Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the local good girl, she's expected to date Mr. Right. But for once, she'd like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he's gone...Paperback, 341 pages
For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn't -- including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all...anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.

My Rambles:
I absolutely love Jill Shalvis' writing. She makes these fairy tale stories that are so realistic and tangible. Her small towns draw you in and the characters make you stay.
The first three books in the Lucky Harbor series were great, and were definitely the end of an arc. And then Shalvis came out with the next batch - three more books in the same amazing town we've already grown to love. You definitely don't have to read the prior books in the series. This is an excellent standalone (I would recommend reading 1-3 in order and 4-6 in order though).
Each chapter starts off with a really cute/poingnant quote - that perfectly ties into the story. I wonder how long it took Shalvis to write/find them. Normally I bypass any of those - just get me to the story... BUT I read one, and then went back and read them all. Totally perfect, and I continued to read them as I read the story.
Ty and Mallory were perfect - but in that way that was actually not perfect... Let me explain. They were perfect because they weren't perfect. They each had flaws, but by being together they helped each other overcome them and become better people - how a relationship should work!
Definitely a recommended read from me. I can't wait to read the rest in this story arc...
I'm loving the Chocoholics... I love that they came together in a crisis and that chocolate definitely fixes everything!
4/5
