Why read it?

1 author picked Third Time Lucky as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Sometimes, I find the grumpy/sunshine trope to be contrived, but Crane layers enough other elements into these men’s personalities that Lake drew me in immediately, and he worked as a delightful foil to Grady’s sharper edges.

Crane spends as much time developing their solid friendship as most authors do for the complete romance, and following Grady as he melted for Lake was compelling. I love stories about someone finding their person, no matter what form that person takes, and I appreciated the representations here of both bisexuality and demisexuality.

This book is hot and emotional in all the right ways…
