Description
Maddie Moore's whole life needs a makeover.
In one fell swoop, Maddie loses her boyfriend (her decision) and her job (so not her decision). But rather than drowning her sorrows in bags of potato chips, Maddie leaves L.A. to claim the inheritance left by her free-spirited mother-a ramshackle inn nestled in the little coastal town of Lucky Harbor, Washington.
Starting over won't be easy. Yet Maddie sees the potential for a new home and a new career-if only she can convince her two half-sisters to join her in the adventure. But convincing Tara and Chloe will be difficult because the inn needs a big makeover too.
The contractor Maddie hires is a tall, dark-haired hottie whose eyes-and mouth-are making it hard for her to remember that she's sworn off men. Even harder will be Maddie's struggles to overcome the past, though she's about to discover that there's no better place to call home thanLucky Harbor .

1. Jill
is more afraid of spiders than the bears that she runs into on her daily
mountain hikes.
2. If
Jill couldn't be a writer, she'd want to be a rock star. Only problem—she can't
hold a tune to save her life.
3. Jill
would take a box of cookies over just about any other food. Mother's Double
Fudge, if she had a choice, but she's not picky.
4. While
writing Simply Irresistible (Oct '10), the first Lucky Harbor
book, she knitted her own crooked boyfriend scarf just like the heroine in the
book. However, the dog ate it. You don't want to know what happened to it after
that.
5. For
more information on Jill, check out her website at jillshalvis.com,
including her daily blog chronicling her I-Love-Lucy life.
Maddie has
decided to leave her job and boyfriend behind and start a new life. With the
recent passing of her mother, this has become a little bit easier. Her mother
has left her Inn to her and her sisters.
Starting over won't be easy, however Maddie sees this as a potential to a new
career and home if only she can convince her two sisters who also now own a
part in the Inn, that this is the right decision. The Inn
needs a huge makeover before the sisters can decide to keep or sell. They hire
the best contractor in town, who happens to like making Maddie's life just a
little bit harder, since she has sworn off me!

cannot wait for the rest of this series.

I have never read Jill's books but it sounds like the kind of book I would really enjoy.
My favorite way to have some time off is to read a light fun book like this. I have enough stress and something like this takes my mind off of things and I can have a mini vacation, which is wonderful!
