Review
Lucky in Love
by Jill Shalvis
Lucky
in Love is book 4 in the Lucky Harbor series and
I
highly recommend reading the other books in the series before reading
this one.
Otherwise you will spoil yourself.
First
sentences:
Lightning
sent a jagged bolt across Ty Garrison's closed lids. Thunder boomed
and the earth shuddered, and he jerked straight up in bed, gasping as
if he'd just run a marathon.
Summary:
Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and
devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the
local good girl, she's expected to date Mr. Right. But for once,
she'd like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong
than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear
that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine.
Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to
remember once he's gone . . .
For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn't including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all . . . anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.

My
opinion:
Lucky in
Love is the fourth book in the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis
and with this we get introduced to a whole new set of main
characters.
Mallory
Quinn, nurse and chocolate lover, takes care of everyone. She tries
to pleases the whole town and do what is expected from her but
sometimes even the good girl has to break free and do something
crazy.
Ty is
Mallory's man for doing something crazy with. There is an undeniable
attraction between them from the beginning on but both of them try to
ignore that and keep telling themselves that there are no feelings
involved in whatever they got themselves into.
With the
whole town watching Mallory and Ty need to decide if they are willing
to take a risk or if Ty really is just passing through.
Lucky in
Love is another great book in the Lucky Harbor series and told in
Jill's beautiful way of painting a picture. Her writing makes the
story really come to life for me and I can honestly say that whenever
I fell like I need a pick me up I gravitate towards one of her books.
I adored
Maddie, Tara and Chloe, the main characters of the first three books
and wasn't so sure if I would love the new ones just as much as those
three but I do. Mallory is like the girl next door. She's nice and
attentive, she takes care of everyone and everything and puts herself
last on her list of priorities. I think this is a character trade
many girls have and we should be a little more selfish throughout
life. No, I'm not saying be a bitch and take whatever you want. I'm
just saying that maybe sometimes we should look a little bit more
after ourselves before we take care of others and their feelings. I
think it would make things easier.
I never
thought I'd say that but from Mallory's development throughout the
book I really took some advice for myself. Being nice is always good
but sometimes taking what you want will bring you just where you want
to be.
