"Fall in love with Jill Shalvis! She's my go-to read for humor and heart."-- Susan Mallery, New York Times bestselling author

Beloved New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis begins a new series--Sunrise Cove--set near beautiful Lake Tahoe, with a heartwarming story of found family and love.

During the snowstorm of the century Levi Cutler is stranded on a ski lift with a beautiful stranger named Jane. After strong winds hurl the gondola in front of them into the ground, Levi calls his parents to prepare them for the worst...but can't bring himself to say goodbye. Instead, wanting to fulfill his mother's lifelong wish, he impulsively tells her he's happily settled and Jane is his girlfriend--right before his phone dies.

But Levi and Jane do not.

Now Levi's family is desperate to meet "The One." Though Jane agrees to be his pretend girlfriend for just one dinner, she's nervous. After a traumatic childhood, Jane isn't sure she knows how to be around a tight-knit family that cherishes one another. She's terrified, and a little jealous. But an unexpected series of events and a host of new friends soon show Jane that perhaps this is the life she was always meant to have.

As Jane and Levi spend more time together, pretend feelings quickly turn into real ones. Now all Jane has to do is admit to herself she can't live without the man she's fallen in love with and the family she has always dreamed of.

Family is what you make it

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022

Don't you just love it when one of your favorite authors start a new series? And you feel like coming home, all the while meeting completely new characters? That's how The Family You Make felt like to me, and I have to say that the making your own family was something I really loved about the story.

Levi and Jane do not meet under the best of circumstances, it actually might be the worst of circumstances... Cue a fake relationship that becomes very real for both of them fairly quickly, where they both doubt that they deserve love, or that what they have can be something that will continue to grow over time.

Levi's family is full of nosy people, but I loved them! And Jane's found family is so amazing I want to share it with her :)

Shalvis always manages to tug at my heartstrings, and I felt all the feels reading about Levi and Jane, and how they were able to help each other because they had emotional strength in different areas.

*** Love, love, loved it ***

I am a huge fan of Jill Shalvis. Her books never disappoint me. Levi and Jane met in an unusual way. They ended up together in a gondola at a ski resort. That wouldn't have been bad had there not been heavy winds and a near zero visibility snowstorm. As they were on their way back to the lodge the gondola stopped and they saw the gondola in front of them come off the track and crash to the ground. They were tossed around by the wind for what seemed like hours until finally things were fixed and they were back to the lodge!

This situation left a deep impression on both Levi and Jane. The two of them were very closed off to a new relationship especially Jane. She is a nurse that works around the globe with Doctors Without Borders. She never stays in any one place for very long. Because of that she never has to worry about forming any attachment to anyone or anything. She blames her childhood for all the walls she has put up.

Levi has not followed the path in life that his parents wanted him to. Because of this he always felt as if he didn't belong and was the black sheep of the family. This will be a long and rocky road for Jane and Levi. They are both hesitant to let the other in. I loved every minute of their story and did not want it to end.

Great start to this new series!

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

The Family You Make is a great start to a new series from Jill Shalvis. Jane & Levi are two strangers trapped on a ski lift during a major storm. After Levi tells his parents that he’s engaged & Jane is the one, their terrifying ordeal comes to an end. Levi now has to figure out what to tell his parents to get out of what he thought was a death bed fib. After Jane agrees to a short stint of pretending to be his girlfriend, her feelings began to deepen for Levi & his family.

I enjoy the character development & writing style of Ms. Shalvis. As always, the first book in the series introduces us to the main characters, the location & sets the scene for the series. Her descriptions of the characters & location allow you to bond with the characters & have you emotionally involved in the outcomes. After a start like this, I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Family are those people who love you, related or not!

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2022

I absolutely LOVED this book!! I usually enjoy a Jill Shalvis book, but this one was above and beyond, in my opinion. It begins when Levi, who grew up in the area, and Jane, a traveling nurse, (our hero and heroine) are stranded in a gondolla above the moountain during a storm. The gondolla ahead of them plummets to the ground, and the entire thing is shut down. Thinking they are probably going to die, Levi decides they should call their families to say goodbye. Jane swears she has no one, and prods Levi to make his call. Levi calls his mom to say goodbye, but just can't bring himself to do it. Instead, he tells her that he has met a new woman and that's whose voice Mom just heard.
Of course, they survive (wouldn't be much of a book, otherwise), and when they get back to town, Levi's family is all about meeting this woman. In yet another attempt to make his mom happy, Levi gets Jane to agree to be his pretend girlfriend and attend his parents 4oth wedding anniversary dinner in a few weeks. Oh and they should spend some time getting to know one another, so it looks real to the family. As they do, their attraction grows and both find themselves questioning how pretend this really is.
There is also lots of substory involved here, as Jane has good reason to trust no one, but has settled in with a friend she is coming to view as a sister. Charlotte has her own issues, and when she begins to fall for her next door neighbor, Matteo, theirs is also a great story. Watching these two scarred women discover that they are indeed worthy of love is a treat, as is the entire story. Oh, and my favorite part? The 40th anniversary dinner, which had me laughing out loud!

Family, Love, Friendship filled with hope. Phenomenal!!!

Jill Shalvis is a phenomenal author. I love her writing style. I love the worlds she creates with her books.

The Family You Make we are not only introduced to a new book but also a new series. We meet Jane and Levi. Jane and Levi meet under an unusual and exciting yet stressful situation. Their chemistry is undeniable. Enter a fake relationship that turns more real. I just love the Fake Relationship book trope. I really enjoyed watching Levi and Jane grow individually and together. Their journey was heartfelt.

I loved all the secondary characters especially Charlotte and Mateo. Even though Levi's family seemed very nosey and at times frustrating, I loved them. I felt as if I were actually there and not reading a book. Jill Shalvis captivated my heart and soul from page one. I cried and laughed and had many heartswooning moments. I couldn't put the book down. I became invested in The Family You Make. I felt I could relate to them personally. The Family You Make is a story of love, friendship, family and hope.

A heart stopping, dramatic and heart-warming read.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

A real treat with this book. Two interwoven stories complimenting each other. On one hand we have Jane and Levi. They bonded over a near death experience. When Levi phoned home to say goodbye he couldn’t deliver the bad news so blurted out Jane was his girlfriend instead. Now his family want to meet her. How do you solve this next dilemma? Convince her to be his pretend girlfriend. Jane has never put down roots, her upbringing makes it difficult to trust and let anyone in her inner circle. There’s something about Levi that makes her feel safe and gives her the courage to face up to life. Having always been a loner, Jane finally begins to accept she has people in her life. The more time she spends with Levi the more the lines between pretend and real become blurred. Is it enough to convince her that its time to stop running? The other story is Charlotte and Mateo. Whilst her past has defined her, she has bonded with Jane and has come to regard her as family. Although Mateo and Charlotte both have a crazy attraction for each other, it will take a great deal of courage for her to open up to Mateo and trust him with her heart. What’s not to love about this story. Right from the start it was dramatic and heart stopping. It’s also heart warming, at times funny, and I get two sensitive, caring, patient, understanding loyal guys to fall in love with. Not only is this a story of relationships, belonging and trust it is a perfect example that blood does not make a family, it’s all about who you pick.

Liked meeting Levi and Jane they met at a scary time in a gondola in the middle of a storm Levi rung his Mum wanting to hear her he lied and told her he was happy and with a girlfriend named Jane who he'd just met. After getting knocked out while saving Jane who looked after him the family want to meet her. Jane agrees though worried to have one meal but his family not being put off met Jane at different times not saying who they were in the end a happy ending came for Jane and Levi and this book brings a smile and is an easy read will reread it again

Love in Lake Tahoe

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

This was a really good emotional read with a nail biting start and a lovely warm ending. A love story for not just the main characters but their friends and family. What did shine through was Jill's love of Lake Tahoe. If you haven't read her books before you won't be disappointed, she's a great storyteller.

Not a 5 star book

Reviewed in Australia on March 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book started off well but I'm half way through and it's really starting to drag. Whole lot of angst from Jane and Charlotte, who's behaviour is often quite juvenile. They're medical professionals - haven't they ever considered having a chat with a psychologist? This story is more about the emotional connection between them than with Levi and Mateo.
Hope it improves but will give up on it soon. Waste of $13.

Family dynamics are extraordinay

Reviewed in Germany on January 23, 2022

This may be the best book by Jill Shalvis I have read and I have read most of them, just not the very first ones.
The story is well written with so much detail and humor, that you'd want to be there and be part of the family yourself.
Because of the details, it's easy to understand the difficulties people go through. It builds understanding and empathy for the ones that have problems to commit to a relationship. And there are more and more of those these days.
