A review by emleemay
A Lot like Love by Julie James
4.0
Another fun, easy and enjoyable read from [a:Julie James|1647762|Julie James|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1267631748p2/1647762.jpg]! This is my second favourite book of hers that I've read so far, better than [b:Just the Sexiest Man Alive|11240241|Just the Sexiest Man Alive|Julie James|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ObhfVok3L._SL75_.jpg|3909033] and [b:Something About You|6642402|Something About You|Julie James|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51foQ90hsTL._SL75_.jpg|6836876] but it still doesn't quite match up to my first and favourite: [b:Practice Makes Perfect|5082599|Practice Makes Perfect|Julie James|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1230735813s/5082599.jpg|5149317] (I'm still obsessed with J.D.).
As her latest release, this was the steamiest of the lot with some very sexy and descriptive bathtime fun and the tall, dark and stubbled hero we can always expect from Ms James. The story this time didn't feature a heroine who's a lawyer but a billionaire heiress and expert wine taster (makes for some very interesting dirty talk about smooth fullness) called Jordan, whilst mr dark and sexy (Nick) is an FBI agent. The FBI approach Jordan to help them infiltrate the charity fundraiser of a fellow wine lover and suspected criminal. Nick is Jordan's fake date who's mission involves planting recording devices inside the suspect's office.
When not everything goes to plan at the party, Jordan and Nick are forced to keep up the charade a little longer than originally planned. As they are both so dedicated to playing their parts they 'reluctantly' smooch and get close - only in case anyone's watching, of course ;)
[a:Julie James|1647762|Julie James|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1267631748p2/1647762.jpg] knows how to write excellent chick lit and always manages to pull off witty and sarcastic banter better than most writers I know. Even if you're not really into romance novels or chick lit, you can't help but be amused by the neverending humourous remarks thrown back and forth between the characters. That's what I love so much about James' novels and why I know I'll be reading more from her in the future.
