A review by karlabrandenburg
Instant Attraction by Jill Shalvis

5.0

I have yet to read a Jill Shalvis book I don't like.

Katie has survived a bridge collapse, in fact she is the sole survivor. So what does she do? Takes off to LIVE her life rather than walk blindly through it. And she finds the adventure of a lifetime in snowboarder Cameron Wilder.

Cameron Wilder has survived a near-death experience of his own, but rather than embrace his second chance, he looks at what he's lost, rather than what he still has.

Together, they combust under the sexual attraction that pulls them together, and in a surprising twist of who's more emotionally scarred than who, they must find a way to move on toward their happily ever after.

For me, the success of Jill Shalvis's novels lies in her depth of character, in seeing right into their souls, and in some cases, seeing through the eyes of the people around them, past the lies the characters tell themselves. Adventurous, sexy, and heart-warming.
