Back home in Colorado, Thibault can't seem to get the woman in the photograph out of his mind and he sets out on a journey across the country to find her. But Thibault is caught off guard by the strong attraction he feels for the woman he encounters in North Carolina - Elizabeth, a divorced mother -- and he keeps the story of the photo, and his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a passionate love affair, his secret soon threatens to tear them apart -- destroying not only their love, but also their lives. Filled with tender romance and terrific suspense, THE LUCKY ONE is an unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often take and the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting love.

The Lucky One is a plucky romance with a strong female protagonist. While the concept of the solider being deployed and viewing the horrific complexities of war is embedded in the novel, it's the backdrop to which propels the hero forward. The novel focuses more on the divine concept of meeting your one true love, the one you were meant to be with.
Never overlook the importance of a well-placed dog in a story, too. I think he was my favorite character.
I enjoyed reading it, but it was not my favorite Sparks romance novel. I would recommend it though. It's a light and easy read - finished it in two days.
