Review Post: Playing For Keeps by Jill Shalvis: A Heartbreaker Bay Series

By






Two people who are oil and water come together to rescue an abandoned dog in a storm. When they both want to adopt the dog, they agree to joint custody. Little did they know it would change everything…



Playing for Keeps, Book 7 in the Heartbreaker Bay Series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Jill Shalvis, releases on January 22, 2019.
From the adorable meet-cute through interfering families and misunderstandings, the novel delivers sweet fun with warmth and joy. -- Publishers Weekly


If you’re planning on falling in love…

When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s yoga pants, he’s a suit. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.
you’d better be sure…
Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.
… someone is there to catch you.
Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.


 RATING/REVIEW: ☕☕☕☕☕ (5 cups of heat for this romance that starts with a dog and ends up more than anyone can bargain for)

Playing for Keeps is the seventh book in Jill Shalvis beloved Heartbreaker Bay series.  For those familiar with the series, the characters here are new ones with previous beloved characters making cameo appearances here and there.  Still, the heart of the series is always present and this time around it's two hardened souls who found the most unexpected way of connecting and falling in love.  I simply adore Jill Shalvis' writing, it's funny, sexy but most of all she happens to imbue her characters with their own individual character stamp that makes each love story unique.  It was wonderful to read and experience Sadie and Caleb's journey and to find out how each of them manage to make their own lives despite their childhood is inspiring.  Playing for Keeps is definitely worth keeping.

Blog Hop Giveaway:Switched by Cassie Mae

Switched by Cassie Mae was a funny and often frustrating read but highly entertaining. Kayla, Wesley, Reagan and Talon were all friends. Reagan and Talon were a couple while Kayla and Wesley, well they've been pining for these two since high school. Told from Kayla's point of view, she, dragging Wesley along hatches a plan to break the happy couple apart. Because as everyone can see Talon is her soulmate while Wesley is Reagan's. Thus starts the funs and the laughs and the musical chairs between the four. Kayla as a character was frustrating initially for me, I have no idea whether its because she was being an evil bestfriend to Reagan or she really was in love with Talon. I could not really hate nor empathize with her at the start. As the story progressed and the romance part began, her sudden self awareness becomes believable. The pace, the tone and style of writing was excellent. I can see that Cassie Mae has developed her own unique voice in the ...

Old letters and a lost comb, a crumbling old home and family secrets; it seems The Emerald Comb is a typical recipe for a modern day English mystery. Just as anyone fond of English mysteries, I was drawn like a moth to a flame. Katie, obsessed with her lineage, spends a lot of time tracing her ancestors, the St. Clairs much to her husband's disdain. When she steps into Kingsley House, the old residence of the St. Clairs, buried secrets of the family starts to unfold and it all becomes even more muddled for Katie. Who was the owner of the emerald comb? Which part of the family history does it come in?
