BOOK REVIEW
Playing for Keeps
Heartbreaker Bay #7
Emotionally gripping and heart-poundingly realistic, Playing for Keeps, is the seventh book in author Jill Shalvis’ Heartbreaker Bay series, and it is a must read for contemporary romance fans. It’s powerful and uplifting, and it feels profoundly personal to the characters involved in it.
Caleb is a smart, wealthy businessman who makes his living knowing what to do and when to do it, but he doesn’t quite know what to make of a cautious, guarded woman like Sadie. Not at first, at least. And Sadie? She isn’t at all sure she wants anything to do with Caleb…until the night he melts her heart by showing her a little piece of his.
With themes of family, faith, hope, love, and physical and mental health, this book takes its readers on an adventure through the minds and hearts of its characters. Filled with fun, sass, heart, emotion, and romance, this is a story that not only stays with you, but makes you question the power of the past, the influence of family, and the strength and courage it takes to overcome our greatest fears and admit our greatest weaknesses.
A brilliant and beautiful read. Absolutely loved it!

If you’re planning on falling in love…
When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.
you’d better be sure…
Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.
… someone is there to catch you.
Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.
