The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . WRAPPED UP IN YOU (Hearbreaker Bay, #8) . . . You have romance. You have people with a real life carved out in stone. You have people with a past that wants to take everything good that brings light and happiness. You have a group of friends that are the ride-or-die kind that will have you back and your front and even cover you side, if you let them. Ivy came around about a year ago and meet a group of friends and family that would do any and everything for each other. Kel just came to town for a visit and to take his mind of things happening back home but he too is still family. The spark that sizzles between the two when they meet for the first time on a cold morning over tacos was clear and almost as heated as that taco Kel bite in to.
We may have two people that have had or felt abandoned, used, lied to at some point and time in their past. These are heavy bags to carry from place to place throughout ones life. Its also a heavy burden to carry and expect or even just want someone else to help you out,if only to help ease the burden. These are some of the same things that clouds judgement and dilute trust. Kel and Ivy find that the past never stays hidden and when you are not wanting it. It comes back and changes the course of your world once again. Just when you feel as if things are beginning to lookup even just for a little while.
Jill Shalvis had done something that I have not seen from an author before. She opened the book with an apology. For what? I will let you find that out on you own, but I for one appreciate it. Things like what she sad does bug me and take my focus off the story I am working to enjoy. I appreciate her for this. Thank you. And I for one am happy that you made this change.
There are an awesome group of friends and family located in the Heartbreaker Bay series. These friends all find love and family in different ways but there's no mistaken that these people are that in deed, family.

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.
