IT'S IN HIS KISS is Book eleven in Jill Shalvis' Lucky
Harbor series. As with previous books in this series,
the
characters drive the story. Becca Thorpe and Sam Brody are
both very complex characters with emotional issues that
they need to sort out. If you like imperfect characters
mixed with a whole lot of sexiness, then IT'S IN HISS KISS
is the book for you.
The romance that develops between Sam and Becca is all at
once sweet, sexy, and frustrating. It's clear to everyone
how much they like and are attracted to each other.
However, it's also clear that they both have boundaries and
subjects that they refuse to discuss. This is what stops
them from total intimacy. It's interesting to watch the
journey they both take to getting to that point. I liked
the side story of Becca's involvement with the music
classes and her struggle with performing in public.
The supporting characters in IT'S IN HIS KISS really shine.
I love Tanner and Cole -- Sam's friends and business
partners. The scene in which Cole broke down for Sam
exactly why they were like brothers was very moving. I look
forward to their books in the future. Olivia added a nice
bit of interest to the story, and she helped draw Becca out
a little more. I wasn't a fan of Sam's father, Mark, but
the storyline involving him added more depth to Sam's
character and helped define him.
There are some heavy and dramatic moments in IT'S IN HIS
KISS mixed in with the sexiness and the fun. I think it's
that mix that makes for a richer story. The town of Lucky
Harbor feels, in many ways, like another character. The
sense of community, in all its wackiness at times, and the
way residents support each other make the stories in this
series more of an enjoyable experience.
IT'S IN HIS KISS is another character-driven, sexy romance
by Jill Shalvis. I look forward to the next installment in
the Lucky Harbor series.
Becca Thorpe has uprooted her life
and escaped to the beach. Now's her chance to get away from
city living, throw caution to the ocean winds, and live in
the moment. Especially if the moment includes the
deliciously sexy surfer she meets shortly after arriving in
Lucky Harbor. Something about the dark intensity of Sam's
eyes and the thrill she gets at his touch convinces her to
stay awhile.
Boatbuilder and investment genius Sam Brody is
a self-made man who knows how dangerous it can be to mix
business and pleasure. But he can't resist offering Becca a
job just to hear her laugh and have her near. Yet when her
brother comes to town asking for help, will he tempt her
back to her glamorous life in the city? Or do Sam and little
Lucky Harbor have a chance to win Becca's heart?
