Reviews for The Lucky Lady - A Historical Romance Novel

Rating: 5 Angels
"The Lucky Lady was a book that had me hooked as soon as the characters met. I absolutely loved how Lila described Carter's eyes. The way Lila and Carter meet, combined with how they join together when danger enters her life, displayed much tender emotion. Ms. Quinn allowed the characters to feel, and to experience in a way that I felt like I was right next to them. I loved the way Ms. Quinn incorporated the story about how Carter cared for the girls in the saloon."
"Ms. Quinn is an incredible storyteller who has written a gripping and soul-stirring love story. This was a tender, loving romance that stole my heart. Every time I read a book by Janet Quinn, I feel like I have been transported into another time. She is truly a gifted writer, and is full of talent that gets better just like fine wine."
