All I Want, Animal Magnetism #7, by Jill Shalvis
Grade: B

Zoe Stone has not been lucky in love but she's ready to finally put herself back out there. When her blind date shows up she decides to follow her sister's advice and kiss the sexies man she's ever laid eyes on. To Zoe's shock the man turns out to not be her date but her brother's best friend Parker James. Parker is staying with Zoe while he takes a much needed vacation from his job but now Zoe has to deal with keeping her hands off her new house guest.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Special Agent Parker James knows he's not supposed to be in Sunshine, Idaho chasing the one man that got away but he just can't let him go. Much to Parker's surprise Zoe is not like anything her brother said she was and he soon finds himself seeking her out to help him in his mission. As the attraction builds neither one can stay away from each other even though they both know there is no hope for them in the future.

I love this series so much and was so excited to finally get Zoe's story! The book starts off with a bang right away with Zoe mistaking Parker for her blind date and it just gets better from there. I really enjoyed the banter between these two and felt like they actually spent the time to get to know one another and open up about their pasts. Add in their adorable dog and kittens and I was hooked.

There is a lot more action and adventure in All I Want than previous books and it was a great addition. I liked that I couldn't guess what would happen next and all of the twists and turns that the plot took. Zoe and Parker are by far one of my favorite couples of the series and it was a blast to read about them. I highly recommend not only this book but this series for all lovers of romance but especially contemporary fans.
