Animal Magnetism by Jill Shalvis

4.0

It all starts with a chocolate covered doughnut, a doughnut fiend, and an abandoned dog.
Brady, pilot and single to the end of time man finds himself stuck in this crazy town straddled with a crazy little dog named Twinkles. Yes, big tough man has a dog named Twinkles. Of course he thinks the dog is the devils spawn, it does have some really bad habits. It seemed cruel to laugh at his pain but I did anyway.



He is there to help his two brother's out and leave asap and has serious commitment issues. Still Lilah, the dog rescuer manages to keep him off balance and attached to the evil little guy. She unbalances him in other ways too. Let's just say he is one lusty horn dog himself.



Lilah, was raised in this town and runs her own rescue/kennel center. She is over worked, underpaid, and a bit distracted. Which might be why she ran into Brady's truck while driving with a pig, duck and other beasties in her jeep. That turned into a ride and a shared moment of doughnut chocolate covered lust. Lick your lips good feelings all around. She is friends, nearly family with his brothers and they are protective of their friend. She is a force of nature, she strives to be the savior and to do it alone. Yes, that does cause some trouble later in the story. The two go back and forth in a semi part time relationship he is only there for a month. But don't fear this author is great at HEA's.



I really like this author. I have a couple feel good authors I like to go to when I need to lighten things and this is one. She writes about good people trying to do good things and not harm others. I finished the book feeling good, happy and smiling. Damn good work !
