Simply Irresistible by Jill Shalvis
4.0
I just love the writing of Jill Shalvis! After reading her Animal series, I went out and purchased the first book in the Lucky Harbor series. Simply Irresistible was just that -- Irresistible!
I loved Jax and the whole town of Lucky Harbor. Plus who can go wrong for a rich and sexy man who is sweet at heart? Maddie and her sisters were also a fun group to read about. They each had their own personality and they were described as The Steel Magnolia, The Mouse, and The Wild One. Each description fit each character perfectly! I liked how Maddie -- The Mouse -- was trying to turn her life around. When the half sisters inherit the inn after their Mother dies, they realize it is going to take a lot of work and money to bring the inn back to its former glory. With secrets involved for the family members, secrets in Jax's past, and obstacles to overcome that are from each characters past, we get to see the journey unfold in a sweet story.
The only problem I had with this book was the constant wavering from Maddie. One minute she was happy to have Jax, then she would change her mind and not want him. I understand she had some issues to work out from a previous relationship, but the reason behind it was not believable. Even with that issue, I still can't wait to pick up a copy of the next book in the series. I want to learn more about Maddie's sisters and their adventure in Lucky Harbor.
