Happy-Go-Lucky

By: L. H. Cosway

Narrated by: Stacey Holmes

Every workplace has that one person you don’t want to mess with.

At James & Peterson Investigations, that would be Cameron Grant: sullen, grouchy, intimidating, oh yeah, and sexy as hell. He can make your soul wither with a single disapproving glare. And he never, ever socializes with his co-workers.

This is why Maisie Wilkins, happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine, can’t fathom why Cameron finally decided to show up at their annual office Christmas party. Every year he received an invite, and every year he failed to attend. But not this year.

Curious as to why he’s there, Maisie can’t resist sitting next to Cameron. Before she knows it, she’s had one too many drinks and is drunkenly hailing a cab back to his place. Office party flings are not something she normally does, but despite his intimidating character, Cameron has a charm she can’t resist. Or maybe it was just those five gin and tonics blurring her judgement.

Whatever the reason, Maisie now has to navigate the awkward, tension filled waters of sharing an office with someone she’s slept with.

Office Sweetheart Melts the Office Curmudgeon!

This was a 're-read' for me. I loved the performance by Stacey Holmes. Maisie is so much fun to listen to!

Maisie is a researcher at a PI firm. She is unfailing happy and friendly despite being the odd man out at the office.

At the company holiday party, she catches sight of the office grump (and always highly professional) sitting at the bar alone.

Cameron is only there because their boss told him to come. Maisie decides to approach him and thus a new path in life is begun for both of them.

She erodes his walls and doesn't even realize he does't fight her approach. He does not suffer fools lightly, so obviously he does not find her an annoying flibbertigibbet.

Not only is this a sweet, steamy romance, but it also has a mystery. A combination I adore!! Maisie is sweet, curious, optimistic, and persistent. Cameron is introverted, sexy, broody, and surprisingly sweet.

I listened to this in almost one sitting (body decided it wanted to sleep). I still feel like it gives the feel of an old Hollywood movie, like Charade or To Catch a Thief.

This book will make you smile

Maisie really is a ray of sunshine, she’s a kind hearted woman, she cares for others and she’s really smart, enough to make Cameron’s ice melt.
The story is surrounded by the typical office dynamics, making this office romance fun and sweet.
I particularly enjoyed the friendship between Lila and Maisie, I love to see genuine friendships between women in the books I read and I’m happy that it’s happening more often.
The investigation the couple is doing at the same time the story develops is fun and interesting without taking all the attention from their story.
This was a great listen, it really made me smile and I will be listening to it again, probably more than once.

so much fun!

Listening to this book was a lot of fun. The story is romantic, humourous, has a good dash of mystery and is well paced. The narration was really good too, and really brought to life the very British flavour of the story. The only reason I chose to give it 4 stars and not 5 for performance was that especially in the initial chapters whenever the narrator spoke Cameron's lines it struck me as odd... i kept expecting a male voice. A few chs in, i was used to it and i think she did a good job of sustaining different tones for all the different characters.

Bad voice for a man

Glad to see heroine make some changes that benefited her and speak up for herself. There have been so many times that I see nice people taken advantage of. The world is so much better with us in it, but we do need check ourselves and realize that we need to truly understand that we have to find that balance of being nice and being a pushover. That balance of giving all and expecting and receiving less is not healthy. Kindness, thoughtfulness and goodness are not to be taken for granted. They are meant to be reciprocated. Don’t forget. Pass it on

Loved it!

I’d already read “Happy-Go-Lucky” as an ebook a few months ago, but was excited to listen to the audiobook as a reread.

I loved how listening to the story of Maisie and Cameron was a completely new experience in audiobook format.
The narrator did a great job with the voices. She sounded exactly like I imagined Maisie to sound like when I was reading the book. The pacing was spot on, too.

Overall this was a great listen, and I hope there will be more audiobooks of Cosway’s books!
