Publisher's summary

Her love has come along....

Amy Michaels loves her new life in Lucky Harbor. A waitress in the local diner, she's looking forward to her first weekend hike through the mountains. But when a wrong turn takes her off the trail, she finds herself up close and personal with forest ranger Matt Bowers. And even though she's tempted to kiss that sexy smile right off his face, she won't make the mistake of getting involved with the town heartthrob. A former cop whose life went south, Matt doesn't let anyone get too close.

But something about the feisty beauty caught his eye the moment he first saw her in the diner. After a hot night under a starry sky, Matt can't deny their attraction - or the fact that for the first time in a long time, he feels the stirrings of something more. Now it's up to Matt to help Amy see that, no matter what is in their past, together they can build a future in Lucky Harbor.

Story OK, narrator not

This is another case where I'm not sure if they story was bad or the narrator just made a good story bad. I've had good books that a bad narrator killed, this may be one of them. The chemistry between Amy and Matt wasn't that great and I got to the point where I didn't care and wanted it just to be over. Save your Audible credit and read this one.

Good story, horrible narrator!

I am really mad at the producers of this audiobook. The previous book Lucky in Love had me in a cloud of pure bliss for the few days I was listening to it. The story was amazing and the narrator Suehyla El Attar was perfect. So obviously I immediately got this title with the hope of extending my cloud of bliss for a few more days. As soon as I started listening, the rain started and I was left feeling like a wet dog in a storm.

Why did the producers changed the narrator? Why? Erin Bennett used the exact same voice for all the characters. She also sounded too old to interpret Amy's character and she showed zero emotion. She was more of a reader rather than a narrator. Worst narrator. EVER!!! Hachette Audio will cause irreparable injury to me if they use Erin Bennett as the narrator of the next book of this series. >\

I must clarify that Jill Shalvis is a great author and the story is pretty good. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it much more if I had read this book or if it was narrated by the previous narrator Ms. El Attar.

Good Story

Nice, enjoyable story--wasn't too mushy. While it was a romance novel, it still had something to it. But I do wonder why everyone always blames themselves in this type book, but they surely don't in real life--maybe we should be more humble.

No matter, I enjoyed the story--narrator was so wrong for this story. She messed Lucille (the older lady in the book) up so much and she wasn't the main character. And the beginning of each chapter when she gave the chocolate note--so wrong. Like so many others, I question why they changed narrators. I am hesitant to listen to the next installment because EB narrates that one as well. But I guess my sense of wanting to know how Grace and Josh end up will probably win out and I will purchase it.

Hope Ms. Shalvis writes more about the folks in Lucky Harbor.

Love this series.

Where does At Last rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've enjoyed this entire series. I do prefer the other narrator however. Looking forward to the next three in the series.

Don't like these books read to me.

Would you try another book from Jill Shalvis and/or Erin Bennett?

I love this author, and I find her stories entertaining and fun to read. Unfortunately, I do not like it on Audible. The narrator is monotone and boring and that's not how the books should be read.

What was one of the most memorable moments of At Last?

Don't know, I couldn't get past the first 10 pages of listening. I'll buy it for my Kindle.

What does Erin Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If she's the narrator, absolutely nothing. It was awful and she put absolutely no emotion into the characters.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from At Last?

Didn't get that far.

Any additional comments?

This has made me seriously rethink buying any more books on Audible.

Missed Opportunity to shed light on some social injustices

I’m a Social Worker so take this with a grain of salt, but I am sad at the missed opportunity to shed some light on the gap between youth services and when kids in the system age out. I was surprised that there was no mention of trying to connect the homeless youth to the towns brand new youth center. And who thinks a job busing tables is going to pay enough to live on?

I liked the female lead very much. I love a strong, independent woman. I liked the male lead as well. The narrators were great.

I wish there was more interaction between the first three couples in the series.

Good story - speed up narration

This is a good romantic book and I liked how it builds on the first one of this chocoholics group. I would recommend speeding the narration a teeny bit. Unfortunately narrator does not really differentiate between men’s and women’s voices which is tough. But overall a decent read.

Loved the story, not the narrator

I loved the story between Matt and Amy but the narration could have used some work. It felt like there was no distinction between the characters. Perhaps it was the change in narrators as I kept going back to previous narrations and comparing them.

It was Okay-Not My Favorite

Not my favorite. I love the Lucky Harbor series but it stands to reason at some point I wouldn't like one. So far this is it. What I found after reading several of this series is that the author tends to use the same phrases over and over again. Such as: eyes the color of melted chocolate, ground his back teeth to powder, been there, done that bought the t-shirt and the list goes on. The sex scenes tend to be almost interchangeable among all of the books. A little variety would be nice.

My main objection to this book is not the graphic sex, but the haphazard casual way that the protagonists view sex. We have a “tough girl” and a man who by all accounts of Lucky Harbor residents is a great guy, kind, decent and all that. Amy and Matt decide to fall into a sexual encounter just for the release—no strings attached. Matt has watched Amy for some time and developed an interest in her. So this “decent” guy who has an interest in Amy uses her like this? I might be an army of one, but in my world that does not indicate respect or even a gentle fondness. At one point they have sex in the woods after Matt's shoulder is dislocated, then painfully put back into place. Really?

The entire story bothered me, the sport sex, Amy's hard attitude, the insistence by all that Matt was this decent upstanding guy yet he was willing to use this woman for sex---in the woods, in a car, on the top of his desk at the ranger station. Not my idea of a decent man---but that is just my opinion.

Will I read other Lucky Harbor stories? Absolutely. I have throughly enjoyed many of this series and will keep going.
