Happy Friday to you, it is a pleasure to be part of New York Times Best Selling Author Jill Shalvis's Blog tour.
my review:
I have been a fan of Jill Shalvis for awhile now and love all of her books but Once in a Lifetime is my favorite. It is always fun to visit friends in Lucky Harbor. Jill brings the story to life and pulls you in to a beautiful story. Ben and Aubrey will warm your hearts as you follow love story. They were not perceived as a couple that would make it but with the love they have towards each other they prove them to be wrong. I have enjoyed this book and the story of hope and love!
Jill Shalvis has written such a beautiful series that will touch your heart and life.
Excerpt:
A few snowflakes floated lazily out of the low, dense clouds. One block over, the Pacific Ocean carved into the harbor, which was lined by three-story high, rugged bluffs teeming with the untouched forestland that was the Olympic Mountains. Around him, the oak-lined streets were strung with white lights, shining brightly through the morning gloom. Peaceful. Still.
A month ago, he’d been in South America, elbows deep in a project rebuilding a water system for the war-torn land. Before that, he’d been in Haiti. And before that, Africa. And before that … Indonesia? Hell, it might have been another planet for all he remembered. It was all rolling together.
He went to places after disaster hit, whether man or nature made, and he saw people at their very worst moments. Sometimes he changed lives, sometimes he improved them, but at some point over the past five years, he’d become numb to it. So much so that when he’d gone to check out a new jobsite at the wrong place, only to have the right place blown to bits by a suicide bomber just before he got there, he’d finally realized something.
He didn’t always have to be the guy on the front line. He could design and plan water systems for devastated countries from anywhere. Hell, he could become a consultant instead. Five years of wading knee deep in crap, both figuratively and literally, was enough for anyone. He didn’t want to be in the right hellhole next time.
So he’d come home, with no idea what was next.
