Something About You by Julie James

Another excellent romance from Julie James
5 stars

All Assistant U.S. Attorney, Cameron Lynde, wanted when she checked into a luxury hotel was some pampering and a good night’s sleep. Instead she was kept awake by the amorous couple in next room which ended in murder. Now she’s under FBI protection and, of course, the man assigned to the case is Special Agent Jack Pallas – the same man who blames Cameron for a botched crackdown three years ago that nearly ended his career.

So now the pair have to work together to solve the crime and keep key witness Cameron safe. It’s no surprise that being in such close proximity will make the sparks fly but it’s a surprise to both when it’s the sparks of lust and not animosity that start to burn.


This is another great contemporary romance that I couldn’t put down from start to finish. I loved the sassy, intelligent characters and the great chemistry between the pair. Cameron was a strong woman but far from a stereotype and someone I admired, rooted for and wanted to be! Jack was the perfect foil for Cameron as well as being a first class hero. Glowering, broody and a man’s man – he is the kind of guy any woman would wish for.

The story was interesting, exciting and didn’t rely on the obvious conflicts or dramas to move the story on. While involving a little bit of suspense over the killer, the book wasn’t in the least bit scary and I’m a complete wuss when it comes to things like this! This is definitely the kind of story that you just have to keep reading and that you really invest in both the characters and the book as a whole.

Julie James is truly becoming one of my favourite contemporary authors. Her characters are smart and witty with great chemistry and banter and the story has the right balance of romance and action/suspense. Furthermore she always leaves me wanting more and with that happy glow when I’m finished a book. Now a definite auto buy for me and something I’d recommend for everyone especially fans of Susan Andersen. 5 stars.
