Forgiving yourself and forgiving others are hard lessons to learn. Especially when expectations of others are pretty low. It's safer to keep your heart protected and to not let anyone in. But it's supposed to be easier when you're grown up, right? Another thoughtful story from Jill Shalvis.

Ugh I LOVE a good second chance with depth and substance to the story! Lexi was an FMC I really enjoyed, I related a lot to her story and the family dynamics happening. It was really sweet to see her live out final wishes from her mom while also experiencing a found love through her old crush (hello unexpected road trip) and her sister. This was a binge-worthy and enjoyable book that I would recommend when needed a quick read!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins Publishers for this ARC!

So this one was a slight miss for me. I feel like the FMC had a lot to work through with not only her family but also her love interest. To me it just fell flat.

I have loved the sunrise Cove series from beginning to end. This book was not my favorite but still a good read.
Lexi Clark, antique appraiser, has been fired from her job and her life has fallen apart. When she receives a summons for help from her step sister Ashley, the last thing she wants to face is going home. She feels like she will be another emotional burden added to her sisters load but she knows she needs to go back and help Ashley take care of her step mom’s last request.
Heading back to Sunrise Cove brings surprises of its own. Little did Lexi know that her long-time school rival and secret crush, Heath Bowman, was the administrator of the estate and right in the middle of everything!
Lexie fights hard to stay apart from the others but time and proximity can slowly erode even the hardest heart.
Lexie and Ashley’s journey to sisterhood is slow but heart warming and of course her journey with Heath is well worth the read. Sometimes happy every after’s come when you least expect it!

This book put a smile on my face and warm fuzzies in my heart. This was such an enjoyable read. This is another great installment in the Sunset Cove series, and part of what I love about this series is that you do not need to read the books in a particular order. I also love the setting of a small town near Lake Tahoe. I highly recommend this book.

I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a family story with conflict, loss, romance, and a bit of snappy dialogue. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.

Sisters and a second chance romance - you can always count on Jill Shalvis!

After her estranged mother’s death, Lexi finds herself back home in Sunrise Cove. The last thing she expects is a road trip with her old crush, but thanks to a series of final wishes from her mom, that’s exactly what she ends up doing.

I loved the relationship between Lexi and Ashley, stepsisters who didn’t grow up together but form a bond as adults. They grow together despite not seeming to have much in common on the surface. And I always love a good road trip trope, with its forced proximity and unpredictable events.

Lexis life is falling apart when she is fired from her job and unjustly accused of stealing from her clients, while at the same time dumped by her boss/boyfriend. Shortly afterwards her half sister Ashley calls her home to help her deal with the estate of her mother Daisy, something she really doesn't want to do. So.... Lexi goes home, deals with lots of demons from her past as well as her old childhood nemesis/neighbor Heath.

This is, of course not an unusual trope in romance, but the author did a great job making me love watching these half sisters break down each others walls and open up years of miscommunication. The love story is sweet as well, with both Lexi and Heath having closed off hearts to open and issues to resolve. Heath has a family, especially a grandfather that is totally delightful and the whole story is a sweet romance. I have not read the other books in the series so I did not feel like I missed anything by reading it as a stand alone. Thank you to net galley and Avon for the e galley copy of this book.

It's family conflict and and loss with just the right amount of romance. You will enjoy it from the first chapter to the last! She knows how to keep heavy topics light.

This was a charming romance filled with relatable characters. The chemistry between the characters feels authentic. While some parts are predictable, the emotional moments still resonate. Overall, it’s a feel-good, romance book.

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc.

A great read highlighting the complexities of love and family. I really enjoyed Lexi’s journey in this book. It was heartfelt and real.

This was my first book by Jill, but it won’t be my last. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC!

The Love Fix by Jill Shalvis brings us back to Sunrise Cove where we meet Lexi Clark, who is summoned back hometown, albeit reluctantly. There, she is forced to rekindle relationships that she has no interest in, specifically Heath. One thing I wish is that I had read the enitre series before this book, as I felt like I was missing some of the angst between the characters which I might have had a better appreciation for if I was more familiar with the quaint little town we were emersed in. Overall, good story, fast read.

This was a great read with characters I fell in love with. I loved Lexi, Heath, and Ashley! There is a a lot of character development and real life issues of family love and trust.

Another adventure in Sunrise Cove and beautiful Lake Tahoe.

Lexie Clark was enjoying her life, until she was fired from her job as an art appraiser, got dumped by her boyfriend, and was now on a death defying flight to her step-sister Ashley in Sunrise Cove. She really wanted to skip this trip, but Ashley begged, so here she was. But not only did Ashley come to pick her up, so did her childhood nemesis Heath Bowman. Unfortunately, he was a crush that never went away.

Lexie and Ashley’s mother passed away a year ago and left a special provision in her will to be opened a year after her death. Daisy was a habitual gambler, a hoarder, and constantly borrowed but never paid back.
Lexie was shocked when she found out Daisy won the lottery just before she died. She had divided her winnings into six envelopes to be delivered to special people, once a week, only in person. Lexie, Ashley and Heath were stymied by this scenario, but reluctantly agreed. The adventure begins.

I laughed, shed a few tears and enjoyed the banter, snarking and eventual love talk between Lexie and Heath. It’s always a pleasure to read stories by Jill Shalvis, starting on the first page your emotions are captured.
If you like family, laughter and romance grab this book by Jill Shalvis

This was really good.
Lexi is coming home after the death of a mother that was never there for her as a child. She has been fired from her job because she put her trust in the wrong person and vowing to not do that again. She is trying not to be jealous of the relationship that Ashley, her step sister, did have with Daisy, her mom, and having a hard time. Then there is Heath.

This book had a few twists I didn't see coming, but still really good
Thank you Netgalley and the author for the advanced copy

Jill Shalvis has done it again! Another great book. Its about family, trust, and love. Every family has its issues and Ashley and Lexi have to learn how to navigate their way back to being sisters. Lexi also has to learn how to love and let go. Its a great read. I read it in two days.

Lexi comes home after her mom, Daisy, has been gone a year now. Her stepsister, Ashley, has a task that Daisy wanted completed. The two girls have to hand envelopes to several people of Daisy's choosing, but they have to do it together. Ashley and Heath are pretty much best friends. Heath lives in the neighborhood with his grandfather and takes care of him. Lexi and Heath have a bit of a past which makes this situation all that more intriguing. Ashley had a much different relationship with Daisy than Lexi did. So much good conflict in this story. I love the complicated web that Jill Shalvis weaves in her newest book.

There wasn't anything I didn't love about this book. Heath could be my new favorite Shalvis hero. This guy is sexy and smart. He's like a hot lawyer turned blue collar guy. He's kind, generous and oh so patient with Lexi. He also has his own stuff he's dealing with. Ashley is kind and innocent and wants so desperately to rebuild her relationship with Lexi. Lexi is a very broke, very complicated person with trust issues. Coming back has forced her to deal with the past and all the things she's learning about her mother while delivering the letters. This book is funny, but also deep and emotional at times. This book grabbed me from start to finish. Another great book from Jill Shalvis!

I loved this journey of self discovery, family issues and love. I thought that Heath and Lexi were amazing characters and enjoyed their journey.

Lexi is asked to come back to her hometown to help her step-sister go through her mother's belongings after she passes away. Her and her sister are also asked to deliver a series of envelopes to people from her mom's troubled past. As soon as Lexi arrives in town, she meets her high school crush/neighbor who happens to live next door to her sister still. Will they have their happily ever after or will old issues get in their way? Will Ashley and Lexi mend their childhood issues? Youll have to read to find out!

I thought it was a super cute premise, but it lacked excitement for me and took me over a month to read. This is the first book I've read by this author, and I think her fans will definitely like it!

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the chance to read this book ahead of publication!

I want to move to Sunrise Cove. I loved Lexi, Heath, and Ashley. Jill Shalvis is the queen of writing family. I don’t want to give anything away so all I will say is you’ll love the journey these three take together. You’ll laugh, cry and root for everyone. This is a feel good novel with lots of lessons of love, family and forgiveness.
