Reseñas de la Crítica

"An entertaining read and a good choice for readers who like cooing over cute animals as well as a cute romance." ( Publishers Weekly)

Jill Shalvis & Karen White are a winning combo!

Would you listen to Animal Magnetism again? Why?

I would definitely listen to this again! Both characters shined as did their supporting cast. I can't gush enough about how fantastic this book was! ANIMAL MAGNETISM is one of my favorite Jill Shalvis' books so far. I loved the setting, the two primary characters, Lilah and Brady, both of them together, the animals, the story - just everything about it!

Who was your favorite character and why?

I can't pick just one favorite character! I loved Lilah who was a true guardian angel to the animals and such a friend to everyone... but who didn't want to open her own heart. AND Brady, who had erected a seemingly impregnable wall around his heart. Somehow, Lilah got thru... They were great individually and together.

What about Karen White’s performance did you like?

Karen White's narration was perfection exemplified. She even aced the animal sounds. LOL! Every time the duck quacked, I cracked up. She seamlessly differentiated between the characters and I could always tell who was speaking just from her voice. I have picked up audios just because she has narrated them. Her performances have never disappointed. If you get a chance to listen to this book, go for it. Jill and Karen are a winning combination and, together, they create an experience not to be missed.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A romance guaranteed to leave you with a big smile...

Any additional comments?

Thank goodness, there's more of this series I haven't listened to yet; I'm definitely on it! I would highly recommend this book, indeed this entire series, to anyone who enjoys sexy, contemporary, small-town romances that will leave you with the warm fuzzies for sure!

Brady & Lila's Story

Another great story by the talented Jill Shalvis! It's got the perfect mix of humor, sassiness, love, and a touch of sadness. Can't wait to read the rest in the series!

There's no place like Sunshine, Idaho.

A fun quirky romance with great characters. And for the animal lovers out there, there are lots of them, both funny and heartwarming. This book leaves you with a good feeling at the end. I will be defiantly getting the next one. There is more to this series than Audible has recorded, so if you like this recording and the second, the book with Adam is in print. Also good to read by Jill Shalvis is Smart and Sexy, Strong and Sexy, and Superb and Sexy, but unfortunately they aren't on Audible.

Highly Recommend

I am closing out the year with just some fun reads that won't get reviewed in my normal fashion. However, I need to say that what people are saying about this series is so very true: Fun, Romantic, and HAWT! This was just an enjoyable listen all around :)

Fun light-hearted romance

I enjoyed the story and characters. Sometimes it was a little heavy handed on the "what is really important in life" message, but the characters were entertaining. I like the humor of the narration.
The reader is to be commended for knowing the correct pronunciation of timbre, which is mispronounced by so many performers. Sometimes the performance was marred by unclear character voicing, but was mostly excellent.
