The Love Fix (Sunrise Cove #8) by Jill Shalvis


 


Blurb:

Welcome back to Sunrise Cove for this heartwarming enemies-to-lovers tale where found family, forgiveness, and love may just be the key to finding yourself, from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

Lexi Clark’s life is falling apart around her, so when she’s summoned home to Sunrise Cove, the last thing she wants to do is face all the complications she left behind. Her past, her stepsister Ashley, and especially her infuriatingly gorgeous childhood nemesis-turned-crush Heath Bowman.

Yep, Lexi’s pretty sure being home again just might kill her. She’s an overachieving art appraiser who doesn’t believe in trust, love, or Happily Ever Afters. Free spirit Ashley, on the other hand, is so full of life it hurts to look at her. But Lexi can’t refuse Ashley’s plea to honor their late mother’s final wish to make amends with the people she’d wronged.  So, on behalf of her estranged mother’s estate—and with Heath in tow as the executor—Lexi embarks on a road trip to repay all the people her gambling addicted mother owed money to. 

Complicating everything are the feelings that well up for Lexi: for her mom, for Ashley, and most of all, for Heath. And for the record, she doesn’t like it, or the way he has of scaling the walls she’s built around her heart. The road trip shenanigans that ensue are both funny and heartbreaking, but Lexi finds something shocking along the way. Acceptance. Family. And unbelievably—if you ask Lexi anyway—love.

 

My review:

Enter the tapestry of Sunrise Cove set in the Sierra Nevada mountains just off Lake Tahoe. The author paints a picture of a woman coming to terms with a painful past. She learning that there are two sides to every story and only she can let it keep hurting her or reconcile her feelings and move on. Lexi has been letting her past inform her present and it’s keeping her from living her best life. Heath to has a painful past but he handles it differently. Watching these two heal and fall in love was heartwarming. The side characters had me doing spit-takes and laughing out loud.

This book can be read standalone.
