Still the One (Animal Magnetism, #6) by Jill ShalvisLength: 9 hrs and 41 mins
Date Read: April 7th 2015
More Information: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?

First Thought when Finished: Still the One by Jill Shalvis was fun, sexy, emotional, and sweet. Just what I have come to expect from this series!
Overall Thoughts: Darcy and A.J. took a little bit to warm up to but overall their love story was just what I expect from this series: a bit sassy, fun, emotional, and smoldering. I really love the world of Animal Magnetism and enjoyed getting lost in it again. If you love animals, love, romance, and characters that are a little bit damaged then you will love this series AND Darcy/A.J.!

Narrated By Karen White / Length: 9 hrs and 41 mins
Karen nails this series! I have listened to all of these on audio and wouldn’t do it any other way. Karen has a way of bringing Jill Shalvis’ voice alive and her characters that extra Umph!

During her non-reading time you can find her hanging with her rescue furr children named after book characters: Lizzie a beautiful cattle dog mix (Pound Pup), Cinder a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Pound Pup), and Minerva a beautiful Shep/Pitt mix (Foster Fail). Gathering with friends and family, attending conventions, watching movies/tv shows, rooting for the 49rs, and crocheting.

I still haven’t read a Jill Shalvis book, but this is the series I do want to try.
I enjoyed this one although there was a story discontinuity. Perhaps they fixed it in the audio as they did in the e-book. Karen did a great job with the recording.
Great review. I do need to get going on this author, I haven’t read her yet. Which book would you recommend I start with?
I have this one to read on my Kindle, I love the Animal Magnetism series too. Had a peek in to listen to the narrator – she certainly does a great job.
I need to get going on the books that I have of hers on my tbr and try more of them in audio format.
I have been wantint to read something by this author for so long. I love a good sweet chick lit type read.
I’m seriously going to have to try the audio format for this series.
Karen does this series and the Rebecca Zanetti series really well. I have enjoyed both in audio 🙂
