About the author
Carolyn Brown
182 books4,136 followersHi! I'm twenty five years old and movie star gorgeous. The camera added thirty plus years and a few wrinkles. Can't trust those cameras or mirrors either. Along with bathroom scales they are notorious liars! Honestly, I am the mother of three fantastic grown children who've made me laugh and given me more story ideas than I could ever write. My husband, Charles, is my strongest supporter and my best friend. He's even willing to eat fast food and help with the laundry while I finish one more chapter! Life is good and I am blessed!
Reading has been a passion since I was five years old and figured out those were words on book pages. As soon as my chubby little fingers found they could put words on a Big Chief tablet with a fat pencil, I was on my way. Writing joined reading in my list of passions. I will read anything from the back of the Cheerio's box to Faulkner and love every bit of it. In addition to reading I enjoy cooking, my family and the ocean. I love the Florida beaches. Listening to the ocean waves puts my writing brain into high gear.
I love writing romance because it's about emotions and relationships. Human nature hasn't changed a bit since Eve coveted the fruit in the Garden of Eden. Settings change. Plots change. Names change. Times change. But love is love and men and women have been falling in and out of it forever. Romance is about emotions: love, hate, anger, laughter... all of it. If I can make you laugh until your sides ache or grab a tissue then I've touched your emotions and accomplished what every writer sets out to do.
I got serious about writing when my third child was born and had her days and nights mixed up. I had to stay up all night anyway and it was very quiet so I invested in a spiral back notebook and sharpened a few pencils. The story that emerged has never sold but it's brought in enough rejection slips to put the Redwood Forest on the endangered list. In 1997 Kensington bought two books for their Precious Gems line. Two years and six books later the line died with only four of those books seeing publication. But by then Avalon had bought a book and another, and another. Ten years later the list has grown to thirty nine. Last year Sourcebooks bought the Lucky Series which is in the bookstores now. They've also bought The Honky Tonk Series which will debut with I LOVE THIS BAR in June and will be followed by HELL, YEAH, MY GIVE A DAMN'S BUSTED, and HONKY TONK CHRISTMAS.
Folks ask me where I get my ideas. Three kids, fifteen grandchildren, two great grandchildren. Note: I was a very young grandmother! Life is a zoo around here when they all come home. In one Sunday afternoon there's enough ideas to keep me writing for years and years. Seriously, ideas pop up at the craziest times. When one sinks its roots into my mind, I have no choice but to write the story. And while I'm writing the characters peek over my shoulder and make sure I'm telling it right and not exaggerating too much. Pesky little devils, they are!
I have a wonderful agent, Erin Niumata, who continues to work magic and sell my work. I'm very lucky to have her and my editors who continue to believe in me.
Happy reading!

July 2017: reread. still a five star for me.
there were a couple things that popped out to me this time around that was just weird and went unanswered or not the way i thought it should have. BUT still really good. this will always be reread potential for me :)

This was probably my favorite of the three, Because the writing got way better. She didn't have the characters ramble so much. You got to feel a bit more emotions. Also this one had cute kids, funny old ladies, and a strong heroine.

Wow! Ms. Brown is one of my favorites when it comes to writing cowboy romances. I loved Griffin and Julie, and the two little girls are absolutely darling. This is one of those books you have to read if you enjoy romance. I'm ready for more!

I’m always for giving an author a second chance, and I’m certainly glad I did for Carolyn Brown. This third book in her Lucky series is a little better for me than the second book was. However, there’s a few things in this one that still didn’t work for me, but overall this is more of an engaging read despite those issues.
There’s two really huge issues. First is the dialogue. Most of the time it’s just stiff and awkward. There’s several points where I wondered who on earth talks the way these characters do. Not anyone I’ve met anyway. What even makes it more difficult is that there are parts where the dialogue flows just fine and then suddenly it’s stilted, making the scenes almost comical. There is some good stuff here, but I’m just not sure what happens to make it go so off track.
Also, the way the author chooses to have Annie and Lizzy speak in this book is just as bad. I realize they’re only five years old and five-year-olds don’t understand verb tense and sometimes just use the wrong words when talking. Well, these two kids definitely do that. Quite a bit. What irritated me even more than the fact that they do it so much is that neither of their parents, nor their grandparents, aunts, friends, or whoever, ever correct them to teach them to speak properly. Maybe that’s too much of a nitpick on my part, but all I know is that it really distracted me throughout the book. We all correct kids when we hear poor grammar coming out of them, but not once did that happen in this book. The only correction either child got was the pronunciation of the name of a town. But it did happen with heroine, however; her mother corrected her at least once. You’d think the heroine would then do the same with those children.
My second issue with this book is the downright meanness some of these townspeople have for each other, all the name calling that goes on. Okay, I know this stuff happens in real life. Heck, I’ve done it myself a time or two in all my years. But as much as it happens in 416 pages, it’s just way too much and it’s a big turn off. I especially got tired of two mean old women going after each other every time they showed up in the story. But it’s not just the two old biddies who do this. Even the hero and his sister jump to the same conclusion without asking questions of Julie to find out what the heck is going on when she coincidentally finds her way into the hero’s life. The only thing I didn’t like about the hero is he never thinks about how what he’s doing is affecting his brother’s child. I found that simply outrageous.
And all this seems to be a way of writing for Ms. Brown in this series. That was part of my problem with the previous book I read. If it’s toned down some, it probably wouldn’t be all that bad or distracting. But the way it is now, is just too negative to read over and over and over again.
What is good about this book, though, is the fact that despite these things, Ms. Brown makes me care about these characters. I liked the premise of this book. Julie has a one-night stand six years ago as she’s going through a divorce, something she’d never done before and hasn’t since. The charismatic G. Luckadeau shipped out to Iraq the very next day, so when she finds herself pregnant, she has no way of getting hold of the man. She’s been raising her daughter just fine on her own since then, even despite the white streak in Annie’s black hair, something that kids constantly tease her about. So much so that they’ve moved to St. Jo to start anew.
But when she crosses paths with the man she thought she’d never see again, suddenly her life is in turmoil again from both the man himself and the townsfolk, because they all assume Annie is his daughter. And it doesn’t help matters when Annie befriends his daughter, Lizzy, who looks just like Annie, white streak and all. Come to find out, her one-night stand has a twin brother, Griffin, and now he thinks Julie is only in St. Jo to get a cut of the family ranch, and there’s no way in hell that’s going to happen.
I really liked these two characters right off the bat (even despite the aforementioned lapse on the hero’s part). Though they also have some arguments that are a little too much and too frequent when a different type of scene would have worked, I cared about what happens to them and their daughters. I wanted to know how they were going to come to an agreeable solution to their situation, something that would work for everyone.
For me, all those extraneous characters and their name calling could have been left out, Griff and Julie could have worked together sooner, and the book would have gotten a much better grade. I’m on the fence now when it comes to reading any more by this author. I wanted to read more of her work after reading the previous book to see if the negativity is a theme in her writing. Finding out it is as far as this series is concerned, this book did work slightly better, though it’s not quite as good as I’d hoped.

The third in the Lucky trilogy, Ms. Brown does not disappoint! I was as captivated with this one as I was with the previous two.
Griffin Luckadeau is a single dad raising his five year old daughter Lizzy. He divorced her mother when she was a baby, and paid her off to get sole custody. Lizzy has the lucky streak, a white streak down the part of her dark hair. Imagine Griffin's shock when he finds himself staring at Lizzy's twin on her first day of kindergarten.
Julie Donovan moved to town to get a fresh start for her and her five year old daughter Annie. Her husband divorced her for adultery, even though they were technically divorced when she had a drunken one night stand five years ago with a soldier named G. Luckadeau. She is as shocked as Griffin is when she sees the two girls together. She wastes no time yelling at Griffin because he doesn't remember her. He swear he never saw her before in his life, and it isn't long before the whole town is passing judgement.
Annie is the daughter of Griffin's twin brother Graham, but the townsfolk naturally assume she is Griffin's. Even though there are sparks between Julie and Griffin, it goes no further. He is determined she planned it all out, coming to town to ensure she gets a piece of the Luckadeau money. Julie just wants to be left alone, raising her daughter. She sure didn't plan to leap from one frying pan to the other. She may be attracted to Griffin, but he can't get past the fact she slept with his late brother, and she can't move past the fact she is six years older than him.
GETTING LUCKY is a sweet romance filled with hunky men and plucky women. Women who aren't scared to speak their minds and fight with all they have for what they believe in. I laughed out loud in several places as well as wiped a few tears. Carolyn Brown has magic at her fingertips when she writes. I'm actually sad to see this series end; I could read about the Luckadeau's for a long, long time.

I just love Carolyn Brown! She has a way to draw you into the story and make you feel a part of it! This was Griffin's and Julie's story. What a firecracker Julie is! Her one night stand six years ago turns out to be one of her greatest joy's in life. Until she meets Griffin Luckadeau! I loved the banter between these two! I fell in love with the kid's and of course the most hilarious old ladies! What a great book with many laugh's and coming together moment's.

Rating 3.5
I’m always delighted when I pick up a new-to-me Carolyn Brown romance. This was the first I read in the Luckadeau/Lucky series and, while it had it’s share of problems, I still enjoyed it.
The premise of this was a bit different—Julie’s starting over in a new town to protect her daughter, Annie, from the gossipers but when she discovers a little girl in her class is the spitting image of her daughter right down to the white streak in her hair, she’s left with more questions and problems than she had before. Although Griffin’s attracted to Julie and curious about Annie, he’s leery about why they’re in town and he’s not about to let Julie into his life or his daughter’s life without a fight. Yet as the two little girls grow closer and event throw Julie and Griffin together, he soon starts to realize just what an amazing pair they make.
I thought that Griffin and Julie were interesting. They were both distrusting of each other, but that’s to be expected given what they had both been through. Both were amazing parents and seem to be good people who stepped up when they needed to. But they both had major flaws. Julie was constantly going on about how she was older and wiser than Griffin so she knew what was best for him and the girls. Griffin was determined to hold the sins of his ex-wife and his cousin’s ex-girlfriend over all of womankind so, in his mind, everything that Julie was doing (even the fact she had Annie) was just her way of getting her hooks into his family’s ranch.
While Griffin and Julie were interesting together, I didn’t really see much chemistry or a developing relationship. Sure, there was attraction but their relationship went from distrust/anger/distrust/sex/arguing/distrust/ignoring each other to bickering/sex/let’s get married. There was no relationship growth or even a getting to know you period. I would even classify this as instalust/love as I didn’t see much of that either.
I wasn’t a massive fan of the bit of drama in this one provided by Griffin’s ex. It just seemed a bit odd.
What saved this for me were the spunky little girls, the spirited secondary characters, and the sense of family and community Carolyn Brown’s books always offer.
This was my first time listening to Brian Hutchison narrate and I found him to be enjoyable.
Overall, this one wasn’t a bad book but it wasn’t one of my favorites. It was lacking in the romances department but still a worthy read.

Gahhhhhhh that’s not how restraining orders work!!! You can’t just get them because you want them, you need to have genuine reason so no way in hell could some old woman get one on every member of a family just because she thought they were demon spawn. Secondly, they aren’t hereditary! Restraining orders aren’t property based anyways and they especially aren’t with a property from owner to owner. It’s just a really glaring and inaccurate detail that really pissed me off. Also the whole “Irish redhead temper thing”…really? This isn’t 1980, come up with some new material.
You! Always! Wear! The! Fire! Gear! No firefighter worth their salt would ever take off their gear because they “couldn’t breathe” in it! That’s why it flipping has oxygen!!!!!!! It’s not a matter of dodging minor burns, it’s about protecting your skin from smoke, heat and flame and crucially, your flipping lungs. The whole volunteer firefighter plot is just pointless. It’s all minor details that just clearly weren’t checked for reality at all that really irk me with this book (plenty of other stuff too, but these details generate so much rage they’re the only thing fueling this review).
Long complaints about tiny details short, I didn’t like this book. First 2/3 was enough to keep me entertained in a grotesque enjoyment sense but last third was so pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen I almost quit. Suffice to say I don’t think Contemporary Western is the genre for me (but I will hold out hope for lesbian cowboys because I am nothing if not predictable).

Darn, I should have taken a break between the 3 books. I haven't read a western romance set like this so I had to get used to the words. I was hoping for something different because again the main story was good but the characters we exactly the same.... Stubborn spitfire woman meets just as stubborn spitfire man. They don't like each other. He thinks she's after his money. She has her own and not saying anything. All the women ran from something from the past. They all had no nonsense knock you on your rear attitudes. It wasn't believable to me with the characters being too much alike anymore.

Great book! This book reads great as a standalone. I have not not the first two books in this series. Julie and her daughter move to Saint Jo to start over, she was tired of the gossip about her and her daughter. Griffin has a ranch in Saint Jo. He also has a daughter the same age as Julie’s daughter. Julie and Griffin had never met before she moved to Saint Jo, they meat when he brings his daughter to kindergarten and Julie is also the teacher. Their daughters immediately are drawn to each other because they have the same hair color with white streak. Griffin does not trust Julie and thinks that she had an ulterior motive for moving to Saint Jo.

Mediocre romance story although the beginning was interesting and the confusion real. The story line seemed to drag out for ages. Julie as a mother was interesting but not so much as a lover. Griffin was a bit too laid back for my tastes, although he had his moments. Overall, a bit disappointing.

I like a good western romance story, and this is one. It's full of great characters, with a good mixture of dialog between them. Do they believe in fate? Seem that when you go to Saint Jo, Texas romance happens. Even for Julie Donavan and Griffin Luckadeau, the sparks begin to fly, though they both try to hold themselves back. A good read.

This is another good book by Carolyn. I have enjoyed this series very much. I love the banter between the older characters in the book. They had me laughing. I love Julie and Griffin' s family.

Great read
The book had believable characters and a realistic settimg.
Did not like the way five year olds were almost out of control.

Love it
I have read several of her books and love how they all follow book after book. I love seeing how the families have grown.

My favorite parts of this book was reading the scenes with the two little girls. The others were just annoying.

Julie and Griffin
I loved this book. Julie moves with her daughter to the country. She meets Griffin the first day of kindergarten. Their daughters look alike. A great romance

Wasn't a bad book, also wasn't great. The last chapter felt very rushed.

Slow moving cozy romance.
I listened to the audiobook version of this title, which is ideal for when you’re pottering about doing housework etc. not engrossing yet not necessarily dull.
