It's one of those good, happy reads you need when you're hitting pretty low on the moods. ( )

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: A man and woman with a complicated past find a second chance at romance in this Animal Magnetism novel from New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis.

After a tragic stint in the National Guards, Adam Connelly returns to Idaho and to Belle Haven, the animal shelter he owns with his brothers. All Adam wants is to be alone. Then he opens the door to the past—the woman whose heart he once broke. Still gorgeous, still tough-as-nails, but this time, unusually vulnerable.

Holly learned the hard way to never depend on a man for anything. Now, of all men, Adam is the last one she wants to see, and the only one she needs. Her father has gone missing in the Bitterroot Mountains and she could use someone with tracking skills to help find him.

For Holly and Adam, each with their ghosts, a trek this desperate, this unpredictable, and this intimate, will have its share of risks—including opening their hearts one more time. ( )

Oh, my goodness, I don't think I have ever come across two such shallow characters before! Holly and Adam spent 99% of the time thinking about the physical attractiveness of the other. I couldn't believe it. Milo, the 10 month old labrador, drooled far less than those two did. Gag! After ten chapters I couldn't go any further. If this is typical of women's fiction, then this genre is definitely not for me. ( )

3.5 stars. Rescue My Heart by Jill Shalvis is a steamy second chance at love romance between Adam Connelly and Holly Reid. To read my review in its entirety, please click HERE. ( )

After a tragedy, Adam leaves Holly to join military. He's back, recov ering from PTSD when she comes to him to help her find her father. The sparks fly hot and heavy and these two just need an excuse to be together. Cute dog moments. Nice lovers who find their way back to each other after a break years ago. Many cute moments.
