✩✩✩
If you’re planning on falling in love…
When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s yoga pants, he’s a suit. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.
you’d better be sure…
Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.
… someone is there to catch you.
Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.
Genre: contemporary romance

Review:
I really, really wanted to like this book. Sadly, I didn't. It started out well. Lollipop (aka Poops A Lot) is the cutest dog ever (actually, she was my favorite character in all the book), and those first few days in which Caleb and Sadie share custody of Lollipop make for a very interesting and engrossing beginning of the story.
But...as the pages went on, something happened. Or else, not much actually happens. There's a succession of scenes with Caleb and Sadie, Caleb Sadie and Lollipop, Caleb and his sisters, Sadie and her family, Sadie and her friends, etc. A few are Ok but others are quite cheesy. And none of them is particularly interesting. To put in plainly, I got bored with the book. It took me three times longer to finish it than it should have for a book of this length and I couldn't wait to get to the end and just move on.
I'm rating it with three stars because I really liked the beginning and because I loved Lollipop. But it doesn't deserve more than that, no matter who wrote it. Jill Shalvis can do better, I know she can, so I'm hoping for her next book to be amazing again.
Happy readings,
