Book Review - The Backup Plan (Sunrise Cove, #3) by Jill Shalvis

 

Alice is excited when she comes across an unexpected windfall. She is set to inherit a dilapidated bed and breakfast that she once called home. The downside, is that she has to split her inheritance with two people from her past that she would rather forget about. Alice used to be best friends with Lauren while Knox, is the guy Alice has secretly pined for.

The terms of the will state that the three will have to work together and renovate the house and work together for one year otherwise, they will lose their share. However, each of the trio has their own heartache and history which causes tension between them. They decide to keep a set of rules to help keep the peace. As they work together, will they find what they have been looking for?

The book reads like a classic Hallmark movie with some closed door steamy parts. My favorite parts of the story is when they would add new rules and ultimately break them. The book did have some slow parts with a happy ending sprinkled with some sassy humor. I do like that there wasn't any back and forth on whether or not a couple liked each other. This book is a part of a series but, it can be read as a standalone.
