"Lost and Found Sisters"

"Lost and Found Sisters" is the first book I've read by Jill Shalvis but it has left me wanting to read more of her novels.

Quinn Weller has been adrift since losing her younger sister in a car accident.  They were close in age and the best of friends.  She has loving parents, her dream job in a Los Angeles eatery, and  a long-time friend/boyfriend anxious to marry her (just as her and his parents are also anxious for that to happen).

Quinn's life changes in a minute, though, when a lawyer approaches her to tell her that she was adopted at birth and her birthmother has just died and left her a small cafe in the small town of Wildstone, CA (a few miles north of L.A.) and a teenage younger sister.

She confronts her parents as to why she was never told she was adopted and on an impulse heads to Wildstone to learn more about her mother, her inheritance, and her younger sister.  It's not all a bed of roses as she tries to connect with her grieving sister and become her custodial "parent."  She also finds herself reopening her mother's restaurant and learns there are no secrets in Wildstone!  Then she meets Mick who has a partnership in San Francisco but is reluctantly back in Wildstone regularly to help his mother after his dad's death.  Sparks fly between he and Quinn.  Will a blossoming romance and a younger sister who needs her be enough to keep Quinn in Wildstone?  Will she be able to resolve her conflicting emotions and forgive her adoptive parents?  There is a lot of depth to this story and it rings true to me having worked in the field of adoption and being an adoptive mother myself.  pazt
