The Thing About Love by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #7) Released: April 18, 2017 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi First I have to say, what is up with this cover? At first glance, or from far away, it looks bloody! But it's a broken lollipop? Not my favorite cover, and not my favorite book by Julie James. She writes meticulously detailed FBI agents - you can tell she puts hours, and hours of research into her stories. Some books, an author just slaps on the title of FBI Continue Reading

Review: Love Irresistibly by Julie James
Love Irresistibly by Julie James (FBI/US Attorney #4) April 2, 2013 Contemporary Romance Berkley Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Thank God I’m not wearing the red high heels today,” she said. “In two minutes you’ll be wearing nothing,” he said in a low voice. Well, then. Julie James puts out one book a year and the wait is torturous but I’d wait even longer if it means she will continue to put consistent high quality romance books. She writes smart, mature Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–September 21st
10. Someone knit this for me immediately. I need this in the morning. No one is allowed to talk to me if you can’t see my face. This will be the new rule. My head will slowly emerge as I drink my coffee. With a straw. (Thanks Molly!) 9. I’ve been blabbing all over Twitter about this book, but one last time I need to recommend it to everyone. Seriously one of the best Alpha-hole, stubborn heroes I have read. Yet…while Tack is a jerk, he has this soft spot for the heroine and by the Continue Reading

Review: About That Night by Julie James
About That Night by Julie James (FBI #3) Contemporary Romance April 3, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by Mandi I’m a huge Julie James fan and her previous book, A Lot Like Love was a favorite of mine last year. In that book we meet Kyle, the son of a billionaire, a brilliant computer scientist, and also a prison inmate. Yes the hero of this book is an ex-con. A very sexy, adorable one at that. Although Kyle is extremely wealthy, he works hard as the vice president of network security for his Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–September 30th
10. My Week – I went to my favorite used bookstore this week. It’s always a special treat to go to. It is owned by this very eldery man and last time I went, I dropped off many books, some brand new, some only read once – and he gave me about $.68 cents for the entire bag. I love him so much. LOL. You can find awesome, awesome deals in this store. The above picture is only one aisle of romance books he has. There is another side to it. Heaven. 9. It’s time to gather around Auntie Continue Reading
