My review on: Beyond Reading 
 Lucky in Love reminded me a lot of Redwood Bend by Robyn Carr in a totally good way (I did really like that book). I had never read Jill Shalvis before Lucky in Love (I have no recollection of it, at least), but I'd expected her to a be a very soft author, portraying a delicate heroine with a quiet gentleman as the 'bad boy'. Wrong. And I'm so glad I read this book. I was entertained through and through by the bantering, the best friends and what is now one of my favorite contemporary romance heroes. And soft? Puh-lease, I could practically feel the passion coming off of the pages. The characters were very well written and supported by believable emotions and backgrounds (of course). I enjoyed the recurring 'Mr. Wrong' theme and the hints at the future of Amy and Matt. 
 I usually read one and a half books a day so, yes, it takes a good bit for a book to stand out in my head and this did, though I felt the ending was rushed a bit. I'm so going to read the whole series.
