Shalvis writes good characters, good chemistry, and good family dynamics; I always enjoy her books. That said, this was written in 2011, and it shows. Today's readers need to suspend their disbelief and be willing to grit their teeth and push past things that feel cringy today. Like he's a veterinarian and has the fighting skills of an MMA champ? Or Jade was "bred" to be a CFO? (Her thoughts about herself and her place in her family were just strange.) The book also plays with Jade's trauma in a way I wasn't completely comfortable with, so looking up trigger warnings might be a good idea for a sensitive reader.

I really like this series. I'm slightly redefining my 3 stars vs 4 stars, so this is getting a bump!

Lazy Saturday afternoon read. Enjoyable, but not as funny or touching as the first. Looking forward to Adam's book though!

This is definitely my favorite of the series.. Dell and Jane are just on fire!
Dell is the cute little country player and Jane is the spicy city girl.. You can't go wrong with that combination!

Cute, fun read. I liked that the point of view changed between Dell and Jade. Had a few giggles, a couple of tears and definitely some heart warming moments.
Fun easy read. Jade and Dell are likable. Although I expected Jade's history to be a little bit more complicated due to her reactions throughout the book. Would have liked a bit more character developement on Dell's end too.
Great to see Brady and Lilah and Adam making an appearance, but that should be expected since they all work together.

Hot guys running an animal hospital?!?! What's not to love?
