Simply Irresistible is Maddie’s (the middle sister) story. If you haven’t yet read the Lucky Harbor series, I urge you to do it! Basically it tells the story of three half-sisters who after the death of their hippy mom get together in the small town of Lucky Harbor (where they haven’t been since their childhood) to decide what to do with their mom’s run-down inn and their lives. It is heartwarming, cute, funny and sexy.

Then being the Christmas-aholic that I am I requested the Christmas in Lucky Harbor book at NetGalley I was happy to discover it was actually a reissue of Book #1 and #2 of the Lucky Harbor series, nothing better than to start the series at the beginning and I can’t understand why I waited so long to read it! It sounded like a nice story and I put it on my to-read-one-day-when-I-get-the-time list and mostly forgot about it. My Thoughts: I first heard of Simply Irresistible when it came out, it was all over the book blogs with its unique white cover. Even harder will be Maddie’s struggles to overcome the past, though she’s about to discover that there’s no better place to call home than Lucky Harbor. The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she’s sworn off men. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too. 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. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington. But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A.

In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). Maddie Moore’s whole life needs a makeover. Simply Irresistible – Book #1 in the Lucky Harbor series Christmas in Lucky Harbor is a 2-in-1 reissue of Simply Irresistible and The Sweetest Thing by Jill Shalvis, this review is only of the 1st story: Simply Irresistible
