It’s in his kiss by Jill Shalvis

It’s been a while.  Not because I haven’t been reading, but trying to write an internal audit assessment and changing jobs made me avoid writing much else in the last few months.  So a mad dash to document what i have read. Starting with this one.  It’s a later entry into the Lucky Harbour series- a romance series set around a small seaside town in the Pacific Northwest with a high concentration of beautiful people getting together. This one features Becca, a travelling young woman […]

A satisfying end to a romance series

Nobody but You by Jill Shalvis

This is the third and final book in the Cedar Ridge series. I have reviewed the first two books in the series, Second Chance Summer and My Kind of Wonderful for previous Cannonballs. You don’t have to have read these to get the book to make sense, but it has more emotional resonance if you’ve at least read book 2 (which is about this hero’s twin brother). Jacob and Hudson Kincaid’s mother started getting dementia at an early age, and it became very difficult for the twins to manage the household with […]

Would probably make for a pretty decent rom com

She’s discovered in a state of partial undress by the actual owner of the house, while she’s leaving a very strongly worded voice mail on her boyfriend’s answerphone. When she’s also […]

This was nice, but nothing I’m likely to remember in a month or two

3.5 stars Bailey Moore was given the all clear from the cancer which dominated every aspect of her life since she was sixteen, and now has a sort of reverse bucket list. While she was sick, she didn’t really imagine much of a future for herself, but now there are just so many things she’d like to do. One of her first items is skiing in the Rocky Mountains, so she goes to the Cedar Ridge skiing resort, but mis-reads the map and ends up […]

Clueless In The Sierra Mountains

by Leave a Comment

I’ll start off this review by saying I’ve not read anything else by Jill Shalvis, but if this book is an indication of her writing…it doesn’t encourage me to try another book.  I picked this up based on the cover blurb: When she gets left at the altar, city girl Breanne decides to go on her honeymoon alone. She ends up snowed in at a Sierra mountains lodge, then discovers that her room has been double-booked, and she ends up sharing with burned-out cop Cooper […]

A nice contemporary romance without too much angst

Lily Danville grew up in Cedar Ridge, Colorado, and loved hiking the mountain trails or climbing the rock faces in the summer, or skiing the challenging slopes in the winter. She was happy there, until tragedy struck and she lost half her family over the course of a few weeks. She’s never forgiven herself and wasn’t ever planning on returning. Having lost her job in a fashionable salon in San Diego and pretty much been blacklisted in the industry, she desperately needs a job, and […]
