I loved this book! Becca and Sam had such amazing chemistry and I loved how they were together. I loved how each helped the other face their issues. As always in the Lucky Harbor books the secondary characters were fun too. I loved Sams friends and Beccas neighbor. Im really looking forward to their HEAs too. Jill Shalvis never disappoints and I have to say if youve enjoyed any of her other Lucky Harbor books Im sure youll enjoy this one as well. I won a copy of this book from Goodreads First Reads program and this review is my honest opinion and I was not compensated for it.

I enjoy most of Jill Shalvis' books, and this one was no exception.  Always on My Mind is heartwarming and funny, and you were rooting for them right from the beginning. Jack and Leah a bring together two of my favorite book occupations (a man in uniform -- this time a firefighter, and a chef), and a supporting cast of neighbors, family, and friends who either will have their own books soon, or who were already featured in prior books.

Kevin is a Harlequin Great Dane, and a giant funny chicken.  He brings welcome humor into the story, and seems to help Jack determine who is a worthy mate just by sitting there, or greeting a woman!

I really enjoy serials, especially when you get updates in subsequent books. I am looking forward to reading all of the Lucky Harbor series.

To keep to the "seafood" theme for a "cooking" book from a Friends fan, He's her lobster!

Chasing Christmas Eve is the fourth book in the Heartbreaker Bay series. I'm loving this series more and more! Jill Shalvis never disappoints with her fantastic writing, snarky humor, sexy characters and loving friendships. These characters have quickly become my family, Cow Hollow my home away from home. I have adored all of the stories in this series and I've been patiently waiting for Spencer's turn. He's smart and geeky sexy with his glasses and his unruly hair. He has secrets, but he's not entirely closed off. He's mysterious, but in a good way. When he meets the hot mess that is Colbie, as she's falling into the fountain, he knew his life wasn't ever going to be the same. There is just something about this quirky sexy stranger that makes him want to be near her. Talk to her, kiss her, smell her, taste her, want her. But she's only in town for a few weeks. Is that good or bad for Spencer? He's stuck on a work project and Colbie could be the welcome distraction he needs. Can he stop her from getting to his heart? Colbie is hilarious! She's smart and sexy, but she's also goofy and doesnt cure. I loved seeing how she could not use curse words! Shiitake is a favorite of mine that I use regularly! And I picked up a few to add to my list! Colbie need time away from home. She needs to write and she needs a new place to find her muse. San Francisco and Cow Hollow opened up her mind and heart and she's writing again. While she's enjoying the sexiness that is Spencer. It's only working because there's an expiration, right? She can't possibly want more? I loved this story! I laughed, teared up, swooned, got hot and bothered and laughed some more. I knew Spencer was special and Colbie is perfect for him! The flighty to his workaholic. The silly to his serious. The other half of his heart. I missed this family and it was so great seeing them again and catching up on their lives. I can't wait for more of this series!

Holy cow, she was out of her league. He was somehow both cute and hot, and those glasses

"I want to kiss you again because you're a smarta. Because you're a little demanding too, and those things turn me on."

"I'm not trying to play fair. I'm playing for keeps."

"Think he got laid?" he heart Caleb ask.
"Hope he did," Joe said. "He's pissy as hell."
"I'm not pissy!" Spence yelled.
"Nope, he didn't get laid."

Another great novel from Jill Shalvis!  Loved the characters and the setting.  Jill's descriptive writing made the scenes come to life in my mind.  Can't wait for the next book in the Cedar Ridge series.

This book is great! Pure Jill Shalvis, full of fun and sexiness. I loved both the H/h, their personalities are well written and so is the story line. You won't regret buying this one..or any other books she's written for that matter.

This is my first time reading a book by Jill Shalvis. I am so happy that I got a chance to finally break the ice and discover her amazing talent. She's such a wonderful storyteller! I have been reading amazing things about her work from my co-blogger. We have similar tastes in books so I knew that I would fall in love with Jill Shalvis' writing style just like she did. Nobody But You was an enjoyable and sweet reading escape! Nobody But You is the third installment of the Cedar Ridge Series by Jill Shalvis. It can be read as a standalone and it follows Sophie Marren and Army Special Forces officer Jacob Kincaid.

Both Sophie and Jacob are going through some rough times. Jacob is coming back home after an oversea mission that left him broken. Picking up the pieces of his past will be a big challenge. Sophie is ready to turn the page and start a new journey. Even if it starts by stealing her ex-husband's boat. She has nowhere to go so she goes with the flow when it comes to taking her next decision. What she never expected was to meet Jacob Kincaid. His intensity leaves her breathless. She can't deny that she is attracted to him and after what happened with her husband a temporary distraction is exactly what she needs. No strings attached. As days go by, Sophie and Jacob grow closer together and can't deny that this is more than a fling. What happens when feelings start to grow and the only thing you think you did not need is everything you want?

Sophie and Jacob's love story was romantic, sweet and heart melting. I love when an author brings the characters to life in when writing their story and that is exactly what she did in Nobody But You. The chemistry between the main characters was sizzling and their banter was simply irresistible! They both were fun and easy to relate to.

Sophie and Jacob had a slow building romance that touched my heart and through many ups and down they made their relationship work. It was hard for Sophie to trust a man after what happened with her ex-husband, but Jacob swept her off her feet with his irresistible charm and fun personality. Sophie's arrival was like a soothing balm to Jacob's emotional scars. She was the person he turned to for comfort without knowing that she would own his heart in a flash.

Even if I did not read the previous books in the Cedar Ridge Series, I did not feel lost. I really hope I get a chance to read them pretty soon and embark on another great reading journey. Jacob's siblings were great and I really hope that this series will continue. I loved the moments that they shared has a family. Things were pretty intense at the beginning between Jacob and his siblings, but as time went by he got closer to them. I highly recommend this book if you want to read your first Jill Shalvis book. It will get you hooked!

I give, Nobody But You, by Jill Shalvis, 4 romantic, sweet, we're in this together, heart and soul stars!

After having Jill Shalvis' first three Lucky Harbor books recommended to me, I jumped at the chance to read an author I hadn't read before. Purchasing all three books at the same time, I spent the next week or so goobling up the stories. I was happy I took the rec, because I was highly entertained. I knew I'd be buying the next three. So when Lucky in Love became available I quickly ordered it. I am a sucker for small towns where everyone is in each other's business. From the blue haired posse to Mallory's friends to the other hunky guys that inhabit Lucky Harbor, I fell for all the town's folk. It had just the perfect combo of wit, humor and down right sexiness. Mallory and Ty made a truly sexy couple who brought out in each other what they felt they were missing. I can't wait for the next book to come out next month, I'll be counting the days til I can visit Lucky Harbor again

I always have a blast reading Jill Shalvis. She puts her heart into her story and that love shines thru. Charming stories and irresistible characters are my weakness and this author put that on full display with One Snowy Night. Max and Rory are on a collision course with fate and nothing can stop the impact. When a writer can humanize an animal enough to steal the story without taking away from the plot line, I know she's a winner. The only bummer is that the trip was over too soon.

So fabulous!  I'd say with each Animal Magnetism novel the alphas get more yummy - but looking back they're all equally drool-worthy.  I have hundreds of books on my to-read list but this is a book I'll be going back to - and I want to go back to the other 6 books in the series.  Love Jill Shalvis!

This is the first book I've read by Jill Shalvis and I think I found another favorite author!  There many reasons that this book pulled me in and would not let go.

1) Character development
I loved all the characters, their stories, their interactions and how they could hold their own!

2) Theme
There was a theme threaded through this book that I personally identified with.

3) Style
I liked how the story was told from the perspective of a couple of the characters for the most part, but a few scenes were told by others!

The end left me wishing for more and seeking out other books by this author!

Jill Shalvis has done it again!  She knows exactly how to grab your attention in the first couple sentences and keep it.  I'm not going to give anything away about this book but if you love steamy, serious but funny story get this book.

I was wrong,, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Just 2 days ago, I declared that "At Last," Book 5 in the Lucky Harbor series, was the best Jill Shalvis had written. Actually, I wasn't wrong so much as making a statement before I had all the facts, because this book, (#6) simply blows it out of the water. I'm afraid to read any more... if they continue to get better I just don't think my heart can take it. But what a way to go--death by Shalvis!

Once again Jill Shalvis delivered a page turner. From the minute Lanie stepped foot on the Capriotti Winery I fell in love with each and every character. Jill has a way of weaving great connections between the characters and makes me want to be part of the family. Lanie arrives at the winery broken and running from the hurt her deceased husband left in his wake. The Capriotti matriarch, Cora, immediately takes Lanie under her wing but that's not the only Capriotti Lanie connects with. When River shows up unexpectedly with plenty of secrets Cora also takes her under her wing. Find out if Lanie can come to terms with the mess her deceased husband left behind, which Capriotti she gets close to, and how River's secrets play into it all.

I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review of this book.

Jill Shalvis delivers again with a series that never gets old. I won't spoil any details but this is a great that's make you believe in true love while still relating to the hardships of real life. As always Shalvis makes you fall in love with the hunky surfer heroes and put you on the edge for  Cole and Tanners stories. It was wonderful to see Shalvis explore deeper into darker side of people lives. We've seen the characters with problems before but a new depth has come into play with this book that I cannot wait to see more of. There are a lot more secrets to learn in this next set of Lucky Harbor, but don't worry Lucille is still making you laugh and Lance is still scooping ice cream in the boardwalk. So no more spoilers (I hate that in a review). Just remember, great writing, in depth store, and the most important thing hunky men of Lucky Harbor.

A great first book in the Cedar Ridge series. Jill Shalvis always writes fun, interesting books with hot, hot guys. This one does not disappoint. Set in a beautiful locale that heats up quite nicely when Aidan is around.
