Dead men can't love. Former drug trafficker Richmond "Lucky" Lucklighter "died" in the line of duty while working off a ten-year sentence in service to the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau, only to be reborn as Simon "Lucky" Harrison. The newbie he trained, former Marine Bo Schollenberger, is now his partner on (and maybe off) the job. It's hard to tell when Lucky doesn't understand relationships or have a clue what any sane human is doing in his bed. Bo's nice to have around, sure, but there's none of that picking-out-china-together crap for Lucky. While fighting PTSD, memories of a horrid childhood, and a prescription drug addiction, Bo is paying for his mistakes. Using his pharmacy license for the good guys provides the sort of education he never got in school. Undercover with his hard-headed partner, Bo learns that not everything is as it seems in the world of pharmaceuticals. When a prescription drug shortage jeopardizes the patients at Rosario Children's Cancer Center, it not only pits Bo and Lucky against predatory opportunists, but also each other. How can they tell who the villains are? The bad guys don't wear black hats, but they might wear white coats.… (mehr)

Much of the first five chapters are not as well-written as the first book led me to expect. And I am struggling to get past 20%; Lucky has been returned to his original obstinate self rather than retaining even a little of what he'd gained by the end of book 1.

I enjoyed the first novel in this series. I liked the first part of book 2. And I made it almost a third of the way in, but the last bit was a struggle, because Lucky may be smart but he's also hopeless. That's how it feels to me.

It is very tricky, using an incredibly obstinate character as the only POV. For most readers, you have to strike a balance between 'own worst enemy' and 'hopeless.' There are (checks Goodreads) nine books in this series. How long will Lucky slide back to square one? I don't care to find out.

This is a fantastic continuation of Bo and Lucky's story. Lucky's attitude has definitely been toned down a bit, but he's still full of attitude and having trouble defining Bo's place in his life.

There is a lot more action in this book. The sex is still hot, but there are a lot more romantic moments as well. And of course the one thing Lucky doesn't want to think a about: building of a relationship!

Definitely worth rereading in the future. ( )

Great character and snarky dialogue. ( )

3,5 stars.

I liked this one ok - it was funny and entertaining, but somehow it was not as amazing as I remembered the first one to be. Also I wasn't so into the crime/drug trafficking plot. It was well researched and all, but simply didn't grab me - I think it's a case of "it's me, not the book".
Bo and Lucky were interesting characters, but again not as amazing as I remembered. ( )
