Head Over Heels (Lucky Harbor Series #3)

Head Over Heels With This Book!

First let me say I am ecstatic to have found a new favorite author. Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis is a fun and steamy contemporary romance. There were so many things I loved about this book! The chemistry is HOT between Chloe, the "wild child" and Sawyer the reformed "bad boy." I love that we really get to know them as a reader and when they finally get together it's explosive! Shalvis' writing is witty and fun. The best way to describe her writing is she writes what others think, but fail to say. Shalvis does a wonderful job character building, as I read it I really felt like I was part of Lucky Harbor. I loved the quotations under each chapter number, the more I read about Chloe the more I thought, "yeah she would say that." My only complaint is I wish there would've been something about Lance in the epilogue. Although he was minor character in the story I really thought he was a great addition. I was rooting for his Happy Ending too, but maybe it was better to leave things the way they were. Overall, I really loved this story and the characters within it were fantastic! I can't wait for the next Lucky Harbor novel. I will be impatiently anticipating her next novel Lucky in Love. June sounds so far away! I highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves a great contemporary romance! The best part about this book is it's part of a series of Lucky Harbor Novels.

Did I find out who I am supposed to be and missed it?

Chloe Traeger was always the sister that moved to her own beat. She had been raised by an eclectic mother that showed her dreams and chased fantasies in life. Chloe tries to fit in with her sisters and the new B&B they are running but it is not an easy task to be assigned. When Sheriff Sawyer Thompson shows an unnerving attraction to her, the only thought Chloe could think of was ¿seriously.¿

While Sawyer and Chloe do a dance of seduction and mystery, the rest of the town is watching and posting pictures on Facebook. Sawyer is not amused as he has gotten over being the reason for trouble in town and wants Chloe to realize she is loved regardless of her antics. Sawyer tries to give Chloe the opportunity to have it all and still have a great time, hopefully with him. Sawyer is efficient on the job and Chloe is helping to expand the family business but in the end will the war of words between them pull them together or tear them apart?

This book hits on all cylinders for me with a fast paced, intense story of love and freedom colliding. There are great characters, secondary characters that are unique and well rounded, and enough drama to keep every mama happy! There were some spots which repeated themselves but did not deter from the story.

This was fun, sexy, and enticing!

Sisters.Chloe is the youngest and the most irresponsible. Of course, she also has the biggest heart and the biggest problem staying still.
Trying to stay out of trouble and keep their joint venture B&B out of the wrong pages of the newspaper is starting to wear on her nerves – well, That and trying to avoid the straight-arrow, by-the-book sheriff who is obviously a dead end for her.
If only she could stop herself.

Another Shalvis Keeper... Loved it

Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis is another hot and sexy read in the Lucky Harbor series.

Chloe Traeger has never been one to put down roots. She has always been on the go and even reuniting with her sisters hasn’t put a stop to her living life on the edge. But spending so much time in Lucky Harbor getting the B&B up and running has her rethinking that the life on the road isn’t all its cracked up to be anymore. Add to that mix is her being drawn to the by the books sheriff in town, Sawyer Thompson.

Sheriff Sawyer Thompson has kept his eyes on wild child Chloe Traeger since she blew into town months ago. Sawyer has had to grow up quickly with a these then stellar parent and Chloe makes him rethink his straight arrow way of life. Keeping Chloe out of trouble has become a fulltime job for Sawyer but its one that he doesn’t might spending his time watching over her.

Chloe and Sawyer are true opposites that send sparks flying when ever they are together. They both are fine on their own but its something extra special when they quit fighting their feelings and give their relationship the green light. This series has been an absolute treat, it great to revisit past characters each new book. Looking forward to more books in this delightful series.

exc series

Head Over Heels by Jill Shalvis
Love the quotes in the recipe box that their mom had started in previous book and the girls have kept up in each of their books.
Chloe, the wild one, is always up to something. She's involved with Lance who has CF and lives on the edge. The local sheriff always seems to be right there when she gets home. He's not yet arrested her as he doesn't want to bring bad attention to the B&B her
sisters are running. Her sisters are almost married to his best friend and his brother.
A neighbor wants to fight pit bull vs pit bull and have wagers. She and Lance say it's not right to make dogs harm themselves to death so they crossed the wire fence to let dogs out.
She got cut up really bad and ended up having to go to the ER to get fixed up.
Find it very interesting to learn of the different natural products you can mix to help with spa treatment areas: frizzy hair, dry skin, etc Terror strikes when she gets anonymous heavy breather phone calls.
She tries to win over her sisters by talking about how she'd turn one room of the inn into a spa, this way she'd NOT have to leave to do her treatments at hotels.
I like Chloe's iphone app the magic 8 ball where you ask it a yes or no question. They all
have fun with it.
She's been spending a lot of time with Sawyer, helping paint his house, bringing him lunch, etc.
Drug deals, runaway bride, kidnapping, revenge and mud springs all lead us to the finale.
What a really nice treat at the end.

You don't want to miss this one

Jill Shalvis has done it again!!!

In Simply Irresistible, the first book in this series, we were introduced to Chloe. She was the youngest of the three sisters and extremely free spirited. She enjoys life to it's fullest and rubs the town's Sheriff the wrong way. This continues in The Sweetest Thing, book 2, but we notice that she is starting to settle down some. In HEAD OVER HEELS, we finally get to hear her story.

Chloe is still very free spirited but we learn that she is a bit lost. She has severe asthma and isn't able to do most things but that doesn't stop her from enjoying life. Until the town's ruggedly sexy and extremely stern Sheriff steps in to tame her wild ways.

I absolutely loved this story. Chloe is sweet and kind yet wild and free. Sawyer is quiet, confident, and extremely kind. And did I mention hot? Wooohooo he is one sexy man. They both have a past that they are trying to overcome and they find comfort in each other. The smexin is hot and sexy and extremely sweet. There is a scene, once Sawyer learns to deal with her asthma, that had my tearing up because he was so thoughtful and caring. The chemistry between the characters burns up the pages and the banter between the two will have you chuckling the whole way through. This story was very well rounded and had all the characteristics of a must read story. I recommend you start at the beginning of the series to get the full effect of the book.

Loved Chloe & Sawyer

My Review:

Ever since we met Chloe with her debilitating asthma and her contentious relationship with the town sheriff, Sawyer, I have been excited about their story. I just knew that it was going to be wonderful and I was so right! This was a WONDERFUL book! This book epitomizes everything that I love about contemporary romance.


The heroine, Chloe, is feisty, although she has had obstacles growing up that would weaken a lesser character. The hero, Sawyer, is pure alpha, but still maintains his wonderful emotion and compassion. There is a great back-story for both these characters, both in their childhood, but also in the history of their relationship which has definitely been rocky from the start. Chloe doesn't think twice about skirting the edge of the law if she thinks it will right a wrong. That is definitely NOT something that Sawyer likes about her especially since he seems to be catching her at one illegal activity or other all in the name of the greater good. The issue though is that he can't seem to help but admire her gumption and stubbornness even in the face of what could be a life threatening illness for her.


Through it all, there are several back and sub-stories which were equally intriguing...Sawyer working with the DEA and his conflict over the issues with his childhood accomplice, Todd. Sawyer is also dealing with his elderly and ill father. Their's has never been an easy relationship, but it was wonderful to see that change a bit in this book. Chloe is still trying to find her place with her two sisters and their B&B business, so she is working at building a new day spa. Chloe's best friend is Lance and he is dying from cystic fibrosis. His story is so heart-wrenching especially watching it from Chloe's point of view. There are really some wonderful story lines in this awesome book!


I have honestly loved every book in this series and this was the perfect final book about these awesome three sisters. I have heard, and am so excited about the fact, that there are going to be three more Lucky Harbor books next year. Yippee!!! I love me some Jill Shalvis reading and with the glimpses that we saw of Cute Guy in this one, they definitely promise to be some more MUST-READ books!

Heartwarming, funny, and sexy

Head Over Heels is the third novel in the Lucky Harbor series, which feature the sassy and funny half-sisters Tara, Maddie, and Chloe. The three of them run a B&B in the quaint town of Lucky Harbor. This time around, it is Chloe's turn to try to find love and to see if Sawyer is "inhaler worthy," since she is very asthmatic. Chloe is the wild child of the family because of her upbringing, and she has a hard time showing her emotions and letting people get close to her. Sawyer, the sheriff of Lucky Harbor, has also had a troubled past and has his own barriers to loving someone. Chloe and Sawyer are opposites, but they cannot deny the attraction to each other any longer.

This is the first Lucky Harbor novel I have read. However, I quickly came to like the characters. Not only Chloe, but the other two sisters and the other residents of the town. The three sisters are written in such a way that you just want to be best friends with them. Each chapter starts off with a quote from Chloe, which makes you feel like you are getting to know her even more. Jill Shalvis has portrayed the characters and their emotions perfectly. Heartwarming, funny and sexy all at the same time. It will keep you turning the page to follow along with Chloe and Sawyer.

The next time I am in the mood for a contemporary romance novel, I will be looking for the rest of the Lucky Harbor series.

Love the chemistry between Sawyer and Chloe. This series is wond

Love the chemistry between Sawyer and Chloe. This series is wonderful, I don't miss anything by Jill Shalvis!

I've seen a few Jill Shalvis books on the shelves at the booksto

I've seen a few Jill Shalvis books on the shelves at the bookstore and thought they looked sweet, but never picked one up. When I found this on NetGalley and read the synopsis I figured, what the hey. I'll give it a try. I'm glad I did!! HEAD OVER HEELS is the third book in the Lucky Harbor series, and while I haven't read the other two it was okay. This book is about Chloe and Sawyer. Her sisters (the main characters of the first two books) are mentioned, but not a vital part of the story. So go ahead, pick this one up even if you haven't read the others.

Chloe is a great character. She's impulsive, fun, and uninhibited. Pretty much everything she's done lately gets the attention of the local sheriff. From the beginning these two bicker like kids, but that whole saying "if the boy picks on you it means he likes you" pretty much applies to them. Because of her wild side, Chloe is trying to prove to her sisters that she can grow up. When she could give up and be the woman they think she is she stands strong and becomes the woman she wants to be. I loved the transition and growth she shows throughout the book.

Sawyer is the EXACT opposite of Chloe. Which works because in a way I felt like he wanted to be a little less reserved. Chloe makes this possible for him. While he's saving the town, she's making more work for him. There is a wonderful back and forth between these two characters. From the beginning we see how caring and protective Sawyer can be, so when he gets frustrated with Chloe it only adds to the goodness of this book.

HEAD OVER HEELS is exactly what I expect a contemporary romance to be. There's romance - of course- but there's some humor, real life situations, and a not-so-perfect world. Contemporary lovers must give Jill Shalvis a try the next time you see one of her books on the bookshelf.

Love the series.

Just when you thought things could get any funny or steamier Jill suprises you with book. ANOTHER MUST REAF!!

Great!

Loved this one.
