BOOK SYNOPSIS:

LOVE CAN HAPPEN IN A HEARTBEAT.

Grace never thought she’d be starting her life over from scratch. Losing everything has landed her in Lucky Harbor, working as a dog walker for overwhelmed ER doctor Josh Scott. But the day his nanny fails to show up, Grace goes from caring for Josh’s loveable mutt to caring for his rambunctious kids. Soon Grace is playing house with the sexy single dad…

With so many people depending on him, Josh has no time for anything outside of his clinic and family–until Grace arrives in town. Now this brainy blonde is turning his life inside out and giving a whole new meaning to the phrase “good bedside manner.” Josh and Grace don’t know if what they have can last. But in a town like Lucky Harbor, a lifetime of love starts with just one day

REVIEW:
I have to admit this is my 1st Jill Shalvis book.  Yes, I started with book 6.  But really Forever and A Day can easily be a stand alone read.  But I have already started book 5 and will be working my way back to book 1.  Yes, not my normal way of doing it, but I have found that I am in love with the town of Lucky Harbor and more in love with Jill.

Grace has always done what everyone else expects of her.  But Grace now finds herself at a crossroads.  She is not sure who she wants to be or what she wants to do.  She has not been being true to herself.  Determined to make her life her own she starts having to pick up odd jobs, doing some very odd things.  But when a wrong number looking for a dog walker  for the day offers her a ridiculous about of money, she can’t turn it down.  But what Grace finds from this mistaken dog walking job will forever change her future.

Josh.  1st I have to say *sigh*, love him.  Josh is a single father of a very sweet and loving little boy who thinks he is a Jedi/dog (trust me you need to read the book to understand). On top of being a dad, he also takes care of his sister, and a doctor, running his own practice.  Needless to say Josh is a very busy man, that doesn’t have time for his little boy or sister,  let alone a love life.  But when Josh hires his new dog walker, he could never imagine the outcome of this one choice.
Okay, from page one I fell in love with this little town called Lucky Harbor.  So much so I want to pack up my bags and move there right now, find my prince charming and live happily every after.  Okay fine, I won’t go.  But still Jill, does an amazing job of getting me connected with the characters.
