Our Review

Old flames reignite in Sunrise Cove in this charming enemies-to-lovers, second-chance, small-town, forced-proximity love story about family, friendships, and true love from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis. 'Jill Shalvis' books are funny, warm, charming and unforgettable' RaeAnne Thayne, New York Times bestselling author 'Shalvis hits the perfect blend of sweet and spicy' Publishers Weekly ———————————————————– Love can be an adventure . . . When Olive Porter's adventurous parents go missing, she reluctantly seeks out Noah Turner, the only person she knows that can help… and her ex. As a special investigative agent for the National Park Service, Noah's used to always being on the move. Or he was until he got injured. Now resting at home, smothered by his loving but nosy family, he needs a good distraction. And when Olive shows up looking drop dead gorgeous, he has to remind himself that this is the woman who once blew up his entire life and never looked back. But she also just might be his ticket out of town. The question is, will the risk be worth the reward? ———————————————————– PRAISE FOR JILL SHALVIS: 'Perfect, feel-good fiction' Sarah Morgan 'Fall in love with Jill Shalvis!
