Book four of the Holloway series
Travis Yardley thought he had everything he needed, but one look at Andrea Patterson shows him he was wrong. Andie is a gorgeous, curvy blonde who moves to town to manage a nearby campground. Seizing the chance to get close to her, Travis volunteers himself as tour guide and "bodyguard.'
After a bad breakup, Andie is looking to start over and determined to put her heart on hiatus. She's working on her self-esteem, and she is not ready for the likes of Travis. He comes on strong, with all the energy of a guy almost ten years her junior, which is exactly what he is.
Even as Travis's troubled past catches up with him, he pulls out all the stops to convince Andie he deserves a chance. And with the spring thaw hitting the Mountain View Resort, Andie discovers her own temperature rising whenever Travis looks her way…
This is book 4 of the Halloway series the final one i believe. If you followed this series we already got the stories of the 3 main guys in the series and Travis was always kind of a secondary character until now. Most people who followed these books have wondered about Travis and wanted to find out more about him. Finally we get it in Just What He Wanted. Travis had a hell of a upbringing. We finally find out what happened to him as a kid and how he got to be part of the family. He meets Andrea Patterson or Andie and falls head of heals in love with her at first site. Kind of funny for a guy like him. He doesn't know how to deal with it. Added the fast that she is several years older than him and some other hang up Andie has and the drams is bound to come. Both Travis and Andie have some hang ups to deal with. It's kind of fun to watch them make their way through all the mess that is their emotional baggage to find each other. Awesome way to wrap up the series. 4 out of 5 stars for Just What He Wanted by HelenKay Dimon.

After a high-profile case goes wrong, Luke Hanover returns to his hometown for some peace and quiet. Instead he finds a bombshell brunette in a heap of trouble. As he helps Ali put her world back together, the pieces of Luke's own life finally seem to fall into place. Is this the start of a sizzling fling? Or are Luke and Ali on the brink of something big in a little town called Lucky Harbor?
The Lucky Harbor series continues with the first of 3 more book in the series. Ali Winters has the worst luck all at one time. Seems like everything is falling apart in her life. Boyfriend dumps her then she finds out he was cheating on her with more than one woman and then $50,000 in cash goes missing and she's the one accused by the ex for taking it. She's homeless and she loses her job when the owner closes it down to move away. Luke Hanover finds her in her undies in his home that he rents out but is supposed to be vacant. This is how they meet. Luke just looking to hide out for a while from his disappointment in himself. A cop he had a case go horribly bad and is blaming himself. He doesn't want to help Ali at first but one look in her eyes and he's sunk. Even though Ali is in dire straights herself she helps him as he helps her. The whole while falling for her and in denial about it. Ali tells herself she can do this but after a while it's apparent she can't and not fall for him. In the mean time Luke and Ali try to find out who really took the $50,000 before Luke has to go back to his real life and back to his job. I enjoyed this installment of the Lucky Harbor series. We get a pinch of time with our old friend Sawyer and the sheriff investigating the stolen money. Luke thinks he has issues but it's nothing compared to everything that Ali has been through in her life and he learns from her how to persevere and stay strong. He is so gentle with her and so taken by her she will to not let things get her down. Of course there is a nice healthy dose of Jill Shalvis humor is this book as well. Below are a few of my favorite lines.
"Not all men will disappoint you," he said. "I don't mean me. Because i will absolutely disappoint you. But we're not all assholes, Ali.
"I'm not nice. I'm never nice. And Jesus, remind me to never try and separate you from your ice cream again."
He stared at her. "I don't think i am authorized to have this conversation." ( this after Ali told him she might be falling for him) lol
Once Luke got it together i really liked him a lot. We get introduced to more people who will be in the next two books as well. Another hit for Jill Shalvis. 4 out of 5 stars for It Had to Be you.

Scandalous, Book 2
Cori’s automatic response to trouble has always been to run in the opposite direction. The last time she left her hometown of Pebble Cove, it was to escape the kind of heartbreak no sixteen-year-old should have to endure.

People have disappointed Dylan nearly his whole life, but he’s a big boy; he’s learned to move on. Except when it comes to the love of his life, the now-famous, one-name supermodel Corinne. Despite what she put him through—abandoning him when he needed her most—to him she’ll always be just Cori.
When a series of events throws them together, they fall back into old patterns—and into each other’s arms. But even as love rekindles, Cori fights the rising urge to run…before the truth of the night she ran away shatters both their hearts beyond repair.
