The Good Luck Sister by Jill Shalvis - Audio review

The Good Luck Sister

by Jill Shalvis

☆☆☆☆☆

 

Dylan was the kid no one had any hope for.

Everyone knew he was nothing but trouble.

Including his father of, course.

Except Tilly Adams.

She knew. She was sure he had it in him.

To do anything great. She was his rock.

But then, he had to go.

 Tilly had never gotten over it really.

The way he just bailed.

But now he is back.

He has done great things.

He wants to have Tilly back in his life.

 

But what does she want??

She has questions. And all of their history.

Can she get past it all? Does she want to

take the chance??

 It's Karen White doing the narration.

She has done a lot of Jill Shalvis books.

Karen always does a good job!

Rainy Day Friends by Jill Shalvis - Audio version

Rainy Day Friends

by Jill Shalvis

☆☆☆☆☆

And now we have another Jill Shalvis story.

Because I have never had a moment in one

of her stories, that I even considered sitting it

aside. There are very few writers I can say that

about. There are always tears and laughs. Always

real life challenges. Along with real life feelings.

 Rainy Day Friends is filled with the Capriotti family.

If your life is lucky at all, you have surely come across

a family like this. People that are generous and nosy

and loving and hard working and dependable. They

will share anything with anybody. They hold no

judgment to anyone.

This is where Lanie and River find themselves landing

while in the middle of the worst moments of their lives.

Of course it couldn't be a better place to land. 

River is pregnant and so very alone. She is young and

used to living in a car. Lanie is a young widow and she

has been granted surprise after surprise since her

husbands passing. Strangely, the two of them find

themselves connected. In so many ways. 

Jill Shalvis can write a story, people and places that

burrow right into your heart. Into your real life. You

might find yourself looking out your front door to see

if the world outside has changed. Karen White is the

narrator for a lot of Jill Shalvis books. She does

a nice job. I hope you will enjoy Rainy Day Friends.

 

I borrowed this audio book from my library.

lost and found sisters by Jill Shalvis

lost and found sisters

by Jill Shalvis

 

Wildstone - Book One

 

I have been a big fan of Jill Shalvis for a long time.

I expect certain things from her stories. Much of

which is delivered in lost and found sisters.

Then there is new stuff. The lead character,

Quinn Weller, has a much deeper background

that comes to light in this story. There are the 

chuckles that you look forward to with Jill Shalvis.
There are always fun towns, interesting atmospheres
 and great side characters. But I felt like this story was much

deeper and even has a darker side.

The secrets just kept on coming. The whole story 

was a wonderful surprise. I don't know what

is coming up next in this series. But I do know I am

looking forward to it.

 

I can't explain the title without exposing spoilers.

I believe it will be a much more enjoyable and

interesting read with as little as possible

advance information. I will say this much,

Quinn is a chef in a fancy restaurant

in LA but she cant make a pancake.

And the folks in Wildstone, they dig their

pancakes. With chocolate chips.

 

 "So you're saying you don't feel excited or aroused, Ever."

Well, she hadn't. Until yesterday when she'd reacted to his

leanly muscled build like she'd never seen a man before.

And at the thought, she squirmed again.

"Quinn." He ran a work-roughened finger along the palm of

her hand and she got a full-body shiver. "Do you feel that?"

"Um," she said eloquently.

His eyes held her prisoner while her pulse raced and butter-

flies danced in her belly and at that realization, her palms went

sweaty. She thought about lying but knew she couldn't sell it, not

with how closely he was watching her, seeing her. "Okay, so I feel

something," she managed.

"I think maybe you just switched me back on."

 

My oh my my my, you need to meet Mick. He is a

successful business man that has no interest in being

in Wildstone. No interest at all. But there he is.

Fabulous romance. The story continues to expand

all the way through. Terrific ending. But I sure

am looking forward to the next one.

 

I got this copy from my library.
