NEW RELEASE
With a Little Luck - Caprice Crane (2011)
Beryl "Berry" Lambert is extremely superstitious. She won't walk under a ladder and keeps a four-leaf clover in her wallet. She doesn't believe in luck however, subscribing to the theory that everything happens for a reason. As a radio DJ, Berry often gets the chance to voice her opinions on certain things and get varied responses. Sometimes, she makes the mistake of speaking too freely about her love life - or lack of it - forgetting that there are a lot of people listening and judging her. But Berry doesn't care. She's had two bad relationships in a row so as a firm believer that everything comes in threes, Berry is prepared to meet her third Mr Wrong. So when she meets DJ Ryan Riley she knows it can't work. Yes, he's funny and sweet, not to mention good looking too, but the relationship is bound to fail. That's just the way her luck goes. But after years of playing by the rules of superstition, it might be good for Berry to roll her dice and hope for the best because unless she takes a chance, she'll never know what could have been. Will she finally risk it all on Ryan? This is an enjoyable romantic comedy, with Berry as a witty and completely captivating character. (AS)
TV writer and novelist Caprice Crane returns with a story about a radio DJ who could do with a little luck in love. The summary of With a Little Luck says: "If love is in the cards, then somebody stacked the deck. Los Angeles radio DJ Beryl "Berry" Lambert, whose name means luck, doesn't much believe in it - although, thanks to her dear old gambling dad, she's a bit superstitious, certain that everything happens for a reason. She keeps a four-leaf clover in her wallet, never takes off her horseshoe necklace, and won't tempt fate by walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella indoors. Ever. When it comes to love, though, she could use a little luck. Two disastrous relationships back-to-back can mean only one thing to a woman who knows that everything good or bad happens in threes: A third Mr Wrong is imminent. But fellow DJ Ryan Riley goes against the odds. Their on-air battle of the sexes is a hit for the station and sparks some serious heat after hours. Ryan is funny and sexy, and he thinks Berry's quirkiness is cute. Is their romance doomed by the numbers - or is a girl who leaves nothing to chance finally ready to gamble?" With a Little Luck is out in July.
