5 "Happy doesn't even begin to cover it" stars!!
Chloe and Sawyer's happily ever after has always been my favorite of all the couples in the Lucky Harbor series because theirs was the hardest fought and the most richly deserved. These two amazing people grew up hard, and finding each other ... well, finding each other gave them a chance at a beautiful life filled with family, joy, and the best kind of love - the kind you get when you've found your soulmate.

Merry Christmas, Baby is #12.5 In the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis. Leave it to me to start a new series at the end! I have been wanting to read this series for a long time so at least I finally started, right?! This was a sweet addition to my Christmas reading this year. It definitely made me want to learn more about the residents of Lucky Harbor.
Chloe and Sawyer are two weeks from Chloe’s due date for their first child. This was most definitely NOT a planned pregnancy. They had ...more
5 stars – Contemporary/Holiday Romance Novella
This is a short, sweet, and feel-good holiday treat for Sawyer and Chloe fans! And I thought Sawyer was the most perfectly swoonalicious, protective hero before (in Head Over Heels)?!!! *Content, dreamy sigh*
I just wish it had been longer and that we’d find out their (view spoiler). I really hope this isn’t the last we’ve seen of this endearing couple. I’d love another novella about their life together (as a family) a ...more

And that, my friends, is a wrap. One perfect quote sums up my feelings for this novella, the entire Lucky Harbor series and for finally sitting down and introducing myself to Jill Shalvis’ words.

IT’S OVER. It’s really over now. I’ve put off reading this novella for as long as I could because one, I didn’t want the series to end and two, because I knew that if I read it, there was a real chance that I would want to reread the entire series again.
I read it. I miss the series already. And it only makes me want to cry.
Jill Shalvis’ Lucky Harbor series is one of my all-time favorite series. It’s one a turn to when life gets a little too tough and you need something to make you smile and ...more
An adorable ending to the series -- and a special Christmas treat when Chloe and Sawyer celebrate the holiday with the arrival of a new baby. Knowing those two, you expect plenty of stubborn determination and a whole lot of family and friends thrown into the mix. Jill Shalvis, as usual, gives readers just what they want in romance. I was sad to see it end on such a short note and without a baby's name though!

Chloe Thompson is 8 1/2 months pregnant and she's terribly insecure. Sawyer is going away for two weeks on a special assignment for the DEA and she wonders if her pregnancy hormones have pushed him away.
This was a bittersweet moment as it's the end of the series. It was sort of fitting to finish with Chloe and Sawyer as she was the most free spirited and restless of all the women featured in the series. She reflects on her life in Lucky Harbor and her relationship with Sawyer and comes full cir ...more

I just had a little cry. I set myself a reading challenge at the beginning of the year and it was to read this series.
Lucky Harbor and every person I met reading the books in this series have found a special and permanent place in my heart.

EEEEEEEKKKKKK my favorite couple !!!! yeaaaaaaa!!!!
The baby squirmed and then let out a howl. Chloe hugged her. “Hush, Bean,” she murmured softly, gently rocking her in her arms. “Mommy’s very busy having a freakout.”
Sawyer looked down at the baby and then back into Chloe’s eyes. “Thank you for my daughter. For being my wife. For being my entire life. Merry Christmas, Chloe.”

Merry Christmas, Baby is part of the Lucky Harbor series, which I haven’t read. But after diving into this short novella and falling instantly for the characters, I’m all the more eager to pick up this series and meet more of the characters in this cast.

It's short and sweet and utterly heartwarming! Merry Christmas, Baby is the kind of story that will make you wish you lived in a small town surrounded by quirky and caring people. It will make you laugh, smile and swoon and definitely touch your heart.

Absolutely loved getting a glance at some of the older characters in this series that started it all. And of course Chloe and Sawyer are such a wonderful pair to get to sneak a peek at. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
I have to admit that Chloe and Sawyer aren't among my favorites in this series, but this really shed some light on the struggles in their relationship and I absolutely loved the dedication that Sawyer has for his relationship with Chloe even though she still doubts ...more

This is a 47 page short story about Chloe freaking out as the birth of her and Sawyer's baby nears.
The story was OK..but I expected more from Ms Shalvis. The last three Luck Harbor books were wonderful.

I feel like this is the kind of story, in the hands of Laura Florand, that could have brought tears to my eyes. In the hands of Jill Shalvis, though, it is merely cute.

There's no better ending to one of the best romance series than this book. Jill Shalvis takes us back to the characters that started it all and I couldn't be happier.
I loved seeing again Maddie, Jax, Tara, Ford, Lucille! I loved seeing more into their lives and getting to see Chloe and Sawyer struggling but loving each other so much they would not give up. I fell in love with all of these characters even more.

For anyone who's a fan of the Lucky Harbor series, MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABY is a must read. Because who wouldn't want to be there when Chloe and Sawyer have their baby?
With this short story, we follow Chloe as she spends the week before Christmas missing Sawyer (who's out of town for work) and trying very hard not to act like a crazy person while being eight and a half months pregnant. In typical Chloe fashion, the stubborn woman is determined to do what she wants and ends up at the Lucky Harbor Ch ...more

I was so excited to see that this story was about Sawyer and Chloe. Their book, Head Over Heels, is one of my favorites in this series and they continue to be one of my favorite couples. I loved that they were pregnant and even though they were having a bit of a rough patch, they still were crazy about each other. One of my favorite parts is when Sawyer places his hands on Chloe's baby bump to calm the Bean. How cute a nickname is that?! I also loved that even after 5 years together, Chloe was s

“Taking her hand in his, he looked at her with those warm brown eyes. "What do you need from me?" he asked quietly.
"I have no idea." She let out a breath and dropped her forehead to his chest. "Whatever you've got."
He gathered her into his strong arms. "Everything," he said, and brushed his mouth along her temple. "You've got everything I've got and everything I am.”

"I have no idea." She let out a breath and dropped her forehead to his chest. "Whatever you've got."
He gathered her into his strong arms. "Everything," he said, and brushed his mouth along her temple. "You've got everything I've got and everything I am.”
“I've never been so tied to a place, to a person. Until you. But," she said when his eyes began to shutter, "it's the way I want it. I want to be tied to you."
He studied her for a long moment and then his lips curved.
"You're picturing it, aren't you," she said drily. "Me tied."
"To my bed," he said on a low laugh. "Yeah, a little bit. But mostly I'm liking knowing that you're tied to my heart.”
