Description: When Olive Porter’s off-the-grid parents go missing, she reluctantly seeks out Noah Turner, her ex and the only person she both trusts implicitly and not at all.
As a special investigative agent for the National Park Service, Noah’s used to living under intense pressure. Or he was until he got injured on the job. Now unhappily recuperating at home while being smothered by his loving but nosy family, he’d love nothing more than a good distraction.
So when Olive shows up looking like a million bucks, he has to do a gut and heart check. Because nope, no matter what, he can’t fall for her again, the woman who once blew up his entire life and never looked back. How ironic then that his own personal hell (Olive) is also his ticket out of town. The question is, will the risk be worth the reward?
Genre: Romance - Contemporary
Why I Picked This Book: I really enjoy this author's books so I always try and pick up the newest ones.
My Impression: I really like Jill Shalvis's books and I especially love how she creates friendships. This book is a perfect example as the relationship between Olive and Katie is really wonderful despite their differences and some past issues. Olive's relationship with her grandmother is also really sweet - especially since they are very much alike. Olive's relationship with Noah however is not quite so smooth.
It took me a bit to really connect to Olive and Noah's relationship. I liked them both and was enjoying the book but I wasn't really rooting for their relationship. I wish I had understood a bit more about the past confrontation earlier in the story.
I did enjoy the mix of character growth, mystery investigation, and romance in this book. As I expect from a Jill Shalvis, this was a fast paced fun read that tackled some deeper issues. I really liked Olive and Katie from the start even though I wish there was a bit more communication. I'm looking forward to reading more books from Shalvis in the future.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Absolutely! I always enjoy any time spent with a Jill Shalvis book!
