ABOUT THE GOOD LUCK SISTER
After a difficult few years, Tilly Adams is ready for life to start going right. Though she has a case of first-day nerves teaching art at the local community college, she knows it isn’t anything a few snuggles from her rescue puppy won’t cure. Until she sees Dylan Scott again, her one-time BFF and first love sitting in the front row. Dylan knows he should’ve left well enough alone, but when he sees Tilly living her dream, he can’t help but make contact. Ten years ago, he left Wildstone and everything in it behind, including Tilly. He had his reasons, but now he wants her back in his life, anyway he can get her. When Tilly agrees to design the logo for Dylan’s new helicopter touring company, it’s business only . . . until she finds herself falling into his arms once again. Can she possibly open her heart back up to the only man who’s ever broken it? But soon they’re both realizing the truth—love always deserves a second chance.

The Good Luck Sister by Jill Shalvis is a novella in the Wildstone series. It's meant to be read after Lost and Found Sisters, so if you haven't read that one yet (and why haven't you read it yet?), go out and do that first. It will make much more sense and you feel the deeper connection Dylan and Tilly.

Tilly Adams didn't have an easy life and when her mother passed away, leaving her in the care of a sister who was completely unaware of her existence, Tilly began to rely more heavily on her best friend Dylan. He became her comfort, her sanity, her escape from things she didn't want to think about. Unfortunately, shortly after admitting his feelings for her, Dylan disappeared from her life, leaving her on her own feeling lost once again.

Dylan Scott has had to fight for every good thing in his life. Growing up as the punching bag of a drunk and angry father, he carries many demons and faces them on a daily basis. The only relief from his miserable existence as a young man was his friendship with Tilly Adams. The day of their first kiss rocked his world and upset his carefully balanced life. All he could think about were the what-ifs; what if he ruined their friendship with the kiss, what if he became an abusive bastard like his father, what if he brought Tilly down and held her back from all she could be?

I was just so thrilled to see that Jill Shalvis was continuing Tilly and Dylan's story. Their young love was cute and sweet, but they needed to face their demons and handle their business. They had some growing up to do. They did it and it is amazing. Shalvis uses actual excerpts from Lost and Found Sisters mixed with present happenings and it just sets the stage so very well.

Tilly is carrying a lot of pent up anger and pain. She has made a really great life for herself. She's not looking for a man to come in and change things. Dylan has a lot to make up for. He finally feels like he has made something of himself and has become a man that could possibly worthy of Tilly. This is an incredible accounting of the way Dylan proves to Tilly that they really do have a good thing and that they need to explore what their future could be together.

This story is short and sweet and everything that needed to happen after Lost and Found Sisters. Thank you Jill Shalvis for loving these characters enough and for wanting them to get their HEA after all.

5 out of 5 stars
