This is the second book in the series. I am really enjoying listening to this one on Audible. The narrator is very good. While I enjoy wine and the heroine owns a wine store, it was just a little much. I can say that I did learn quite a bit about wine that I could never afford $1,200 a bottle...
I'm 2 for 2 on this author and thrilled to see that she's got a few more yet to come! I finished "It Happened One Wedding" yesterday and rushed through this one last night and today. I really enjoy the subtle style, the sweet coming together of these two people, the slightly spicy but not over-th...
It Happened One Wedding by Julie JamesSyndy Sinclair, investment banker moves back to Chicago after her engagement is called off.Her sister is to be married now...Isabelle. Von Roberts is an agent and she is not falling for his charms. He can't live without her.Problem is her sister is to wed his...
I love Julie James. This is a new to me author, but definitely one I will keep reading. This is the second of her novels I've read this week, and I think I might even grab the next book in this series and keep going.One of the things I find she does well is the hate to love story. Some authors tr...
Simply told, this book was amazing. It had everything I wanted. A "cool, calm, collected" woman who is by the way also a lawyer and a "confident, famous, irresistible" man who is also the most famous Hollywood star, two people who normally wouldn´t have anything to do with each other suddenly get...
Awful in the way it crams really dumb political mocking of the left (liberals) down your throat. The heroine is totally cool with opposing the wearing of fur but god forbid someone talk to her secretary about advocating for a fair workplace. Those little people need to stay in their place. The he...
This is weirdly the only book in the series that my library has, but it was a good start anyway - though the cameos did get a bit distracting, I get that they're fun for fans of the whole series. I really liked Brooke, and I thought her answer to the job offer was amazing. Cade was also fun, and ...
I stumbled on this author after a two-week reading slump. When I say slump, I mean I've been reading novels that were so bad, it baffles me as to why they even hit bookshelves. I can't even bear to mark them as 'read'. They were that bad. So I got desperate and scoured Goodreads for highly-recomm...
Well right now I'm suffering from withdrawal because I just finished the book and I don't know what to do with myself. This is one of those rare few books that made me laugh out loud with its witty dialog and overall humour. At one point I even snorted aloud getting a few awkward looks from peop...
Know how Smart Bitches Trashy Reads used to run that Save the Contemporary stuff? Julie James is rocking the contemporaries. This one, like the two before it, includes likable confident characters, no stupid misunderstandings, funny snark and banter, chemistry, and some awww moments. I will say i...
It took me a long time to finish this, I guess I´m in the not-a-lot-of-reading-done period. Comes every summer :D I consider the beginning of summer my time to catch up on the GoT :DOK, stop talking OT. This book.. I love Julie James easy humor, I like the story and it was quite well done. But th...
Smooth, quick, enjoyable read. Nice combo of mystery and romance. The mystery turned to suspense pretty early on (we knew who the killer was and watched while he tried to take down the witness) but that helped to put the mystery in the backseat of the romance, which worked well.The romance itself...
Qué novelita. Un montón de páginas para nada. Los protagonistas se acercan a penas cuando se lleva casi el 50% de la historia. Y consuman el amor al 85% de la trama. Demasiados detalles de nada. Por favor, no pierdan el tiempo con esto que venden y promocionan como una historia excitante y tórrid...
Stars: 4Really enjoyed this book, guys in uniform enough said.Just want more. Great story. Relationship development was realistic and the characters were very relatable.
LOVED this story!! ha it just hit all the right notes for me when I was reading it. I started this late last night, thinking I'd just start reading another book for a bit... oh dear.. I have been decidedly grumpy today with everyone as I only got 4 hours sleep. I could not put it down once I star...
Predictable but pleasantThis was one of those reads that you can tell from the get go exactly how things are going to play out. I've read so many books where the "famous guy" is after the one woman whose able to resist him. I also feel this book is overpriced at its current listing price of $5....
Didnt settle well for me :( Surprised how much I liked it, given that it took me a long time to warm up to the male lead.
This story reminded me of Drew Evans and Katherine Brooks of 'Tangled' by Emma Chase. The lawyers thing, the competition between the hero and heroine, especially in the first part of the book.The bickering between Payton and J.D. was interestingly funny. And the scene that involving skinny-heels ...
Loved this so much!! It was just what I needed. Loved Cade and Brooke. Review to come :)
