Another fun and flirty romance from Shalvis. Another fantastic hero (Brady). Another fantastic heroine (Lilah). Another throughly engaging story.

Brady is a guy with no roots. He promised his friends a month, and once he fulfills his commitment, he will return to his vagabond ways. Lilah is the epitome of Miss Independence. She is constantly helping others, but will not accept help from anyone. When Brady and Lilah cross paths, he makes it clear that he is a temporary thing, and Lilah agrees to these terms. However, each of them get more than they expected.

I loved the banter. I loved the humor. I loved the grand gestures, and the last chapter! My goodness! My heart exploded, and real tears fell from my eyes. All the animals added to the fun, and I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.

When it comes to romance, Jill Shalvis is one of my favorite authors out there. So it came as no surprise to anyone that I loved this novel. What all her stories have in common is a strong, fierce heroine (and not necessarily in the I-can-kick-your-butt way), charming and sweet heroes and quaint and picturesque settings. No one does small-town and the closeness of it quite like her.

And this first book in her Animal Magnetism checks all those boxes in just the right way.

Meet Brady Miller. Brady is new to town. Or maybe that's not the right way to put it as he has no intention of staying in town for long. A couple of days, tops. On second thought, after a chance encounter with Lilah young and his brothers' enticing him with a plane to fix, maybe a month. But nothing more.

Of course, a lot can happen in a month, as Brady finds out as the undeniable chemistry between him and Lilah explodes and sends them reeling. But is a no-string-attached relationship gonna cut it for these two?

Honestly, they were just so great together. They felt like they fit, like two pieces of a puzzle. This is one of those couples that from their first meeting on page, felt right. They brought each other up, they supported each other, they were a source of strength for each other... for me, these types of relationships are the best.

And of course, the characters surrounding them were fantastic. I adored Brady's adoptive siblings, and I can already tell which direction the next books are going to take, at least with one of the couples. And let me tell you; I am looking forward to it so much!

And of course, we can't forget THE ANIMALS. So many cute, adorable or darn right wacky animals in this book, and I loved every single one of them!
