Book Review: Shores Of Your Heart

 


Two childhood soulmates, two opposite sides of the tracks, one beach house.

Oliver Madden doesn’t do relationships. Which I’d do well to remember because, at 38, he’s the same maddening heartthrob he was in high school.

I’ve known him since we were six. My mother cleaned the house Oliver grew up in. A lonely kid in a big villa with no love. From the moment we met, we became each other’s shore to crash on, until time and life came between us.

When the broken boy I once loved learns I’m drowning in debt and offers I move into his beach house, I can’t afford to say no. I just need to ensure I don’t fall for the man he is now. A green-eyed man with barbed wire around his heart.

His barricaded heart claims he offered his house because he owes me. But every kind act, every lingering look, every burning touch, tells me that this rugged man is a gun loaded with pain, rage, and love.

And he doesn’t want to risk my finger on the trigger.

Shores of Your Heart is a dual pov, forced proximity, slow burn, second chance, childhood friends to lovers romance with an angsty-yet-worth-taking road to a HEA.


My Review

I absolutely love this newest book by Lily. I started and finished it in one afternoon. January and Oliver are great together. I am so happy they got a second chance to find love with one another. The flash backs to the past just added another emotional layer to Oliver and January.  I mean Oliver was destined to be January's “Oliforever.”.

He was Oliforever, my moon, my northern lights, and I was his north star, his sunshine girl.

The lead up of the slow burn heat between January and Oliver definitely got me on the edge of my seat a few times in anticipation of that first touch. It was so worth it as the chemistry between these two heated up and got really steamy. 

“I’ve never belonged anywhere, January. So, I’ll belong where you are.”

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes.
