Review-

Books like All I Want is one of the many reasons I love Jill Shalvis. Her books just make me happy and always leave me with a big smile on my face. All I Want is the seventh instalment in Jill Shalvis' Animal Magnetism series but it can totally be read as a stand alone. I would in fact, recommend this read and skipping over a few others if you don't want to get into the entire series.

Zoe is our heroine. She is a pilot-for-hire. Zoe is the eldest of three siblings and now that her brother and sister have moved out and found the love of their lives she's feeling a bit lonely. But things change when Parker comes crashing in. I loved Zoe. She was such a sweet and determined heroine. She knew what she wanted and was so honest and straight forward with her feelings.

Then we have Parker. Parker was the perfect combination of stubborn and protective. He couldn't deny that he was fascinated by Zoe and that she brought light into his life but he was also aware that things always got dangerous when he was around. I really adore Parker's relationship with his sister and with Zoe's dog Oreo. Him adopting two tiny kittens was cute beyond compare.

The way Parker and Zoe meet was funny yet cute. They have an undeniable attraction and everyone can see their chemistry. Though Parker keeps on insisting that nothing can be permanent between them Zoe gets under his skin. I loved the conversations Zoe and Parker shared. They were hot and sexy and just meant to be together.

I liked the little bit of action and suspense elements we got with All I Want. That was a little bit different but it didn't take away from Zoe and Parker's love story. We also get to see some of the previous couples from the series and that is always nice. All I Want was an amazing feel good read for me.

Review- Still The One by Jill Shalvis

Summary-

Darcy Stone is game for anything — except sexy Navy veteran and physical therapist A.J. Colten, the guy who'd rejected her when she'd needed him most. Now the shoe is on the other foot and he needs her to play nice and help him secure grants for his patients. Unfortunately, Darcy can't refuse. She needs the money to fund her passion project: rescuing S&R dogs and placing them with emotionally wounded soldiers.

A.J. admits it — Darcy is irresistible. But he's already been battle-scarred by a strong-willed, vivacious, adventurous woman like Darcy, and he's not making the same mistake twice—until he and Darcy are forced to fake a relationship. Growing closer than they'd ever imagined possible, Darcy and AJ have to ask themselves: how much between them is pretend? What's the real thing? And where does it go from here?

Review-

I LOVE Jill Shalvis and her books to pieces so obviously, I got to her latest, Still the One when it came out. Still the One is the sixth book in the Animal Magnetism series. I really enjoy the Animal Magnetism series, maybe not as much as I did the Lucky Harbor one but still. Darcy and AJ were a fun couple to read about and I enjoyed Still The One.

Lets start with Darcy. Things changed in Darcy's life when she met with an accident eleven months back. Now she is recovered because of her physical therapist AJ and though she can feel the sparks between them she doesn't want another rejection. I really liked Darcy. She was always prickly towards AJ but that is only because she wanted to protect herself. I loved how we got to see Darcy's vulnerabilities and see her for who she really was.

Then we have AJ. AJ is a physical therapist who works hard for his patients. AJ has a major attraction towards Darcy but he is not willing to do anything with his best friend's little sister. I really liked AJ. He was stubborn and protective and always there for Darcy even when she pushed him away. But I would have really liked more. I can't exactly put my finger on what was missing.

AJ and Darcy have sparks flying all over the place. They have an undeniable chemistry and the tension between them is for everyone to see. Darcy and AJ had constant arguments and back and forth conversations going on. But there was always an undercurrent of attraction between them. They understand each other so well and always want the best for each other.

Darcy and AJ were both stubborn but that is what made them so perfect for each other. I loved seeing Darcy's siblings, Wyatt with his better half and Zoe whose book is next. Jill Shalvis always writes amazingly sweet and sensuous books and Still the One was no exception. I really liked Still The One.

Review-

I think I start almost all of my reviews of any Jill Shalvis' books by saying what a huge fan I am of hers. There is a really good reason behind it, Then Came You, the latest installment in her Animal Magnetism series being one of them. I loved loved loved this book. I didn't want it to end. It was such a sweet and heart warming book!

Emily always lives by a plan. She had plans of going to the LA clinic but instead has ended up in the small town of Sunshine, Idaho. To top it off she finds out that Wyatt, her one one-night stand is going to be her supervisor, for a year. I loved Emily. She was sweet, a horrible liar and she always looked out for her loved ones. I found her denial of what was between Wyatt and her really funny.

Then we have Wyatt. He is what made the book for me. He had this quiet intensity about him. He was awful at expressing himself but I loved his slight goofiness and his all around protectiveness of Emily and his sisters. Wyatt was sexy yet sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between Emily and Wyatt.

Emily and Wyatt have incredible chemistry which flies right off the pages. On the surface they may look like two people with completely different life goals but they just match. It was like they completed the insufficiencies in each other. I could go on reading about them. They were that good.

I also loved seeing Jade, Dell, Adam and everybody else. Both Emily and Wyatt's sisters made for a hilarious and supportive cast. I'm really curious to see if AJ and Darcy get a story. Jill Shalvis' writing is engaging and funny. I love going in any of her worlds time and again. I thoroughly enjoyed Then Came You.
