He was my fantasy. I was his way out.
It was only supposed to be one weekend.
Now I'm serving this young muscle god's every desire
and I can't get enough.

Was it too soon to call it love?
Is that even what this was?
This unstoppable tangle
of dominance, compassion, and lust between us?

He was the one thing in my numb, lonely world
that made me feel beautiful, wanted, and alive.

I knew it was wrong to live out all of my
secret sexual fantasies with him,
but he wanted it just as badly as I did
and didn't we both deserve to get what we needed?

Even if he might be dangerous.
Even if I was a total fool for getting in this deep.
Even if I was risking everything to have him.

"Getting Lucky" is a steamy stand-alone romance.

this story was a combination of fun and light, sexy and hot, drama and angsty, lust and love.

the book switches directions quickly in lots of spots- it goes from lusty dom/sub to ridiculous internal confessions of soul deep love compared to the poetry of creation (after knowing each other maybe 2 weeks) .
it was definitely insta lust to insta love. _ but in the epilogue 3 years later their relationship is still identified as non labeled or categorized ?? they've already said the i love yous and lived together 3 years- but no label ?? might as well be called married.

the age gap seemed ridiculous - just 19 with somebody in early to mid 30's. that is skirting kid/adult hanky panky- so be aware.

the adult (james) actually hides the kid (lucas) in his closet when his mom comes to visit- cause he's too stupid to just introduce lucas as a friend ?? is that the type of smarts you want managing your money at the bank?

- james also allows his friends to bully him- they're written as a group of good friends but what kind of friend offers to keep a secret and then says he'll tell if you don't do what he says- when duncan demanded james introduce him to lucas.. there were lots of contradictions in the character of some of these people.
- and a group of 4-5? adult friends in their 30's that go gambling every 2 weeks and get wasted regularly - . i don't want to hang with fellow adults who drink to get drunk like they're in a college frat party

the story couldn't decide if it was a comedy or a drama or porn- so a porny dramedy ??

there were introductions to unnecessary throw away characters- kelsey and grandpa arty. it was a bit of an effort to get through the last 1/4 of the book-
= i mostly enjoy daryl banner books- he does funny and sexy really well. LOVED his Spruce Texas books

As a fan of Darryl's books, I have to say that this one was a tough one to read. It was heart wrenching, heartbreaking and lovely all at the same time. I know that sounds like an oxymoron but it is the best way I can describe all the feels that you get while reading this book. As a mother myself I cannot imagine any parent letting their child run away while still grieving the loss of their mother and to be so selfish to replace her immediately with a female so self indulgent as the infamous "countess c***". No wonder the boy ran away. HIs father was cold and unfeeling and literally sent his son onto the streets with nothing but the clothes on his back. It was so unbelievably sad and scary for the young man and yet our hero, James, saw something in him and had to rescue him. It was serendipity when the two of them collided literally and James was immediately smitten. The story that unfolds from there is really amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. Two very lost souls found each other at that moment and began a journey of redemption for them both. There were times while reading this book that I had to put it down and walk away for a spell because it was so hurtful to read yet I had to keep reading it to find out how it ended. Perhaps because I am a mother myself that is why it touched me so and made it so difficult to read because all I could think about was "how could any parent be so cruel to their own child?" It was so well written and very well done. Good job Darryl. You wrote an excellent book.

Thank you Daryl. I haven’t read book from you yet that hasn’t moved me, but this one really moved me. I see a bit of myself in James, and once again you’ve reminded me that it’s worth while holding on to hope and keeping an open heart. I do need to stop finishing your stories in a 24 hour period or less, but your words make the time fly like no one’s business.

3.0 out of 5 stars promising start but dnf...
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018
so I liked the mystery around the initial meeting for the two MCs and the inevitable relationship as a result. Sexual tension was there. When I start to question my attention wanes, especially if my questions are...would a guy really say that or do this? To me, 4 straight guys doubling up in 2 hotel rooms twice a mo for fun in Vegas is kinda weird. It's seems pricey for a teacher, bank loan officer, bank security guard, and coffee shop owner. Too frequent a trip for guys who aren't hardcore gamblers ruining their lives. Also kinda female the way they bickered. Ok, next there's MC rebel Luke living that street life, but who also happens to come from privilege. Like almost daddy warbucks privilege. So, why is he so blown away by the bankers house? Luke describes a garage large enuf for more than one car, home with an open plan, huge kitchen with island, travertine tile, huge masterbath, whatever. The banker inherited the house from his grandparents. I guess it was grandma's dream house via HGTV because it didn't really read like this old house usually left to relatives. Anyway, the distractions were piling up for me, add in the banker stamping his foot and rolling his eyes...I'm through...

James has been coming with his friends to the casinos every other weekend for years. When he glimpses a super hot guy he is insanely intrigued. He keeps seeing him at a distance. When he tries to go after him he blindly runs into someone and gets knocked down. He looks up and the mystery man is staring down at him. Lucky ran away from home when his father made his life miserable. He is doing the best he can to survive. He belittles James and walks off, leaving James hurt and angry. James returns to his hum drum life but can’t get Lucky out of his head. He decides to go back to the casino by himself and see if he can find him again.

Super sweet with a bit of angst. Filled with Daryl’s should be trademarked humor, the book is entertaining. His phrasing is almost poetically hilarious at times (“The second the doors slid open, I burst out from them like a liberated cat from a pet taxi.”). Lucky’s situation was handled with sensitivity. I liked the camaraderie between James’s friends and family.

The romance was hot and sexy. The progression of the relationship was believable. A really amazing, satisfying read.

First heard about Luckie during a conversation between Kelsey and Toby, in their school times in Spruce and I immediately got curious to read this story.

And what a nice plot this story was.

I would definitely recommend to everyone.

James has been with the bank where he works for ten long years. He thinks you would have more to show for it than three weeks paid vacation a year and a weekend away at the casinos on the beach each fortnight with his buddies. But he's single and rattling around in a huge house he inherited, listening to Chopin and Marilyn Manson, all on his lonesome.

Lucky is down on his luck, see what I did there. He ran away from his home over a year before, after his dad got remarried and it was made obvious by his new stepmother that Lucky was no longer welcome there. Since then, homeless, Lucky has been living hand to mouth out of his backpack learning to survive, and hanging around the casinos, the beach and the park in town.

James first spots the beauty, he later learned he was called Lucky, leaning against a wall near the reception of the hotel where he and his buddies were staying on their weekend out of town. The immediate attraction James feels towards the young man, the "cocky kid", was off the charts, he couldn't explain it. James just knew he needed to meet him, talk with him, not "never see him again". The hunger James felt when he looked at the young man was such that the next weekend, James drove himself, alone, to the beach casinos to find him. James does find him, and thus begins the journey for James and Lucky - James has found his fantasy, now he gets to live it. James can't believe Lucky can "read him" so well. Lucky is the epitome of James' fantasy lover. James wants someone to take control of him, to be in charge in the bedroom - and elsewhere - and "cocky kid" Lucky does that so well.

Lucky moves in with James and their mutual learning process begins. James gets to know the man beneath the arrogant exterior that Lucas has created to protect himself, and displays to the world. Lucas can't believe his luck, to be living with a man such as James, so caring and nurturing. But shadows lurk from Lucas' past, will they encroach on Lucas' new world?

Daryl Banner has a brilliant way with words - this book is full of snappy dialogue, it's smart and funny, it will give you goosebumps. As with other novels by Daryl, the emotional connection between the two main characters is wonderfully painted, tearfully touching in places. Parts of Lucas' story are heart wrenching - there is some angst - and he and James get extremely steamy together (and not just in the shower and bathtub!). Getting Lucky is a standalone M/M romance told from dual points of view with no cliffhanger. M/M love scenes with light control/submissive elements. Another great read from Daryl Banner which I enjoyed immensely.

Daryl Banner is very talented. This is my second novel I've read of his and I love his writing. The chemistry between the two protagonists was amazing and sexy. I also liked the fact that there was plenty of angst but not the great break up and make up argument you usually see in romance novels which makes a great and interesting change for once. I'm off to read the rest of Mr Banners books.
