3-1/2 stars maybe? I liked it but it seemed to drag a bit at the end. It was obvious to both the hero and the heroine that they were in love and he was starting to think about settling down but instead of ending there it dragged on. Still it was well written and fit the bill for a fairly lighthearted romance that I was needing. ( )

I’ll be honest, I read this mostly because the cover and title slayed me! Regardless of how I chose it though, it still ended up being a fun read! ( )

Lilah is sweet, loving person who not only runs a kennel and Human Society also takes in strays and has 'accidents'. He's ex-army, pilot who never stays in one place long and finds this quirky girl with a huge heart a reason to possibly make a home in Sunshine. Cute animal moments as well

It was cute. ( )

Animal Magnetism
3.5 Stars (4 with the animals)

Synopsis
Ex-military turned pilot for hire, Brady Miller has always been a love 'em and leave 'em type until he comes to Sunshine Idaho to visit his foster brothers and encounters Lilah Young, the local kennel owner who suddenly has him questioning his choices in life.

Review
Great characters, cute animals and an intense romance but no plot to speak of.

Although Brady and Lilah have smoldering chemistry and excellent banter, their romance is predictable - at least there are no silly misunderstandings or unnecessary angst.

Lilah is an endearing heroine with her love for animals and difficulty accepting help from others. However, while I understand her attachment to the animals that she rescues, her reactions to giving them away to loving homes is definitely over the top.

Brady is a sexy, ex-military pilot with an adrenaline addiction but he is obviously at a crossroads and looking for a place to belong. Seeing him struggle with his growing feelings for Lilah is one of the best aspects of the book.

The small town dynamics are great and the secondary characters very engaging although their quirkiness quota could have been a tad higher.

Overall, a light and easy read that will have you smiling at the animal antics (which garner this an extra 0.5 star). Dell and Jade's books is next and there is obviously something very intriguing going on with them - love their snarky sarcasm. ( )
