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.
