Head Over Heels: A Lucky Harbor Novel

Jill Shalvis. Grand Central/Forever, $7.99 mass market (368p) ISBN 978-0-446-57163-0

Healthy doses of humor, lust, and love work their magic as Shalvis tells Chloe’s story in her newest Lucky Harbor contemporary romance (after The Sweetest Thing). The youngest and most independent of three sisters, Chloe has always been drawn to the wilder side of life. She prefers spontaneity to routine, but her debilitating asthma keeps her in check, as do her sisters, with whom she runs Lucky Harbor’s B&B. Meanwhile, Sawyer, the local sheriff, puts Chloe off balance with his rugged looks, constancy, and black-and-white view of life. As their chemistry heats up, the relationship develops from mere lust to something considerably deeper and possibly more permanent. Both Chloe and Sawyer must re-evaluate their longtime priorities and see where love falls on the list. Wit, smoking-hot passion, and endearing tenderness outweigh some clichéd scenarios to make this novel a big winner. (Dec.)
