I love Jill Shalvis. Absolutely adore her. The Animal Magnetism is one of my favorite series.

I had a bit of trouble getting into this story. While I still found the storyline to be funny and real, I didn't connect to Darcy as much as the other female main characters. But I did enjoy AJ, very much so!

Jill knows how to engage readers through plot and dialogue. I find myself wanting to live in small towns because Jill knows how to write them so well. She lures us readers into wishing we had these lives, with minimal stress and anxiety and filled with love and kindness.

As always I enjoyed this book and really any book this author has written. This book was well written and tied into the other books in the series well.

It took a while for anyone to explain what actually happened to Darcy. I thought that her wild ways were what got her hurt, but it turns out it was much less complicated. Although A.J. had experienced someone not accepting his love after they were injured, I thought him putting that on Darcy wasn't really nice of him. He has such an open heart about so many things, to have him a little closed off about that was sad. But I still got it.

Darcy had many more years of her parents neglect to overcome her issues and she seemed to have a clearer perspective.

It was also not cool what her friend did to her, knowing her history. She was a much nicer person than I was by forgiving him so easily.

I am really enjoying this series. I need to read more by this author.

A story with two people that can drive other people crazy. What they do to each other they have to figure it out themselves. Darcy wears rock and roll tank tops and drives people away with her brash and harsh personality. The people that stay around are her brother and sister, Xander a friend and A. J. who was her Physical Therapist but now sees her as strength for all that she has overcome and continues to everyday. Both of them have issues from the past and each are running from anything that resembles a relationship. He enjoys driving her crazy with fake bacon, made from turkey. Darcy and his father both agree that it is wrong not made with pork. Most people can get Darcy to do things if you give her a bag of gummy bears, but make sure she is doing the task first before giving her the bag. For Darcy and A.J everything change when she goes with him for a weekend to Boise and the person they met thinks they are a couple. When they play it off and met his wife the day it becomes to real, and they both freak out. The difference is that when they get back he tells her about his ex and what had happened. Latter when he tells her that he loves her she freaks out more. She does not think she is worthy of love. She saves rescue dogs who are being put out of service, but she does not think of herself as worth saving. When she finds out that A.J. walked away from grant money to rescue her again she has to show him that she loves him and is willing to take a risk as well. A very good book and as someone who deals with pain I could relate with Darcy and her daily living. Overall a very good book with good characters.

Another great book from Jill Shalvis. The main characters are so likeable you just can't help but enjoy it.
