Oh, she also happens to be the granddaughter of Lucille, which–according to my friend who has actually read the majority of Lucky Harbor books–is kind of a big deal. And he has the requisite perfectly defined abs.Ĭallie is a stunningly beautiful and endearingly awkward ex-nerd / current mastermind behind one of the most popular virtual wedding planning websites who just happens to be both anti-romance and in Lucky Harbor to determine her grandmother’s sanity. He is also an ex-adrenaline junkie, the town’s ex-football star, and Callie’s ex-crush. Tanner is an ex-navy seal and ex-underwater explosives expert / current diving expert and part owner of a charter boat (shared with his two recently coupled best friends) who is struggling with his bad leg and recently reunited teenage son. The story primarily centers around Tanner and Callie. Unfortunately, as a first-time visitor, I couldn’t truly appreciate and understand all of this book’s charms the way a long time citizen of Lucky Harbor probably would have. Despite this being the final book in the series, this was my first visit to Lucky Harbor. Because of this, it can take a long time before one truly feels like they belong.

It’s never just a place of residency it’s a community filled with friends and neighbors. Little Lucky Harbor holds their past can it hold a beautiful new futureĪs a lifetime resident of small towns, I recognize that a small town can be a wondrous and unique thing. Though there’s something about being around her again that makes him feel like he can be the man she-and his son-deserve. 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.

Tanner is a deep-sea diver with a wild, adrenaline-junkie past-and now his teenage son is back in his life.

And he makes it hard to remember why she’s sworn off love. But when Callie returns to her old hometown, she finds that her sweet high school crush is sexier than ever. Getting left at the altar will do that to a girl. It’s that last part that keeps her single and not looking. As the brains behind wedding site, Callie sees it all: from the ring to the dress, the smiles.
