At Last (Lucky Harbor, #5)

[Cocktails and Books]

Just when I thought I couldn't find another man in Lucky Harbor to love or one to dethrone Sawyer as my Lucky Harbor boyfriend, Ranger Hot Buns (aka Matt Bowers) proves he should be at the top of the list.

Matt Bowers left Chicago and his disaster of a life behind to seek solace in the quiet of the National Parks surrounding Lucky Harbor. While the memories still affect him, he's moved on to build a life that makes him mostly happy. What would make him even happier was if "Eat Me" waitress Amy Michaels would fall to his charms.

Amy has been on the run since she was sixteen years old. First from her family and then from life in general. With her grandmother's journal, she hopes she'll be able to find the peace and happiness her grandmother wrote of while hiking the same trails and viewing the same vistas. She doesn't expect Matt Bowers to upend her world and make her want a relationship with a man or to build a permanent life in this small Pacific Northwest town.

I absolutely loved Matt and Amy together. He was the perfect Alpha male who would do anything to protect his woman, but was also aware of the type of person Amy was where he gave her space when she needed it. Amy was the perfect match for Matt as well, since she wouldn't allow him to take over her life and lead her around. They were both there to remind each of how good they were, individually and together, just when each of them needed to hear it.

I adore Jill Shalvis' books and have yet to meet one that disappoints me. She has the perfect blend of humor, emotion and exceptionally hot men. If only her fictional town was real, I'd pack my car in a hot minute and be on my way.
