Assuie Rules

Melanie Anderson rents space from her longtime friend and mentor Sally to run her small charter service, Anderson Air. Mel lives, eats and breathes flying. She always has, and she always will. In return for a lower fee, Mel manages the North Beach Airport for Sally as well. Bills are piling up and things haven't been running smoothly for a while though, so when Bo Black steps back into the picture, Mel's full plate begins to overflow. Mel and Bo met ten years ago when they were teenagers and Bo's dad Eddie fell for Sally. Things went bad for Eddie, and subsequently Bo, and now Bo's back to find out what really happened between Eddie and Sally. Mel wants Bo out of her airport before he takes control of it and her heart. It seems she's too late though; Bo captured her heart ten years ago. Aussie Rules is a reissue. Aussie Rules has sexual tension so thick you can cut it with a knife. But what's even better than the anticipation of Bo and Mel getting together, is when they actually do. It comes in dribs and drabs. A kiss here, a touch there, its heady stuff. As packed with sexual overtones as Mel and Bo's story is, it also tugs at your heart strings for both of their troubled pasts. Surrounded by a cast of very colorful and endearing characters, including beautiful Dimi and her own heartwarming love story, Mel and Bo find something that comes pretty close to being perfect. Aussie Rules is a suspenseful, fun, and sensual story that left me smiling at the end. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

One of her best

This was one of my favorite titles by this author. The characters were both interesting and sympathetic. I routed for them to get together. It was a really good read.

Fun summer reading!

AUSSIE RULES by Jill Shalvis is the endearing tale of a high-flying, independent woman and the Aussie who broke her young heart years before. Surprisingly, he might just be what she now needs to stay grounded. ***** Melanie Anderson's entire life has always revolved around flying, even if it is on occasion flying by the seat of her pants. At 26, she is the owner of Anderson Air, her very own charter service. Unfortunately, her business and the other businesses in the airport she manages are barely scraping by. Mel works extra hard to keep things running, because the handful of employees she has are like family to her. The woman who practically raised Mel and owner of the airport, Sally, has gone missing leaving Mel with huge responsibilities. Just when Mel doesn't think the situation could get worse, it does. Bo Black returns to town. He was the object of Mel's affection years earlier and then he broke her tender heart and left. As if Bo's return isn't bad enough, he brought with him the deed to the airport. He claims that Sally lost the airport to his late father in a bet making him the current owner.***** Bo doesn't waste time trying to track Sally down, he believes she may be in possession of some extremely valuable property of his father's. He is also quick in attempting to rekindle a relationship with Mel as the cute sixteen-year old girl he left ten years ago has grown into a beautiful, sensuous woman.***** Mel's nature is to protect her heart since it has been broken so many times by those she cared for she is very slow to trust and even slower to love. Bo is a determined man and eventually Mel's resolve begins to soften. Will Bo be able to convince her that he truly wants her and not just the secrets that are hidden at the airport?***** Jill Shalvis has the incredible talent of creating characters who are intelligent, quick-witted, and gorgeously sexy while giving them just the right amount of weakness to keep them from being unrealistically perfect. The secondary characters in AUSSIE RULES are strong enough to be requisite to the story, but they do not overpower Mel and Bo or the feelings that they are discovering for each other. Readers witness Mel's painfully damaged emotions soften and grow for Bo and will admire Bo's sweet sensitivity to Mel's feelings.***** AUSSIE RULES is a book that I will be rereading in the future it has all of the characteristics that earn Jill Shalvis her very own row on my keeper shelves.

Wonderful story

Aussie Rules by Jill Shalvis is a witty, fun and sexy book. Melanie Anderson lived to fly, nothing gave her the rush, the control and the freedom that flying did. Flying gave her the security that she has lacked all of her life. Her coworkers are her family and she will do anything to protect them. Suddenly her neat and orderly world is turned upside down by the return of her youthful crush, Bo Black. Bo Black, pilot and plane restorer has come back to North Beach to claim his inheritance and clear his late fathers name. Bo is convinced the former owner Sally Wells stole from them and smeared his dad's good name. Only problem is convincing fiercely independent Mel of the truth and keeping his hands off the all grown up woman. Mel and Bo both want answers, each feels that they are in the right. As they search for the truth someone wants them to leave well enough alone. Aussie Rules, I feel is Jill Shalvis's best work to date. The characters are well written, flaws and all. Bo is a delightful Alpha male, he knows what he wants and goes for it. But he is willing to show his tender side to protect those he loves. Mel is a strong willed woman, her past has made her who she is today. She is so leery of Bo can he be for real? Once she lets go her whole world opens up. Jill Shalvis writes keepers. The chemistry between the characters burns up every page. The secondary characters add such depth to an already knock out book.
