Becca Thorpe has uprooted her life and escaped to the beach. Now’s her chance to get away from city living, throw caution to the ocean winds, and live in the moment. Especially if the moment includes the deliciously sexy surfer she meets shortly after arriving in Lucky Harbor. Something about the dark intensity of Sam’s eyes and the thrill she gets at his touch convinces her to stay awhile.

Boatbuilder and investment genius Sam Brody is a self-made man who knows how dangerous it can be to mix business and pleasure. But he can’t resist offering Becca a job just to hear her laugh and have her near. Yet when her brother comes to town asking for help, will he tempt her back to her glamorous life in the city? Or do Sam and little Lucky Harbor have a chance to win Becca’s heart?

It’s in His Kiss by Jill Shalvis

 

This book was so much fun to read. It came at a time when I was looking to find a distraction and this book was the perfect way for me to escape. I had not read any of Jill Shalvis’s books before. I found out that this was her tenth Lucky Harbor novel, and I love to read books by authors that I have never read.

Once I started it I found that I could not put it down. Becca is the central charter and she is doing her best to start over in her life in Lucky Harbor a world away from the life she use to lead. I found that I could related to Becca in trying to start my life over and having things in my life that might be holding me back. What we find in Becca is a smart, funny and a character that we are rooting for to find what she needs.

Then their is Sam the main male character in the book and she labels him Sexy Grumpy Surfer. He is a guy filled with secrets of his own but in his own way he shows everyone around him that he cares.

He and Becca both have things in their pasts that they have to learn to face and it is interesting watching them struggle to find their way to each other and deal with the past. This makes them a perfect fit for one another. Of course, they have to face challenges in their road to love, but it is great to see how they get through them

This book is part of a trilogy, and I can’t wait to read the next two books. During the holidays, you need a break so pick up this book and get lost in it. You will get some peaceful time.
