Sincerely ONE IN A MILLION by Jill Shalvis should come
with a warning -- definitely addictive -- do not expect to
put this one down. ONE IN A MILLION is filled with
humor, heart breaking reality checks, enviable
friendships and small town charm. It's difficult to be
private in a small town and yet Jill Shalvis creates the
most amazing town dynamics complete with eclectic
citizens who seep into your heart and soul, flaws and
all. Sit back and prepare to be entertained by the best.
ONE IN A MILLION is truly a visual experience.
Callie Sharpe created an intriguing career that suited
her to perfection. Imagine planning weddings via Skype
where all your clients actually saw of you is the top
half. So what if you work in yoga pants and slippers.
Priceless. Callie was an important presence in her
bride's lives through her laptop. She formed
relationships with these women -- clients -- but they knew
they were so much more to Callie.
Callie was a true romantic and followed her own dreams
via TyingTheKnot.com -- her creation. Now back at home Callie was on a mission to discern the
mental health of her quirky grandma Lucille. Always on
the fringe Lucille just wasn't willing to act her age.
She was simply larger than life -- a lovable trial you
might say.
Somehow Callie caught the eye of a man who had definitely
been the source of dreams for a brainy albeit awkward
teenager. Tanner was way out of her league then and now
but that didn't stop her from looking. Callie felt
invisible for most of her teen years. But Tanner was
noticing and enjoying his random moments with this
awkwardly sexy strawberry blonde that candidly made him
smile. A bright spot in his day.
Tanner had lots of personal baggage that threatened to
curtain any chance of a future relationship. To Tanner
Callie represented joy and happiness and love that seemed
just beyond his reach.
Callie and Tanner were like two magnets that couldn't
help the mutual attraction but were gun shy.
And that's where the fun begins.
Once again Jill Shalvis developed a fabulous vehicle to
her quick sassy dialog in ONE IN A MILLION. Page after
page you are drawn into a story that reaches deep into
your heart. Image has so much to do with our lives and
dreams -- living up to -- or down to your image is a hard
task. Shalvis shows us how to do just that with her
special gift of gab. Just got to adore her. Dare I admit
ONE IN A MILLION may be the best one yet -- a lofty idea
for sure. Shalvis fans are absolutely going to fall madly
in love with ONE IN A MILLION. FYI ONE IN A MILLION is
the final book in the Lucky Harbor series.
SUMMARY
As the brains behind wedding site TyingTheKnot.com,
Callie
sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles . . .
to
the tears. It's that last part that keeps her single and
not
looking. Getting left at the altar will do that to a
girl.
But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds
that
her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. And he
makes it hard to remember why she's sworn off love . . . Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie
past-and now his teenage son is back in his life. How can
Tanner be a role model when he's still paying for his own
mistakes? It's hard enough that gorgeous Callie has
appeared
in town like a beautiful dream, challenging his best-laid
plans to keep his heart on lockdown. Though there's
something about being around her again that makes him
feel
like he can be the man she-and his son-deserve. Little
Lucky
Harbor holds their past; can it hold a beautiful new
future?
