People such as Maddie's sisters Tara and Chloe as well as Jax's buddies Ford and Sawyer would be great to have as friends and neighbors. The description of the scenery and the supporting characters have me hooked. Their relationship is super steamy and full of humor. He is hooked by Maddie from the very beginning and does everything he can to break down her myriad of defenses. He is a lawyer, builder, financier, AND the mayor of Lucky Harbor all rolled into one gorgeous package. He is a man of many talents and occupations. The fact that Maddie is an extreme klutz makes her even more endearing. I loved watching this character grow and learn about herself and her estranged sisters. When she finally stands up for herself against an abusive boyfriend and gets fired in the process, she decides to head north to claim her birthright. She had let people walk all over her for her entire life. This was such a fun read! The fun starts right off the bat when Maddie almost runs super-hot Jax off the coast highway and over a cliff. I was really, really NOT ready for this book to be over. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor. The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career-if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington. But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. Maddie Moore's whole life needs a makeover.In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). From the New York Times bestselling author of the Lost and Found Sisters comes a heart-warming and funny story about family, friendship, and love.
