Contemporary Romance Review: Sweet Little Lies by Jill Shalvis


Description:
Choose the one guy you can’t have . . .

As captain of a San Francisco Bay tour boat, Pru can handle rough seas—the hard part is life on dry land. Pru loves her new apartment and her neighbors; problem is, she’s in danger of stumbling into love with Mr. Right for Anybody But Her.

Fall for him—hard . . .

Pub owner Finn O’Riley is six-foot-plus of hard-working hottie who always makes time for his friends. When Pru becomes one of them, she discovers how amazing it feels to be on the receiving end of that deep green gaze. But when a freak accident involving darts (don’t ask) leads to shirtless first aid, things rush way past the friend zone. Fast.

And then tell him the truth.

Pru only wants Finn to be happy; it’s what she wishes for at the historic fountain that’s supposed to grant her heart’s desire. But wanting him for herself is a different story—because Pru’s been keeping a secret that could change everything. . . .

My Thoughts:

Pru and Finn are perfect for each other. There is something Pru is holding back from Finn, which makes a relationship difficult. This book is funny, sweet, and steamy with a magical wishing well and a strange dog named Thor. Great secondary characters. I am looking forward to future books in the series.

Review: Still the One by Jill Shalvis


Description:

Darcy Stone is game for anything — except sexy Navy veteran and physical therapist A.J. Colten, the guy who'd rejected her when she'd needed him most. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he needs her to play nice and help him secure grants for his patients. Unfortunately, Darcy can't refuse. She needs the money to fund her passion project: rescuing S&R dogs and placing them with emotionally wounded soldiers.

A.J. admits it — Darcy is irresistible. But he's already been battle-scarred by a strong-willed, vivacious, adventurous woman like Darcy, and he's not making the same mistake twice—until he and Darcy are forced to fake a relationship. Growing closer than they'd ever imagined possible, Darcy and AJ have to ask themselves: how much between them is pretend? What's the real thing? And where does it go from here?


My Thoughts:
Jill Shalvis is one of my go-to contemporary romance authors. I know I can count on her for a good story with characters I can care about. I know I'll laugh a little and tear up a little. And of course there will be well written steamy scenes. Still the One has all of those things. I loved Darcy. She's recovering from a serious accident and loves gummy bears and rescues dogs. A.J. is great, too. He has his reasons for rejecting her. He has worked hard to help her recover and he just gets her. He also has a project that he needs Darcy's help with. They spend most of their time fighting, but when they are forced to spend a weekend together, things start to change. I sped through this because I couldn't stop reading. It was just so good and left me with a happy sigh.
