Today best selling author Rebecca Forster’s twenty-something books
mostly fit within the broad mystery genre, some in the legal thriller
subgenre and others harder to classify. Forster is a two-time winner
in the Books and Pals Readers’ Choice Awards, with Before
Her Eyes topping the
mystery category in 2013 and Eyewitness
(book 5 of the Witness Series) getting the nod from our readers in
2014.

Description:
“Oh,
Boy! Oh, Bailey!
Find a
penny, pick it up; just don't bank on Lady Luck.
Bailey
Devlin is on the fast track to happiness. The bar exam is behind her
(for the second time), Jeffery adores her, and her hobbled together
family of misfits becomes dearer by the day. The future isn't just
bright, it is dazzling. But Lady Luck has taken note and decides a
little mischief is in order. As Bailey and Jeffery set out for a very
special weekend, they come across a penny in the most amazing place.
It doesn't take long for Bailey to realize that she made a big
mistake picking this one up, and now Bailey is on a tear to put
things right. But Lady Luck is no pushover and Bailey learns that bad
luck might just be the best luck of all.”
Appraisal:
Find
a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck.
In the
second installment of this trilogy, Bailey Devlin finds and picks up
a Penny, which leads to good luck, right? Of course it does. Bailey's
budding romance seems to be heating up when she's invited to meet her
beau's family. The visit goes well, although everything ─
the luck, Bailey's plans, and even the Penny ─
take different forms than you might guess.
Romantic
comedy is a change of pace for legal thriller author Rebecca Forster,
but she's acquitting herself well in this trilogy with great
characters, putting them in fun (and funny) situations, and in the
process lead character Bailey is learning about life. As new
challenges and obstacles are thrown in Bailey's path, she's realizing
what's important to her and what she wants out of life.
FYI:
This
is the second volume of a trilogy. While it might work as a
standalone, I'd advise reading the first installment before reading
this one.
