As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of her own boutique wine store, Jordan Rhodes’ name is on the guest list of all the best parties in Chicago. But it’s just one party that the FBI want her help to get into – the exclusive party thrown by a renowned restaurateur and alleged mob money launderer. Jordan’s not keen on her “date” but she’ll do what she has to do in exchange for her brother’s release from jail.
As the top undercover FBI agent in Chicago, Nick McCall has been in his fair share of tricky situations. But pretending to date Jordan tops his list of difficult tasks when the pair can’t be alone together for more than 5 minutes before the sparks begin to fly and the arguing starts. But when their one date turns into two, this straightforward assignment starts to feel like something a whole lot more that neither of them expected.
This is another winner from Julie James and it is chock full of her trademark wit, humour and smart and sharp banter. It stands completely alone but we did get little cameo appearances from Cameron and Jack from her previous book, Something About You.
My favourite thing about Julie James’ writing is always the way that her main characters spark off each other. Despite this being a constant in her books the plot and characters are always so fresh and new and a joy to read from start to finish.
Jordan was a great character – strong and confident yet still likeable and relatable. But it was Nick who stole the show and my heart. I just love brooding, dark and mysterious men who fall hook, line and sinker for the girl of their dreams. Nick and Jordan together had great chemistry and some sexy scenes that greatly complemented the story.
I was also very happy to hear that Julie James’ next book (About That Night) will be Jordan’s brother, Kyle’s story.
The more I read of Julie James the more I love her writing style and her stories. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking out for a sexy, sassy romantic story. 5 stars.
