About this ebook


As an emergency paramedic, Lauren Boyer is dedicated and highly capable. Until an earthquake strikes, trapping her beneath the freeway with a group of strangers –including Iraq war veteran Garrett Wright…

Handsome and take–charge Garrett aids Lauren in her rescue efforts, even as the steely look in his eyes seems to hide dark secrets. When a gang of escaped convicts goes on the attack, Garrett's bravery makes him more than a courageous bystander to Lauren. If they can save the others before time runs out, maybe, just maybe, they can explore the fire igniting between them – if the truth about who he really is doesn't pull them apart first…

    Jill Shalvis has the uncanny ability to dig deep into the emotions of damaged characters and take you along for the ride. Aftershock was an emotional roller coaster, from the beginning where the characters face their mortality to the aftermath, when they realize they've stumbled onto something much bigger than a moment of impulse. As always, Ms. Shalvis delivers a heart-wrenching, soul-baring, emotion-jerking story that leaves you yearning for "the perfect man" who can see past the damaged facade into the woman hiding inside.

    Cute and refreshing to see a new plot from her. I could've done without the heavy sap at the end, but overall I really enjoyed this one.

    Enjoyable story with a fun plot and such a loveable hero. I don't know how she could resist him so long. I always like it when the male pursues female. Realtor Amber is investigating an old house and when fire inspector Dax goes to check on her they are caught in an earthquake.
