But when she returns home to Lucky Harbor, she finds herself distracted by her best friend, Jack Harper. In an effort to cheer up Jack's ailing mother, Dee, Leah tells a little fib - that she and Jack are more than just friends. Soon pretending to be hot-and-heavy with this hunky firefighter feels too real to handle . . . No-strings attachments suit Jack just fine - perfect for keeping the risk of heartbreak away. But as Jack and Leah break every one of their "just friends" rules, he longs to turn their pretend relationship into something permanent. Do best friends know too much about each other to risk falling in love? Or will Jack and Leah discover something new about each other in a little town called Lucky Harbor? Review: Definitely one of my favorites in the series.... - Jack and Leah have been friends for what appears to be like forever and as two best friends... there are no secrets between them, right? Well, one secret was never shared and it was the same one they both harbored on their own. The loved each other and never took the chance to explore a real relationship. Leah, emotionally damaged by her overly critical and vicious father made her confidence level be so low.... she ran away when what she strove for was within reach. Changing majors in college to going to culinary school, she never finished what she started, out of fear of failure. The failure her father told her she was. Jack, the once wild child of Lucky Harbor, has some seriously big shoes to fill. His father, a firefighter hero of this quaint town, died doing the job he loved. The loss was painful not to just his mother, but to him, too. Trying to keep the family legacy alive, he strives to be just like good, old dad. Even if his dreams did not exactly match his father's. He just did what was expected when you are a child of a hero.... You follow his lead. Leah returns to Lucky Harbor to help her grandmother heal from knee surgery. She takes on running the family bakery. Between the increased workload, she is also fending off the questions about the reality show she was on and if she won or not. With plans to run before the final episode airs, she tells a huge lie to her best friend, Jack's, ailing mother that is fighting cancer..... She tells her the one thing that would ease her mind and hopefully go into remission from cancer.... That she and Jack are a couple. This obviously causes a tailspin of gossip for the town since Jack is thrust into a "fake relationship" that ends up being real... No matter how hard they try to keep it from getting too serious. Okay, enough about what the story is about and now you get to hear my thoughts of it..... I loved the depth of characters, the small town feel, the well-placed humor (not exactly laugh out loud worthy, but definitely giggle worthy), and the controlled release of a small mystery that is happening in that small town. I really loved the connection that both Jack and Leah had as well as their failing attempts of keeping the relationship on the premise of not being a real relationship. That reveal towards the end of the book... heck all of the reveals that happened at the end of the book were what pushed this book from a 4 star "like" to a 5 star "love". I actually cannot wait to see what happens next in this series. This book had it all for me at the right levels.... humor, sizzle, secrets, and heart. I highly recommend you to get a copy and enjoy this visit to Lucky Harbor..... Review: Classic Jill Shalvis - Leah Sullivan and Jack Harper have always been best friends and each other's favorite nemesis. But when things started to change between them, Leah took off, breaking Jack's heart and her own in the process. Now Leah's back in Lucky Harbor to help her grandmother run her bakery, and she can't help but fantasize about the blazingly hot firefighter who was always there for her. But Leah finds herself in over her head when she tells a little white lie to cheer up Jack's ailing mother. No one - especially not Jack - was supposed to find out that Leah said she and him were an item. Only you can't keep secrets in Lucky Harbor, which means it's not long before Leah and Jack are stuck playing pretend for the whole town. Except it doesn't feel like pretend to either, which means that Leah has to decide if she's willing to face the ghosts of her past and stay put in Lucky Harbor with Jack. Jill Shalvis's Lucky Harbor books are always filled with humor and heart, and Always on My Mind is no exception. Ms. Shalvis takes the classic friends-to-lovers trope and turns it into something fresh and exciting. Leah is a talented pastry chef whose father has done a number on her self-esteem. As such, she tends to not finish things and doesn't like to stay put in one spot. Leah's someone I'd love to have as a friend, were she real, and it was a joy to watch her fully come into herself over the course of Always on My Mind. As for Jack...well, Ms. Shalvis knows how to write one heck of a swoon-worthy hero. Jack's charming nature keeps others from seeing the pain he hides. Having grown up in the shadow of his firefighter father who was killed in the line of duty, Jack has developed into someone who is constantly pushing himself to be something he's not. Like Leah, Jack comes into his own in Always on My Mind. Character development aside, what truly delighted me about this book was the chemistry between Jack and Leah. The two of them make a great pair and it's clear (though possibly not to them) that they were made for each other. It was easy for me to fall into this book because I liked Jack and Leah so much, both as individuals and as a couple. The road to happily ever after isn't a smooth one for them, but Ms. Shalvis makes the journey worth it. Always on My Mind is the eighth book in the Lucky Harbor series, but if you haven't read any or all of the previous Lucky Harbor books, this one can be read as a standalone. Lucky Harbor fans will undoubtedly enjoy series favorites appearing, including Sheriff Sawyer Thompson of Head Over Heels, town gossip and Facebook-loving Lucille, and At Last supporting character (and hopefully future heroine) Riley. Leah and Jack's best friends, Ali and Luke (of It Had to Be You), are strong supporting characters, and after seeing Aubrey and Ben, Always on My Mind left me more eager than ever to read the next Lucky Harbor story, Once in a Lifetime. And speaking of supporting characters, it'd be remiss of me to write about Jack and Leah's story without mentioning Jack's dog, Kevin, who steals every scene he's in and is responsible for a good amount of the hilarity in Always on My Mind. Always on My Mind is filled with love, friendship, sensuality, and fun. I absolutely adored Jack and Leah and I look forward to re-reading their story many, many times. Bring on Once in a Lifetime, because I can't get enough of Lucky Harbor!

Kimberly Review courtesy of Wit and Sin ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A+ rating..... *by S***G on September 24, 2013* My Review: Loved, loved, LOVED this book! Did I mention that I loved it? OMG...this book...it just is every single little thing I love in contemporary romance. Small town of Lucky Harbor...check. Sexy, vulnerable fireman....check. Smexy times with chocolate...check. Friends to lovers...check. Laugh out loud moments....check. Make me tear up and cry moments...check. It had it all!! This book is about Jack and Leah...two best friends who can tell each other anything except how they truly feel about each other. Been there, done that...Leah ran and broke Jack's heart. Not going there again. *sob* Seriously, there is just something so awesome about two characters who have the depth of relationship that these two do. They grew up as next door neighbors. Leah's father was mentally abusive and she would crawl in Jack's window afterwards and he would hold her while she cried. This happened through their entire childhood and teenage years. He knows her and her vulnerabilities and loves her regardless. But all those years of mental abuse took their toll...Leah can't follow through on anything...just like her father drilled into her head over all those years. She's not allowed to be happy and finishing something, anything, is beyond her capability. So she runs whenever happiness comes close. Jack has his own set of issues. He followed in his father's firefighting footsteps...and everyone is afraid that it's going to take him to the same final place...death in a fire. It's almost like he has a death wish and doesn't deserve to live any longer than his heroic dad did, despite the fact that he has a bum knee that needs to be retired and/or operated on. He also watched his mother curl up into herself when his father died. He's not willing to do that to someone else so he has tons of meaningless flings. In the midst of all this, there is a serial arsonist story. I figured that out pretty early, but it still provided for some great moments in the story and kept it even more intriguing than normal. There are so many moments....sweet, heart-wrenching, and funny...that I loved between Jack and Leah. They have an easy camaraderie because they've been friends for so long. Even during those difficult discussions, I loved the frankness and ease they had between them. It made this book simply PERFECTION to read. I spent most the book with a smile on my face and was definitely sad when it was over. This romance tops the list of my Jill Shalvis favorite couples! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/118342368-always-on-my-mind-lucky-harbor-book-8](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/118342368-always-on-my-mind-lucky-harbor-book-8) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-11-05*
