Wow I love Jill Shalvis! She has converted me into a true fan of contemporary romance and I definitely can't wait to read more from her. I definitely will be picking up her back-list and giving them a read. I just love her voice and the world she has created with her Lucky Harbor series. She has created a world that I am truly invested in and I care about everyone and everything.
Ms. Shalvis just has a way of making you not want to stop reading until you've hit the final page. Once I started this book I just couldn't put it down. I loved the chemistry between Josh and Grace. I was rooting for them and was so happy with the way things turned out. Not only were these two smoking hot together, but the feeling between them felt real. Their relationship didn't feel rushed or fake. I could feel the emotions between the both of them as if I were experiencing it myself.
Josh has his hands full with taking care of his rambunctious five year old son his his angry at the world wheelchair bound sister Anna. On top of his stressful home life he works as a doctor in Lucky Harbor averaging 80+ hours a week. To say his life is hectic is putting it mildly. When yet another nanny quits without giving notice he turns to Grace for her help and assistance.
Grace is new to Lucky Harbor and has no plans of staying permanently. She's just biding her time until she gets a good job in Seattle of Portland. In the meantime to make ends meet she does a little bit of everything around town. From modeling, delivery girl and now a dog walker for the towns hottest doc. When Josh propositions her to become his nanny for a week with the pay of $1000 she knows she would be a fool to turn it down. But what starts out as a week long gig soon turns into so much more.
Grace can't help but grow attached to Josh and his quirky family. The more time she spends with them the more they grow on her and she soon realizes that maybe she doesn't want some big banker job. She is truly happy right now, happier than she's been in a really long time and what's more, she feels as if she's home. It also doesn't hurt that her and Doc Mchottie can't keep their hands off of one another.
I loved this book. I can't say it enough. I finished this book within hours of starting it and I haven't been able to get it out of my head ever since I finished and this was at least a month ago! I just can't wait to get my hands on more from Ms. Shalvis.

Yet another fun loving quick read by Shalvis. I just can't put her books down! I always try to pick one favorite book in a series...but Jill Shalvis makes it very difficult to do that! I have enjoyed each book in the Lucky Harbor series and they just keep getting better and better. Looking forward to the next Lucky Harbor book.
Another winner from Jill Shalvis! Grace and Josh finish up the Chocoholic trilogy. A high powered accountant turned jill of all trades becomes sexy doctor's dog walker and babysitter. Sweet interaction, quirky townspeople and good story. 4 stars!
This is one of the better ones in the series. I loved the interactions between the characters, not just Josh and Grace. The dynamics between the friends, family, townspeople were so much fun.
Great, quick read. Yes, it's predictable but I liked seeing how the story enfolded.

This is the third an the series (Bk6 overall)that features Amy, Mallory and Grace.
This is Grace's story and it's a winner. More interesting focal characters than in the other two books, and somehow the story has a smoother, more realistic flow. I really enjoyed the side stories as well.

My favorite book in this series!!!
Loved it!
So, I enjoyed this. Nice read. But, there were enough things that irked me to decide to not give this a 4. This one finishes the series arc with the friends Mallory, Amy, and Grace. This is an enjoyable town and the secondary characters bring humor. One positive of this series, is each book stands alone on it's own. You don't have to read in order. My anal retention self has too, but that is me. Haha.
I thought Josh was too much of a workaholic; to the determent of family life. That changes (I think I'd have thrown the book across the room if not). Grace was very caring, but clueless (about her life and what she wants) and clumsy (I lost trip of how much she tripped/stumbled- or almost did). So I was easily frustrated with her. I did like her interactions with Anna. She knew how to talk/handle her.
A quote that I loved:
"I love how you've both figured out what was missing in your lives and went out and got it for yourselves."
"You know what was missing wasn't a man, right?" Amy asked."
And one I didn't:
"I think you have a case of being a little girl." (stop being a wuss) I HATE that phrase because whether it's in print or verbally said, it's meant as an insult. I wish that *female* authors would stop using that phrase. We were all little girls at one time.
