DNF around 30%Cocky hero Annoying heroine Thanks but no thanksI finally came to realize that this author’s writing style didn’t work for me whatsoever And this book was not to my taste either I honestly couldn’t warm up to the heroine Lilah There was something about her that really got on my nerves It seemed like she tried to be funny but it came out weird forced and fake insteadThe final straw that made me decide to uit reading this one was that Lilah deliberately pretended not to know that Twinkles wasn't Brady's dog It’s unacceptable and very disgusting to use an animal as a pawn in someone’s game Wasn’t she the least bit concerned about this little dog? Oh please and this was a woman who owned and operated a kennel To tell you the truth I was under the impression that she was an animal lover But after seeing what she did all I can say is HELL TO THE NO ArghI’m out

A fun read full of hot steamy lovin' and a hero that is pure sin on a stickI love fierce and protective alpha heroes and Jill Shalvis has created one of my favorites Brady Miller Ex Army Ranger pilot and kisser extraordinaireLilah Young is adorable Independent smart loyal fun and very compassionate Not only does she have a deep love of animals she also loves her junk foodThis story had all the elements needed to make it work for me and was such a fun read What makes this a favorite were the characters Brady and Lilah are perfect for each other He was someone who always kept his emotions in check yet Lilah seemed to make him crazy and was always messing with his mind He made her yearn and burn as well as want And Brady Miller is an easy man to desire Tall gorgeous with a body of pure muscle It's easy to see why Lilah wanted to strip him naked and lick him like a lollipop But there's much to Brady than mere eye candy I found this to be a little gem filled with laugh out loud moments tenderness hot smexing and a fabulous cast of secondary charactersA great beginning to another promising series

I really liked this It was so cute and charming That's really the only way I can describe it Then the sex started And it's like it's all the same It's all about her He pleasures her with his mouth before they do it The only times she's even touched his penis was during first sex scene when she rolled a condom on him Then they do it in same position Boring And the scenes always from her pov Maybe because the target audience is women?As a gay man I found it too simple and repetitive to be interesting and I want some details about the guy Not all about the guy I just expect the scenes to be eual guy and girl Is that too much? And omg the term wet folds please stop using that it seriously grosses me out Anyway the first forty percent was great but now that the sex is going I'm losing interest and it feels like it's just dragging along now And the timeline is really jumpy That's distracting It jumps days and sometimes it skips three days ahead a short random scene and skips four days and its just Like huh? WTF? Really? And sex in the old couples small guest bathroom? Again really? Why? WTF? Gross Not sexy at all Everyone's a model in this town All the guys are super sexy studs with smooth tongues that make girls wet their panties so much the fabric disintegrates And the girls are all curvy and dress like they should be in designer magazines I have never been in a small town like that and it's hard to like a story when no one seems real I get it the MCs have to be stunningly perfect but can't there be a few side characters that are just normal? Eh the cliché you almost died and now I know I love you Dull The good old pull out method a favorite by teen moms everywhere But it's okay because she likes being reckless Uh there are other things you can get from a slut the manslut besides just pregnant ya know? By the time it got to the big emotional ending I didn't care if Brady left or not The sex had ruined my enjoyment of the story completely I was just read for it to be over The ending sucked view spoiler first it was just so cliche I kept rolling my eyes at all the sappy lines Then he decides he will keep visiting L between jobs? So what he sees her every coup months? What's he going to do when he's around the world and horny? He showed absolutely no control over his libido so I can't even see this as a hfn hide spoiler

Disclaimer The rating for this book is based solely on personal preference and not on any shortcomings in the writing or the authorJill Shalvis is an author many adore and have encouraged me to read This was my first attempt and I'm afraid I may have picked up the wrong book to start with The synopsis sounded perfect right up my alley small town love story between the owner of the local kennel and an ex military pilot with lots of animals and humor added in What's not to like right? The problem for me was in the fact that I couldn't find an actual storyThe book starts with Lilah h accidentally rear ending a total stranger's truck He offers to give her a ride home she accepts and they end up in a long and heated make out session within minutes reality check here what intelligent woman would jump into a stranger's truck then immediately start making out with them OK without it being her profession?? At this point Lilah decides it's been awhile since her libido has had any fun so why not enter a no strings attached month long fling with said stranger What follows is 275 pages of a 295 page book of sex Now for those who are looking for and enjoy reading about nothing but sex this is undoubtably the perfect book and would rate a rousing 5 stars For those like me who are story driven readers and reuire some kind any kind of feelings or emotion before diving into the sexcapades this book shouldn't even be considered There just isn't much else there well until the last 20 pages where of course they realize it hasn't all just been fun and gamesAgain let me reiterate I have absolutely nothing against those who bow at the alter of Shalvis I totally understand I even admire her for keeping her characters honest to their natures she never suggested her heroine was anything other than what she was She didn't yammer on about the heroine being a strong independent woman who would never consider anything but a deep meaningful relationship then strip her brains and toss her into bed the minute she sees a hot guy What she writes she writes well This particular premise just isn't my cuppa I have one book of hers waiting to be read so I may give it one try

A light contemporary read with plenty of laugh out loud moments and a good dose of steam It started a bit slow and overall the story was uite predictable but once the story got rolling and the clothes started falling I was hooked I may have had higher hopes for this story as I love the author's other series a bit Lucky Harbor but while it didn't 'wow' me as much I still highly recommend it for a nice beach type read So if you're in the mood for steamy fluff and a hot romance this one could be a winner

4 Animal Magnetism Stars I have read this book before but I haven’t listened to the audio and I gotta say I loved it the second time I was in the mood for a sweet but smexy romance and this was right up my alley I didn’t want anything too emotional because I know my next book is going to break my heart So Lilah and Brady’s was exactly what I needed She is so guarded with her emotions and she doesn’t let people in because she is afraid they are going to leave once she loves them And Brady hasn’t really had roots He thinks of the guys as his brothers but he never really had the itch to say in one place until he meets Lilah and everything he thought he knew gets turned on its headLike I said this is a sweet romance I love the animal touch it’s pretty adorable to say the very least Also I enjoyed the narrator I think she does a great job Though sometimes I think her voice was a little old for some of the voice but you get over that pretty fast You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion and I am allowed to have it

Sexy pilot for hire aka doesn't stay anywhere for very long hero Brady goes to the small town of Sunshine to visit his foster brothers and meets the spunky sensitive she cries for weeks when she places pets in new homes heroine with a heart of gold Will he stick around this time? Will she finally get a break and overcome the ghosts of her past? Actually that sounds interesting than it is Will anything EVER happen in this book?Well the answer to the last uestion isNo There is no plot here this book is all character driven Which is fine when the characters are interesting and unfortunately both the hero and heroine fell flat for me I could say that the issue is with me and that I just don't like contemporary romance or small town romance but that's not the only problem I just didn't care about the characters and whether they hooked up or notThere were parts that really irritated me and unfortunately it turned out that I couldn't get past them The first kiss instead of being hot came off to me as slutty I hate using that word especially when it's just about a kiss but I can't think of anything else I get it that it's a small town and prospects are slim but really? Practically dry humping a guy you just met because he's hot and offers you a ride and a Snickers bar? At least talk to him for a couple of hours first I just kept thinkingWait did I accidentally skip a few pages? Are pages missing? Did they just go through a time warp? Yeah for me it just felt completely out of placeThen there is our heroine Lilah We learn that she still misses her dead G Ma and some boy in college did a number on her and she's still reeling from that too She has two friends that act as older brothers or gatekeepers to her social life making it difficult for her to just have smexy fun but she still managed to have a brief fling with her business partner Cruz But that's ok 'cuz they are still friends She's looking for 'something' but she can't uite put her finger on it Oh wait She can But she didn't count Cruz because she didn't ache for himShe wanted to ache dammit Yeah Ache Well with the kiss and the ache followed by the crying 'cuz she gets so attached the animals she rescues when she places them in a good home followed by the repetition of devastation over G Ma's death and that college boy and now I'm completely out of the story and looking at my watch wondering if I should dust or vacuum or do the dishesThen there are the cute animal interactions Unfortunately that might have worked in a movie format but while reading these scenes became too cutesy and were repeated ad nauseam to the point that I was really looking forward to duck soup and bacon Which brings me to the point that to me this whole story came off as a mediocre Lifetime Movie Channel romance that I'm supposed to like just because I'm a female who enjoys romances Sorry Unlike the heroine apparently I'm not that desperate Another reviewer but it nicelyThis is a small town romance with a larger than life hero that will find twue wuv with the spunky local heroine and they live HEA Unfortunately the characters just fell flat and this whole story just didn't work for me The good news is that it's a cute cover and I got some house cleaning done Now if I could just stop thinking of a thick juicy BLT
