Holiday, Montana #4
Her Lucky Love
Brayden Cooper has always been lucky. It's in his blood and in the coin that he has hanging on a leather tie around his neck. He has everything in the world he could ever want, a job, brothers he loves, and the luck that comes with his powers. Yet he's empty. Everyone but him knows he loves Allison, yet it's going to take something stronger than luck to bring them together. Allison Malone’s hell of a marriage is finally over but long hours at work and mommy duty at home are taking its toll on her and that's not the worst of it. Her late husband's family is in town and they want her children. The magic of Holiday, Montana can only help so much, but together, Allison and Brayden just might find a way to save their families—and finally give into one another.

Her Lucky Love🍀
Brayden has been in love with Allison for as long as he can remember, but he’s always stayed in the back and been a friend she and her kids can count on😢That is until her late husband’s family start making waves about wanting the kids😳
I really did enjoy this book and the characters and I’m looking forward to reading the final book in the series soon😁

For me, this book was a weak link in the series. There had been so much buildup for Brayden's story, but in the end, it was very anti-climactic. The villains were easily vanquished, leaving this reader wondering why they hadn't been vanquished sooner in the story. While it was interesting to see Gnomes in this universe, there were more unanswered questions than answers in this book. While it was good, it wasn't great for me.

Holiday MT has the whole gambit of mythical and paranormal beings. Brayden had his hands full loving a woman and children that had no clue to his feelings. Allie l I ved Brayden but fir this mother her children would always come first.
Gregory did his job lending voice to all the characters with clear distinction.

Holiday Montana, a place most people think is just a small town with nothing special about it. To the Copper's family and friends, they know that magic is everywhere. With 5 Copper men, one was a ghost, a Executive for Santa, another a Cupid, you would think nothing would surprise any of them. Brayden, has keep his secret so far. As a child he found the end of the rainbow. A leprechaun gave him a gift. A gold coin. It has brought him luck ever since. The magical creature told him one day he would know who to give it to. So far it has given him success in business, money and everything else but the one thing he truly wants, a family. Allison Malone's husband was a abusive man and Allison is not sad he is dead. Dying in a car crash, set her free. But with 3 kids to raise and take care of, times are hard. The Cooper family has been helping with Allison and the kids, but being a proud, independent woman, she only lets them do so much. Brayden loves those kids and the kids love him. Can he convince himself and Allison to take a risk on Love? When Allison's dead husbands family, comes to town, Allison learns that her husband held a secret of his own.
This Holiday Montana series is awesome. Suspense, danger, love, lust, kids, and even some laughter. I had a real hard time putting this one down. You fall in love with these characters and the story in front of you. Any man who loves your kids, has a soft spot in your heart but the chemistry between the Brayden and Allison has been building through 3 other stories. Burning the sheets hot type of chemistry. I had been waiting for this story for a while. Carrie Ann did not disappoint.. This was book 4 in the series of 5 men. Can't wait for book #5. Thanks Carrie for the GREAT read and for the love affair I know have with some very hunky Cooper men.

If you haven't picked up the Holiday, Montana Series...I highly recommend doing so! Her Lucky Love is the fourth in the series and probably my favorite so far! Brayden and Ally's story is touching, heartwarming, just an all around great read! Brayden has been in love with Ally for years but stood in the sidelines! Allison is a single mother of 3 whose deceased husband was extremely abusive both physically and mentally! Allison is going to put her kids first no matter what, she was strong,protective,courageous,loving with stubbornness thrown in! Ally struggles with letting another male in her life and the magic that surrounds her! She finds out the hard way not all magic is good! This book that made me cry, laugh out loud, smile, turn page after page in order to find out what happened next! I was sad to reach the end! I truly can't say enough good things about this book! I highly recommend picking it up! I am looking forward to Jackson's Story!

We have been watching Brayden and Allison dance around each other in the previous books. Now we get their story and it is really good. This book has it all; action, adventure, magic and romance. I loved the fact that Allison is a single parent and that Brayden loves both her and the kids. This is a heck of a read.
March 4, 2013
OMG!!!!! This had to be the best book out of the series! I have never cried, cursed or shouted at a book in my life! But was also heart warningly beautiful! Bring on Jackson's book! Whoop Whoop :-)

Allyson's story will make you cry buckets! But, there are some gems of humor too. Full review to come

I’m a little confused as to how this book has 4+ star rating. I’m willing to admit that maybe it just wasn’t for me, and I would never try to truly put down an author’s work without serious contemplation. I know the time, dedication, and work that goes into writing something and I major respect for that.
That being said. I have regrets. I can’t believe I finished this instead of dnf’ing it into the ether.
It… wasn’t great. The characters were already in love with each other from the first page, with zero build up to their relationship ship. Zero chemistry. It was like rooting for two cousins to get together.
There was no character development, which makes me so sad. A lot of the dialogue was clunky and underdeveloped… unfortunately, it sounded like someone writing dialogue for the first time.
The plot was not well rounded in general. The acts/sequences were not structured well, and it left the reader not super interested in what happened next (for me). To be clear- I haven’t read the other books in this series, but the whole magical thing was weird. I like some magical realism and fantasy, but this felt forced and a little wattpad-ish.
I dunno. I’m really sorry, author. I know this book is for someone out there and there are many in love with it. I’m sorry it just wasn’t for me.

Meet the monster-in- law.
Braydon Cooper has loved Ally for years, and when her late husband's family makes a sudden appearance and are threatening to take her children, Braydon will do anything in his power to protect them. Allison Malone has known the Cooper brothers for a long time, and is happy that they consider her children and herself part of their family. Unfortunately, Ally's past has made her leary of magic, and while she trusts them to keep her family safe, she just doesn't trust magic.
Sweet, sexy, compelling, and wonderfully well written characters. Some action and suspense, with unexpected twists in the plot, and a happily ever after. I think this is a must read.

I listened to this on audiobook, book 4 of a 5 book series.
So I wanted something light hearted, little funny and not too serious and this series and all it’s characters are definitely fitting the bill.
This has been a fun entertaining story throughout, enjoyed getting to know Brandon Cooper a lot more, seeing what makes him tick and seeing him finally getting together with Alison, and taking on her three children too whom he’d already grown attached to over the years. It was cute, light hearted with a bit of action, both of the naughty sexy action but also the nasty baddy sort of action too. All good fun.
So up next is the last book to the series, the last of the Cooper brothers. Each of the 5 books are based on each of the Cooper brothers.

Will Ally ever give Brayden a chance at a family?
I think one is my favorite of this series so far. I liked how Brayden has been there for everyone no matter what. I adore the fact that he loved Ally but let her live her life on her terms. And that once she agreed to give a relationship a try, he wasn't willing to ever let her go again. He did everything right by including her children in decisions that would affect them all.
This book involved the magic of luck and evil gnomes. Love all the different supernatural creatures involved in this series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I LOVE THIS AUTHOR!!
Her Lucky Love blends magic and romance with a strong dose of emotional depth. Brayden's luck is both a blessing and a curse, and his love for Allison is what ultimately pushes him to be more than just a lucky man. Allison's struggles as a widow and mother add emotional layers, making her a resilient heroine. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the plot—especially with the threat to her children—adds a touch of suspense that keeps the reader hooked. The romance feels both passionate and supportive, making this a standout in the series.

Brayden has been in love with Allison for years – only no one realizes it, he’s also meet a leprechaun and wears a magic coin around his neck, which comes in handy. Allison has three cute kids (Aiden, Cameron, and Lacy) who he wants to be their father. Well her ex’s family comes to Holiday to try to get the kids because they want to raise them and teach them the way of the gnomes but the Cooper’s are not going to allow that …….

Hmmmm . . .
Again, stretches my imagination. I don't think I like evil magic. Gnomes are happy little guys who hang out in the garden. The gnomes here were just nasty. A metaphor? Or are there tales I have never heard? Very possible. But I found this one disturbing. But then I am generally disturbed with stories where children are threatened. Except for that, a good enough story to have me reading to the end.

Great read
I really enjoyed this story. It was fun and entertaining. It pulled me in from beginning to end and I adored watching Brayden with the kids. It was utterly adorable. This story definitely had some action and intrigue and felt like a little more danger with the kids involved and what Ally had been through with her dead husband. I definitely can’t wait to see what happens with Jackson though.

I enjoyed this story. I however felt that some information was left out of the story. We found out next to nothing about gnomes, why were they the last of their kind, couldn't Very have kids of his own and how did leprechaun magic kill them?. Also Carrie, where is my epilogue girl you left me hanging on thus one.
Good read.

Allison got a little annoying after a while. I get that she needs to do things on her own after what she went through, but she really needs to let the people who love her help more without making a big about it all the time. She can have help every once in a while and still be a strong independent woman.

So good!
Such a great story! Love stories with something new and different and this is definitely one of those. Braden and Allison are an adorable couple. The kids are great too. Don't want the series to end.

Allison struggles to make ends meet, but that is ok since she has her three kids. Brayden has loved her and her kids from afar. This was the first book for me in the Holiday, Montana world and is a paranormal book. I enjoyed this story that had a little suspense.

Phenomenal
One of her best books to date! This book was outstanding, the way real life intermixed with fantasy and all being totally believable.
