When I started this book, I wasn’t sure about it. But, as I continued reading, I couldn’t put it down. The characters were fascinating, funny, and unique. Anna, along with her VERY pregnant sister, Wendy, had to come to terms with their father’s history and how that would affect his legacy. Owen had to deal with his aunt’s illness and hoped to bring her some joy in finding her stolen items. While the mystery of finding her stolen property brought Anna and Owen together, would finding the answers tear them apart or bring them together?

This book is a little different than the others I have read in the Sunrise Cove series; those tend to have more of a quirky small town/neighbors vibe, and there are several recurring characters and familiar places. I didn’t recognize these characters from past books, and it was a slightly different type of story….but different in a VERY good way.

Central to this story is a mystery - a mystery of stolen coins/jewelry, and whether or not the main character’s father was the thief. Anna’s father recently passed away after struggling with an illness that he also kept from his daughters, so they are questioning what they knew about him. Anna’s sister Wendy is home bound and pregnant with triplets…and a relative of the woman missing the jewels shows up asking for Anna’s help in finding them.

I like that the characters don’t take things too seriously - there is a lot of sarcasm and joking in the dialogue. I also loved the bond between the sisters, and that even through their struggles, their love is apparent. And the connection between Anna and Owen is undeniable.

I didn’t want to put this one down - I loved the story, and the characters.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley; all opinions are my own.

Thank you Net Galley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I have always been a Jill Shalvis fan and this book did not disappoint. I loved it! It had a little bit of everything. ..romance, mystery, and comedy.
Anna Moore is a private investigator who stumbles on a valuable coin in her deceased father's belongings. It turns out this coin was part of a collection that been stolen about a decade ago. Enter Owen Harris the grand-nephew of the women the coin collection had belonged to. They decide to join together to solve the mystery of how her father came to be in possession of the coin and where the rest of the collection might be. Add into the mix Anna's wildly funny older sister, Wendy, who is on bed rest while awaiting the arrival of her triplet daughters. There is so much to unravel in this book. The dynamic of the sister's relationship is hilarious. I love Wendy and her no-nonsense approach to dealing with her more serious sister. I was laughing out loud many times. Owen is just the sweetest and he and Anna have to work together while fighting their attraction for each other. They both claim to be non-relationship worthy people. Can that change?
I highly recommend this book.

This was a good read. Anna is dared by her homebound sister who is carrying triplets to find the value of a coin that was discovered in their Dad's belongings. and so the adventure begins. Finding out that their Dad had a past was hard for Anna. With the help of Owen, Wendy, Hayden and friends, she faced it. Both Owen and Hayden sound like dreams! I am sure guys like that really exist, but not in my world sadly. I really liked how caring Owen was toward his great aunt. The quips and one liners really cracked me up. I recommend this for a good summer read. thanks to NetGalley for the advanced copy.

This is a really cute book, mystery romance, suspense and humor all rolled up in this book. The dialogue between the sister is fun and sometimes hysterical. The large dog, who is afraid of everything, is so much fun. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Anna and Owen are wonderful characters. I laughed so hard while reading the book. There’s mystery and angst. This is a great romantic story. Anna’s sister Wendy is a hoot. The writing flows smoothly. It’s a great book.

This a one of my go-to authors when I need a pick-me-up. She always warms my soul with her female protagonists. The two sisters, Anna and Wendy, have a special relationship due to their mother’s untimely death. Anna is a Private investigator while Wendy is beached whale pregnant with triplets on bedrest. They maintain a snappy dialogue throughout with plenty of humor, sarcasm and wit. Wendy being the oldest tends to meddle, always trying to set Anna up with random guys and sometimes disregards boundaries altogether. Wendy’s husband is a patient saint tolerating his wife’s crazy cravings and busybody tendencies.
There’s a mystery surrounding a valuable coin found in their father’s possessions after his passing. It results in a partnership Anna never wanted with an adrenaline junkie. He claims the coin was stolen from his aunt. The tenuous relationship has no trust but their attraction simmers beneath. The missing treasure becomes larger than life and leads to life or death situations. It’s a feel good rom-com with steamy seductiveness in a stunning locale.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing an advance reader’s e-proof of “The Summer Escape”, Sunrise Cove Series #6, by Jill Shalvis, Avon and HarperCollins, expected publication 06/11/2024. These are always all my own honest personal thoughts and opinions given voluntarily without compensation.

When Anna Moore discovers that a coin she has recovered was allegedly stolen by her father it becomes her mission to prove his innocence... which then leads to a exhilarating cross country trip with a very handsome adventurer named Owen Harris. A trip that completely changes the course of her very predictable life... in a very good way!

The Summer Escape is an entertaining and funny adventure that is certain to keep you enthralled from start to finish! These two were quite entertaining and also quite different people, where Owen is always chasing adventure our heroine Anna is usually trying to avoid it. Which means when you throw those two type of folks together on an excursion you're bound to get some banter and laughs... and boy did we ever! I loved following these two through the pages, they made me smile till my face hurt and gave my heartstrings a nice little workout!

If you have never read a romance by this author I highly suggest you remedy that, and The Summer Escape is a good place to start, what you find waiting for you between the pages here is bound to turn you into a fan of hers! Nobody does romance quite like Ms. Shalvis!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 4/5 stars

An adorable romance with a dash of mystery from Jill Shalvis. We return to Sunrise Cove and follow private investigator Anna Moore. When Anna’s heavily pregnant sister, Wendy, convinces her to clear her late father of a jewelry heist. This leads her to Owen Harris, a hot, mysterious adventure junkie. The two decide to work together and fall for each other while going on a wild quest.

This was so fun and different from the previous Sunrise Cove books. I loved the mystery element. We get two sweet romances and an excellent sister relationship. Another excellent romance from Shalvis.

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a book about even the toughest needing to find someone. It's about overcoming previous trauma and making a life for yourself. It's about finding your person.
I laughed, I cried...so good!

Classic Shalvis with a twist of danger this time.
PI Anna forms an unlikely alliance with dashing Owen to solve the mystery of his aunt's jewels and coins. What starts out as an unlikely pairing turns into a fun-filled and dangerous journey. Finding the missing items and falling in love isn't easy to do. Add in the fact that Anna's sister Wendy is about to give birth to triplets, and you have - like I said - a classic Shalvis story.

Watching her characters fall in love is always funny, and Shalvis injects enough snark, witty banter, and genuine angst on both the hero and heroine's parts, that it;'s always fun to see who falls first.
Thanks to Netgalley for a sneak peek at yet another winner from Jill.

I received this ARC in exchange for a voluntary honest review.
I love reading Jill Shalvis books. This one is a great addition to the Sunrise Cove series. There’’s mystery and unexpected action in this cute romance. It kind of reminded me of Sawyer and Chloe in Head over Heals <3

She has amazed me again. Wonderful characters, a great story that I didn't want to end and as always some charming four legged creatures.

Anna Moore is a PI, mostly for insurance fraud. She was a wild child, but has made a 180 and has become very ridged in her life, with little trust for anyone but her big sister, her brother-in-law and her few besties. And definitely not for men, as she has been hurt too many times. Then Owen Harris enters her life after she found a rare coin in a box of her Dad's things, a coin he claims was stolen from his great Aunt Ruby, who now suffers from dementia. The coin was a part of a collection along with a family heir, Ruby Red. He thinks that her father, who is now deceased stole it and she is out to prove her father innocent and find the stolen goods. He insists on staying at her side when she does. And since this is a Jill Shalvis story the mistrust soon turns to attraction and then love. To add spice and comic relief to the story, Wendy, Anna's sister is bedridden, pregnant with triples.

I was gifted with an advanced reader's copy of this book from NetGalley.com. This is my honest, unbiased and voluntary review.

Anytime I pick up a Jill Shalvis novel, I am guaranteed to get sucked into a story that I won't be able to put down for hours. Her stories are always full of quirky characters that you just can't help making a connection with as you read. This latest entry set in Sunrise Cove features Anna and Wendy who are trying to clear their father's reputation after his death. But as evidence mounts that is tarnishing his reputation, Anna also has to deal with her own conflicted feelings about her father. And if that isn't enough, she is also trying to manage her sister who is on bed rest while pregnant with twins and her attraction to the very man making her question her father's reputation. Aptly titled, the Summer Escape, is the perfect escape for an afternoon of reading enjoyment. Just to warn readers, it's impossible not to laugh at the antics between Wendy and Anna.

Such a fun, sweet novel. A little predictable in parts, but I really enjoyed it. There is already a waiting list at my library.

Anna and Owen embark on an adventure together. Anna to prove her father's innocence and Owen to recover his beloved Aunt's stolen property. Along the way they open up to one another and realize they have a lot in common and begin to trust each other. They may not be on opposite sides after all.

Anna's sister Wendy is on bed rest awaiting the arrival of her triplets but she's always in Anna's ear...literally....she makes Anna call her so she can hear everything as it's happening in the investigation. The banter between the sisters is hysterical.

I've said this before but it's worth saying it again...I absolutely LOVE that Jill Shalvis always has animals in her stories. It's just *chefs kiss*.
This one has Turbo, Owen's dog, who is such a character, honking the horn when he's tired of waiting. His antics had me literally laughing out loud. Of course I can't leave out the cats, CLAWdia and JenniFUR, The names are just too cute.

Such creativity for the storyline and personalities even for the pets and for someone like myself who is a huge animal lover it's the icing on the already delicious cake.

Thank you Jill Shalvis, Avon and Harper Voyager, and Netgalley for this ARC

The snark is off the charts here so fans of comedic stories, this one's for you! Shalvis does witty banter so well, and there's plenty of it here.

As a main character, Anna is relatable and likable. Her relationship with her sister seems realistic and provides for entertainment. Also, the dog Turbo is darling. The chemistry between Anna and Owen is a delicious slow burn that readers are sure to love. Finally, the mystery component and the scavenger hunt narrative keep us turning the pages to a satisfying conclusion.

You don't need to have read others in the series to enjoy this romantic caper; it easily stands alone.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy; all opinions in this review are 100% my own.

This has got to be one of the most juvenile, annoying books I have ever read. The sisters were absolutely ridiculous and I have no idea how either survives. The only decenter character was Owen and I wanted to tell him to run far, far away from Anna.

While part of a series set near Tahoe, this novel is easily read as a stand alone. It offers suspense and drama, romance, and heartfelt moments with family. The main characters were pretty interesting, even though the female lead was sometimes a bit obstinate about her relationships.
