Simply Irresistible Lucky Harbor Jill Shalvis 9780446571616 Books

What’s it About? Maddie and her two half sisters have inherited a rundown inn located in the town of Lucky Harbor. Maddie sees it as an opportunity to start her life over but her sisters want nothing to do with the inn. Maddie manages to convince them to fix the inn up and think about staying and running it together and they agree to think about it so she hires contractor Jax Cullen whose tall, dark, and sexy vibe messes with Maddie’s resolution to stay away from men for awhile. While the inn is being fixed, Maddie is determined to overcome her past while Jax is determined to help her. In the process Maddie finds a lot more than she originally bargained for.

Yay or Nay? Well I liked the first book in the Lucky Harbor series but I didn’t love it. So a little of both.

Why? The setup was great and I loved Jax. He was a tall glass of Hubba, Hubba with a side of Take me I’m yours! The small town vibe was clearly present from start to finish and even came with the town gossip in the form of the brassy Lucille whom I just adored. She didn’t do anything in half measures and she told things like they were. Then there were Jax’s friends, Ford and Sawyer who make sure to make Jax’s life miserable when they can. There was plenty to laugh at when those three were together. Maddie was okay. She was nicknamed “The Mouse” and boy did she live up to that name for most of the book. Sometimes her mousy attitude got to me though but it was actually when she and her two half sisters, Tara and Chloe were in the same scene together that was kind of a turn off.

See, these three didn’t really know each other and had such different personalities that they clashed, especially Tara who was the oldest, and Chloe who was the youngest and “The Wild One” of the three. Now I’m all for conflicts between characters because it can be crucial to the characters’ growth but dang the bickering between Tara and Chloe was exhausting and just a plain turn off. All their arguing didn’t serve a purpose in my opinion other than to tire me out and make me skip ahead to when they weren’t arguing but given that the story revolves around the three sisters learning to be a family there was quite a bit of page skipping involved.

Click It or Skip It: Despite the constant quarreling between Maddie’s sisters I enjoyed Simply Irresistible. I liked the town of Lucky Harbor for the most part and my favorite supporting character was definitely Lucille. She’s a hoot!

Originally posted on my blog www.book-scents.com

I had heard of the Lucky Harbor books before but it wasn’t until I saw one of them in a used bookstore and on sale to boot that I bought one. It was the 3rd book in the series but since they’re not that reliant on each other, I read that one first. In one sitting. I LOVED IT. So I went back and got the first. =) Lucky for you, I’ll review them in order, haha.

Maddie Moore is at a low point in her life when she drives into Lucky Harbor. She’s lost her job and her jackass boyfriend and now she doesn’t know what to do or where to go. Her mother that had been mostly absent from her life has passed away recently and has left an inn behind to her and her two half sisters, Tara and Chloe. That’s the reason she finds herself rolling into this small coastal town — and nearly running over a hot handsome man on a motorcycle. But she isn’t there for a relationship, in fact, no more men for her, EVER, she’s told herself. No matter how attractive. She instead tries to pour herself into fixing up the run-down inn to be a viable place to use instead of just selling it off like her sisters want to do.

The relationship between the sisters was one of my favorite parts!! Each of them are so very different. They’ve grown up apart from each other, with their respective dads and neither Tara nor Chloe want to be in this town longer than they have to. But Maddie wants to try and see if they could fix up the inn and make it a home. They bicker and grate on each others nerves but gradually they learn to love each other. And I love THEM. I love seeing amazing sister relationships in books! So, Maddie convinces them to give the inn a shot. By a hilarious series of events, the hottie she almost ran over turns out to be the guy she hires over the phone to help them with renovations. Jax Cullen. (Sidenote he is the very opposite of sparkly vampires so let’s ignore that last name…)

Jax can rock a tool belt like none other and is just insanely attractive and amazing and swoony and thoughtful, protective, funny and perfect. Oh what, I’m rambling now? Jax will do that to you! He tries to woo Maddie, but having been burned badly in her last relationship, she’s understandably wary.

But I mean, seriously, not only does he rock a tool belt, he’s co-owner of a bar with his best friend and also the mayor. Okay, yeah, he’s a little TOO perfect but it all kind of works for him. And he totally worked for me. Read this and tell me you won’t go weak in the knees. *waves kindle wildy around*

Besides the insanely awesome romance that Jill Shalvis can write, I really enjoyed seeing the sisters come together and become friends. The town of Lucky Harbor is also just adorable, along with all its residents. I really want to live there because it’s just too cute! The atmosphere of the town combined with the depth of the relationships between the sisters made this a great book but the romance with JAX CULLEN bumps it up into swoony awesome amazingness. Jax pouring a drink. Jax chopping wood. Jax slinging a tool belt around. Jax kissing. These are all the things you could be a part of if you read this!

This is really a book you can just sit back and relax with. A fun romance that is just irresistible. Yeah, I went there and made that pun. Don’t judge, sometimes I think I’m punny.
3* the first time I read this I was in my early twenties and I gave it 4.5* however, the second time reading it, I'm my thirties and I gave it 3* perhaps it's just my mood as I read it, and I really love parts of the book, especially the beginning, and I do really like these two characters, but I felt they jumped to sex too quickly (I know, crazy right?). I guess now that I'm older, I want more of a story... more of the build and sexual tension, and less of I'm in lust, let's do it as often as possible, have a big misunderstanding, and then make up. I do love that she gained confidence.
