My Review:

All's Well that Friends Well is the second book in the Lucky in Love series. This series is about a sibling group, and while I will always recommend reading them in order, this one could be read as a standalone. The first book is about Indie, and this one is about Juliette, and they have two other siblings, Aurora and Silas. 

I loved this story. I enjoyed meeting Juliette in the first book, but getting to know her in this one is so much fun. Her meet-cute with Luca technically happened in the first book, but it is also mentioned in this book. 

I was not sure I was going to like Luca. I did not think he was nice enough or good enough for Juliette. He is gruff and comes across as rude. However, once you understand the pain, guilt, and hurt he holds onto, you come to understand him so much better, and like Juliette says, he is soft under that gruff exterior.

One of the things I enjoy about books like this is that, overall, they are light. However, Juliette and Luca do deal with heavier issues, making the story more meaty than just fluffy.

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

My love for Luca Slater is not unrequited. It's just…not requited yet.

Did I break into his house? Technically yes. And did I eavesdrop on that one tiny little conversation? Also yes. But I had good reasons!

Unfortunately, Luca does not agree. So while I fell for him at first sight, his opinion of me is dismally low, and it’s about to get lower. Because as of today, I am officially working at his office…as the new janitor.

Cleaning toilets isn’t sexy, and I am not cut out for sanitizer and scrub brushes. But I need this job—begged for this job, in fact—so I’m going to make the best of it.

When I see Luca is having some work problems of his own, however, and when I realize I might be just the person to help, I offer my services immediately. As the new branch manager, he needs help softening his image in order to win over his employees, and if there’s one thing I’m great at, it’s people skills.

If I can prove useful, maybe Luca will finally see me as a woman instead of a silly little girl. Maybe he’ll finally realize I’m the one he’s destined to be with forever.

So I’ll help Luca win over his employees, and while I’m at it, I’ll win him over, too. I’m going to do everything I can to make this man fall for me…

One mopped floor at a time.
