Review of 'Too Lucky to Live' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
After a divorce that left her with nothing, Allie is living in a small house and riding the bus to save money to fix her car. While waiting for a bus, she helps a blind man that is startled in the middle of the road. Allie is so taken by Tom's looks that invites him to her home so she can cook the few groceries he has left.

I enjoyed this book for two reasons, the first is that the romance is solved in 10 pages (or less) and so the story is mostly focused on hiding from killers, finding bodies and counting friends and foes. The second is that Allie and Tom do not take anyone for granted and suspect everyone they meet, which makes them slightly smarter than most characters in this type of story. Unfortunately, the baddie is not that hard to guess, but I enjoyed the way the text is written and learnt a couple of new words.
Small remark: I did not find this book as close to Stephanie Plum's (by [a:Janet Evanovich|2384|Janet Evanovich|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1478729372p2/2384.jpg]) as the reviews said. It is not laugh out loud, nor laugh softly, it is a crime fiction novel that entertains in a non-nonsense way that is nothing like Stephanie's.
