This is the 6th book in the Lucky Harbor series. Although a series you do not have to read them in sequence, but who wouldn’t want to read the series? This one starts with Dr. Josh Scott who was in the previous books as Matt’s friend. So we meet Grace again and she is a mess. Looking for work, doing all kinds of odd jobs and hoping to get back to the executive banking world. She needs to go out on her own jourmey and not let her super smart and successful adoptive parents image of what her life should be like affect her. Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over, but the turn of events got her in Lucky Harbor. She is running deliveries for the florist and taking temp jobs when Dr. Scott calls her for a job. He says he saw her flyer and wants her as a dog walker. The day his nanny fails to show up, for his son Toby so Grace goes from caring for Josh’s lovable pug named Tank to caring for his son Toby who is 5.
The heat between Grace and Josh was so strong! They go through so many issues with Anna, Josh’s sister who is paralyzed in both legs from an accident that took his parents life. I thought that Mrs Shalvis did a great job showing the stages of grief that Anna goes through to overcome the loss of her legs and forever being in a wheelchair. Anna gets into it with Grace and they come to love each because Grace tell her things like it is. She told her to go to college to play wheelchair soccer and that the wheelchair can’t stop her from acheiving greatness.
I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it
definite 5 out of 5

But it didn’t, and wow, those stumpy legs could really move. It snorted with sheer delight as it made its mad getaway, and Grace was forced to rethink the pig theory. Also, the sex mystery was solved. From behind, she’d caught a glimpse of dangly bits.

“You take the allergies,” he said. “I’ll get the other two.” “Three. You’ve got thirteen-year-old Ben Seaver in four. He stuck his ding-dong into the Jacuzzi vent.” “Christ,” Josh muttered. “Again?” “Here.” Dee handed him her coffee. “You probably need it more than I do.”

Chocolate is better than sex. It can’t make you pregnant, and it’s always good.

The morning went so smoothly that Josh got an actual lunch break. He met Ty and Matt at the Love Shack, Lucky Harbor’s bar and grill. They’d beaten him there and were seated at a table hunched over Cosmo magazine. “It was on the table when I got here,” Matt said in his defense. Josh eyed the open magazine. “You don’t already know how to satisfy your boyfriends in bed?” Matt ignored this. “Did either of you know there’s ninety-nine ways to give a blow job? That’s ninety-nine nights of blow jobs.” “Look at you with the math skills,” Josh said. Matt flipped him off while Ty flipped the page. “‘How to Give Your Hoo-Ha a Spa Day.’ Huh,” he said. “I didn’t know a woman’s hoo-ha needed a spa day.”
