I read this book in quick succession from Animal Magnetism and found it far too similar. Even some of the characters random thoughts were the exact same as others in the previous book!
I also found the overall plot frustrating - as a reader I did not find Jade’s need to go home understandable or as urgent/necessary as she expressed. So very predictable ending with her wanting to go back to sunshine.
I’m hoping I’ll like the next book more.

animal attraction by jill shalvis
Jade Bennett is heading to Chicago and back home but helps out in the animal shelter in Idaho.
Dell is the native American vet and loves all the animals.
A bunch of the locals hang out together, some in pairs, some as singles and they all enjoy their time. As the book goes on we find out just how secure she feels and what she ran away from in the city.
She finds it hard to let others into her life and he's determined to crack her shell. They had a break in and some drugs were stolen. one that they use for a date rape drug and it sends shivers in her body. It's also a horse tranquilizer.
He's witnessed a few of her panic attacks and tries to hold her and talk softly to her to help her get over them. Her solution is to get in the car and drive, move away.
Because of his training in the military he can help her with learning how to protect herself and he takes her to the gym and tells her the moves she makes wrong.
Love catching up with the others in town who were also in the previous book of this series. Hot steamy sex just adds to this story..
He opens up and shows her his personal hidden world and she understands what makes him tick.

I loved Brady and Lilah's story, and was intrigued with the hints of Dell and Jade.
Well, Dell and Jade's story in Animal Attraction was fantastic. Great characters, heart warming story and a lovely happily ever after.
I look forward to more from Sunshine, Idaho.

Great continuation in the Animal series by Jill Shalvis. Jade was such a strong, independent character but behind closed doors her insecurities and fears come to light. Dell is the hunky vet in town as well as Jade's boss which means she really shouldn't be having these lusty thoughts. With only one month left before Jade returns home to Chicago, these two embark on a steamy affair that leaves both scared and unsure. Neither of them expected their affair to lead to strong feelings but can either of them get past their own fears to make their relationship last? Steamy and sexy read with a great lead in to the final story in the series. Can’t wait to read it!

I love Jill Shalvis. I will say I like the Wilder brothers series better but I really liked the vet office setting in this.

Won this book in a give away on Goodreads and so glad I did. Fell in love with not only the people but also the town that the author managed to create. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent book. I liked Jade a lot. I loved the way she ran the office, and Dell, with amazing efficiency. She used that efficiency to keep control of her life and surroundings, to compensate for the one time she wasn't in control. I loved Dell and the way he was so good with the animals. I also loved the way he treated Jade, taking care of her. It was great that he was so interested in her and what made her tick. He also did a great job of teaching her self-defense, so that she would be able to protect herself. He didn't seem to realize that he was letting her get closer than he had ever let anyone get before, and wouldn't admit it when he was called on it. Jade was also very good at keeping people at a distance, and finally started to let go near the end of her time there. I loved seeing how good they were together, and to each other. I sure hope we get Adam's story soon!

"Sunshine, Idaho, is a quiet ranching town that provides a perfect refuge for injured animals . . .
and sometimes, people.
And veterinarian Dell Connelly suspects there's a reason his clinic's uberefficient receptionist has taken shelter here.
Jade Bennett couldn't be happier to escape her well-meaning but smothering family and their expectations, not to mention the big-city jungle.
There's nothing like working with animals, having a forlorn, grumpy stray kitten make its home under her desk . . . or enjoying the gorgeous views of her ruggedly sexy boss to help her forget her past.But Dell's seductive, alluring ways have sparked an uncontrollable desire, one Jade hadn't expected to feel again.
And though Dell has never had time for love, Jade's strength and sass is the kind of call no red-blooded male can resist." (From Amazon)
My favourite novel of the series - Dell is sweet and kind and a ladies man but only one lady makes him crazy - strong and sassy Jade. I love the characters and their backstory and romance are great.
