Synopsis: Welcome
back to Sunrise Cove for this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers tale where found
family, forgiveness, and love may just be the key to
finding yourself, from New York Times bestselling author Jill
Shalvis.
Lexi Clark’s life is falling apart around her, so when she’s
summoned home to Sunrise Cove, the last thing she wants to do is face
all the complications she left behind. Her past, her stepsister
Ashley, and especially her infuriatingly gorgeous childhood
nemesis-turned-crush Heath Bowman.
Yep, Lexi’s pretty sure being home again just might kill
her. She’s an overachieving art appraiser who doesn’t believe in
trust, love, or Happily Ever Afters. Free spirit Ashley,
on the other hand, is so full of life it hurts to look at her. But
Lexi can’t refuse Ashley’s plea to honor their late mother’s final wish to make
amends with the people she’d wronged. So, on behalf of her
estranged mother’s estate—and with Heath in tow as the executor—Lexi
embarks on a road trip to repay all the people her gambling addicted
mother owed money to.
Complicating everything are the feelings that well
up for Lexi: for her mom, for Ashley, and most of all, for Heath. And
for the record, she doesn’t like it, or the way
he has of scaling the walls she’s built around her
heart. The road trip shenanigans that ensue are both funny and
heartbreaking, but Lexi finds something shocking along the way.
Acceptance. Family. And unbelievably—if you ask Lexi anyway—love.
My Thoughts: Oh
Jill Shalvis, you did it again! The
Love Fix had me staying up late, waking up early, and not wanting to put the
book down. From the first time I saw
this gorgeous cover I knew that Heath and Lexi would be a couple that I would
want to be friends with. Their histories
broke my heart and their relationship helped to put it back together.
As I got to know all the characters and their histories, I
just became more invested. I needed Lexi
to connect with her sister. I wanted
Heath to win over Lexi. I had high hopes
that Lexi’s relationship with her deceased mother would somehow get better and
heal Lexi’s heart some. This is a lot
to ask of an author, a lot to put into a book, yet Jill Shalvis was able to put
more than what I expected into the book.
The Love Fix is a perfect summer read. I devoured it in just over 24 hours not
wanting to put it down.
Thank you Avon Books for a copy of the book in exchange for
my honest review.
