 Let me state right up front that I'm a sucker for Jill Shalvis' brooding, hot, stoic, troubled heroes. I can't help it, I want to "fix" them even when I know they really don't need to be fixed, and they just need the right woman. Luckily Jill is great at finding the right woman for them and she really hits it out of the park in Rescue My Heart. Anyone who has read the first two books in the Animal Magnetism series has seen glimpses of Adam and knows he's home from the war, he suffers from PTSD, and while he's working at getting better he's still has some issues. In this book, we see his issues first hand and also see him realize that healing takes place in different ways. 
 I don't even know where to begin with Adam Connelly; he's a decorated war hero, a SAR operator, an expert dog trainer, a tracker, and despite what he thinks; he's a decent guy. He's suffers from PTSD although he is getting better, he still has his triggers. When Holly Reid asks him to find her missing father; a man who gave him a job, advice and money when he needed it, he can't say no. Although he tells her she can't go, she has other ideas (and some help from his brother). 
 Holly hates that she has to ask the one guy who broke her heart so many years ago to find her father. But, she has a bad feeling and she's willing to overlook her distaste of Adam to find her dad. She expects him to say no, which he does but that doesn't stop her. To say that their journey is interesting is putting it mildly. 
 These two together are as hot as they are amusing. I absolutely love the interplay between them, the innuendos, the banter, the jabs, the hot stares, the kissing, the fondling, the sex.....oh man do I love the sex. Despite the many years apart, they obviously remember each other well and use that knowledge to torment each other into a sexual frenzy. But please, don't think that's all there is to this book because the story is quite amazing. They were kids when they were together before, as adults it becomes very clear that they both have done a lot of growing up and it was interesting watching them discover each other in a new light. 
 I appreciated that Adam took Holly seriously; he didn't discount her worry about her father. I also like that he understands the changes she's made and why she's made them. While he fears that she made the biggest mistake of her life because of him, he doesn't judge her and he's proud of the way she's handled things on her own. 
 When Holly realizes the extent of Adam's PTSD, she doesn't try to coddle him or try and make him feel better. She just works with him to get through the situation. I also really love that when she realizes she is trying to force Adam to change, the way that other people wanted her to change, she backs off immediately. I give her a lot of credit for giving him space to work things through despite her own feelings and in reality it's exactly what he needs. 
 The supporting cast was equally entertaining and fun including all the animals! You have to love the animals in this story and personally I want a Milo for my very own although Thing One and Thing Two are pretty darn cute as well! 
 Once again, Jill Shalvis has written an outstanding story about healing, hope, and the power of love. Rescue My Heart brings a serious issue to the forefront but shows us that confronting it helps, having people who understand is monumental, and with enough laughter, love, and tenacity life not only goes on, it gets better!
