RESCUE MY HEART by Jill Shalvis is book #3 in her Animal
Magnetism
series. This is the story of Adam Connelly who came back from the
National Guard two years ago after a traumatic mission. He is having PTSD
issues and with the help of his two brothers Dell and Brady, he is trying to
get past all his bad memories of his time in the guard. One of the things he
does to keep busy is search and rescue. One day, he is approached by his
childhood girlfriend Holly Reid. Seems her father hasn't been heard from or
seen for a few days and she is very worried. He is missing in the
mountains.
Adam agrees to help her, but that is all. He does not want a repeat of their
past and has no intentions of getting involved with her again. Adam broke
Holly's heart all those years ago and she has never quite gotten over him.
Also, Adam doesn't want to let Holly back into his heart for fear of hurting
her all over again. Adam thinks he is damaged goods and not good
enough for Holly. She agrees to his terms and off they go to search for her
dad. As the search goes on, Holly realizes how foolish she was to think
she still didn't have feelings for Adam. Once again, he tells her he is
emotionally unavailable and Holly decides to take matters into her own
hands. They both learn that the passion and feelings they had for each
other as teenagers, never went away. They also have to let go of their
pasts so they can move on with their future.
I loved RESCUE MY HEART and this is now one of my favorite series. Jill
sure knows
how to leave you wanting more and now I have to wait for the next book.
This book will make you laugh out loud and will make you want to fall in
love with your own Adam. How can you not fall in love with a hero who
loves animals. You can read RESCUE MY HEART on its own, but you
won't be sorry if
you start at the beginning with book one, Animal Magnetism. Jill's writing is
spot on and she makes you feel like you are right there in the book and that
these people are your family.
After a tragic stint in the National Guards, Adam Connelly
returns to Idaho and to Belle Haven, the animal shelter he
owns with his brothers. All Adam wants is to be alone.
Then he opens the door to the past—the woman whose heart
he once broke. Still gorgeous, still tough-as-nails, but
this time, unusually vulnerable.
Holly learned the hard way to never depend on a man for
anything. Now, of all men, it’s the last one she wants to
see, and the only one she needs. Her father has gone
missing in the Bitterroot Mountains and she could use
someone with tracking skills to help find him.
For Holly and Adam, each with their ghosts, a trek this
desperate, this unpredictable, and this intimate, will
have its share of risks—including opening their hearts one
more time.
