I sat on writing this review for awhile because the more I thought about it, the more I realized everything about this story is the opposite of what I expected. When you meet Grant, you see he's a sweetheart who only wants someone to settle down with, but the way he goes about it is strange. He dates humans (and in this world they know all about werewolves), although he wants his best friend who's a vampire, and in order to see if humans will accept him, he shifts in front of them without warning.
Then the mood shifts from Grant wanting a forever relationship to Lee, his best friend, trying to get him laid at a vampire get together in the mountains, which was never really explained. Grant is uncomfortable thinking of Lee with a human in a sexual way, declares himself a one man kind of guy, and then when things get serious with Lee, he's off to have sex with a human he'd saved, although he pictures Lee when he's doing it. Then the quasi romance, or potential romance leads into a murder mystery and ends with a kinda HFN. The story was in the POV of Grant, so you get an angsty, will I or won't I kind of decision making and then in the end, it's not really clear why the two want to be together.
Despite me finishing the book, waiting for something true to connect the two men, it wasn't what I expected nor did it leave me with a sense of anything but confusion as to why these two men would get together.

Sleuthing, sarcasm and sexy times! What a fun book. This was a 'new to me' author and I'm so glad I took the chance. Rohrbach's characters shone on page and I was easily sucked into her world.
Grant, a hopeless romantic and werewolf, is in love with his best friend, a snarky vampire named Lee. In an effort to cheer Grant up after yet another romantic disaster, Lee brings Grant to a vampire clan retreat. Mischief, a runaway bunny, and ex-boyfriends throw their vacation plans out the window. Not to mention that Lee's "no friends as lovers" rule is moot when Grant and Lee's friendship hits a snag as they deal with "accidents" that turn more deadly.
The single POV was my only issue. I would have loved to be in Lee's head some. But overall a great book and I'll be looking for the author's future works,.

“The Dragon's Rebel” was enjoyable and I could care less for “Parallel Larry”, so stepping into this read I already knew it could be a hit or miss. Thankfully it was a hit.
“Come On, Get Lucky” is about a werewolf, Grant, who is a hopeless romantic that had his fair of bad luck when it comes to romance and his snarky vampire best friend, Lee, who decides to take him with him to a vampire clan retreat where all supernatural and non-supernatural beings are welcome. It’s essentially a spot where they can hook up with other beings and not have to worry about commitments or drama.
Overall it was a fun, banter-filled read that had aspects of romance, hot chemistry, ex-boyfriends, and a runaway bunny (hence cover).
