Julie and Romeo Get Lucky

Jeanne Ray's New York Times bestselling debut, Julie and Romeo, introduced two unforgettable star-crossed lovers whose feuding families threatened to foil their romance. Now Julie and Romeo are back -- and this time Lady Luck is throwing a few curveballs their way. . . .

Julie Roseman and Romeo Cacciamani know a thing or two about good fortune. For generations, their families were rival florists and bitter enemies. Then Julie and Romeo met by chance, just as each became single again, and they fell in love. Three years later, Julie and Romeo are still blissfully happy, but with their respective houses packed to the rafters with family, the odds of their ever getting a moment of peace together seem as likely as winning the lottery.

They get their wish -- with a twist -- when an injury puts Romeo flat on his back. Now Julie has to figure out how to run two flower shops, take care of an ever-expanding household, tackle her granddaughter's fixation with lottery tickets, keep her daughters from regressing into full-scale teenage bickering, and nurse her beloved Romeo back to health. And Lady Luck has one more surprise in store. . . .

great read for my commute, 2008-01-27
I really enjoyed this unique story. Sometimes the worst characteristics of people were highlighted but it was done in such a comic way that you could not really dislike those characters - and in the end they all showed their positive sides. The protagonist is a 63 year old grandmother, juggling more things than I would have the energy to handle and trying to find time for the love of her life, her Romeo.

More please!, 2007-10-24
I sure hope there are more books from this author Jeanne Ray involving these same delightful characters and amusing stories. I was sad to have this book end.

Another GREAT book by Jeanne Ray, 2007-05-09
As with her previous book this one is fun and entertaining. As in "Julie and Romeo", the main characters seem to be thwarted at each turn by their crazy family. But by doing so the characters grow and learn more about each other.

Another winner from a fantastic author, 2006-04-19
Julie and Romeo Get Lucky by Jeanne Ray is the sequel to Julie and Romeo. Jeanne Ray's writing is so spot-on accurate, sometimes I swear she must be recording people in their home and then simply transcribing it! But she's so much funnier and sweeter than real life. Romeo throws out his back carrying Julie up her stairs and ends up an invalid in her bed. Nora, Julie's oldest daughter, is pregnant and on bed rest, so she moves home too. Sarah, Julie's granddaughter, is obsessed with Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, and so the story goes from there. Julie can't grab a spare moment to herself when everything is falling apart. Ray has a unique talent for describing physical comedy that few writers can manage. I found myself laughing and gasping out loud at poor Romeo. I wish life was as sweet as it is in Ray's world, and I treasure the moments I get to spend there. Read her other books as well; they're all winners.

Not her best, 2006-01-23
I loved the first book (and all of her other works) but this one while it held my attention also annoyed me.

Way too much time was given to the spoiled little girl and she lost me from the very beginning when it was explained that if she didn't get to watch the movie every day she screamed.

Sadly the adults were almost as spoiled as the children and it was hard to feel any kind of sympathy or empathy for the main character when she was the one who had created these brats.
