Need You for Keeps (St. Helena Vineyard, #6)
by Marina Adair
When it comes to caring for the furry residents of St. Helena, California, groomer and pet rescuer Shay Michaels can handle anything. Humans are another story, though especially Deputy Jonah Baudouin. He's the town's resident superhero: upright, uptight, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous, even when he's investigating complaints about Shay's beloved foster animals. And that spells danger for Shay, a free spirit who can't risk trusting the wrong person again.
Jonah and Shay have been circling each other ever since she came to town, and he's running out of reasons to "not" kiss her senseless. But this deputy is a straight shooter with his eye on the sheriff's badge. He can't afford to get involved with Shay, a chaos magnet with luscious curves who's liable to turn his career and his life upside down. He enforces laws. She breaks them repeatedly. Keeping her out of trouble is becoming a full-time job and it's one he hopes is never going to end.
| review | This was such a sweet read. Right away I liked Shay. Who wouldn’t love a woman whose sole purpose in life is to save strays and find their forever homes? As a pet lover she “had me at hello.” Shay is somewhat of a rebel and will stop at nothing to get her animals into good homes, even if that means stepping on the toes of the to-be sheriff Jonah Baudouin. By-the-book Jonah is drawn to Shay’s larger than life personality, and can’t quite understand why he can’t stop thinking about her, especially with her constantly breaking the law, even if it is on accident.  Together they teach each other to be better people. The attraction between the two of them is palpable. There is just enough drama to keep you enthralled without taking away from the story. "“You are strong and passionate and so damn loveable.”He ran a finger over her cheek. “You are the color in my black-and-white world, and I love every shade that you are.”" Altogether this was a sweet read for me.
