New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Brown’s bighearted novel about family, secrets, small-town Texas romance, and—with a little bit of luck—starting over.
Family doesn’t mean everyone has to like each other. That’s the case when cousins Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja return to Shamrock, Texas, to help manage their grandmother’s flower shop, the Lucky Shamrock. The reunion isn’t exactly a beautiful arrangement—considering they’re as compatible as ranchers and coyotes.
Thank heaven for a handsome go-between like Clinton, who lives above the shop. The easygoing war vet, and most eligible bachelor in Wheeler County, is now throwing romance into the mix and setting the local women to gossiping. But as the hot months wear on, hidden secrets begin to surface for the temperamental Irish trio. And it’s bringing them closer together than they ever thought possible.
With a flurry of weddings, a love story in the making, a surprise baby, and crazy good fortune, maybe that shamrock painted on the window does bring luck. Because for Taryn, Anna Rose, and Jorja, this could be the summer that’ll change their lives forever.

Hott Review:
I was a bit confused about this book because it was slated for us in a release but I kept thinking it should have been a March release… Until I started reading 🤣🙄 I really should pay more attention but for anyone else who is confused… It’s definitely a summer book three cousins step in to run a flower shop in Shamrock, Texas for their grandmother for the summer.
Cousins. I grew up without cousins in my life so having my children grow up with cousins and their day-to-day life was a whole new world for me. The love, the emotion, the family… It’s like having extra siblings with different parents 🤷 so I can read books about these customs with a whole different kind of respect and empathy for the families involved.
If you’re looking for a steamy romance, this isn’t the book for you. But if you’re looking for a book about growing up, overcoming your past, or reconnecting with the people you love… you do NOT want to miss this.
I loved every word. I’ve always loved Carolyn Brown’s writing and it’s been a bit since I’ve read one of her books, but this was the perfect one to reconnect with. Reading The Lucky Shamrock was like coming home. Feeling the love of the cousins even through the bickering was perfect. Plus, The Lucky Shamrock brought up strong topics (that I can’t get into without spoilers) and helped us to understand others as the cousins struggle to understand each other.
