The Summer Escape: A Novel (The Sunrise Cove… by Jill Shalvis

I had read another chick-lit romcom by Shalvis - "The Bright Spot" - so was looking forward to something similar. But after 100 pages I just couldn’t read any more. The novel was more cheesy than funny, and there was way too much talking about how the two main characters must fight the attraction they have towards each other while trying to solve a mystery – how did Anna’s deceased father end up with a valuable coin and necklace that were stolen from Owen’s great aunt as part of an unsolved long-ago robbery.

Cutesy, corny, predictable – with characters I couldn’t connect with and a plot that didn’t really matter. This book was not for me.… (more)

Always on My Mind (A Lucky Harbor Novel, 8) by Jill Shalvis

Leah is back in Lucky Harbor helping out at her grandmother's bakery while she recuperates from knee surgery. Leah and Jack have been best friends forever and once almost something more. However, Leah has a problem with self esteem and sabotage's herself with everything she does. While she and Jack pretend a relationship to make his mother happy as she goes through chemotherapy, they both realize that things could be different if they both want it, but they spend the whole book going back and forth ad nauseam. Not the best book in the series.… (more)

The Sweetest Thing (A Lucky Harbor Novel (2)) by Jill Shalvis

Tara and her 2 sisters have decided to renovate the Lucky Harbor Beach Inn they inherited and open it together. Tara is back in Lucky Harbor after 17 years not sure what to do with her life and taking things a day at a time. Lucky Harbor is also the place where she met and loved Ford Walker that summer 17 years before. He also is back. As they dance around each other and try to figure out their relationship her Ex shows up and another surprise visitor. Life becomes complicated. This was basically a good romance but I had trouble sympathizing with Tara and her continued push and pull with Ford. Not my favorite book in the series.… (more)
