Blog Tour: Review of Wrapped Up in You by Jill Shalvis

Author: Jill Shalvis

It’s love. Trust me.

After a lifetime on the move, Ivy Snow is an expert in all things temporary—schools, friends, and way too many Mr. Wrongs. Now that she owns a successful taco truck in San Francisco and an apartment to call home, Ivy’s reinvented life is on solid ground. And she’s guarded against anything that can rock it. Like the realities of a past she’s worked hard to cover up. And especially Kel O’Donnell. Too hot not to set off alarms, he screams temporary. If only his whispers weren’t so delightfully naughty and irresistible.

Kel, an Idaho sheriff and ranch owner, is on vacay, but Ivy’s a spicy reason to give his short-terms plans a second thought. Best of all, she’s a tonic for his untrusting heart, burned once and still in repair. But when Ivy’s past intrudes on a perfect romance, Kel fears that everything she’s told him has been a perfect lie. Now, if only Ivy’s willing to share, Kel will fight for a true love story.

Wrapped Up in You is the 8th book in the Heartbreaker Bay series. This one is Ivy and Kel's story. It can definitely be read as a stand alone book. a few of the characters from earlier books show up here, but it isn't essential to have read their stories first. I thought this was a fairly solid addition to the series.

What really made the book for me was Kel. He was such a nice guy and I loved how he kept being there for Ivy, even thought they both had trust issues. I really sympathized with him and his issues with his mother. I could totally understand why he felt the way he did and how he was reluctant to forgive. Ivy I had to warm up to before I liked her. I think it's because I felt like her "struggle" storyline was too close to Sadie's. I didn't find much unique about her other than her loser brother. Having said that, I did like the chemistry between the two of them. I did find myself rooting for them as a couple. I also appreciated the epilogue in the end.

I'm not sure if this is the end to the series, or if it will continue on. It is one I highly recommend though. The series is full of great characters and lots of humor and sexy times.
