But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Starting over won&#8217;t be easy. 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. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she&#8217;s sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie&#8217;s struggles to overcome the past, though she&#8217;s about to discover that there&#8217;s no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #1c2936;\">~*~*~<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2458\" title=\"InMyWords\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/InMyWords.png?resize=220%2C40\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"40\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are a <strong><em>Jennifer Crusie<\/em><\/strong> fan and you haven&#8217;t discovered <strong><em>Jill Shalvis<\/em><\/strong>, I&#8217;m here to tell you: buy this book immediately. All the things I&#8217;ve come to love about <strong><em>Jennifer Crusie<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simply Irresistible<\/strong> is the story of a lovable woman with a difficult past. Especially her recent past. She shows up in a small town in Washington fresh out of an abusive relationship and ready to be done with men for a while. But of course, she meets the man of her dreams instead, and the push-pull of their relationship is both frustrating and wonderful. I will say, I thought more than once, what is wrong with you people? But I was so invested in the characters, there was no way I was putting this book down.<\/p>\n<p>Jax Cullen is h-o-t, hot. As a hero, he&#8217;s not only physically perfect (of course, because that&#8217;s the fantasy), but he is such a guy. Honestly, I was amazed at how real her male characters are. There are three brothers in the Cullen family (hello, sequels? please!), and when two or three of them got to talking, I really felt like I was in the middle of a circle of my best guy friends. They are expertly written. But not so real that they&#8217;re not also part fantasy, which is why I read romance novels instead of military thrillers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Jill Shalvis<\/em><\/strong> walks that line between fantasy and reality perfectly. Her settings, characters, and plot lines are believable. Her characters feel real, speak like my friends, and have depth of emotion that draws you in. But at the same time, it&#8217;s not real. None of us will ever have the kind of access into a man&#8217;s mind that we&#8217;re provided in the pages of the romance novel, but when we get to see what Jax Cullen is thinking when he looks at Maddie Moore, the fantasy is complete. He&#8217;s completely hot for her. As he says several times, &#8220;he&#8217;s a goner&#8221; for Maddie. And it&#8217;s intoxicating.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, readers who enjoy a quirky, witty, sexy contemporary will enjoy this book. They might want to throttle a character once in awhile, but that&#8217;s part of what makes for good reading. You want Jax and Maddie to be together, and you want it to happen *now*, but you&#8217;re willing to wait, just like Jax Cullen, for when the time is right. And when that happens, it&#8217;s pure, unadulterated magic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>8.5 (Very, Very Good) <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <span style=\"color: #003300;\">3\u00a0 (Sensual)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[starrater tpl=10 style=&#8217;christmas&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewed by: Camryn<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Comment to enter to win a copy of your own!<\/strong><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-5016\" data-postid=\"5016\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-5016 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply Irresistible Author: Jill Shalvis Publisher: Grand Central Pub.
