Adam Connelly has always loved the adrenaline rush, it's what go him in trouble as a kid and made him such a risk-taker as an army ranger. Adam has led a quieter life since being discharged from the military after a mission to rescue a group of British soldiers went bad leaving his unit devastated and Adam seriously injured. Now Adam and his trusty yellow lab Milo teach and train search and rescue. Haunted by nightmares, Adam resists being active in rescue but he's not one to turn his back on someone in need. First, it's a 10-year-old hanging from a cliff they stumble upon while hiking. Then Holly Reid knocks on his door.

Adam was Holly's first love and the man who broke her heart. Though the attraction is still there, she is turning to him only for help in finding her missing father. He took off into the woods on his ATV after a break-up with his girlfriend and Holly hasn't heard from him since. She's worried something has happened and needs the best tracker to help find him so she turns to Adam. Holly thinks she can keep it strictly business and Adam can't say no to Holly. It doesn't take long for the love, affection, and passion they shared to come back to life. Can Holly and Adam see past old hurts to trust in what they could have together?

RESCUE MY HEART is a wonderful addition to Jill Shalvis' Animal Magnetism series. Adam and Holly make a great couple; both are strong, smart, and brave. They rescue each other from their fears and the emotional paralysis that can result from past hurts. The time they spent getting reacquainted was honest, interesting, and passionate. I always enjoy the animals and Milo was adorable. I also love revisiting characters introduced in the earlier books in the series, though the story works well as a stand- alone. All in all, RESCUE MY HEART is a must read for fans of the Animal Magnetism series.
