Instant Attraction

- Jill Shalvis -

Grabbed this one after the great review from "Smart Bitches, Trashy Books" and, as usual, they did not lead me astray!

Shalvis's latest represents a huge leap forward from some of the earlier stuff I have read from her in terms of characterization and story development.

Both Cam and Katie came across as real people, aware of their flaws and shortcomings and trying to acknowledge and overcome them. Most refreshingly of all, they talk about and acknowledge their issues to each other. Consequently their relationship seemed incredibly realistic, well developed and sustainable not to mention sexy as hell.

I also really enjoyed the family dynamics set up both with the Wilder family and the small town they live in, a dynamic that Katie quickly found herself embracing and being embraced by.

Am really looking forward to the next in the series - Instant Gratification.
