The Lemon Sisters, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Jill Shalvis.
When Brooke’s older sister, Mindy, shows up at her door with her three kids in tow, she barely recognizes her sibling who looks like she’s on the verge of a total breakdown. While adventurous, wanderlust Brooke was always the problem child, eager to slip free of Wildstone and its small-town constraints, Mindy was the golden child, who never had a hair out of place or a GPA below 4.0. The Mindy that arrives at Brooke’s apartment however, is a far cry from the ever-perfect doctor’s wife.
Brooke’s further stunned when Mindy asks to trade places with her for a few days so she can pick up her pieces and put herself back together. What Mindy doesn’t realize is that Brooke is just as broken. Her sister needs her though, so Brooke takes the kids and returns to Wildstone.
But how does one go home after seven years away and what feels like a lifetime of secrets? It doesn’t take long for Brooke to come face-to-face with her past, in the form of one tall, dark, sexy mistake. But Garrett’s no longer interested, or so he says. Only his words don’t match his actions, leaving Brooke feeling things she long ago shoved deep.
The sisters begin to wonder if the childhood taunts were true, are they lemons in life? In love? True or not, they know one thing—you can’t run far enough to outpace your demons. And when long-dead secrets surface, they’ll have to overcome their differences and learn that sometimes the one person who can help you the most is the one you never thought to ask.

Excerpt:
“Okay,” she said. “Time for me to go to bed.” “Or you’re running,” he said. “Again.” She closed her eyes and told herself to ignore the soft taunt. No matter what they’d been – or hadn’t been – to each other, she wasn’t looking for love with anyone, and certainly not a wash and repeat with the one man who could destroy her. It wasn’t as if she’d been a monk. She’d dated, but she hadn’t let anyone in. Not ever. Even Cole had complained about the brick walls she’d encased her emotions in. And he was right. She could get involved to a point, but she always pulled back. “You don’t have to run from me, you know,” Garrett said. “There’s no reason for there to be anything but honesty between us.” Yes, there was... “Maybe I’m just not feeling it.” Another soft laugh. “Okay.” “Hey,” she said and poked a finger in his pec. His hard, ungiving, sexy pec. “If I was feeling it, you’d know.” “Yeah? How?” he challenged. “I’d be …flirty. I certainly wouldn’t be thinking of all of your faults.” He grinned. How like a man to not be worried about his faults. “So what are these so-called faults?” he asked, curious. Still not concerned. “Well, for starters, you’re wearing black knit boxers with bananas on them.” This made him laugh outright. “Someone sent me a subscription box. They come once a month. Last month’s pair had cocks all over them.” “Like … chickens, or…?” He was still smiling. “If you’re curious, I’ll be happy to wear them tomorrow and give you a peek.” “Whatever,” she said. “And the fact that some woman sent you a subscription to undies is another reason I’m not feeling it. You’ve stayed friends with every single person you’ve ever met.” “And that’s a fault?” She shrugged. Of course it wasn’t a fault. It was the opposite of a fault. “Well, except for me, of course.” “Because you don’t answer phone calls, texts, emails…” He tilted his head. “Tell me something.” Oh boy. “What?” “Why did you and your last boyfriend break up? That Cole guy.” “I told you, he’s my boss.” “But you’re sleeping together,” he said, his eyes holding hers prisoner. “Or you were.” “How do you know that?” He smiled grimly. “You just told me.” Dammit. She crossed her arms over her chest. “We’re not together if that’s what you’re asking.” “Why?” “Why what?” she asked. “Why aren’t you together?” he pressed. “Because I don’t like him like that.” Did his eyes warm very slightly, or was that her imagination? “Because you’re just not feeling it?” he asked mockily, using her words. She rolled her eyes. “You think you’re funny. How about we talk about you. Tell me about the girlfriend you said you don’t have. The one who called you the other day for a hookup.” “It wasn’t a hookup. She dumped me.” She snorted. “Right. You expected me to believe a guy who looks like you do, and is funny and smart like you are, got dumped?” “Actually, I expect you to believe whatever I tell you.” He shifted close until they were knee to knee. “Because I’ve never lied to you, Brooke. Never will.”








I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series but was able to read this one with no issues. 

Seven years ago Brooke Lemon left Wildstone, CA bound for Los Angeles. Now a producer for a Travel show, she has no plans to return. She cut ties with her sister Mindy as well as the man who held her heart, Garrett Montgomery.

When Mindy shows up unexpectedly begging for her sisters help, Brooke feels obligated to help. Mindy looks nothing like the poised and in control women she has always been. Instead she is frazzled, distraught and close to a breakdown. 

Brooke, along with Mindy’s three children head to Wildstone. Of course she runs in to Garrett and both realise that they still have feelings for one another.

I really loved Mindy’s children and it was heart warming to watch as Brooke re-connected with them. It was also interesting to watch as Brooke and Mindy tried to fix their relationship whilst Mindy trued to fix her marriage to Linc.

As long buried secrets rise to the surface, Brooke, Mindy and Garrett will have to learn to trust one another again.

The chemistry between Brooke and Garrett is strong and both come to realise that what they have is worth fighting for.

Jill Shalvis writes characters that are human, that have flaws, vulnerabilities and are easy to relate too. There is always a lot of depth to her characters and The Lemon Sisters is a good example of this.




4.5 Stars for The Lemon Sisters which is book 3 in the Wildstone Series but you don’t need to have read the previous books to enjoy the entertaining read from Jill Shalvis, I know this because I haven’t read the previous books but I will be going back as soon as time permits because I fell in love with Brooke and Mindy The Lemon Sisters of Wildstone. 
They may be sisters but they couldn’t be more different , Brooke has always been a free spirt she had a exciting career with plenty of adrenaline rushes until a helicopter crash left her with PTSD. Mindy was the sister who settled down married a doctor and had 3 adorable children until she felt her life was falling apart she is convinced her husband is having an affair and she turns up on Brooke’s doorstep with her children in tow. Brooke does what any loving sister would do and that’s take the children home to give Mindy some space and time to think. Problem is that means going back to her hometown and face her own insecurities and face the only man she has ever really loved .......
Brooke may have broken Garrett’s heart all those years ago but deep down she still loves him will this be a second chance for them all or will the past haunt their futures.
A book with all the feels, I laughed at those adorable children and the issues they all cope with on a daily basis, I loved Brooke and Mindy but Garrett really stole a piece of my heart. This book has the perfect mix of love, passion and humour whilst dealing with family drama and if you love contemporary romance set in a small town then this is a book you need to read. This is a touching story about family, life and everyday issues and this author did a great job drawing me into the life’s of the residents of Wildstone. 





Jill Shalvis delivers yet another witty and beautiful romance with The Lemon Sisters.

This book is written in multiple POVs, which I absolutely loved. You read the story from both Lemon sisters, Brooke and Mindy, as well as Garrett.

The storyline isn't just about one sister but about the troubles that both sisters are having. Brooke's story is a second chance romance with her teenage crush, Garrett. Mindy's story relates to the trouble she's having with her marriage and managing her family life. 

The story, I felt, was very realistic and one that many people will be able to relate to. I for one definitely related to Mindy's story. 

The antics that the two sisters get up to had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions and definitely smiling a whole lot. 

I love Jill Shalvis' writing and can't wait to read more in this series!
