Smart and Sexy by Jill Shalvis
3.0

In typical Jill Shalvis style, we have a tough as nails alpha hero and a slightly ditzy woman in trouble. The action is fast-paced and heart pounding and the resolution sweet and satisfying.

If you're new to Jill Shalvis, I would NOT recommend this as your introduction. While it is filled with sexy, mouth watering responses, I found Noah to be a little too "base." Taking advantage of an exhausted, frightened woman bothers me. The way he imposed himself on her bothered me, in a way none of Jill's other alphas has. In her other novels, the heroines invited the attention. In this one, the heroine did not. She shied away from it.

With that being said, I still enjoyed the story, almost as much as her others. I'm a die-hard fan and will keep reading, but this one is not my favorite.
