New Release: The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck by Kylie Scott + Review!

 

The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck by Kylie Scott is now available!

“Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.”

When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in that nonsense anyway?

But when the first three predictions come true within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.

While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days may be numbered.

Red White and Royal Blue meets The Last Holiday in this delightfully quirky novel from the New York Times bestselling author of End of Story, about a woman who unexpectedly finds "fall in love with a prince" at the top of her bucket list.

 This was a cute book! The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck is a standalone book by Kylie Scott. It is Lilah and Alistair's story. Lilah goes to her friend's bachelorette party, where there is a hired fortune teller. She is too busy having fun with her friends to have her fortune read and doesn't put much stock in it anyway. However, on her way walking home, the fortune teller, an older women, nearly gets hit by a car and Lilah saves her from disaster. As a repayment, the fortune teller tells her this, “Be quiet and listen: He is cheating on you. The name of your soulmate is Alistair George Arthur Lennox. You will be passed over for the promotion. The winning numbers are 5-8-12-24-39-43. And I’m very sorry to tell you this, but you will die next Sunday.” Lilah thinks it's silly ramblings, but she gets home to find her live-in boyfriend cheating on her. Then she happens to run in to Alistair in public. Alistair is the illegitimate son of the King of England. His life is tabloid fodder and he is constantly in the news. So Lilah knows who he is. And the other premonitions also start to come true. She decides to create a bucket list of sorts of things she wants to experience, just in case she only has days to live. She tells Alistair of the fortune teller's predictions and though he doesn't believe them, he wants to help her. They become friends and then more as they spend the week together leading up to Sunday. But will that truly be the date Lilah dies?

This book was charming, unique and whimsical. I really liked Lilah and Alistair. The book took place over a week, but their romance seemed slow burn with plenty of time to get to know each other and fall in love. Alistair was the grumpy, silent type at first until he lets his guard down with Lilah. She herself was a charming librarian who spoke her mind. She was just what Alistair needed in his life.

Overall, this book had the perfect recipe for romance. It was sweet, sexy and witty with a touch of magic. I enjoyed it and look forward to more from Kylie Scott in the future!
