GREAT story! I loved Amy and Matt. Two people who really needed each other.
Jill Shalvis has become one of my favorite writers! i love the way she portrays the characters. They feel like someone you know and you are getting a bit more of a glimpse into their lives. Amy started out a little standoffish but Matt helps her to soften a be a better person. Can't wait to read the next one in this series.
I have been reading this out of order and each book seems to be individualized enough to be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed Matt and Amy. The dialogue was great and the supporting characters were fun. There were a few times where I thought Matt was a little childish but I think that was the point.
Cool, easy read.

I enjoy the Lucky Harbor Series. The first book in the series Simply Irresistible is one of my favorites. I thought the series was fading but Shalvis brings it roaring back with AT LAST.
Amy and Matt have a great story. Amy is the tough girl with the heart of gold and Matt does an excellent job rescuing the 'damsel in distress'. Amy and the other chocoholics endear themselves to the reader and makes you cheer for their happily ever afters.
This is book 5 and if you've read the previous stories it can only enhance this book. You don't have to but I would recommend that you at least read Lucky in Love because Ty and Mallory make several appearances.
This is a good read that will leave you smiling.

Review originally posted at Ramblings From This Chick
This was my first book by Jill Shalvis and it definitely won't be my last. Oh my goodness I am addicted. I just love her voice and the characters that she has created in her Lucky Harbor series. Once I started this book I just couldn't put it down. Not only did I enjoy the relationship between the h/h but I ADORED the relationships she created between the girls and the boys. I love books that feature relationships between friends. I feel like it adds so much more to the characters to see how they are when they are not around their love interest. As for the h/h of the book Amy and Matt, I loved them. The chemistry between these two is electric and the scenes between the two are smokin! Seriously.
I'll admit, it took a little bit for me to warm up to Amy. She's just so hard and doesn't really let others in. She's had a rough life and has been on her own since she was a teen. She has been living in Lucky Harbor for six months and is on a journey to find herself through her grandmother's old journals. The journals chronicle a summer Amy's grandmother spent in Lucky Harbor where she found hope, love and peace. Now Amy is armed with them and is on a mission to find all of the spots her grandmother talks about in the journals. I should mention that Amy is not a outdoors person. She is a definite city girl through and through. While out on her first hike, she takes a wrong turn and becomes lost and who should come to her rescue? Why sexy forest ranger Matt, that's who.
Ever since Amy arrived in town, Matt has been attracted to her. In fact, he eats at the diner she works at several times a week just so he can see her and possibly get to know her better. Matt knows now is the opportunity he's been waiting for to finally ask her out.
The relationship between these two is hot and sexy. Both are attracted to one another but both have so much baggage. Amy is running from her past and doesn't want to let anyone get close. While Matt is trying to mend himself after a broken marriage almost ruined him and his reputation. Both start out just "hooking up" but soon realize that there is more going on between them then just sex.
Seriously, I loved this book. It may have taken me awhile to warm up to Amy, but once I did I found that I really liked her. She's fierce and independent and I love that she doesn't take anyone's crap. She tells it like it is. As for Matt, AKA Ranger hot buns I loved him. He's just so dreamy.
If you haven't read this book you are definitely missing out. Not only is it sexy, it's just so much fun. The chemistry between everyone is spectacular and I definitely can't wait to read more from Miz Shalvis.

Wonderful, sexxy romantic!
I deducted a 1/2 star from what was a 4* story, because one of my least favorite phrases was used twice in this book. "So had Josh and Ty, both of whom had called him with the news like two little girls..." and "Josh had bought the past four meals in a row, which he'd bitched about like a little girl..." "Like a girl," has almost always been negative and condescending towards the female gender. I inwardly cringe everything I read this phrase.
Back to the story. Ranger Hot Buns and Amy. Both had some baggage that they had to overcome. Nice journey. I liked Riley and her role in the book as well. Great lesson that the past is past, you learn, and move on! On to the future!
Next stop Grace's story!
