Summary
Life in the space lanes isn't the easiest, but for Trigg Donner, commander of the space freighter Rosebud, it's more than a steady paycheck - it's home. But when a routine landing on San Pedro unearths a mystery simmering on his own ship, Trigg comes face to face with his own fears and distrust.
After spending several years stranded on a distant mining colony, former graduate student Cassandra "Lucky" Luckenbach finally has enough money saved up to catch a spaceship back home to Earth. She boards the Rosebud unaware that she is walking into the middle of a life-altering interstellar conspiracy. Mystery, adventure, and romance await her on the flight home. Before she arrives on Earth, she will be forced to ask herself what it is that she really wants, and who she wants to be.

"The shining beacon for humanity."
A bar shooting on San Pedro leaves the space freighter, Rosebud, short of a crew member. Rather than try to hire a replacement on that desolate station, Commander Connor opts instead to temporarily employ one of the passengers to act as his secretary until Newport, the next and larger port, is reached. Cassandra, 'Lucky', is grateful for the financial help the job will give her. An university research student, she'd been stuck for months on San Pedro after her grant has terminated. Now she just wants to get back to earth and try to find a job. But over the four weeks of the journey the coffee is vile, some little things go missing, the gravity plate needed realignment and Lucky starts to fall in love.
Lucky is a fun, lightweight who dunnit? set in space. Mostly centred around the key crew members of the Rosebud, there's a homely feeling of camaraderie which makes for pleasant listening. The romantic frisson tingles gently through it all but in the background rather than full frontal. The mystery? Not very mysterious but still adds intrigue. Narrator Daisy Fair reads with good pace and modulation and her personalized voicing of the protagonists helps add to their character development, which is otherwise fairly slim.
I did enjoy this book very much until the final few chapters when I became less involved : the story seemed a little rushed as if the author wanted it over.. No great piece of literature, western, or even mystery or space opera. However, the overall impression was good, more a sort of space romp. My thanks to the rights holder of Lucky, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was fun.

Romance on a spaceship
This is a romance novel set on a spaceship. There is nothing explicit in it. There is no bad language.
Our protagonists meet on a spaceship. They are not in the military but a freighter. There are mysteries to solve, evil villains (without any graphic violence).
Overall, it’s an entertaining listen. It tells a good story of spaceships and falling in love.
I received this audiobook for free at my request and volunteered this review.
