Oh, Boy! Oh, Bailey! Find a penny, pick it up; just don't bank on Lady Luck Bailey Devlin is on the fast track to happiness. The bar exam is behind her (for the second time), Jeffery adores her, and her hobbled together family of misfits becomes dearer by the day. The future isn't just bright, it is dazzling. But Lady Luck has taken note and decides a little mischief is in order. As Bailey and Jeffery set out for a very special weekend, they come across a penny in the most amazing place. It doesn't take long for Bailey to realize that she made a big mistake picking this one up, and now Bailey is on a tear to put things right. But Lady Luck is no pushover and Bailey learns that bad luck might just be the best luck of all.

"Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck."
In the second installment of this trilogy, Bailey Devlin finds and picks up a Penny, which leads to good luck, right? Of course it does. Bailey's budding romance seems to be heating up when she's invited to meet her beau's family. The visit goes well, although everything ─ the luck, Bailey's plans, and even the Penny ─ take different forms than you might guess.
Romantic comedy is a change of pace for legal thriller author Rebecca Forster, but she's acquitting herself well in this trilogy with great characters, putting them in fun (and funny) situations, and in the process lead character Bailey is learning about life. As new challenges and obstacles are thrown in Bailey's path, she's realizing what's important to her and what she wants out of life.

Bailey's continuing adventures
With a smile on my face, I quickly devour Bailey's next story. Some books just click with you and this series is one of the best for romantic comedy and an escape from the problems of life, for a while. Eagerly looking forward to reading the last book in this series.

The Day Bailey Devlin Picked Up A Penny (Book 2 of the Bailey Devlin Series)
by Rebecca Forster
CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform 2015 ISBN# 978-1517072728
Previously….
When we first met Bailey Devlin in, The Day Bailey Devlin’s Horoscope Came True, (see my review posted on Dec. 22, 2018), Bailey was struggling with the unexpected arrival of her grandfather, studying to pass the bar exam, and conflicted about her feelings for two guys.
In The Day Bailey Devlin Picked Up A Penny, book 2 of the Bailey Devlin Series, our heroine is on a weekend getaway with Jeffery to “meet the parents.” Driving through the pouring rain, Bailey spots a woman stranded on the roadside and urges Jeffery to turn the car around and go back to help her. Bailey braves the downpour to help the woman into the car. The three of them arrive at the mansion with Bailey drenched and looking like something the cat dragged in… and then threw away. Not the great first impression she was hoping to make on Jeffery’s family.
The stranger turns out to be Jeffery’s childhood friend, now drop-dead-gorgeous…Penny. And this is one penny Bailey can’t toss away! In Bailey’s mind, Penny is a rival who threatens her potential future with her true love. And to make matters worse, Penny has a secret that no one but Bailey seems concerned about.
Since our Bailey rarely takes the easy or direct route to confront her problems, she lets her fears and suspicions lead her into trouble and grief. The only foot she’s able to put forward is the left one, usually into her mouth.
Navigating a maze of confusion and misunderstanding, Bailey finds herself wallowing in self-doubt and treading the waters of low self-esteem. She questions whether luck and love are well-matched and wonders if maybe it’s like her mother said, ‘luck encompasses those things and events that can change the course of one’s life.’
To find out if the events in this book change Bailey’s life and confirm her true love, you’ll have to read, The Day Bailey Devlin Picked Up a Penny. It just might be your lucky day!

The actual story really picks up and take off in this second installment of the Bailey series. It's fun it's humorous, it's addicting! With characters that a reader can't help but love and situations that everyone can empathize with, Ms. Forster wraps us right up in the crazy antics and laugh out loud consequences of Bailey and her crew. Thoroughly enjoyable indulgence!
