Publisher's summary

Staying overnight in a luxury hotel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde overhears a high-profile murder involving a U.S. senator. Special Agent Jack Pallas is assigned to the investigation - the same Jack Pallas who still blames her for nearly ruining his career three years ago. Now the pair will have to put their rocky past behind them, focus on the case at hand - and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension.

Good Book

I enjoyed this book. It is fairly predictable but entertaining with very likable characters. It was a little lightweight but has enough drama and humor to keep it interesting. The narrator is good, maybe a little overdone in the sex scenes but not bad.

Story was decent but it wasn't something that kept

story was decent but it wasn't attention grabbing. some portions we're very predictable. I felt like the reader was trying to 50 Shades of Gray me into the love scenes.

Enjoyed!

Fun story. Awesome Narrator. This is what I call a grown up story. No immature behavior and characters that behave like the adults they are supposed to be. I really enjoyed this on audible and will be checking out the next one in the series.

Perfect combination for a perfect listen!

Julie James and Karen White were made for each other. Julie writes fun, sassy stories with strong women and strong men who fight to stay apart and lose.

This story throws two agents who have a history from long ago back together. A great listen ensues and if you buy this, you will buy a few hours of pure entertainment.

Karen White narrates the perfect sassy, smart woman of today who just doesn't put up with being put down! She's a feminist, dammit! She doesn't need these so-called men who just march in a mess up a perfectly good job and life!

Is Mr. Agent a wimp? Hardly! He has cleaned up messes, worked his ass off for the position he now holds and doesn't need a woman to sweep in and take his thunder.

Love it. Want more!! Great job, Julie and Karen! I'm your #1 fan!

Good book

This was my first book by Julie James. I enjoyed almost everything about the book. The only downside was that things were a little predictable.
The narration was good too.

Great beginning

Love this book. I hope all in this series are just as good. I love all the characters in this book. Although, the 2 CPD cops are so strange talking about girlie things is a bit unbelievable.
Narrator is good but no differences between the semester. Sorta makes the romantic scene lose their appeal.

recommend

This was my first Julie James book. I enjoyed the story though I did think it started off a little slow. Enjoyed the two main characters and also the supporting characters. Found myself rooting for them and I wouldn't mind meeting a Jack Palace in person! :)

The narration left a bit to be desired. It wasn't bad enough that I couldn't listen to it but almost. It was impossible for me to loose myself in the story telling because of the narrators constant choppy reading. She emphasizes stops. Almost like reading an old time telegram (or at least how they do it on tv). All her characters do the stopping thing. Her voice isn't bad but the stops really took away from the story for me.

Average at best

What did you like best about Something About You? What did you like least?

The book is well written.

What was most disappointing about Julie James???s story?

It was just so average. Change the names and occupations and it could have been any of a number of romance books out on the market.

Any additional comments?

I guess my standards have been set by Jennifer Crusie and Susan Elizabeth Phillips - I just expect more out of a book.
