“Getting Lucky”
a song by Tro Gunnison
Wouldn’t care if I could. I’m up to no good.
Taking what I want instead of what I should.
I’m made of pure greed. There’s shit that I need.
The mask is off and the demon’s freed.
I’m gonna get drunk.
I’m gonna get played.
I’m gonna get rich.
I’m gonna get laid.
And I’m gonna get Lucky.
Raised in the system, Shiloh Luck’s first sixteen years have been anything but lucky. After winning The Voice, she’s finally living the dream—a record contract, talk shows, a North American tour opening for the hottest band out there. Everything is going according to plan...until their frontman, Tro Gunnison, explodes her life into chaos. He’s shallow, self-centered, and completely infuriating, and he’ll do anything for notoriety. Including her. Like it or not, she’s stuck with him for three months on the road, but the longer they spend together, the more she begins to realize there’s more to Tro than anyone has ever dug deep enough to find. If his attention is anything other than just another publicity gimmick, she might let herself see where it leads. But before she can risk everything, she has to be sure.
If there’s one thing that Tro Gunnison has learned in the six years since he left his past in the dust, it’s that living life big, bold, and totally outrageous keeps people from seeing past the glare. He’s buried his demons beneath six feet of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and he’s convinced no one will ever dig them up…until Lucky. She’s young, but not naive, and without even trying, she sees past the facade to the man underneath…which scares the hell out of him. Because what started out as smoke and mirrors has somehow turned real, and for the first time in his life, there’s someone he cares about more than himself. But it turns out getting Lucky could be a double-edged sword.
He’s always been sure it would be his past that would bring him down, but it might turn out to be Jail Bait instead.
Mia Storm’s fourth installment, Getting Lucky is a breathtaking addition to the Jail Bait series. While each part can be read as a standalone, I would recommend reading each one because the previous title introduces the next charter. With that being said I wonder which direction Ms. Storm will following next.
Getting Lucky follows Shiloh Luck, whom was made known in Getting Hot. She’s the best friend of Lilah and a upcoming star after her major win on the Voice . Shiloh had a difficult life she's a ward of the state after being abandoned by her parents. Music has been her escape and freedom.Her newfound fame has also gained her a great deal of attention, one of her many admirers is non other than Roadkill’s frontman Tro Gunnison.
Tro is a bad boy, reckless, and a has an appeal like no other. It doesn’t take long to realize there’s more to him than what’s seen in the rare interviews that he’s done. Normally Tro has zero problem getting women to fall all over him without any effort, but it's something about Shiloh that knocks him off his game.
It was quite refreshing that Mia took a different approach with Getting Lucky which the angst and tension was defianitely there is was more of a slow build up without the steamy release. While the Jail Bait series is about forbidden love due to age difference, this may not be for everyone. At times I forget Shiloh was underage, I’m not sure if it was due to her maturity and the fact she’s been on her on for a large portion of her life. Even with street smarts and confident did not exempt her from being insecure at times causing her to question who can she trust.
Secretly not so secretly I’m hoping these two get another story even a novella only because the ending seemed a tad rushed. There was all this drama that kinda clean itself up with zero effort and life went on. With that being said I still even the writing and the journey. As always I’ll be on the lookout for more that Mia has to offer.
