Lucky Harbor #4
Lucky in Love by Jill Shalvis
Lucky in Love reminded me a lot of Redwood Bend by Robyn Carr in a totally good way (I did really like that book). I had never read Jill Shalvis before Lucky in Love (I have no recollection of it, at least), but I'd expected her to a be a very soft author, portraying a delicate heroine with a quiet gentleman as the 'bad boy'. Wrong. And I'm so glad I read this book. I was entertained through and through by the bantering, the best friends and what is now one of my favorite contemporary romance heroes. And soft? Puh-lease, I could practically feel the passion coming off of the pages. The characters were very well written and supported by believable emotions and backgrounds (of course). I enjoyed the recurring 'Mr. Wrong' theme and the hints at the future of Amy and Matt.
I usually read one and a half books a day so, yes, it takes a good bit for a book to stand out in my head and this did, though I felt the ending was rushed a bit. I'm so going to read the whole series.

Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the local good girl, she's expected to date Mr. Right. But for once, she'd like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he's gone...
For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn't -- including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all...anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.
