Moonshell Beach Book Review

I was excited to get back to the Shelter Bay series when I got the rest of the books from the library.  Moonshell Beach: A Shelter Bay Novel by JoAnn Ross was the next book in my pile and I was excited to read it.  I knew that once I started that I would have trouble putting the series down again.

He no longer believed in anything.
But she believed in him.

J.T. Douchett has returned home to shut out the world and escape the memories that haunt him from his final mission as a Marine. When he reluctantly agrees to provide security for a town event, the last thing he expects is to experience unbidden feelings for Irish movie star Mary Joyce. Mary has surprised everyone—including herself—by accepting an invitation to a film festival in Shelter Bay. The Oregon coastal town immediately charms her, and an even larger surprise is encountering the stoic man who could be everything she's dreamed of.

As J.T. struggles to keep Mary at arm’s length, she reminds herself that she’s never been attracted to the strong, silent type. And having known so much sorrow, he’s afraid to risk getting close to anyone. But in Shelter Bay, even the most strongly guarded heart is no match for love. 

JT Douchett is back from his final mission with the Marines and he is trying to integrate back into Shelter Bay.  He is assigned to guard the celebrity, Mary Joyce, that is coming into town because the sheriff doesn't have the staff to do it.  Mary Joyce comes into town and he expects the Hollywood spoiled star but finds that she is more of a small town girl.  JT learns that he feels a pull to Mary which he doesn't want to answer because he wants to be alone.  Spending more time together makes it so clear how many things they have in common but you have to pick up the book to find out what happens.  I hope that you check out this book and all of rest of the books in this series.
