About this ebook

What makes life sweet?

• Freshly baked bread
• A cool lake on a hot summer day
• The comfort of a cozy bookstore
• Second chances and new beginnings

When Harper Shaw’s life falls apart, she knows it’s time for a change. She removes everything that doesn’t spark joy—from her soul-sucking job to eating kale to making lists—and sets off for the last place she was happy, Lake Tahoe (who wouldn’t feel good there, right?) to fulfill her dream of opening her own bakery.

With her Sugar Pine Bakery in between a tavern, owned by sexy, grumpy Bodie Campbell, and a bookstore, run by her new BFF, she feels a peace she’s never experienced since…well, forever.. Then she meets Ivy, a teenage runaway, who barrels into her heart. She sees a lot of herself in Ivy and takes her under her wing, but the teenager has secrets…

When those secrets explode, it changes Harper’s new world, and she’ll learn, it’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to figure out your life, and best of all, it’s never too late to let yourself believe in love.

Ratings and reviews

4.5* I really loved this story. I want to move to Sunrise Cove, not even kidding. This story was sweet and heartfelt and I enjoyed all the different points of view. The Campbell brothers are awesome and their mother is a living saint! Harper and Ivy's relationship was really special, something Ivy needed. I liked Harper and Bodie together, they complemented and balanced each other. I was happy there wasn't a whole lot of drama between them, even though Bodie pushed the limits there a little.

Highly entertaining, emotionally thrilling, sweetly sexy and action-packed romantic adventure filled with desire, the struggle for true love and passion. Was a edge of your seat exciting journey from beginning to end and so hard to put down.

Jill Shalvis is one of my favorite authors. She has the gift of creating characters that I fall in love with as soon as I meet them. Harper's journey for changing her life landed her in a new town. I loved her optimism about everything. Ivy just pulled at my heart. The book gave me a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings. I laughed a lot and teared up a time or two. As always, the book was over too quickly. It was the perfect way to spend a day.
