Jada Michaels is tired of the constant stream of losers knocking on her door. She wants a real relationship that will bring her the marriage she always hoped would come her way. Patrick Kaye desires a woman who can look past his geek exterior and discover the prince hidden within. Patrick and Jade are the best of friends, and while Jada has never looked at him as anything but, Patrick is ready for her to open him up like a box of Lucky Charms to discover the secret treasure. Will Jada finally break the glass box she has Patrick trapped in called “friendship” or is he destined to nothing more than a platonic companion?

After reading Lucky Charms, I could see both characters’ side clearly. Patrick is a man who knows his worth and wants a woman to recognize it without glamour trappings to lure her to him. Ingrained with the concept of not settling at a young age, Jada still holds a firm belief in that way of thinking. I was pleased to see the extent Patrick was willing to go for Jada’s love and pleased that while Jada fought the attraction, she acknowledged where her heart lay without Patrick going “caveman” on her. Marie Rochelle, as always, has brought a delightful interracial relationship for our reading pleasure, and I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings to us next.
