ABOUT THE BOOK:
As the brains behind wedding site TyingTheKnot.com, Callie sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles . . . to the tears. It's that last part that keeps her single and not looking. Getting left at the altar will do that to a girl. But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds that her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. And he makes it hard to remember why she's sworn off love . . .
Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie past—and now his teenage son is back in his life. How can Tanner be a role model when he's still paying for his own mistakes? It's hard enough that gorgeous Callie has appeared in town like a beautiful dream, challenging his best-laid plans to keep his heart on lockdown. Though there's something about being around her again that makes him feel like he can be the man she—and his son—deserve. Little Lucky Harbor holds their past; can it hold a beautiful new future?
MY REVIEW:
I tell you what—Lucky Harbor once again is a place I want to visit. Ms Shalvis has made it that way with her vivid characters and clear descriptive words. Her characters are ones I often finish a book thinking they are friends. This book is no different.
Poor Callie had a lot of issues to work past (which book hasn’t?), and Tanner’s pushy ways didn’t help matters. Despite what she originally though, this was indeed, a very good thing. Toss in a kid that gives him hell, and pushes him to be the dad he needs to be, and a whirlwind of conflict paves the way for both.
The catch and release in this story was very moving, and highly emotional. All of it combined, along with the friends each have, forced these two to really open their hearts and minds to the possibility of something more.
It was an engaging read, and a story that will leave you wanting more, and will have you keying in for airline tickets to visit.
