tara is hard to like until you read her story. got t it on sale. ( )

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series. I started reading this book and I could just not stop reading, I mean in the matter of less than 9 hours I read the remaining 300 pages of it. I love how Tara and Ford just prove that opposites attract and that old loves can be forever loves even if you are separated. I love how the incorporated their daughter, how it ended up being an circle of events, them separating to give their daughter a better life and Tara but in the end Mia, the daughter, their happiness was in being together. It was like a modern fairy tale for all those young mothers who think that having a baby or giving up a baby doesn't mean you deserve a happy ending. You learn a lot about pain, suffering and moving on, from both points of view. Ford's who is all about closing off and not letting anyone in or Tara who gives too much of herself and than retreats and doesn't let anyone see how she truly feels. This book was amazing and is so far my favourite out of the series. ( )

I truly enjoyed this book. Ford and Tara had history together and you could feel the tension even in the first book. I loved their chemistry, and Logan was funny when added to the mix! I hardly put this book down and I stayed up WAY too late!!! My ONLY complaint is that there are a bit too many sex scenes. They were well done and not distasteful or anything, but it gave the story more of a "its all about the sex" feel to me and had she cut it back just a bit I would have felt more love rather than lust I think.. BUT that said it was still a great book and I can't wait for Chloe!!! I am thinking it's her and Sawyer!!! (I haven't peeked yet but I will start reading it tonight!) ( )

Another Lucky Harbor gem. I have to say I still don't like Tara whole lot, she's a very unlikeable character, but who can argue with a love story so brilliantly written! In spite of her "unlikeableness", Tara is a well rounded character, quirky and flawed and relateable. And then, of course, there are the alpha men in the book that you can't help but fall in love with, the men who know there's only one woman for them, whether they like it or not. I love the way Ms. Shalvis brings in secondary characters to remind the main characters what they've survived, been through, felt. Mia and Carlos were an excellent parallel to Tara and Ford, a reminder of their past, and hope for their future. Unerringly consistent, Ms. Shalvis's writing carries me away every time. ( )

I dare you to read a Jill Shavis book and not laugh every other page.. Great book.. Series just keeps getting better and better.. ( )
