Synopsis:
Old flames reignite in Sunrise Cove in this charming enemies-to-lovers, second-chance, small-town, forced-proximity love story about family, friendships, and true love from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.
When Olive Porter’s off-the-grid parents go missing, she reluctantly seeks out Noah Turner, her ex and the only person she both trusts implicitly and not at all.
As a special investigative agent for the National Park Service, Noah’s used to living under intense pressure. Or he was until he got injured on the job. Now unhappily recuperating at home while being smothered by his loving but nosy family, he’d love nothing more than a good distraction.
So when Olive shows up looking like a million bucks, he has to do a gut and heart check. Because nope, no matter what, he can’t fall for her again, the woman who once blew up his entire life and never looked back. How ironic then that his own personal hell (Olive) is also his ticket out of town. The question is, will the risk be worth the reward?
Review:
I held out as long as I could but I couldn’t wait any longer to read the authors latest. I wanted a cozy and funny romance and she always delivers on both fronts for me, it’s so nice being able to count on an author and she’s one of my trusted few that I know will write a story that I adore. This series is so special, I love the Tahoe setting and she always infuses so much cozy charm and happiness into her stories despite exploring deep topics. Olive and Noah are back home years after a tragic accident and seeing them finally deal with their pain and find their way to each other in the meantime was so sweet. The secondary characters about stole the show this time around, (not really but close) Noah’s sister is also Olive’s BFF so she played a huge role in the story and she cracked me up, her snark was the best and her and Olive’s relationship was adorable. If you like second chance, found family, friends to lovers, a gorgeous setting, lots of humor and sexy chemistry this was fantastic!!
Overall rating: 5/5
