After a lifetime on the move, Ivy Snow is an expert in all things
temporary—schools, friends, and way too many Mr. Wrongs. Now that she
owns a successful taco truck in San Francisco and an apartment to call
home, Ivy’s reinvented life is on solid ground. And she’s guarded
against anything that can rock it. Like the realities of a past she’s
worked hard to cover up. And especially Kel O’Donnell. Too hot not to
set off alarms, he screams temporary. If only his whispers weren’t so
delightfully naughty and irresistible.
Kel, an Idaho sheriff and ranch owner, is on vacay, but Ivy’s a spicy reason to give his short-term plans a second thought. Best of all, she’s a tonic for his untrusting heart, burned once and still in repair. But when Ivy’s past intrudes on a perfect romance, Kel fears that everything she’s told him has been a perfect lie. Now, if only Ivy’s willing to share, Kel will fight for a true love story.

Review: Wrapped Up in You is the latest installment in Jill Shalvis' Heartbreaker Bay series, and most definitely my favorite so far. Some of the other books were either too predictable or just plain boring, and most of the characters couldn't hold my attention.
With Wrapped Up in You I was engrossed in the story from beginning to end. The characters are intriguing - more Ivy than Kel, though, and I didn't care very much about his attitude towards the end of the book - and the plot has enough twists to keep pages turning.
It's predictable? Well, sort of, because we all expect a happy ending of course. But there's so much more than that. The only little thing that bothered me was how Kel and Ivy met one morning and the next day they already seem to be an item. It was just too much, too fast. But then of course the rest of the story unfolded and that detail lost importance and in the end did not stopped me from finally fully enjoying a book in this series.
Can it be read as a stand alone? Yes. Some of the characters and their background will obviously be missing but, to be honest, I don't remember that much about the previous book and I still managed to read this one seamlessly, so you will too.
Recommended.
