And a Sixpence for Luck

by Lilac Mills

Daisy Jones has hit rock bottom. Or so she believes.

A cheating boyfriend, trouble at work, having to move back in with her mother, and being forced to compare her brother's loved-up, newly-wed status and brand-new shiny house with her own dire lack of prospects, isn't what she imagined her life was going to be like at thirty. To top it all off, Christmas, is just around the corner!

Daisy, bless her, thinks things can't possibly get any worse, but when her ancient great-grandmother persuades her to plant a silver sixpence in the Christmas pud for luck, Daisy is about to discover that they most definitely can.

*** Many thanks to author and Neverland Blog Tours for giving me a chance to read this wonderful book.***

It was character driven book set in London. This was a funny, gripping holiday themed Romcom, narrated by main character Daisy and revolve around her life at age 30, struggling to buy a house and finding a man who can love her just like she does. But looking at family history, women of her house never had a luck with men. A sixpence given by great granny for luck was just another thing added a series of bad luck to her life.

What I liked-

Everything!!! This was my first holiday themed chick-lit and now I’m thinking why I haven’t read more of such books. Setting, witty characters, and holiday theme was perfect blend and writing was great, easy to follow with perfect pace. Who can think a sixpence, an object, can create such a fuss and drama in someone’s life! It was very creative and fabulous concept. I’m so surely going to read more books by this author.

All characters felt so real and relatable. A mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and a saint sibling living Daisy’s dream life and giggly sister-in-law made awesome comedy drama in book. This book was so funny, I was giggling throughout the book like Zoe (I’m not vacant, of course). Most hilarious scene was the one when she caught her boyfriend with another man.

Three old biddies were the charm of the book. I don’t think I have laughed more if author haven’t included them in this drama. I loved four ladies and their bickering. It was fun to see four generation women in one book under one roof. Daisy’s voice, monologue was just plus element to this romcom.

Daisy’s nature was so good. Though her family was annoying and never miss a chance to pull her leg, she never voiced her thoughts and I liked her easily forgiving nature. She had habit of jumping to conclusion and not giving credit to herself that made me do forehead smack few times in the book. But I just loved this character, she was damn funny.

Zoe was so lovely. Initially this character was hidden behind main character and other ladies of the house but the way her character was written I knew she is going to play a nice important role later. She was very supportive to Daisy and her well wisher. I will give anything to have such sister-in-law. 😉

Romance between Daisy and Noah Hartley was cute and adorable. Noah was funniest doctor I ever read. This dude had a habit of jumping to wrong conclusions and I loved those scenes in the book. He was so romantic and I loved his style of dating, such an amazing guy and perfect for Daisy.

Climax was unexpected. I couldn’t guess the surprise when he took her to his home. The end was sweet feel good type and epilogue was even sweeter. I wished this book never ended.

Overall, I simply loved this book. This was kind of book you can go blindly and never regret for picking. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for light refreshing read with holiday theme.

You may think it is too early for a Christmas read but think not. It is not too long now till Christmas so what better way to get started than to start reading a festive book. I am a big fan of Lilac Mills and I think everyone should read her books. This read made me want to curl up and forget my daily woes. I loved Daisy, I could definitely see myself in her and I loved her great grandmother and her traditions. It made me start thinking about Christmas and my family. A lovely read.

Lilac Mills is a new author to me and as I loved the synopsis to "And the Sixpence for Luck" I didn't hesitate long to take part in this blog tour. The colourful cover of this book just shouted "read me" and I was so in need for something optimistic and witty.

The plot was not very complicated, there were not many twists and turns that changed the current. It was mostly on the predictable side and there were not many surprises thrown my way. The jumping to conclusions, while intended as light - hearted and funny, eventually started to annoy. But please, don't get me wrong, it was a relatively funny, festive read but it just didn't wow me and for me it was just too clichéd to rate it with more stars. I am probably spoiled by the many books I read, or maybe I should say I'm damaged by the many books that I read because now the read must be exceptional for me, and "A Sixpence for Luck" was an average one. I don't mean it was wrong, oh my, I'm far from saying it, but it is not a book that is going to stay with me for long.

It was a light and relaxed read, and I appreciate author's attempt at the humour but for me it was mostly perfectly obvious, too far fetched and it felt too forced. Some of the characters, like Daisy's great - grandmother, annoyed me like you wouldn't believe - I know she was supposed to be cute with her one - liners and strong opinions but for me it all sounded too plastic and unnatural. Daisy was a nice leading character though, and my heart went to her on so many occasions and at the many disappointments that she had to experience in her life. I liked how she was willing not to take herself too seriously and I really, really admired that she stayed so strong and kept her head up with so many unfortunate mishaps. I mean, there is bad luck and there is bad luck, right? And Daisy was very prone to accident.

Altogether, it was a nice enough story about staying positive and never losing your hope and good humour, and seeing positive even when the situations are far from being funny. If you are looking for a light and festive story than this can be a read for you. The writing style was engaging and easy to follow and as the novel itself was not too complex it made for an easy, relaxed read with some cheeky humour added.

This is the third book I have read by Lilac Mills and although it isn't my favourite, that title still goes to Elephant and Pinky Moon, it is yet another incredibly enjoyable story, which I am very glad that I read.

There was though slightly too much toilet humour in the first part of the book, which although completely justified and fitting, just left a slightly bad taste in my mouth. That being said the rest of the humour was top notch, and I daren't say too much or I will spoil the fun for everyone.

Daisy's great gran suggests putting a silver sixpence at the bottom of the Christmas pudding, so that Daisy's rather poor run of luck will come to and end. The results of the sixpence are more outrageous than you would predict and well there is a change in her luck just not in the way you expect.

During the book there are multiple trips to hospital for various reasons and in that she meets an incredibly dish doctor, but again keep an eye open for all their initial dialogue especially if you love people talking at crossed purposes and getting confused!

This is a light hearted, incredibly fun book and although the humour didn't quite tickle me, I was impressed with the pacing of it, and all the various threads of story that were weaved into this book. In addition to the romance and comedy parts of this rom com, there are more serious topics that are touched upon, and also you get a great feel for all the generations of women in Daisy's rather madcap family.

Despite the mentions of Christmas pudding and the majority of the book taking place around Christmas and New Year, it really isn't the sort of book that will have you longing put the decorations up, it just happens to have that as the time of year setting, while the story makes you laugh and is fun for any time of the year.

Thank to Lilac Mills for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Can a Sixpence bring you luck when your life is currently going down the tubes? 

Well Daisy is just that.  Down on her luck.  Caught boyfriend cheating. CHECK  Move back home in her mother's home. CHECK  Becoming a member of the woman man haters club.  Double CHECK  Can life get any worse?  Well grandma Gee Gee seems to think that giving her grand daughter a Sixpence will bring her luck and maybe just maybe life will get back on track for Daisy.  Well that is after you mix up ingredients to make Christmas pudding, everyone take a turn to stir the pudding with wishes, wish on the Sixpence before putting it in the pudding, cook the pudding for 8 hours and then finally eat the pudding finding the Sixpence.  Whoosh!!!  Luck is yours!  That is if you don't choke on it first.

This book is hilariously funny.  A perfect read for the holiday season.  I really loved the concept that the book is centered around.  Sixpence for Luck! How exciting right!?!  I really enjoy reading books with a fun fact item that the a story is built around.  

This was such a feel good read.  I smiled, laughed, frowned and cried.  A highly entertaining read full of witty fun and romance.  I had a hard time putting the book down.  I was hanging on, not wanting to miss what would happen to Daisy next.  If it weren't for bad luck Dasiy dear would have no luck at all.  This book had some real doozy twists in it.  Some will have you in stitches.  Others will have you mad and some will make you cry.

 The characters have such charisma and charm.  I especially found Freddie to be funny as hell anda little bit on the dramatic side.  I fell in love with Dr Hartley.  He is so dreamy and slightly silly with his overactive imagination.  As that imagination got him into a bit of trouble with Daisy now and then.  Poor Poor Daisy.  Man did she have it rough.

This is the second book by Lilac Mills that I have read.  I really enjoy her way of writing romance.  She makes the stories so entertaining with charming and funny characters.  Her books are very enjoyable.  The characters are developed and the stories flow so smoothly.  She takes a book with a serious side to it and adds in a romantic charm with a funny twist.  I will definitely be on the look out for more from this author.

Rating 3.5/5

This will sound like a terrible thing to say but as soon as I started reading this book I knew it was the type of romance book that I don’t tend to get along with and I was a little annoyed with myself because the blurb had really intrigued me. However the more I read the more I was pleasantly surprised by this book.

It was actually a really enjoyable read, which just goes to show that I should maybe be a little more open-minded about my book choices.

The storyline was equal parts dramatic and funny, I did find myself chuckling at the disasters that Daisy got into and I liked that she had a loud and dysfunctional family to add to the mix.

I liked the banter that Daisy and Noah, their misunderstandings and unfortunate meetings and then the lovely things that they end up doing for each other but my one gripe would be that I didn’t like how dramatic Daisy got near the end of the book. It was clingy and annoying rather than being worried and was a bit too over the top for me.

As I have found with romance books it was really predictable in places, a lot of that was probably intentional, but what I really admired was that there was a very predictable stereotype in one of the characters, Daisy’s sister-in-law Zoe, but the further into the book you get you realise that Daisy has misread her. It was really refreshing that she turned out to be the polar opposite of what I expected and that Daisy could admit that she was an idiot for not getting to know Zoe better.

I know that usually, people are most concerned with the relationship between the two people falling in love but this was the relationship that really caught my attention.

I’m glad that I gave this book a chance because I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would and I think that people who love a romance will probably love this book.

And a Sixpence for Luck is just the perfect holiday romance. Clean, cleverly written, sparkling with Brit-wit, the tale of Daisy Jones' worst Christmas ever had me laughing and cheering. Thirty-year-old Daisy's a bit of a late bloomer, forced to grow up at last when the live-in lover, the job, and all the lovely shopping disappear, and she's reduced to moving back home with her mother and grandmother. Her view of her own achievements and relationships is even more jaundiced by comparison to her younger brother, who has it all - good job, fine house, lovely wife, and baby on the way. Bit by bit, Daisy learns to take a different view of her supposedly bad luck, her supposedly critical mother and grandmother, her supposedly vacuous sister-in-law, and all the other mistaken assumptions she's made about herself and others. And lo and behold, when the fog of misconceptions clears, all the good things she thought her life lacked for are right before her: luck, job, love, family and home. Happy Christmas, Daisy, and the same to all who read your story. I am reviewing an ARC of this book, and the opinion voluntarily expressed is my own.

Disclaimer: I was provided with an AXP Advanced Reader’s Copy by of the book and decided to provide my honest review. After reading, I purchased the book, now my review. WOW! WOW! WOW! What a wonderful book. Romance is not my genre at all; it’s just by consequence that I have read and a Sixpence for Luck. The author has written a book where you could not only love the main character Daisy but get swept away by the complexities of her life – and sometimes seeing yourself. Daisy is an extremely well-developed character with breath, depth, and fortitude that allowed her to meet every challenge head-on. There are secondary characters and tertiary characters layered, like a “lasagna” within the book, however, they did not smother each other or mute each other’s voices. It was as if the author made sure that amongst the layers of the storyline that each one was an experience unto itself. And this drove my fundamental need to turn the page and the next and so on. My RECOMMENDATION is to read this book. It’s a 5 out of 5 stars how could you go wrong. –Tex.

Feel-good, happy, and heart-warming

Daisy’s life is falling apart. Finding her boyfriend-of-4-years in bed with someone else, moving back in with her mum who is not being very sympathetic, the ongoing sibling rivalry with her very successful, newly-wed brother: it’s all a bit much. At least, she can’t sink much lower than this. Or that’s what she thinks.

Then her great-gran gives her a sixpence for luck. She needs a bit of luck. Well, lots of it, actually. But the sixpence doesn’t seem to be bringing much luck. Ever since… well you’ll just have to read THAT yourself… things are going wrong even more than before. Freddiegate, then Sixpencegate, what more?

I loved it! Definitely a feel-good book. A happy writing style. Christmas in June for me; it’s never the wrong time for a heart-warming story. Some ew moments, a lot of misunderstandings, but very romantic. Oh, it was wonderful!

I received a complimentary copy of this book and voluntarily posted an honest review. I received no remuneration for it in any way, shape, or form.

I hope you've never had the misfortune of walking in on your guy when he's in the middle of someone else.
Can I say, so not fun. As one guy told me, I figured if it didn't work, even with you, then what woman could it work with.

This is Daisy's story. I was pleased to receive an advance copy of it.

Daisy's search for Love and Destiny leads her down many crooked paths, and though some situations are a bit bawdy, really the language and descriptions of her family and romantic situations are usually G or PG rated.

Happily, even when Daisy finds her friends and family laughing, she still has a sense of humor, and a humorous description - so you feel a little less guilty about it when you laugh too.

Putting the awkward health and family mayhem in amusing perspective - and letting you laugh at those romantic Whoops! moments.

If you enjoy a romance that you can both cringe and laugh along with, give this wacky romance a chance!

I wasn't sure what to make of this story at first, but the more I read of it the better I liked it. Daisy and her boyfriend Freddie are going out at an expensive restaurant.Freddie's been acting strange as of late, so Daisy thinks he is going to propose to her, well he proposes that they move in together without marriage. Hmmmm, okay Daisy accepts since she is still living with her mother. Three years later Daisy comes home early and find Freddie with "Carla" who is a Carl. Oh my! Back home to mother. Her great grandmother decides she needs some good luck so they make Christmas Pudding and the one who gets the sixpence in it will have good luck. Daisy almost chokes on the coin, and things just go down hill from there. This book written with clever humor! You will shake your head in astonishment on how Daisy even keeps going! But you must read it all the way to the end.....you will love this story!!!!! I am voluntarily reviewing this book.

Lilac Mills is a new fresh voice in the world of romance of the single working girl. And a Sixpence for Luck gives the reader Daisy Jones, a likable woman who is having a string of disappointing events in her life right at Christmas. It is the seemingly harmless Christmas tradition to bring luck and happiness that takes Daisy on the most awkward journey to find true love and happiness.

Funny and poignant, Lilac Mills writes a wonderful different type of Christmas story. This author reminds us to see the good in the bad situations, encourages us to laugh and not take ourselves too serious and to live life to the fullest in spite of our crazy family. A must read for anyone wishing for a Christmas story that does all that and more.

I received this book free from the author via AXP Books. It looked interesting and perhaps different from what I usually read, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

When I started it I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I persevered and am glad that I did. It was a funny read, the characters were real, and there were enough surprises in the plot to make me want to keep on reading it. Daisy, the main character, seems to be going through a lot of bad luck in her life, culminating in her ending up at the hospital after swallowing a sixpence that had been placed in the Christmas pudding she had eaten, which had been hidden there for good luck! The story twists and turns from there and I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would when I initially started it. If you are looking for a Christmas-themed, warm and funny story, then this is for you.

Life is not going well for Daisy Jones and Christmas is fast approaching when her great-grandmother, Gee-Gee, gives her an old-fashioned sixpence to put in the christmas pudding ‘for luck’. Without giving anything away, what follows is a hilarious series of misunderstandings and sheer bad luck. To look on the bright side it does take her to A&E where she meets dishy Dr Hartley who, although qualified as a doctor, is pretty bad at reading people considering the conclusions he jumps to about Daisy. The story is well written, will make you laugh out loud, has a great cast of characters, particularly her mum, gran and Gee-Gee and a happy ending (sorry) – what more could you want!

This book pretty much "had" me from the first page. Poor Daisy.. the expression "no luck at all unless it's bad luck" didn't begin to cover it. It usually takes me a while to finish a book as I usually read only before bedtime and waiting in doctor's offices. I still only read before bedtime -- the difference was that I had a hard time putting the book down as I wanted to see what "unlucky" thing would happen next and how it would be handled. I was chuckling a lot of the time just picturing the things poor Daisy was going through. I definitely recommend the book to others.

Daisy Jones is 30 year old who finds her boyfriend in bed with a man named Carla, loses her job and almost chokes to death on a sixpence, which was supposed to bring her good luck, goes back home to live with her mother and grandmother, gets betrayed by her friend, all in just few days. From then on it can only get better? Right? Wrong! Daisy's path of discovery of what she had, what she lost and what she is looking for is soul searching, emotional and hilarious at the same time. She finds out truth about her family members, meets people who enrich her life and who give her opportunity to grow and prove her worth. Delightful book of second chances and new beginnings. I wish there is a sequel I would love to know what the future will bring.

You think your life is bad - think again

An absolutely terrific read. Read this when you are down and you'll soon be chuckling and thinking that maybe things aren't as bad as all that. Finding you long term partner is gay, swallowing the Christmas Pudding Lucky Sixpence, getting sacked are just the beginning of what she thinks is more like bad luck. Watch as she makes her way through the year and starts to pick up the pieces of her life plus a hunky doctor. Great plot with just the right mix of dire happenings tempered with humour and feeling. However this all would have fallen by the roadside if the wrong characters had been used. Wonderful quirky family and she is just the right mix of hurt, optimism and guts. Really terrific read.

Daisy has got her share of back luck in the last few days, so when her great grandmother suggest her to make a Christmas pudding and that she put in it a sixpence to bring back some luck into Daisy's life she reluctantly agrees to cook it. Little she knows that the sixpence will bring her to the A&E in the hospital, it will allow her to meet Dr. Hartley, a very handsome doctor. And even if they seems to always start their meeting with the wrong foot, it will turn out the sixpence is going to bring luck and happiness to Daisy's life.

Daisy is not having much luck in life.... her job is down the pan, her boyfriend has been cheating on her and she has had to move back home at 30 how degrading is that! To add insult to injury her ancient great grandmother persuades her to put an old silver sixpence in the Christmas pudding for luck and she eats it... how unlucky is that....or is it! A trip to the A and E and she meets a rather dishy doctor.... maybe the sixpence is lucky after all!

The Blurb :
Daisy Jones has hit rock bottom. Or so she believes.
A cheating boyfriend, trouble at work, having to move back in with her mother, and being forced to compare her brother's loved-up, newly-wed status and brand-new shiny house with her own dire lack of prospects, isn't what she imagined her life was going to be like at thirty. To top it all off, Christmas, is just around the corner!
Daisy, bless her, thinks things can't possibly get any worse, but when her ancient great-grandmother persuades her to plant a silver sixpence in the Christmas pud for luck, Daisy is about to discover that they most definitely can.

My Thoughts :
I love stories from Lilac Mills and this new festive treat was a real winner just like her other books.
Daisy Jone’s thought she had the perfect life, that is until she finds her boyfriend Freddie cheating on her in not such a normal way. With no job, no boyfriend and her luck in termoil she returns home for Christmas to stay with her family. Her grandmother Gee Gee gives Daisy an old sixpence to pop in the Christmas Pudding, telling her whoever finds it will be lucky. But does that luck involve a trip to hospital and meeting Doctor dishy!. Will Daisy’s luck change for her just as she deserves?.
This story was a laugh a minute, filled with some twists and turns plus some great charactors in the mix, Daisy is brought across as very likeable and realistic. With the added bonus of a festive treat, you will not want to put this down as you get immersed in the story, once again Lilac Mills has delivered at her best.

A perfect easy read if you like a book sweet, funny and with a lot of misunderstandings....

This was an interesting book because as a reader you want to yell at the characters while they are moving through the story. While the story is very well told, the plot points are improbable.

'And a Sixpence for Luck' was entertaining and lighthearted filled with hilarious bursts of luck (both good and bad) amidst watching a young woman go through a rather interesting turn of events in her life. A sixpence is introduced in order to bring good luck to this young woman down on her luck but instead of bringing good luck, the sixpence sets forth the worst batch of bloody bad luck you could imagine, and yet some of it turns out to be the best of luck with a very happy ending.

One of the themes in the novel is the idea that you can be with someone for years and love them but not be in love with them. Knowing things about someone doesn’t mean that you have a meaningful relationship and that you're in love with one another. You have to be in love with the person, not just the idea of having someone there in an effort to not be alone. It’s important to open your eyes and understand why you’re with someone to be sure that you’re both in it fully and for the right reasons.

I thought it was interesting that someone’s perspective of another person could be so off, like Daisy's initial judgment of her brother’s wife Zoe. I enjoyed the various relationships that began and blossomed throughout the book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story. 

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

nd a sixpence for luck was an absolute delight to read!

Is a heartwarming read with a dash of romance and lashings of laugh out loud moments.

Daisy is a character that I immediately warmed to. The story begins when Daisy returns home from work early to find her boyfriend in the arms of Carla who is actually Carl! Moving back home to her Mum was not what Daisy, at the age of 30 had on her list of future plans. In fact, losing her job, being mistaken for her brother’s mistress and falling in love with a very sexy doctor were all situations she hadn’t bargained for. When her Great Grandmother suggested Daisy put her lucky sixpence in the Christmas pudding for luck Daisy thought why not, and here the story begins.

Lilac has written a book which is totally relatable, haven’t we all got a ditsy friend who seems to have disaster written all over them? I really enjoyed the comedy factor throughout the book, it wasn’t cheesy predictable comedy more misunderstandings that ballooned out of control.

The love interest is a very sexy doctor but this is Daisy Jones and let’s face it the path of true love never goes smoothly!

If you’re looking for a book that will bring you lots of giggles and a surprise around every corner this is the book for you!
