I have read a couple of Jill Shalvis  books and I have to say I love them and now a fan, So when I was sent a copy to review I was overjoyed as this is the first book I have read from the Aminal Series.

There is one thing that reaches her heart and that the survival of all ex services dog finding new homes  as therapy dogs she buys as many as her budget allows. So when she is not saving ex service dogs she works part time in Belle Hevan for dogs and also part time in the Welliness Centre where she was treated after the car accident by the sexy AJ the one man she wanted and he rejected her  but they have unfinished business between them everyone can see that when they are in a room together, but AJ is the only one that understand the pain she goes through on a daily basis and where she puts a wall up around herself !!!!!!
