Unlucky In Love
When Judi is cut off from daddy’s money, her entire world is turned upside down. She doesn’t understand why her father would cut his princess off. Patrick has been supporting his daughter all her life, but when a situation surfaces that forces him to make some rash decisions, Judi is left to fend for herself.
Just when luck has her down, Judi meets who she thinks is the love of her life. Jamar enters Judi’s life during a dark time and makes life bearable for her again. Judi finally feels as if her luck has changed and she can enjoy a life of love and happiness. Unfortunately, in a strange twist, Judi soon finds out that Jamar just can't be the one.
Judi then turns to her good friend, Jonica, who has always been her warm shoulder to lean on when things got tough. But Judi is soon left wondering, if that is all she wants to lean onto.

This book was a good standalone. I felt bad for Judi she went through so much. I really like Jamar and Judi relationship. His mother was something else because of her secret cause everybody a heart ache. The ending was something else I didn't see that coming.

To say the main character Judi is "unlucky" is an understatement. If it wasn't one thing if was another. In this story she went through a lot , not just in her love life but in all aspects of life. It was very easy to develop sympathy for her as things continued to spiral downhill. Just when you thought she found her happy ending, BAM! More unfortunate events take place with a very unexpected and surprising ending. The author did a good job penning a full stand alone novel that will hold the reader's attention.

I thought this book was good. Judi was so unlucky it was unreal. It started out with Judi loosing both her parents, then she goes on to live this fairytale with Jamar for about 60% of the book. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere Hattie drops an atomic bomb that turns everything upside down. Smh good job Ms. Hunter

Unlucky was an understatement in describing the grief Judi experienced... Unlucky In Love was a well written, drama filled story by Rikenya Hunter that I truly enjoyed. Great read that held my attention throughout.

So many twists and turns!
The ending was a surprise, Judi had so much tragedy in her life. There was a lot of sadness in this book, but it was a good book.

Ever felt unlucky in love? Ever felt like the love you were giving is just not enough to sustain a relationship? Ever felt like the love you were giving is not being given back to you?
Judi is a young woman who decided that the college life was not for her. She came home from college to the disappointment of her father. He barely acknowledges her since she came home. Judi finds employment and is ready to start her first day. Her first day does not go well but the silver lining of the day is that she meets Jamar. She finds out that he owns the company she works for and decides to keep to herself. Jamar is not having that and decides that he wants to pursue Judi. Judi is skeptical but decides to see where the relationship will take her.
Judi loses her father to a fatal asthma attack and does not get the chance to apologize or tell him how she really feels. Jamar steps in and takes her mind away from her loss. Judi's mom is just existing at this point. She is lost and does not know whether she is coming or going. She makes a discovery about her husband that further pushes her into depression and then the final act of suicide. Jamar is there to soothe her and her best friend Jonica comes into town to help her best friend through her grief.
Jamar and Judi's relationship starts to flourish despite all of the hardships she has experienced. After being together for some time, Judi is going to finally meet Jamar's parents. She meets the parents and their relationship continues to grow. Judi is happy finally after so much tragedy. Her best friend Jonica is moving back and things seem to be going great. Judi discovers that she is pregnant and her pregnancy opens up a can of worms. Lies and deception ensue and cause much drama in her relationship with Jamar. Pandora's box is opened up and is not going to be closed. Will they survive the drama? Will their love survive the trauma?
I am rating four stars. A refreshing read with a different kind of love story. Hunter explored some taboo subjects and it made the read all that much better.
