About this audiobook

ONE KISS CAN LAST FOREVER
Becca Thorpe has uprooted her life and escaped to the beach. Now's her chance to get away from city living, throw caution to the ocean winds, and live in the moment. Especially if the moment includes the deliciously sexy surfer she meets shortly after arriving in Lucky Harbor. Something about the dark intensity of Sam's eyes and the thrill she gets at his touch convinces her to stay awhile.

Boatbuilder and investment genius Sam Brody is a self-made man who knows how dangerous it can be to mix business and pleasure. But he can't resist offering Becca a job just to hear her laugh and have her near. Yet when her brother comes to town asking for help, will he tempt her back to her glamorous life in the city? Or do Sam and little Lucky Harbor have a chance to win Becca's heart?

    I loved going back to visit Lucky Harbor. I remember glimpses of Sam from Ben's book.. and I was happy to read his story. It started a bit quick for me- as in the character's seemed too close for just meeting, but I could over look it as they worked so well together... Sam was definitely the "Sexy Grumpy Surfer" that Becca dubs him right off in the book. I enjoyed his surliness. Becca was a strong New girl to town. She was a great match for Sam. I did take away half a star as I didn't like how Sam wouldn't stop enabling his father.. and it kinda got tiresome for me to watch. And then Becca to kinda do the same.. just my opinion there.. I am looking forward to the next in this series... can't wait to read about Cole!

    I loved this! I love Lucky Harbor and all the hot and sweet things its brought into my life. Here we have Becca and sexy, mysterious Sam and they have this amazing chemistry which provides us with some pretty great scenes and a rollercoaster of feelings. All of the other characters play something in the plot and each leave their own flavor and personality. Loved this!

    This series is like potato chips. I can't read just one, but the books don't have a lot of substance. Oddly enough, what keeps me coming back is the male friendships. That's true of this book too. I found myself wanting more Cole, Sam, and Tanner together. The three of them with Becca (the main female character) also worked. The romance between Sam and Becca was believable, but that wasn't the relationship I was interested in.

    Oh, if only I could live in Lucky Harbor! I've read several books in this series now and I've got to say I love them all. Jill Shalvis is one author that has never disappointed me. Her books are always at least a really good read for me, if I don't outright love them. It's in His Kiss is definitely one that I loved!

    The characters in It's In His Kiss feel like real people, the romance is hot, there are loads of little funny things going on and it is really well written. All around good read. It's one of those books that will make you smile while reading and feel all warm and fuzzy inside by the end. While this book is part of a series (all of which have titles that are song names, in case you didn't notice) but you wouldn't have any problem reading it as a standalone.

    Adored this book! As much as I have loved all the Lucky Harbor books this may be my favorite. Sam is just so yummy and sweet! Classic Jill Shalvis so it's completely entertaining! Sam the sexy surfer guy is serious about business and doesn't want to mix in pleasure but he can't help himself when it comes to Becca! I highly recommend this one!

    This is the first book in the final trilogy of Lucky Harbor books, and I am going to miss the whole crew. In this book, Becca is a newcomer to Lucky Harbor. In need of a change in her life, she packed up everything and drove until she stopped in Lucky Harbor. She'd always wanted to see the Pacific Ocean, and finally doing so soothes her soul. Something that isn't so soothing, but is equally intriguing, is the sexy surfer she meets on the beach. Between the two she decides to stay in Lucky Harbor for awhile and see where it takes her.Sam is co-owner of Lucky Harbor Charters, a business he owns with his two best friends. He's the money guy in the business, with a knack for increasing their income. The cute and sexy brunette he meets on the beach is a complication he doesn't need in his life, but he can't seem to stay away from her.I loved Becca. She's smart and feisty and determined to get her life back. She grew up as part of a very musical family and is talented on the piano. She also suffers from terrible stage fright, and after years of fighting it in order to help her younger brother and meet parental expectations, she's had enough. She quit touring with him and took a job writing jingles for an ad agency. That went well until she lost her "muse" and now she's struggling, and hopes that a fresh start will help her. I loved her upbeat personality that has her making the best of her crappy living quarters, and her attempt at waitressing was great. She finally finds the perfect job as the office manager for Sam's company, a job that creates some trouble for the relationship that is growing between them. Sam is a man who keeps his emotions locked up pretty tight. His childhood was rocky with no mother and a father who was irresponsible. Sam grew up quickly, learned how to manage what money his dad did bring home, but still ended up in foster care on a regular basis. Fortunately for him, the foster mother he ended up with was wonderful, and her son became like a brother to him. But his father's easy use of "love ya" without any action to back it up gave Sam a distrust of the words, preferring to judge people by their actions. Sam and Becca are attracted to each other from the moment they meet. The chemistry between them is hot. Becca is ready to seize the moment with him, but Sam is a little more wary. He senses that she could get past his walls and is soon proved right. I loved the way that their relationship develops. There's a great deal of teasing between them, with his nickname of "Peeper" for her because of the way he catches her watching him, and her calling him "sexy grumpy surfer" because he is. Sam is protective of Becca (loved the spider scene!) and wants to help her get past the things that have been dragging her down. I loved the way that he sees that she hasn't had much fun in her life and is determined to bring it to her now. At the same time Becca is drawn to Sam's confidence, but also sees the neglected boy underneath. In spite of the issues she has with her own parents, she tries to help Sam deal with his own father issues. The feelings they have for each other deepen and grow, but their ways of expressing those feelings are so different that it nearly drives them apart. I loved Sam's big moment at the Summer Bash, when he comes through for Becca in so many ways. I look forward to seeing more of them in the next books.I also loved the secondary characters. Sam's two friends and partners are terrific. They know Sam and all his foibles and love him anyway. I also liked the way they had no trouble giving him a hard time about anything from Becca to answering the phones. They are also always ready to support him, and are there when he needs help with Becca or his father or anything else. I enjoyed the stories they told from when they were all kids, and also their time on the rigs and when they started their business. It gave a good insight into what made them all the way they were. Sam's dad was an interesting guy, and though I didn't like him much at the beginning, by the end I could see that he really was trying to change. Becca's family members were harder to like. Her brother Jase was selfish and immature and made me very glad that Becca had gotten away from his life. It said a lot about her that she didn't give up on him, but she also developed the strength to stand up to him, thanks to Sam. I didn't like her parents at all. Their appearance at the end, all contrite about the way they had treated her, didn't feel real. I had the feeling that they were just playing her a different way. Her new friend and neighbor Olivia seems really nice, and I liked seeing the friendship that developed between them, something that Becca hadn't ever had before. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her in the next book.

    Another great read in this must read series by a favorite author! I think I would keep reading this series for as long as Jill kept writing them but sadly there are only two more to left to go in this series.

    I really just want to visit Lucky Harbor and see all this hot guys...I'd settle for a quick peep.

    This installment was okay. Now okay doesnt mean bad but, well, this story felt like your favorite slippers. You know? Those slippers you like to wear because you've broken them in. They're comfy. Warm. Fuzzy. You don't wear them around company but Lord knows they're always next to your bed. They've seen better days but you know you aren't throwing them out any time soon. If you have no idea what I mean, you are a total caveman/woman. A bare-footed one.I know Jill Shalvis is consistent in her genre, not that means in anyway boring or mediocre. When you grab one of her books, you know what youre getting. Contemporary romance, maybe some hiccup or bump in the road, a physical attraction, a Happily Ever After in the end, with secondary and tertiary characters poised for the next in the series. Becca is running away from family problems and ends up in Lucky Harbor. She's a musician needing aforementioned space from family and to get back her commercial-music, jingle-writing mojo. Enter our bachelor, Sam. He's no commitment phobe but has his own Daddy issues he's working out. Sam and Becca meet and while they help each other conquer their demons and maybe love. (oh, who am I kidding, its a HEA story).This is a romance to take to the beach or on vacay. Not too plot driven to be able to put down and/or pick up when the mood hits.Thanks to Netgalley and Forever - Grand Central Publishing for the review copy provided.

    I liked this story especially the setting with three hunky men and their boating business in addition to music classes for kids but I never connected with the heroine's emotions about her troubled past which was rather complicated. Becca is running away from something and rents an apartment next to where Sam's builds boats.

    Becca has just recently moved to Lucky Harbor to start over. Sam's boat charting business has really taken off and the company finds itself in need of a new Office Manager. As a neighbor of the charting business and an office management wiz, Becca is perfect for the job. Sparks fly, as the two have instant chemistry. Everything is going great until Becca's past resurfaces. So I absolutely loved Becca and Sam, both as individuals and as a couple. You can tell Sam really cared about her and wanted to help her deal with her problems. Becca was pretty well fleshed out and the issues she had with men, given her recent romantic history, made sense. Sam had his own love issues, though his were due to having an absent father who essentially mooched off his own son. The conflict seemed real and not too drawn out.I would not give this book a 5/5 because some of the subplots were just wrapped up too quickly. For example, Sam and his father went from not okay to A-okay over the course of two pages. This was really shocking because the father hadn't shown enough growth at that point to merit being forgiven and getting a second chance. The whole Becca's brother being a junkie subplot also got wrapped up too neatly and in just a few pages. I didn't believe he'd really changed his ways and his decision to go to rehab was just so sudden. Also, Becca's parents did a complete 180 on their opinions concerning Jase and Becca's ex. Even Becca seemed shock, as this revelation really was out of left field.However, these were just minor plot point and the major plot was solid. Another winner for Jill Shalvis!

    These Lucky Harbour books are my go-to books when I feel like I need a little romance in my life and Sam and Becca were exactly what I needed. I've been dying to read Sam's story every since he was first mentioned in this series and I think Becca was a perfect fit for him. They were both holding back in life and love until they came together and exploded on the page. I love every character in the Lucky Harbour series, so with each book I read I swear that the couple of that book is my favorite, but I'm really leaning towards Sam and Becca being my favorite...so far. I mean we still have Tanner and Cole to pair off and I'm sure this little town has many more hunky men hiding out somewhere. Looking forward to reading more in this series.Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

Love the hero, who's broody, has issues regarding trust and love, yet at the same time, doesn't hesitate in going after what he wants. Enter Becca, who's unbelievably sweet, but also has her fair share of past issues...and watch the two clash and explode with lust. It's great watching Becca stand up for herself, even against Sam, someone she wants but doesn't think she can get too close to. The old cast and news ones are also in this one, which makes it a lovely read. Be prepared for the heat to burn through the pages...yes, it's that good.
