Rescue My Heart

I really enjoyed this book. It's an easy read, only took me a handful of hours to read. I loved the characters and their interactions. I'm not a fan of the main characters having sex too early in books, however Jill did a wonderful job of not letting it change their relationship. I find that when authors have the characters have sex, it changes their relationship and almost focuses too much on that they had sex - and not worry about the emotional relationship they had before. Jill was able to allow them to have sex quite early but still maintain a continuous story on their emotional relationship versus a physical one. I really enjoyed it. I haven't read a Jill Shalvis book that I didn't like. I gave it 4 stars because of the sex too early, and there were some minor slow parts that I was able to get passed.

Love this series! I waited a long time for the final chapter of this trilogy. Another great novel by Jill Shalvis. If you are fan, you will not be disappointed. If you've never read her books, then you definitely missing out! An excellent story, wonderful characters, humour, and lots of steamy scenes - all make for a great read!

Readers who love a funny and romantic book should read this! Jill Shalvis is a terrific author and knows how to deliver this and more! I recommend this book and any book that this author has written!

My Review: LOVED this book...and Jill Shalvis remains at the TOP of my favorite contemporary authors list. Adam was part of the special forces and lost half his patrol in an ambush in Afghanistan two years before this book takes place. He's still haunted by that event and is still having issues coping. Now he trains Search and Rescue dogs, as well as organizes search and rescue events. BUT he doesn't go out on the actual missions anymore because of his PTSD. At the beginning of this book, that all changes when he is called out for a rescue where he's the closest and best bet. It's a successful rescue, but just proves to him once again that his PTSD is still lingering. But when Holly comes to him for help, there's no one else to help her and he's sure not going to let the former love of his life up on the mountain with a snowstorm coming in on her own. Holly had her heart broken when Adam left and never looked back. It broke again the next year when she jumped into a foolhardy marriage with a guy much too old for her who couldn't keep it in his pants with the young coeds he worked with every day. She's had a hard time coming back from all that, but she's older and more self-confident now. At least that's what she thinks until she truly starts interacting with Adam. He's so much more than the boy she knew...and she loved that boy. As a man, he's even more irresistible, but Holly knows that path is just asking for another heartbreak. Adam considers himself too scarred to be willing to ever go into a real relationship again. Yeah, you all know me and what I love. I do love a wounded, angsty hero and Adam is one of the best. He has all these issues, but omg, he is such a PERFECT hero. He trains dogs and his life is search and rescue. He doesn't want to hurt Holly and does everything he can to keep that from happening. Then there is a scene at the end of the book...OMG, the emotion. LOVE! Everything about him is simply panty-melting. There is so much emotion and heart to both these characters. Jill Shalvis wrote them both incredibly well and I loved every moment of their story. I have loved this series and cannot wait for Grif & Kate's book. The glimpses we saw of them in this one were awesome! CANNOT WAIT!

This was an amazing book to finish the series on. The characters had been building through the trilogy and were brought to a fantastic end. Cant wait for Jill's next book! :)
