He owed it to her to tell the truth which he never did. Something About You and A Lot Like Love are two of my favorite contemporary romances and overall reads so far this year and made me an avid Julie James fan. This turned me into an outright rabid, crazed groupie who wants to follow Ms. James around like a puppy, fetch her lattes, shine her Jimmy Choos, and bond with her over martinis. Seriously, she writes some of the snappiest, most intelligently witty dialogue and snarkily clever lines, best laugh out loud scenes, funniest quips, sexiest banter, and hottest hate/love, push/pull tension in romance. Her books read like a favorite romantic comedy movie or TV show rerun that I love watching over and over again. If you are in the mood for some romance without the tragedy, lots of laughs and a feel good ending, this is the book for you! It is my number one cheer me up book - which I know will put me in a good mood every time I read it! In fact just writing about it makes me want to read it again! Not only are they in a competition for the only partnership position currently up for grabs, they are also assigned to woo a potential high profile client, who coincidentally is facing a class action gender discrimination lawsuit. The two have no choice but to handle it together and unfortunately, spend more time with each other.

This book is more a 3.75 stars, but since it gets harder and harder to find a pleasant contemporary read I'm giving it my 4 stars." It seems to me, Annie, that you are just waiting for someone to give you permission to be yourself out loud.” McGraw-Hill eBooks are available at special quantity discounts to use as premiums and sales promotions, or for use in corporate training programs. For Yes the characters are typically good looking, intelligent and talented.. Yes its corny, but I promise you that you will enjoy it anyway. This book managed to get me out a reading slump. YAY! If you just want a generic romcom that is just something fluffy and light to read, (something that's not too deep). This is your go to book! BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK DEEP YOU WON’T FIND MUCH!If you loved The Hating Game (which I know everyone did lol), then there's no doubt you'll probably love this book too! I loved the main character Payton's feminist attitude, and how she wrangles anyone who makes a sexist remark about her or any woman. YAS GIRL POWER. There were a lot of 'hating' moments between the characters - which is actually great - because then you get to really witness their relationship gradually develop and change into something else as the story goes. Also, there were countless Pride and Prejudice references which made me love it 1000 times more. I mean, Adams could not have written their dialogue any better. I was just instantly hooked by these two who were instantly hooked by each other. The author is clearly very intelligent and was a lawyer herself. You can tell she knows her stuff and puts that into her writing. Not just content-wise, but also how she tells the story and the sophisticated style of her writing. The only thing I was expecting from this that it didn't deliver on was good sex scenes. There are a minimal amount of physical scenes within this entire book and when they do happen, the author just does the YA trope of drifting off into the distance. It was a buzz kill for me. But, to me, this made it more of an old-fashioned love story. There is no insta love. It is a slow build, enemies-to-lovers romance with no cursing and PG-13 rated love scenes. More praise for Sarah Adams' rom-coms, including The Cheat Sheet - the heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance that became a sensation on TikTok - and When in Rome.

I know I know, it's a pile of romantic fluff... But don't let the seemingly simple boring story line put you off. The characters are so well written and the tension is SO GOOD that you wont care that there is no murder, mystery or major life shattering dramas. This is a good old-fashioned, well written, AWESOME romance book! Will can share about his past and Annie can share the feelings she’s kept hidden about hers and how she doesn’t like the mold people have cast her in all of her life. It’s books like these that make me feel like any review is just inadequate to capture my feelings and love for the characters.The MMC was generic and boring. Being tattooed, ex military, and emotionally unavailable doesn't automatically make him an interesting love interest. And honestly, there's no way in hell this man who is well-traveled and 'super hot', who has dated models around the world and jumped out of airplanes, is going to fall for such a lame FMC. It doesn't make sense.

JD was great...until he decided to retaliate and I mentally threw my iPhone against the wall. Gave up. Gave up Julie James, too. J.D. also, charmingly, slut shamed the female lead, Payton, because he was obviously threatened by the fact that a woman was just as capable as he was, positioning that she got to where she was by selling her body. Nice. To be fair, Payton didn’t take his shit and he did apologize. But seriously, if those are the kind of things that naturally come out of this guy’s mouth on a regular basis…where’s the appeal?

I loved how both of them didn’t force what they wanted onto the other and were encouraging and understanding of one another esp in facing what was ahead for them thus reaching common ground.

J.D. x Payton, these two main characters are smart, witty, sassy, and being successful attorneys, I LOVE THEM! This book is also refer to Austen's Pride and Prejudice.. Arrogant Guy and Strong feity Girl, I think. Loved the lawyering element in the book, too. Julie James is pretty good at writing about them. I. Loved. It. I loved it! This is a great contemporary romance, with some of the funniest scenes and dialogue that I've read in quite a while! Julie James is definitely going onto my list of Favorite Authors!
