There is nothing I love more than curling up with a new Jill Shalvis book. She is my comfort author and I will never NOT recommend reading her books.

Riggs and Tae have a history but their chemistry is clear from the get-go. Riggs is dealing with his seperation from the military and guilt about not being around for his older brother when he needed him the most. Back home to try to convince his brother to slow down before he heads off for a new life in D.C., Riggs keeps running into to Tae and it's really throwing a wrench in his plans to stay disconnected. Tae is dealing with questions about her father while trying to protect her mother after they basically grew up together, her mother having had her as a teen, and avoiding Riggs because he'll only break her heart. They quickly learn that the pull between them is too strong to fight but just as things are getting good, the past blows in and messes things up for everyone involved.

I loved the connection between Tae and Riggs and how they tried guarding their hearts but their feelings were just too strong. It was kind of a slow-burn with just a hint of angst and an awesome addition to the Sunrise Cove series of standalones.
