Animal Attraction by Jill Shalvis
3.0
Jade Bennett is hiding from something... She sticks out in Sunshine, Idaho like a sore thumb. Her heels are high and her clothes aren't Carhartts. But Dell Connelly is appreciative of the fact that she has taken his disorganized vet clinic and ruthlessly put everything into spread sheets and to-do lists.
Jade showed up in town eighteen months ago and has gotten friendly with Dell and his brother as well as their friend Lilah. Dell hasn't been pushing to learn her secrets because he understands the need to keep some things private. Also, there seems to be a spark between the two of them that he's instinctively shying away from. He's a lone stallion who specializes in one night stands and, besides, Jade is leaving soon.
This book was really good. I wish some of the subplots hadn't been there (women chasing after Dell) and I wish we had learned a little bit more about why Jade was so averse to therapy. She had a fairly traumatic event and it seems like a fairly obvious choice for someone from her background. I also wish we had seen more interaction with her and her father. Their one major scene was touching, but less than a page long.
Love Jill Shalvis. Her books don't suck me in like Jennifer Crusie or Susan Elizabeth Philips' best works but she is a steady writer who you can depend on to have a great story with relatable characters.
