Once her best friend and cousin Faith's wedding is successfully blessed, Megan West has some plans of her own. After all Las Vegas has lots of shops, museums and other sights to fill this librarian's weekend. But first she has to make sure that this wedding goes off without a hitch. With her organization skills, she feels optimistic. She has planned for any and all contingencies... except one. When the best man's grandson, Logan, crashes the wedding thinking Buddy is the groom, Megan takes charge. Or at least, she tries. Not an easy task with this group doing their best to challenge her and put a kibosh on what should have been a perfect wedding.

Megan's life is filled with things she loves, including a father who has showered her with love since her mother's death when she was just two. Megan is totally flummoxed when she overhears a discussion between her father and uncle that suggests her mother is actually alive and well. Faced with the possibility that her life is based on lies, she runs into the last person she wants to see. Logan not only calms her but ultimately becomes her reluctant partner in the search for her mother.

As the story unfolds Megan finds herself emotionally distancing herself from the very people she has trusted her entire life, certain they are all part of a conspiracy. Oddly, she begins to trust Logan, a virtual stranger. His background as a cop could prove beneficial investigating but the more time spends with him the more Megan is aware of an undeniable chemistry and attraction.

Logan is having an internal struggle over his involvement with yet another damsel in distress. He has to admit she is a looker with an attractive mix of class and moxie. So Megan and Logan set off on a rather odd mission to track down any information on her mother and along the way meet some interesting characters. Sure it would be easier to just confront her father but then she would miss out on what could be the best time of her life. As for Logan, well he has demons of his own to battle. Can he accept help from Megan to exorcise them just as she has leaned on him in her quest?

Once again Cathie Linz gives us a character that just can't be stereotyped. Wisecracking, well endowed, and smart to boot, with Megan West she broke the librarian mold. LUCK BE A LADY is a fun romp filled with some bizarre, lovable, quirky, and endearing folks. Linz' formula works, so why change it. Enjoy.
