2 for 1 Special: Simply Irresistible and The Sweetest Thing


Hello fellow readers! I have finished reading both of Jill Shalvis' lucky harbor series, "Simply Irresistible" and "The Sweetest Thing". I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books and can't wait for the next one to come out. Jill also has another series which I plan to get my hands on once I read some of the other books I already have on my book shelf.
First, "Simply Irresistible" has a great story and introduced all the characters for the rest of the series. Maddie, the middle sister (which I can relate to, being a middle sister myself) has just lost everything that means something to her. As a last attempt to make something of herself she moves in to the inn that her mom left to her and her two half-sisters when she passed away. In order to prove to herself as well as others Maddie needs to make something of this inn. To make things worse her sisters are unwilling to stay in this town to help, nor do they care to stick around and truly become a family again. On Maddie's first night in town she meets Jax after she almost runs him off the road on his motorcycle and then to make things worse she later pushes the motorcycle over. Despite her attempt to 'have it in for his motorcycle' Jax finds her refreshing which is something he needs in his life. They soon find themselves in a 'relationsip' even though Maddie tries to keep things on a professional level since he's the only carpenter in town who she hires to help renovate the inn. Despite her good intentions Jax wants both a professional and a love relationship with her. The big question is, can they stay together when they both have skeletons in their closet? Read the book to find out!
As for the second book "The Sweetest Thing", this story is about Tara and Ford two people who fell in love at 17. And just as fast came together they fell apart due to a life changing situation. Now Tara's back in the town she never thought she'd see again along with the man from her youth. Ford has given Tara space when she first arrived however it's time to make things right between them. One thing Ford didn't count on were his feelings for her back then are just as strong as they are now. However when Tara's ex-husband comes into town to win her back Ford realizes he either has to fight for her or walk away like he did almost 20 years earlier. Tara realized that she has changed since she's been married and is not sure if she can go back to who she was or whether she wants to for that matter. Every book has a twist and even though Tara has to choose between two men all while dealing with the town voting via facebook to see which one she will choose. For another twist someone else comes to find her and Ford. Read on to find out who else is in town...You won't regret it!
Next I am reading Mary Kay Andrews, "Deep Dish". I wonder what kind of trouble Regina and Tate cook up in the kitchen!
Stay tuned...
