Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the local good girl, she's expected to date Mr. Right. But for once, she'd like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he's gone....
For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn't, including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all...anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.

I love books! Audiobooks take stories to the next level. I'm obsessed with Audible and will try to rate all of my books. Happy Listening! ;)
"Lucky me that I got this book!"
I have about 100 audiobooks and most of them are romance stories. This one has now become my number one favorite romance audiobook. It made me smile, it made me cry, it made me feel butterflies... WOW! I loved every second. The story is very romantic and both of the main characters are nice. The narrator did a very good job too. This book is a must listen for anyone who enjoys a feel good hot romance story.
"Favorite in this series so far!"
Probably one of my favorites!
I loved Mallory and Ty.
The Narrator did a great job with all the charaters. Don't switch Narrators. she is perfect,
I know you can only put so many charaters in a book but it would have been nice to revisit all the charaters from the past books! But I LOVE this series!
"Didn't like narrator"
Because of the poor narration it was very difficult to tell one character from another.
"Great Story"
I loved the story and how it it connected to other books I have listened to.
The story line was sweet.
When they were talking, deciding whether or not they loved each other.
yes
"Love this series."
Love Jill Shalvis books. I like this narrator much better than Ms. Bennett. Can't wait for the next installments.
"Creative, relaxing story.Yes"
Yes. It was very entertaining.
Yes. It was very entertaining.

Avid reader and now listener . . .
"Fall in love with Lucky Harbor"
Very, very high. Lucky in Love was the first I heard of the six-part series highly recommended by Eloisa James on her B&N blog. This book is fourth one, and, without having heard or read the preceding Lucky Harbor stories, I fell immediately into the story, characters, location, and absolutely loved the narrator Suehyla El Attar's voice. Appreciated her ability to pause at just the right moment, letting the moment hang or the mad dialogue rush of an embarrassed female. The other five novels [Book 1 Simply Irresistible, Book 2 The Sweetest Thing, Book 3 Head over Heels, Book 5 At Last, Book 6 Forever and a Day] are well worth the time, although I didn't like the narrator for Books 1 and 2, and that really ruined the stories for me. El Attar (Books 3 and 4) and Erin Bennett (Books 5 and 6) read Shalvis much more fluently.
Mallory is hard to beat - and what woman can't relate to a character who is constantly giving of herself, her time, her affection, and rarely receives the same in return?
Ty Garrison, without a doubt. El Attar's dry, terse interpretation, similar to how she read Sheriff Sawyer Thompson the third of the Lucky Harbor series, was wonderful. The huskier male tones did not sound deliberately forced and actually sounded legitimate.
Second would be how El Attar read the perpetually flustered and harrassed Mallory.
I'd be remiss in not mentioning Mallory's mom with what I'd consider a Minnesotan accent (and I blame/thank Prarie Home Companion).
Several laugh-out-loud moments :-) Jill Shalvis writes great contemporary romances with dialogue that zings, snaps, and sounds completely plausible in today's society.
I would buy Books 3 - 6; save a credit or two for Books 1 - 2. Again, not because of the story but because of the narrator's interpretation.
"Light sweet reading"
Likeable story and characters. Pleasant but wasn't as intriguing as I expected..
Yes, maybe it was light and enjoyable...not all books the same. She has a good writing style...
Her. Pice changes and intoneations..
Love is a mystery
