These are characters you won’t forget anytime soon. This has been such a fun series, riddled with serious issues that only Shalvis love and romance can overcome. I enjoyed the interaction between Holly’s brother and best friend, and am hoping their story is in the making. Then add in all those little details – Adam’s PTSD his best friends, his brothers and rescue dog Holly’s father, brother, and ex-husband – and you are in the middle of a story that won’t let go until that longed-for happily ever after is finally acknowledged. That pulls the emotion out of the reader, giving them a deeper understanding of the characters. Jill Shalvis is so good at giving readers such real people with real and emotional issues. There’s a lot of history between them and this time they’re not going to be able to outrun their needs for each other. She deserves better than the broken man he’s become, but with her the darkness recedes and all things become possible. Holly discovers why Adam left her so long ago, something he never wanted her to know. It’s being together on such an emotional journey that brings all their past back to them, good and bad. Seeing him again will be difficult, but Holly is her own woman now and her dad has to come first.

Holly is also back in town, working with her father and licking the wounds her ex-husband caused.Worried that she hasn’t heard from her father since he left on one of his mountain treks, Holly goes to the one person she knows can find him. Relaxation is not to be, however, when a blast from his past shows up at his door, asking for a favor and stirring old emotions Adam knows he’s probably better off without. Having just come off a last-minute, out-of-the-blue rescue, Adam wants only to be alone to work out the demons that pop up every now and again. He’s still healing but also helps out as part of local rescue teams and trains rescue dogs. And I’m so happy that the series is continuing with another book out in August.Īdam has returned to Belle Haven after tragedy hit his National Guard team. Jill Shalvis never disappoints when it comes to thoroughly likable characters and great romance to bring them together. I’ve had such fun with them since the series started. It’s so good to be back with the folks at Belle Haven. Sandy M’s review of Rescue My Heart (Animal Magnetism, Book 3) by Jill ShalvisĬontemporary Romance published by Berkley 6 Nov 12
