Wahrscheinlich sollte ich mich geschmeichelt fühlen, dass sich direkt nach meinem Umzug in eine neue Stadt der begehrteste Junggeselle im Umkreis von dreißig Meilen für mich interessiert. Allerdings ist Aufmerksamkeit exakt das Gegenteil von dem, wofür ich mit meinen Freundinnen in die verschlafene Kleinstadt Springfair im Sleepy Oaks County gekommen bin. Wir müssen nämlich eine Weile untertauchen, nachdem wir drei Banken hintereinander überfallen und mehr als zwanzig Millionen Dollar erbeutet haben – doch natürlich ist besagter Junggeselle nicht nur überaus hartnäckig, sondern auch noch der Sheriff ... Willkommen im Sleepy Oaks County, wo die Cowboys noch frei über die Felder streifen dürfen und sich kriminelle Frauen nicht zähmen lassen wollen. Wie gut, dass es Lassos gibt ... Düstere Themen. Eindeutige Szenen. Deutliche Sprache. In sich abgeschlossen, aber Teil einer Reihe mit wiederkehrenden Figuren.

Can Lucky handle the fallout and catch a killer? A light, funny, romantic mystery providing a Vegas escape appropriate for anyone looking for a good laugh. Get your copy today! AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS Why did you decide to write humor? I’m not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky books, specifically to Lucky’s own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I’ve found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good—or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother. And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her. The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design? When I set out to write Wanna Get Lucky?, I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works. PRAISE FOR Lucky Bastard “If you’re entertained by sex, innuendo and a few fantasies you’d like to see played out—and who isn’t?—you ought to have Lucky and her extended Vegas family (So Damn Lucky, 2012, etc.) on speed dial.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review “This fast, funny, frantic Vegas-set series offers great laughs as well as compelling mystery and intriguing continuing characters. You’ll want to spend more time with Lucky, the daughter of a former madam and a mobster.” - RT Book Reviews “…the talented Coonts takes the reader on another wild ride through Sin City.” - Booklist “Lucky’s sass and snark make for fun reading…” - Publishers Weekly
