A Lot like Love by Julie James
4.0
11/12/23 - Relisten & review
This is book 2 in Julie James’s FBI/US Attorney series. While this stands on its own - characters from book 1, Something About You, make brief appearances and I think its a little more fun having enjoyed that first.
I loved the pairing of FBI agent Nick McCall and civilian Jordan Rhodes in this fun and sexy romance. Great tropes/themes here: opposites attract, close proximity, and fake dating. Nick gets wrangled into an undercover op that keeps on going beyond what anyone envisioned. Their "just for show" relationship evolves over a series of "just for show" outings & trips. Their banter is so much fun. I fell in love with each of them and it's easy to see why they make a great couple. There's also a few suspenseful moments that give this enjoyable pacing.
I also adored the secondary characters. The other agents were great - but the family interactions were hilarious as well. I'm thrilled that Jordan's twin, Kyle, is getting the next book.
Narration:
Karen White is terrific again. She's wonderful at differentiating the character voices. Plus, I like that she gave Nick that slight New York accent. The banter, emotions, and suspense come through and make for a great listen.
