About this item

Every person she kisses finds their true love, and it’s never her—until now, in this funny and magically romantic short story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

Audrey Love is cursed to be the person before you find your soulmate, the girl you dump for your true love. So when her best friend disappears hours before his Valentine’s Day wedding, Audrey fears that she did the unthinkable and kissed him at last night’s bachelor party. With help from the best man, she retraces her steps to find the missing groom and, with any luck, a true love of her own.

Ashley Poston’s With Any Luck is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

A wedding planned by the overbearing bride's family goes haywire when the groom turns up missing after his bachelor party. Once again too much detail ruined the effect for me but otherwise an enjoyable, funny story.

If all six of these novellas are gold, I’m going to just keel over in shock.

???? ???????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????: With Any Luck by Ashley Poston

???? ????????????????????????: The Improbable Meet Cute novella collection by various authors.

???? ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????: Audio listen through Kindle. ????️ on KU to read and listen.

???? ????????????????????: Contemporary romance

???? ????????????????????????: ONS, wedding shenanigans, novella, meet cute

???? ????????????????????????????????: Audrey and Theo wake up from throwing the world’s best bachelor party to find the groom missing, and have to team up to find him.

???? ????????????????????????: One of the keys of a good novella to me is if I wished I had more of that couple - but also felt completely satisfied in the end. And all of the novellas in this series have totally nailed that.

So far I’ve found a lot of new-to-me authors to try out, and Ashley Poston is one of them. Great banter, and just such a cute concept - makes me want to see what she can do in 300 pages instead. Highly recommend this collection!

Like most romance readers, I have been using an hour here and an hour there to read the Improbable Meet-Cute Collection which came out 1/23/24. With Any Luck by Ashley Poston is my absolute fave!

Even though it is so short, it is divided into sections- Opening, Yesterday, Today, Last Night, Now, Last Night and Now. I am crazy about that kind of thing and it adds a little mystery when we (and the main characters) have to unravel what on earth happened.

In Acknowledgements, the author wrote, “And most importantly, thank you, to Amy McFadden, for bringing Audrey Love to life.” How thoughtful and how TRUE. McFadden did an excellent job with the narration and I hope to hear more from her.

This collection is free to Amazon Prime members, and is available on Kindle Unlimited. When I ordered the ebook on KU, the audiobook showed up in my Audible app like magic!

5/5 ⭐️

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
Audrey Love came from a family that was good at match making and putting other couples together one way or another. Unfortunately they never seemed to find love for themselves. It seemed that whoever they kissed found their true love the very next day.

Audrey’s best friend’s seemingly forever was a handsome guy named Rhett, and he really was just her friend. When it was time for him to get married he asked Audrey to be his best man. Rhett assured her that she would get along famously with the maid of honor. Who happened to be a handsome guy Audrey had already done just about everything with except kiss. Theo told her that he didn’t kiss her before because she was superstitious, but this time he was coming for the kiss.

This was a cute novella, but required a little too much explaining. It could have been really fun, but it fell a little short.

I was feeling this until it was revealed that she had a very intimate moment with Theo while very drunk. That is the quickest way to throw ice cold water on any good vibes. Clearly she was drunk enough to have a raging hangover and not remember being intimate with Theo. All she could talk about was the amount of tequila she drank. She thought she kissed her best friend at first. Bro, don't take advantage of a drunk girl. Come on.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very unique
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
The setup of the story was very interesting, and though this trope has been done before it felt fresh and unique. I liked the story, and it kept my interest. There was a suspenseful element as our pair are on a mission, which I liked. I liked our couple together. For a short format, there was plenty of tension, history, and banter between them, and I did appreciate that, however the ending was a bit rushed. I needed a little bit more for me to believe in their HEA.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Fun, and Quick
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2024
It was cute, fun, and quick.
But what was the point?
The last names were so cliche, and the ending just made me wonder why I read this at all. At least it was short - and cute, fun, and quick.

This story is entertaining but unfortunately has too many cliches like the Valentine's wedding. The author acknowledged that the story is similar to My best friend's wedding.
But I will love to read more from her, I liked how she writes.
