A few years ago, my life suddenly got incredibly busy. I had a bunch of ARCs I was supposed to review and I simply did not have time. My only reading for a few years was listening to audiobooks on my way to and from work. Life has calmed down a bit, so I am working through the ARCs now.

As I was sifting through, I came across this title. Jill Shalvis is an instant read author for me. I knew I had read the series- or rather listened to it. I run to Goodreads to check- not marked read. Yet the rest of the series was. Even though I was 99% sure I'd read it, I decided to reread it because I did not remember enough details to write a review.

Shortly after beginning, I knew I had been right. It came back to me- especially Wyatt's glasses and silly t-shirts.

Then Came You is a typical Shalvis book- funny and steamy. I really liked Wyatt. A lot. It is Emily I did not care for. Wyatt made up for Emily's shortcomings though, making this a worthwhile read. Darcy also came back to me. If I wasn't trying to catch up on my old ARCs, I'd reread her story!

Alpha Male, who doesn’t love a good Alpha Male?? That is exactly what Wyatt is. From the very first time I met Wyatt, I knew he was the good guy. He wasn’t a love them and leave them type of guy. His issue is that he never got the chance to make choices for himself growing up so he doesn’t want to take that away from the people around him. The fact that he had two sisters who couldn’t seem to keep their nose out of his business made me laugh and smile so many times, especially when they were right and even he knew it.

Emily need someone to push her a little to make the choice to stay with Wyatt and in Sunshine. She was so focused on her plan that she couldn’t see what was right in front of her face. The fact that everything she wants is in Sunshine and she wants to leave made ma shake my head. I did love that she had a plan, that she knew what she wanted in life and went for it. Even achieving most of it. I didn’t love that she kept her past close to her, not sharing with Wyatt what made her who she is. Honesty is the biggest part of any successful relationship and I fell like Emily was not able to be honest with Wyatt through most of the book.


This is the first book by Jill Shalvis that I have read, but I can guarantee that I will be checking out more of them in the near future. I definitely recommend this book to all my fellow romance lovers.
