Something About You [Mass Market Paperback]

Julie James is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. There is something about her prose and rich characterizations that really draws me in. A real page turner. Highly recommended.

This is the first Julie James I have read and it won't be the last. This for me was a steamy beach read that falls between the usual sensual romance and an erotic romance. The story was fun to read and the situations were in some cases amusing and in others harrowing. I liked the bantering between Jack and Cam and I loved the levity that the secondary characters brought to the story. Secondary plot was fulfilling and provided a means for them to HAVE to be together. Definitely worth a look.

Something About You

Something About You is a book written by Julie Jones and it's a contemporary romance.
This is not what I usually read and I have no idea how I came to pick this one at the library but I'm glad I did.

It was such fun reading this. I usually find contemporary books boring (depends on the theme) but this book hold my interest because of its characters.

They were so realistic and fresh and felt that I could easily meet them in real life. The whole book was realistic and even though we know it's a love story, the main characters don't go over the hill to 'protect' the other. I'm saying this because this book is about a murder. We see from the characters, their need to get this over with before they actually start their romantic adventure and I was relieved. Both of them actually put their work and responsibilities before their emotions.

Let me just say, that my opinion for FBI agents has changed lol.
So Cameron is the witness in this case and Jack has to protect her until they find the murderer. Both of them don't like how things are due to their previous history. Something that Cameron did and almost destroyed his career. Or so he says.

As I said I liked both of them but I felt that they had more to show. The background of both of them is enough to want to know more (if I say I'll spoil it) and we don't get the chance.
But we do get the chance to see the emotions between them change. They didn't like each other due to some old facts but now that they are forced to be together, they're bound to remember what happened three years ago.

Overall I liked it a lot. I might have rated it 3.5 stars but that's only because it's not a fantasy book. And fantasy/paranormal books are my thing so even though I strongly liked it I cannot give it 5 stars. But for the contemporary category 3.5 stars is close to 5!
So, go read it if you like contemporary romance with dark brooding unshaven men.

PS: Isn't the cover gorgeous? I love that pink dress.
