Grace Brooks is enjoying her life in Lucky Harbor. She was stranded there on her way from New York to Seattle for a banking job that fell through. But this small town is starting to feel like home in spite of the fact that she knows it's only until she finds a real job. She's made friends and has money coming in from odd jobs, the most unexpected of which is walking the out of control dog that belongs to Dr. Josh Scott and his young son.
Josh is barely keeping it together. He's juggling shifts at the ER, managing the medical practice he inherited from his father, caring for his son and the wild rebellious sister who was paralyzed in the accident that killed his parents, and don't forget the dog in need of some serious obedience training. What Grace lacks in dog walking skills she makes up for in commitment, and well, she's smart, available, not to mention beautiful. When Josh finds himself in need of a nanny, he turns to Grace. Soon they are playing house, in more ways than one. Can Grace find long lasting happiness in a small town?
FOREVER AND A DAY will more than satisfy fans of the Lucky Harbor series. The sixth book in the series brings back familiar characters and gives us Grace's happily-ever-after. I enjoyed Josh and Grace's story. They have a nice chemistry and they challenge each other to make the hard decisions about what is really important. Josh's sister added a nice burst of energy to the story and created some strong tension with the other characters. I hope we won't have too long to wait until our next visit to Lucky Harbor.
LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT
Grace never thought she'd be starting her life over from
scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor,
working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh
Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes
from caring for Josh's lovable mutt to caring for his
rambunctious son. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy
single dad . . .
With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for
anything outside of his clinic and family-until Grace
arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life
inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase
"good bedside manner." Josh and Grace don't know if what
they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a
lifetime of love starts with just one day . . .
By noon, Josh wasn't even halfway through his day, and he'd already been overloaded, overworked, and quite possibly teetering on the edge of burnout. He could feel it creeping in on him in unguarded moments, like now when he was parking his car between his house and the beach to deal with Grace Brooks.
He knew who she was. He'd seen her around. Blue eyes, a quick smile, long, shiny blonde hair, and a willowy yet curvy body that could drive a man right out of his mind if he gave it too much thought.
As he walked across the sand towards the water, doing his best not to give it any thought, he caught sight of her in the water. She was facing the waves, her hands on her head in a distraught pose. With a frown, he picked up the pace, just as something dashed towards him in his peripheral vision.
Something small.
Something evil.
Something named Tank. Josh scooped up the sand-covered puppy and held it away from him. The pug wriggled intently, running in air, trying to get closer to Josh. Finally giving up, Tank refocused his attention on the woman in the ocean.
"Oh, I see her," Josh said. "And what the hell have you done now?"
