Synopsis

As the brains behind wedding site TyingTheKnot.com, Callie sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles . . . to the tears. It’s that last part that keeps her single and not looking. Getting left at the altar will do that to a girl. But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds that her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. And he makes it hard to remember why she’s sworn off love . . .

Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie past—and now his teenage son is back in his life. How can Tanner be a role model when he’s still paying for his own mistakes? It’s hard enough that gorgeous Callie has appeared in town like a beautiful dream, challenging his best-laid plans to keep his heart on lockdown. Though there’s something about being around her again that makes him feel like he can be the man she—and his son—deserve. Little Lucky Harbor holds their past; can it hold a beautiful new future?

Michel’s Review

One In A Million by Jill Shalvis is book twelve in the Lucky Harbor Series. I have been a huge fan of this series . The romances throughout this series have been entertaining, humorous, emotional, and downright sexy. Jill Shalvis always adds the perfect combinations that make her characters come to life and grab the readers by the heart.

One In A Million is a second chance romance. Tanner is a reformed bad boy, adrenaline junkie, and former Navy Seal. He has been coasting along in life because of his past mistakes. When a teenage son shows up on his doorstep, he embraces fatherhood with a determination to become a dedicated father. He embraces this opportunity whole heartedly.

Callie has returned to Lucky Harbor and runs a wedding website. She feels like a fraud at times because she no longer wears rose colored glasses where love is concerned. She has been left at the alter and burned one too many times. When she runs into her former high school crush, Tanner, she realizes that she may want to reconsider her views. He has gotten hotter with age, seems more settled, and is making her feel desire.

As these two come together they find more in common. This is their second chance to find their happily ever after. It is their second chance to become a family. Between their passionate relationship and Tanner’s son, these two will stay very busy. Of course, the crazy old Lucille is back and meddling. Crazy Lucille is Callie’s grandma and she’s making her family her project.

So if you are a fan of Second Chance romance, One In A Million is the perfect book to curl up with. It will not disappoint.

The Lucky Harbor series has been a fantastic contribution in the small town romance genre. The series is known for it’s heartfelt, charming romances that are loaded with sizzling hot passion. I highly recommend the Lucky Harbor series.

Synopsis

For Olivia Bentley, Lucky Harbor is more than the town where she runs her new vintage shop. It’s the place where folks are friendly to strangers-and nobody knows her real name. Olivia does a good job of keeping her past buried, not getting too cozy with anyone . . . until she sees a man drowning. Suddenly she’s rushing into the surf, getting up close and personal with the hottest guy she’s ever laid hands on.

Charter boat captain Cole Donovan has no problem with a gorgeous woman throwing her arms around his neck in an effort to “save” him. In fact, he’d like to spend a lot more time skin-to-skin with Olivia. He’s just not expecting that real trouble is about to come her way. Will it bring her deeper into Cole’s heart, or will it be the end of Olivia’s days in little Lucky Harbor?

Michel’s Review

Arc provided by publisher, via Netgalley, for a fair and honest review.

He’s So Fine by Jill Shalvis is the eleventh book in the Lucky Harbor Series. It is another Small Town romance at it’s finest.

He’s So Fine features Cole Donovan, one of the guys that runs the boat charter company in Lucky Harbor. He is a straight shooting and no nonsense kind of guy. He is a bit of a nerd and can fix about anything. He is always prepared for something to happen. He rolls with the punches and takes most things in stride. On the romance front, he is at a standstill. He has been betrayed, hurt, and left to grieve after a fatal accident . His bachelorhood is about to be tested when he meets Olivia Bentley.

Olivia Bentley is the eccentric owner of the vintage store across the street from the boat charter company. She is a free spirit. She is enjoying her life, paying her bills, becoming successful with her business, and the freedom from her former life. She is enjoying the delicious eye-candy across the street from her store. One piece of candy is extra tempting and Olivia is finding she wants a taste of Cole Donovan.

As these two opposites come together, the sparks fly. Neither one wants to be in a relationship. But their chemistry is through the roof. These two will go through the wringer to get to their happily ever after. The wringer is not always as bad as one would think. They both had incredible twists and turns. They will have to get past their secrets and old fears. They will have to learn to let go. They will have to learn to hang on. In the end, a red hot relationship will be just what they both needed.

The dialogue and interactions between Cole and Olivia was downright sexy and fun. The intensity these two shared was hot!

Jill Shalvis never fails to blend laugh out humor and emotional angst leading to a sizzling hot romance. Her characters are perfectly flawed and delightful. She creates a story that flows effortlessly and keeps the readers captivated. It is no wonder the Lucky Harbor Series is such a great success. I look forward to book twelve in the series.

I highly recommend He’s So Fine and The Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis.
