HER LOVE HAS COME ALONG . . .
Amy Michaels loves her new life in Lucky Harbor. A waitress in the local diner, she’s looking forward to her first weekend hike through the mountains. But when a wrong turn takes her off the trail, she finds herself up close and personal with forest ranger Matt Bowers. And even though she’s tempted to kiss that sexy smile right off his face, she won’t make the mistake of getting involved with the town heartthrob.

A former cop whose life went south, Matt doesn’t let anyone get too close. But something about the feisty beauty caught his eye the moment he first saw her in the diner. After a hot night under a starry sky, Matt can’t deny their attraction-or the fact that for the first time in a long time, he feels the stirrings of something more. Now it’s up to Matt to help Amy see that, no matter what is in their past, together they can build a future in Lucky Harbor.

MY THOUGHTS

LOVED IT

This is probably my favorite romance series of all time, so I am so happy it is continuing. Amy, the waitress at the local cafe has moved to Lucky Harbor and hopes that she can find peace like her grandmother did. She reads her grandmother’s diary and in her off time loves to hike and draw, so when She takes a wrong turn on a trail and runs into the local forest ranger, Matt, she doesn’t expect the local heart-throb to notice her. Talk about a cute meet! There is instant attraction but, as always, in Lucky Harbor, there are obstacles to overcome in each of their lives and the fact that life isn’t always easy sometimes gets in their way. Shalvis again writes about flawed characters that can overcome their shortfalls and pasts in order to move on with their future.

Publication Date: July 31, 2012 | Series: Lucky Harbor (Book 6)

LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT
Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over from scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor, working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes from caring for Josh’s lovable mutt to caring for his rambunctious son. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy single dad . . .
With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for anything outside of his clinic and family-until Grace arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “good bedside manner.” Josh and Grace don’t know if what they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day . . .

MY THOUGHTS

LOVED IT

Grace, the adopted daughter of two brilliant scientist has just lost her job and even though her parents loved her, she feels that she has failed. Lucky Harbor seems to draw in those looking for a second chance and Grace is no different. Josh, the ER doctor and probably what her parent’s expected her to become has hired her as a dog walker and to help out his recently disabled sister. The last thing on Josh’s mind is romance but as Grace starts to help him out more and more, he depends on her more and more. OK, so I was a bit giddy at these two getting together since as an overworked doctor and Grace feeling underachieving would ever work things out. Sigh, this is just one of those romances where everything worked out just how it was supposed to with great flawed characters, wonderful dialogue and believable details.
