Simply Irresistible is the first book in the Lucky Harbor series. I've read the entire series, but decided to reread and collect paperback versions when it got closer to Christmas, as the first two are holiday romances.

Simply Irresistible is about three very different women who find themselves back in the town their mother fell in love with and lived out the rest of her life, Lucky Harbor. They each have different fathers, and but in a lot of ways, resembled their hippie mother. Maddie "the Mouse" is Phoebe's middle child, and the child who spent the less amount of time with their mother. When she comes to Lucky Harbor to claim her inheritance with her other siblings, she's the only one who wants to stay and make the best of the shambling inn.

What I heart about Simply Irresistible

Maddie is an easy main character to connect with, because a lot of readers can see a small part of themselves in her. She breaks off an abusive relationship with her lawyer boyfriend, and decides to give her life a makeover, starting with her pushover attitude.
Lucky Harbor is a small town we'd all love to visit! It has unique characters, faithful friends, and a few hotties to make life more enjoyable!
Shalvis reads like a Macomber romance novel, but it's steamy like Foster, and has her own unique flair that makes me want to visit Lucky Harbor over and over!

This was a thrilling read that many readers would come to love if they gave it a chance!
