Summary
Veterinary
intern Emily can’t believe she wound up in the small town of Sunshine, Idaho,
instead of the Los Angeles clinic she had always imagined. Now she has to put
her plans to move to L.A. on hold for a whole year while she fulfills the
obligation of her vet school scholarship.
Then Wyatt, her
gorgeous one-night stand from a Reno vet conference, introduces himself as her
new boss. And Emily is just as drawn to his seductive looks and quiet strength
as she was on that very steamy night. She soon learns that Wyatt isn’t just a
laid-back doctor, but a delicious alpha male tempting her away from her
carefully laid-out plans...
Excerpt
Emily sat on a
fallen log and leaned back. When she was little, she’d loved to try to star
watch. In LA, this was tricky because of all the city lights, not to mention
smog. Doing it here, in the land of the big sky, was a whole new ball game.
“I’m not lonely,” she said to the horse, who snorted again and swished his
tail.
“Good. Cuz
you’re not alone.”
Two long legs
came into her peripheral. Wyatt crouched at her side and looked into her face.
“How are you?”
“Fine,” she
said.
Nodding, he sat
on the log at her side and leaned back, presumably to look at whatever she was
looking at. “Pretty night.”
His hands were
behind him, his shoulder and a part of his chest brushing her arm and shoulder.
Actually it was more like he was encircling her within his arm span, which was
considerable. It was a guy move, an alpha guy move, and it made her feel ...
protected.
She was getting
far too used to that, she thought with a sigh. “Where is everyone?”
“Gone,” he said,
and there was an odd quality to his voice that had her taking a second look at
him. He didn’t take his gaze off the sky so she got him in profile, the tousled
hair, the fine lines crinkling the corners of his eyes from long days out in
the sun, the square, scruffy jaw. A broad shoulder built to take on the weight
of the world.
He’d been
working his ass off, here at Belle Haven, helping Dell take up the slack for
the out-of-town Jade, and then going home and helping his sisters with the
monstrous house they were fixing up. He did so much for everyone, and she found
herself wanting to do something for him. Make him smile. Make him relax. Make
him forget, even for a few minutes… She nudged him with her shoulder.
He nudged her
back and turned to look at her then, his eyes dark and unfathomable behind his
glasses.
Chickening out,
she turned her head this time, and stared up at the sky as he had been only a
few seconds before.
“Emily.”
When she didn’t
tear her gaze off the stars, he leaned in and nipped her ear.
Sucking in a
breath, she looked at him again. His was still dark, but there were things
swirling in those dark depths now. Need. Heat.
Affection.
He stole her
breath.
“Let the record
state,” she said, reaching out to snatch off his glasses, “that I don’t always make
the first move.”
He blinked in
momentary confusion, and probably also because he could no longer see. He
opened his mouth to say something, but she sank her fingers into his hair and
kissed him, hard and long and deep.
“Emily,” he said
when they broke for air, his voice rough and husky.
She climbed into
his lap and then pushed him backwards off the log so that he fell to his back
in the wild grass with her straddling him.
Laughing, he
slid his hands beneath her top and up her back, drawing out a delicious shiver
from her. Then his hands slid slowly down her spine, and into the backs
of her jeans. “Let the record also state,” he said in a delicious growl.
“Who made the rest of the moves.”
My review:
Another flirty fun romance from the fabulous Jill Shalvis. How can two people with control issues overcome the incendiary chemistry and get on with the life they think they want? They can't. They had a night at a conference in Reno and never expected to see each other again. Life laughs at plans. And Jill Shalvis will have you laughing when you read Then Came You. I like that each book is stand alone and makes you want to go back and revisit with old friends.
