Always on My Mind (Lucky Harbor Book 8)

The book hits both funny and touching notes seamlessly. I'm curious how Jill Shalvis approaches blending these tones without undermining either.

The sparks really fly early on, but I wondered if that was intentional or if it developed more slowly. What made the author choose this pacing for their relationship?

The small-town vibe felt so authentic and cozy. I'm interested in knowing if Jill Shalvis drew from real experiences or created the town from her imagination.
