Head Over Heels

“[A] winning roller-coaster ride…[a] touching, character-rich, laughter-laced, knockout sizzler.���


Library Journal
(starred review)

“Healthy doses of humor, lust, and love work their magic as Shalvis tells Chloe’s story…Wit, smoking-hot passion, and endearing tenderness…a big winner.”


Publishers Weekly

“The Lucky Harbor series has become one of my favorite contemporary series, and
Head Over Heels
didn’t disappoint…such a fun, sexy book…I think this one can be read as a stand-alone book, but I encourage you to try the first two in the series, where you meet all the characters of this really fun town.”

—USAToday.com

“The writing is, as always, very good. Shalvis makes her characters seem like reflections of ourselves, or at least our relatives. She also makes the scenarios real, not too sweet or too violent. Definitely a good choice for a rainy afternoon.”
