Lexi Clark’s life is a mess. Jobless, she returns home at
her stepsister’s behest. Sunrise Cove holds too many painful memories for Lexi.
She grudgingly agrees to honor her mother’s final wish – to make amends to the
people she had wronged. The endeavor allows Lexi to see her mother in a
different way. She also forges bonds with her stepsister and her childhood
nemesis-turned-crush. Can Lexi finally let go of her past resentment? Will
Sunrise Cove offer what she truly needs?
Heath Bowman spends his time, and energy, taking care of
his grandfather and others. Lexi’s return to Sunrise Cove sends him into a quandary.
He manages to convince Lexi to complete her mother’s last wish. Heath finds
himself volunteering to accompany her along the journey. He cannot ignore the
chemistry brewing between them, but he is hesitant to start something. Will
Heath and Lexi’s trust issues stand in their way? Can he let Lexi go once she finishes
her task?
Heath and Lexi’s background broke my heart. Both were
hurt by a parental figure but in different ways. I understand why Heath and
Lexi both keep people at arm’s length. They have been hurt too many times by
the few individuals they let in. Since they have so much in common, they
understand each other.
What I adore the most about Lexi is how she does not need
Heath to fix her problems. She rather meets her challenges and problems on her
own terms. I like how Heath never once tried to push Lexi to forgive her
mother. Yeah, it often puts him in a difficult position.
THE LOVE FIX is the eighth book in Jill Shalvis’
contemporary romance, women’s fiction series, SUNRISE COVE. Each book in this
series can stand alone because each story has a new cast of characters. There
is no on-going or carried-over plot.
Jill Shalvis never disappoints me. I know to anticipate
humor to lighten up the tough subject matters she touches on in each book. She
also includes a quirky pet that warms my heart whenever I read her stories.
Gus, Heath’s cankerous grandfather, is my favorite
character. His antics made me giggle. He made the book so dang enjoyable!
