-com reminiscent of Just My Luck, Leap Year, Irish Wish, Chasing Liberty, etc In some ways perhaps a little cliché, but otherwise fun and enjoyable.
I really liked the idea that maybe it wasn't about luck at all and instead that everything happens for a reason (something I live by myself). Conor and Emma were very cute together and the spice was nice. I could have lived without the epilogue though. It's a personal preference, but the pregnancy overtaking everything else the way it did was kind of an ick.
I do have to note though that I noticed alot of spelling and grammatical errors throughout which slightly impacted my enjoyment - but only because it made the whole thing feel very unpolished. This is an easy fix though will another few combs through the text and an update.
Emma’s luck is horrible. The list is endless none the least of which was her apartment flooding leaving her somewhat homeless. Her wealthy friend Jules (helps to have one of those) buys her a ticket to Ireland to change her luck.
It’s supposed to be bad luck when Emma accidentally throws salt on Connor. He’s an MMA fighter, not interested in tourists or other women really. He concentrates on his career. Until Emma’s “bad luck” must have rubbed off on him.
This is a simple, predictable lifetime movie kind of book. It was okay, nothing spectacular, nothing horrible. I gave it 4 stars instead of three because there were a few times I did actually laugh out loud.
Rebecca Rennick can do no wrong in my eyes. This book followed unlucky Emma on a trip to Ireland where she meets Conor, a tattooed MMA fighter blessed with good luck and when they run into each other the luck switches and shenanigans ensue.
This book was funny and heartwarming and Spicy as hell. I loved how Conor gently pushed Emma out of her comfort zone and encouraged her to see her bad luck as something other than a curse.

Shout out to the full color edition of this book with includes a NSFW full color page from chapter 26 that I showed to my husband - it brought me some luck! Iykyk 😏😏😏😏
I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC and was so not disappointed. I loved the other two books in this series. But this one might have topped them. It was so good. I loved Conor & Emma so much! I love a good cinnamon roll male lead, and Conor was a delicious dream. I will definitely be re-reading this in the future as well as buying a physical copy for my bookshelf! Do yourself a favor if you need a beautiful, happy love story with plenty of spicy and gorgeous scenery. Go read this and thank me later. 🍀✨️
𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: Emma Johnson has the worst luck ever! If something can go wrong it usually always does but thankfully becoming a risk assessment analyst has helped her deal with her bad luck that is until her boss fires her replacing her with AI and of course after packing her office she arrives home to a flooded unlivable apartment. At the end of her rope, Emma lets her best friend Jules convince her to take a trip to Ireland. She decides to cross the sea to find the luck of the Irish, hoping a four-leaf clover can counteract her curse but what she doesn't expect to find is a tall, attractive Irish MMA fighter.
One night at a pub and a handful of salt later Emma's bad luck brings her face to face with the muscled fighter who finds her endearing and thinks she's overexaggerating the power of luck. That is until his luck fails him days before a big fight.
Can he help her find her own good luck and get his back in the process? Or will their growing attraction to each other create more problems than their luck can handle?
𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: I loved the other books of this series so much and this one didn't disappoint either. It had everything I look for in a rom-com. Banter, emotion, spice, and lots of flirting.
I enjoyed the plot I've never read anything like it before. It has me wanting to l visit Ireland now and this is the perfect March/St Patrick’s Day read.
This book is sweet and spicy it's like reading a spicy hallmark. The chemistry between Emma and Conor is off the charts. Even from the first meet, it was like they'd known each other forever.
Overall I really enjoyed this read it's a super cute and quick read. If you are looking for the perfect St Patrick's Day read this is it or if you are just a lover of rom-coms you'll enjoy this one.
Thank you so much Rebecca Rennick for the ARC copy for my honest opinion

I DEVOURED THIS BOOK! I’m in love with Rebecca’s writing style and have loved every book she’s written! This book was so cute, funny, spicy, inspiring, and just all around a good time. I’m in desperate need to visit Ireland now! I must go to all the locations in the book. Girl needs some luck of her own!!
Also can we get an Audiobook of this ASAP! I need to hear Conor’s Irish accent & when he speaks Irish 😍 God I might die listening to it!!

Emma and Conor are just adorable. The vacation to find the Luck O the Irish leading to love is so cute. No third act breakup which was great and the spice scenes were chefs kiss. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cute and spicy book that will make you smile and giggle. With a hint of that sexy Irish brogue.
literally read this in 1 day. i couldn’t put it down! IDK what it is, but every time i read a new book from the Gummy Bear Orgy series, i fall in love w it! i’m not much of a contemporary romance girl, but wow! this has got to be my favorite GBO book yet! Rebecca is such an amazing author and i am so happy i got to read this!
I received this as an ARC and I’ve read the other books in the series and I have to say by far my favorite of the three! Conor is 🤌🏻🤌🏻. I love the way the relationship forms between Emma and Conor and the way Conor treats Emma reminds me of the way my bf treats me and it just made me swoon and my heart just absolutely melted! 10/10 recommend this series and the book released on 3/5!
I really enjoyed the story, I liked that this was a romance that bloomed and the characters growth was the development and not outside stressors or people. The banter was great and I appreciated the not for work art 😁.
I did rate this lower for the errors in grammar and misspelled words. It made it a bit slower to get through the story.
I could not stop reading this! By far my favorite of the gummy bear series! I felt so much emotion throughout this book from beginning to end and now am forced to go to Ireland and find that damn flower field.
Rebecca Rennick does is again! Each time I read a book in the Gummy Bear Orgy series, I always say it is my favorite book of hers and Just My Luck is no exception, it is my new favorite! Perfect for St. Patrick’s day, it had me wanting to plan a trip to Ireland the whole time I was reading it! It is definitely a must read for March ☘️
This was such a fun, quick read, especially for March! Full of laughs, swoon and steam!
Emma heads to Ireland, thanks to her friend Jules, hoping to bring herself some good luck, which seems like an impossible task seeing as she is chronically unlucky. There, she meets Conor, who has all the luck in the world. After their luck seems to swap, they go on a journey together trying to find the true luck of the Irish. 🍀

I had read the first two in this series last year, but picked this one up when I got kindle unlimited again. I still LOVE this series! Grammar and punctuation are still lacking (like how did these mistakes even make it through to here…?) but it’s SO good. Super cheesy, over the top romantic, great smut, and unrealistic storylines, but man. Just such a feel good little read.
“‘Is tusa an grá a cheap mé nach bhfaighfinn choíche agus an grá nach scaoilfidh mé as.’ You are the love I thought I would never find and the love I will never let go of.”
I was so excited to receive this e-book ARC this week! I read it in two days, it would’ve been 1 but I had a busy weekend. With that being said, it is a quick read.
So first, I love the characters and the plot line. As always too, Rebecca writes good spice. I enjoyed the tropes in the book as well.
The only thing for me was the un-realistic feel of the book. While I know it’s fantasy, and a rom-com book, I do enjoy to be able to read these and think “this could totally be me” and there is just a part of this book where I am like “that’s not really how this works” lol. But it doesn’t take away from the book, I still really enjoyed it.

This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I just loved everything about this book. Also - maybe a good life lesson is to be learned here. It's all about perspective and how you view things. Is it bad luck, or did the bad luck lead you to the good luck?
Also, can we talk about Conor professing his love to Emma like Noah from The Notebook 😭😭😭😭.
“I never thought an American cursed with bad luck with a time limit would be the one to make me fall. To make me desire that forever with her. Fate works in mysterious ways.”
So definitely not anything Rebecca did, but when I was young I was obsessed with the Disney movie, Luck of the Irish, and I’m just fan casting a jacked up Ryan Merriman as Conor 🥵
I loved this book! Rebecca made me DESPERATE to travel to Ireland and fall in love with a boxer (sorry hubs)! The book was such a mini adventure and got me in my Irish roots loving feels! The romance was so quirky and adorable and I just generally enjoyed both of the MC’s, Conor & Emma!

“Like I told her before, even bad luck can lead to something good. Everything happens for a reason and there’s always a silver lining. Sometimes it’s not as bright as others and takes a keen eye to see, but it’s there. With Emma, I don’t have to look hard to see it. It shines every time I look at her. Every time I kiss her. She is my silver lining.”
Just because this is the third book in the series there are all independent stand-alone romances and can be read in any order which is great!
🍀“Mura turasóir thú thabharfainn abhaile thú, stóicfinn thú agus lionfadh mo choileach thú go dí go screadfá m’ainm.” (I can’t give you the translation cause it’s saucy, but DM and I’ll tell you😏)
Final review: 4.5⭐️, 3🌶️
Thank you @rebeccarennickauthor for granting me an eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review!
When i was LUCKY enough to get a digital ARC of this book. I knew it was going to be the perfect book for March. And it did not disappoint in the least. I threw on a st paddy’s day Spotify playlist and dove in. I loved these two characters well all the characters really. I was kicking my feet and giddy during all his professions of love and let’s not even get started on the quite spicy things he had to say in his native Tongue lol. Also i found myself laughing out loud numerous times while reading this book. I’d say my favorite part of this book besides the sweet love story between these two would be the fact that there’s no miscommunication and no third act breakup make up thank God. I would definitely recommend this one it’s a quick lighthearted yet spicy love story! Perfect for March or anytime of year. It definitely had me longing for a trip to the Emerald Isle 💚🍀
I received the E-ARC for this book and I couldn’t have been happier!
This was also my first Rebecca Rennick book read, even though I have her other 2 in the series, and my first ARC.
I thought the story was very festive and it was nostalgic for me because it reminded me of the Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine romcom, Just My Luck. The perfect comfort read for anyone dreaming of the rolling hills and sites of Ireland, or wanting a quick St. Patrick’s Day-esque theme read. Note: the book does not revolve around St. Patrick’s Day in any way whatsoever, but the Irish vibe is obviously still there.
The grammar errors and misspellings really irked me, but I imagine this is common in ARC’s, so I did not let it hinder my overall rating. Some parts of the story felt rushed, especially the ending, which was a bummer. I was really hoping Emma would give Conor the clover back for his fight, and he would tell her he didn’t need it because she was his good luck charm and as long as she was around he had all the good luck he needed. I think that would have made the premise of the story go full circle and felt like the cherry on top.

ARC Review: I’ve been a growing fan of Rebbeca’s work, and I’ve dove head first into the gummy bear orgy series. This is my FAVORITE one so far 💚. What can I say other than Emma and Conor gave me all the feel good vibes. I throughly enjoyed their journey, and man was it a long one. Conor has official made book bf status, and I think I’m moving to Ireland lol! Jokes aside I really enjoyed this storyline, they spent the majority of the book together, going on adventures, and I never got sick of it.. In short I loved everything about this book, the meeting, nickname, banter, and of course Conor speaking Celtic. If you need a book to turn your bad luck around def, check this one out you won’t regret it.
Thank you Rebecca Rennick for the E-ARC of this book!
I really enjoyed this book! I have read a few books with the "unlucky girl" trope and always hated them but this book does it so well.
This book follows Emma, an American girl with the worst luck, on her journey to soak up the luck of the Irish in Ireland. There, she meets Conor, an extremely lucky, Irish MMA fighter. Throughout the book you see them transform from enemies to lovers.
It seems like as Emma becomes more lucky she completely transforms as a person. That is the only part I found to be unrealistic as she changes so quickly.
The ARC had many typos (they are being fixed now) which held me back from being fully immersed. I wish I could have experienced it more cleaned up. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it much more.
