BOOK SYNOPSIS:
SOMETIMES WRONG IS OH-SO-RIGHT

After a wrenching loss, Ben McDaniel tried to escape his grief by working in dangerous, war-torn places like Africa and the Middle East. Now he’s back in his hometown and face-to-face with Aubrey Wellington, the hot-as-hell woman who is trouble with a capital T. Family and friends insist she’s not the one to ease his pain, but Aubrey sparks an intense desire that gives Ben hope for the future.

Determined to right the wrongs of her past, Aubrey is working hard to make amends. But by far, the toughest challenge to her plan is sexy, brooding Ben – even though he has absolutely no idea what she’s done . . .

Can this unlikely couple defy the odds and win over the little town of Lucky Harbor?

KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts I so love visiting Lucky Harbor but sadly my visits are never long enough. Ever Lucky Harbor book I pick up I devore and when it is all said and done I want to cry a little because I know I have to wait for the next book. I really wish I could move to this sweet little town full of awesome people who love to gossip. Well that is as long as I am not the one they are gossiping about. But then again that might be fun…..

If you are a fan of Jill’s Lucky Harbor series you will LOVE Ben & Aubrey’s book. These two go on a wild roller coaster ride of highs and lows to learn what is really important in life. And of those lessons that they learn forgiveness is number one.

KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts Another wonderful read from Jill Shalvis. She has been one of my favorite authors for a while now and this book changes nothing. We met the characters of Aubrey and Ben in recent books and it was great to see them get together in Once In A Lifetime.

Ben comes back to his hometown as the beloved son. Aubrey has been the troublemaker since she could walk. How these two get together is beyond me but they are perfect for each other. I love that Aubrey makes a list of those she has wronged and wants to right all the wrongs. And the thing is she does it for herself. Not to impress anyone, not to get something out of it. Just for herself to know that she is a better person as an adult then she was as a child. Ben is a great guy but honestly this story is about Aubrey and her journey and how Ben fits into it.

I love visiting Lucky Harbor and I can’t wait for the next in the series, It’s In His Kiss, which is Sam’s story. How in the world can Shalvis right a book about a man who barely speaks a word to anyone? Well if anyone can it is Shalvis!
