One in a Million (Lucky Harbor, #12)

by Jill Shalvis

As the brains behind wedding site TyingTheKnot.com, Callie sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles . . . to the tears. It's that last part that keeps her single and "not" looking. Getting left at the altar will do that to a girl. But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds that her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. And he makes it hard to remember why she's sworn off love . . . Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie past--and now his teenage son is back in his life. How can Tanner be a role model when he's still paying for his own mistakes? It's hard enough that gorgeous Callie has appeared in town like a beautiful dream, challenging his best-laid plans to keep his heart on lockdown. Though there's something about being around her again that makes him feel like he can be the man she--and his son--deserve. Little Lucky Harbor holds their past; can it hold a beautiful new future?

This is so bittersweet. I loved Lucky Harbor so much and will miss Lucielle's matchmaking. As always, I loved watching Callie and Tanner fall in love. I really liked that they had that bond from the past, and their chemistry was fantastic. The crew added that element of fun, and found Callie's affection for Troy quite endearing. This is a series I will always adore. Every trip to Lucky Harbor delivered lots of laughs and left me elated.

Full review to be posted on Romance @ Random web site.

Jill Shalvis has done it again. The Lucky Harbor series has been a favorite of mine since Jax came strutting onto the first page. After twelve books, the residents of Lucky Harbor worked their way into my heart so it was bittersweet reading ONE IN A MILLION knowing this was going to be the last one. Luckily for us, this book goes out with a bang.

I really enjoyed the premise of this story. Callie, a virtual wedding planner, doesn’t believe in love, but she’s willing to sell it and her relationship advice on her web site tyingtheknot.com. But Callie really is a closet romantic who had her dreams destroyed when she was left at the altar. Fingering it was safer to say she didn’t believe in love any more than put herself out there, she lived a pretty solitary life. The few friends she had consisted of her two neighbors and her grandmother, Lucille. So, in Jill Shalvis style, we get to witness Callie breaking her own rules regarding relationships when Tanner Riggs comes along. Tanner likes Callie’s quirks, her clumsiness, and appreciates her for who she is without wanting to change her. And despite her attempts at fighting her growing feelings, Callie really didn’t stand a chance against hot as hell Tanner.......

I really enjoyed this one. I think of the last three books, Tanner is my favorite hero. I also think that Callie freaking rocks and I really enjoyed seeing her develop a great relationship with Troy. I thought Shalvis did a great job of ending the series on a high note and it was such great fun to see Lucille hang up her matchmaking hat. Perfect ending to a fantastic series, a series that I'm going to miss SO MUCH.

But I will say that I'm really excited to see what Shalvis will deliver next. :)
