Read from November 24 to December 15, 2011

It never stops to amaze me how much power a book has, how mere words can make you feel like your heart will blow into a million pieces. It's overwhelming, and definitely something I would have never believed possible before I started reading this much and discovering such amazing reads. I will admit a couple of years ago I was one of those people who read 1 or 2 books a YEAR. And yes, I did say 'A YEAR',lol. I guess it used to be mere entertainment before, something to do with too much free time, but it got to become SO MUCH more for me. And reads like this one are the ones which remind me why.

This installment is about the last single sister, Chloe, the wild-child. I will admit she was always my favorite, I loved that she was a bit too immature, free-spirited and wild, but most of all: funny as hell. So it completely amazed me that I enjoyed this book for all the opposite reasons. In this book we see a new Chloe, one who wants to grow up, and get a more deep-rooted life, one who realizes that to have a home and people who will always stand by her side, is possible. So yes, I really had an amazing time reading about this girl who makes the best of what she is given in life and always does so with a smile on her face and a completely positive attitude. Now let's get to the good stuff: OMG what a freaking amazing hero, really. What's not to adore about a HAWT, huge and bad-ass sheriff? Sawyer was everything I wanted him to be and more. Complex and so simple at the same time, bad-boy but sweet, and definitely, definitely ALL ALPHA.
“He was in uniform, gun at his hip, expression dialed to Dirty Harry, and just looking at him had something pinging low in Chloe’s belly.”

BE READY FOR A LOT OF SEXUAL TENSION, SEXY ENCOUNTERS AND LOVELY FAMILY MOMENTS. JUST A FREAKING AMAZING CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE MAIN CHARACTERS. You'll love every second of it.
“She didn’t understand it, but everything about him reminded her that she was a woman.” 

Important tidbit:We do get to read plenty about the previous couples, which was great because I adore them all and definitely needed to read way more about them all.

I just have to say that I adore this author. I can't wait to read more from her and I'll be eternally grateful with the person who recommended her to me, although I'm sorry I can't remember who it was and be able to ask her more recommendations like this one,lol.

Lady Valee Sigh... I wish I didn't have to wait for the kindle version, *sniff.


Wendy S. Marcus I'm *impatiently* waiting for the Kindle edition, too! I pre-ordered it months ago. It'd seemed like a good idea at the time...


Aly (Mircea) Basarab Have you started it? It's amazing!


Lady Valee Not yet, I really want to! But this week was complicated, too much work... and I wanna have some more free time to read it so I can really enjoy it. In between I'm reading some very light reads,lol.


 Lady Jayne *~*The Beach Bandida*~* Great review, Vale! I LOVED this book and Sawyer and Chloe, too! It was just AMAZING! I'm very excited to read 3 more Lucky Harbor books next year - especially more about "Cute Guy" and sexy Ranger Matt. ^_^


Lady Valee Definitely 2 characters I wanna know more about. Can't wait. This series is great! There's just something magical about the way this author writes. I adore it and feel completely immerse.

Thanks Jayne!, love the 'beach bandida' nick, by the way,lol.

How have you been? Haven't seen you around much!


Lady Valee Hahahaha, loved the pic Jayne! I know, I haven't seen you around either. I think it's because I abandoned most of the groups! lol, I just don't have any more free time to spend on those now
:(
gotta work.

But I haven't seen your updates either, which I missed. Nice to chat again!

I haven't been on that much this year, either. Mostly just recently, but not really on groups. Just on friends reviews and status updates etc. Nice chatting with you, too, Vale. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Lady Valee To you too!! Have a nice time with those you love!
