Lost and Found Sisters (Lost and Found Sisters, #1) (Wildstone, #1)

by Jill Shalvis

[kimbacaffeinate]

Shalvis is quite the storyteller and I was delighted to find myself quickly drawn into Quinn's story. Quinn's life is about to be altered and it's a good thing too. Since her sister's death, she has just been going through the motions of living. When a lawyer contacts Quinn about a mysterious inheritance it comes with earth-shattering news. She feels betrayed, unsure and overwhelmed.

Blindsided she gets in her car and heads to Wildstone. When she has a panic attack in the beach parking lot a golden retriever named Cooper and his sexy owner, Mick Hennessey assist her. Mick has returned to the town his father made him hate to help his mother after the old man died. He intends to make repairs, clean out the junk and return to his life in San Francisco. Fate has other plans for him.

The romance delivered wonderful chemistry and brought change to both characters. Shalvis peeled back their layers and quickly had me swooning over Mick. His compassion, patience, and love for his dog make him a worthy book boyfriend. Quinn struggled with change and decision making, but she has a good heart and sees the good in people. I felt for her as she found her footing and loved the added touch concerning Beth.

The small town of Wildstone and its characters proved to be very interesting from Mick's snarky ex-girlfriend to the women who works in the diner. I loved the complication with the inheritance and enjoyed seeing the developing relationship. Shalvis provided plenty of laughter in this heartfelt tale, from bugs in the tub to a snarky stray cat.

Since this is the start of a series, several threads are woven in alongside Quinn's story from politics to a troubled couple. Of course, Shalvis already has me counting down the days until the June 2018 release of RAINY DAY FRIENDS.
