#3 Lucky O’Toole Vegas Adventure Series
Author: Deborah Coonts
Genre: Mystery; Humor; Light Romance
Published: February 2012 – Forge
My take: When a magician’s act seems to go tragically wrong Lucky O’Toole, head of customer relations/chief problem solver at the Babylon Resort, feels she must find out what happened since it happened at her hotel. Another disappearance in Lucky’s life is that of her boyfriend Teddie. He’s off to Europe to follow his dream of being a music star. That’s left a void in Lucky’s life but she soon has suitors vying for her attention. Add to the mix the fact that it’s Halloween week in Vegas – let the games begin!
I love it when the third book in a series is even better than the first two. So Damn Lucky is a fun adventure that goes from Las Vegas to Area 51. Oh yeah, there’s also a meet-up of UFO aficionados at The Babylon. They add a lot of color to the plot – and then some!
Fortunately, for Lucky, she has the loyal support of coworkers and friends in solving the mystery and getting through the hectic week. So Damn Lucky is a fast paced and entertaining novel that makes me want to book a flight to Las Vegas (I’ve never been) and visit many of the sites mentioned in the series. Is there really a drive-through wedding chapel?!
So Damn Lucky can be read without reading the first two books in the series but I highly recommend starting with the first: Wanna Get Lucky? Deborah Coonts left me wondering what could possibly come next for Lucky – at work and in love. I can’t wait to find out!

Glad to hear this was even better than the previous books. Sometimes it seems as if it takes a while for a series to become established and yet other series tend to burn out very quickly, I’m glad to read this was in the former category.

This does sound like a lot of fun, and I am always up for a read that is a bit unusual. I think I am going to check around and see if I can find the first two books before reading this one. Great review today!

This does sound fun. I’ve never read any of them but it’s always a good sign when the later books in the series are even better than the first ones. Most times that doesn’t seem to happen.
