Flirty Little Secrets
Flirty Little Secrets | Julie James
24 posts | 29 read | 16 to read
Two undercover FBI agents can hide who they are from everyone but each other in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly One Summer. After spending six years in Los Angeles--and the last six months wondering how her marriage fell apart--FBI Special Agent Jessica Harlow is looking for a fresh start. When she finds out that the Chicago field office has an opening for an undercover agent, returning to her hometown seems like the perfect answer. But her new partner, John Shepherd, is someone she never expected to see again. Six years ago, the cocky Army Ranger was her top competition at the FBI Academy, and the one man who got under her skin like no other. Just one assignment away from joining the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team, John isn't going to let anything throw him off his game--not even the self-assured woman who once showed him up at Quantico. He'll work with Jessica to take down a corrupt Florida politician, even if pretending to be business partners staying at a beachfront resort means getting closer than they'd expected. For two experienced agents, it should be a simple enough assignment, but the heat behind their nonstop sparring threatens to make the job a whole lot more complicated...

Add it to the list. #mounttbr

“FBI agents Jessica Harlow and John Shepherd have a past. The former lawyer and cocky Army Ranger clashed during their training at Quantico and gladly went their separate ways after graduating from the Academy. Six years later, the last thing either of them expects is to be assigned to work as partners in a high-profile undercover sting. “

Mehso-so

I enjoyed this one but it was a little predictable. The characters were solid but a bit meh. The story did keep me reading, but maybe I wasn't in the right mood to love it.

Long day working a conference, but a few moments reading on the balcony overlooking the riverwalk is a good way to end the day. #travelingreader #sanantonio

I enjoyed this tale of undercover FBI agent enemies-to-lovers and would give it to a patron who said they wanted romance but not too much sex (if such a person exists).

The thing about THE THING ABOUT LOVE is that it's as amazing as I expected it to be. Tension, tenderness, witty banter, and a HEA. https://randombookmuses.com/2017/05/06/review-the-thing-about-love-by-julie-jame...

Exactly what you'd expect from Julie James - smart characters and a great storyline with details showing that the author does not leave anything out. I actually had the book running like a movie through my head - every scene flew smoothly and beautifully. Julie James comes out with such great stories that I wish she'd write faster! #romantsy #juliejames

raelaschoenherr This one is one of her best! 8y
MrsMetcalfeReads Wow that is deep and eye opening. 8y

A perfect contemporary romance with a toe-curlingly sexy hero and a badass heroine.

Best way to relax on a Saturday evening: Julie James' latest novel, earl grey cheesecake topped with lemon curd, and gold moscato tea. I've yet to find a romance author who does banter in a love-hate relationship as good as Julie James does.💑

clutteredbooks I love Julie James! I can't count how many times I've reread her books (except the last one which I'd like to pretend she never wrote). 8y
Chachic @wanderful.books I love her books too! Which one is your favorite? Mine is Something Abou You. I recommend her books to everyone I know who reads romance. This one is up on NetGalley if you want to request it.😊 8y
clutteredbooks I doubt I'll get approved though haha! Ugh don't make me pick! It's hard. It's easier to pick which one I didn't like 😂 8y

If you like contemporary romance at all, I highly recommend this one. James is a go-to contemporary romance author, but this one might be her best yet! Definitely lots of romance, but also a fully fleshed-out FBI plot that's really interesting. The main characters feel very believable, and she completely delivers on the top-notch witty banter she's known for. Also, trope alert: enemies-to-lovers & love-hate relationship. #romantsy #ARC #netgalley

Chachic I love Julie James' books and I was thrilled when I was approved on NetGalley for this! Just started reading it. 8y
raelaschoenherr @Chachic I would love to hear your thoughts then! She's so great--I wish she wrote more quickly!! 8y

#bookandlunch! When I woke up this morning, I saw the notification that @BerkleyPub approved my NetGalley request for Julie James' latest novel. Thank you!!📖🎉 One of my most anticipated titles in 2017 because she writes the best romantic banter.💖 I'm always surprised (in a good way) whenever I'm approved for a review copy because as an international reader/blogger, my default expectation is to be rejected.😂 #romantsy

Angieville Let me know how it is! 8y
Chachic @Angieville Will do! I'm torn between this and the latest Laura Florand. So many good books and not enough time to read. 8y
Angieville I neeeeed the Florand. 8y
