“Fall in love with Jill Shalvis! She’s my go-to read for humor and heart.”— Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author

Beloved New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis begins a new series—Sunrise Cove—set near beautiful Lake Tahoe, with a heartwarming story of found family and love.

During the snowstorm of the century Levi Cutler is stranded on a ski lift with a beautiful stranger named Jane. After strong winds hurl the gondola in front of them into the ground, Levi calls his parents to prepare them for the worst…but can’t bring himself to say goodbye. Instead, wanting to fulfill his mother’s lifelong wish, he impulsively tells her he’s happily settled and Jane is his girlfriend—right before his phone dies.

But Levi and Jane do not.

Now Levi’s family is desperate to meet “The One.” Though Jane agrees to be his pretend girlfriend for just one dinner, she’s nervous. After a traumatic childhood, Jane isn’t sure she knows how to be around a tight-knit family that cherishes one another. She’s terrified, and a little jealous. But an unexpected series of events and a host of new friends soon show Jane that perhaps this is the life she was always meant to have.

As Jane and Levi spend more time together, pretend feelings quickly turn into real ones. Now all Jane has to do is admit to herself she can’t live without the man she’s fallen in love with and the family she has always dreamed of.

    “𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚘𝚙𝚑𝚘𝚋𝚒𝚊.” She looked at him. “What?” “It’s the fear of being happy.” ― Jill Shalvis, The Family You Make 4⭐️ 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝚘𝚗𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚛: RN Jane Parks gets stuck on a sky lift car w/ Levi Cutler and of course a romance happens. ♥️ 𝙼𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜: This is the first book I read in 2023. I read it in January so it was perfect snowy weather mood reading (still would be with this crazy weather now). I was captivated by the intensity at the beginning when Jane & Levi got stuck in that ski lift car during that snowstorm. From there it was a good typical Jill Shalvis romance read. I’ve read her books before and I still like her writing. This book I was pleasantly surprised with not 1 romance story but 2. The other was Charlotte Dixon and Mateo Moreno (both doctors & friends of Jane). I liked the 4 characters’ pov and with the setting - Lake Tahoe. But the highlight of this story is still the meet cute between Jane and Levi and that ski lift car. ❄️ 💙 #MichelleBookAddict.
