Just the Sexiest Man Alive Berkley Sensation Julie James 9780425224205 Books

I'm definitely a Julie James fan, so I was excited to read her debut novel, but I was a little disappointed. This one isn't as explicit as some of her other novels and lacks some of the heat. I liked the heroine, but the hero was a little too conceited for me. I was hoping that his arrogance was just a facade, and we'd get to meet the "real" Jason who was actually a good guy. But no, that was the real Jason. He's a player, a jerk to a lot of women, he plays a lot of mind games with Taylor (including getting her in trouble with her boss), and he is just flabbergasted that a woman could not want to date him. He only became a nice guy because Taylor was "different" than all the models and actresses, and she was the woman finally able to change him. Ugh, please. I also hated that Taylor sacrificed her job for him at the end.

Just the Sexiest Man Alive Berkley Sensation Julie James 9780425224205 Books Reviews

Just finished this one. Sorry, didn't like it. I know it was her debut novel and am glad to see that she definitely evolved in her subsequent books. I didn't find the same level of witty sarcasm in this book even though Jason made constant reference to her using sarcasm on him. I did like Taylor's character but Jason not so much. I think if you are a Julie James fan and you don't start with the first one you can easily skip this one. Jason in this book is a shallow, self absorbed ass. Though his friend of many years, who added comic side kick relief so to speak, thought deep down he was the same as the guy that drove the old yellow car to LA with him, he was so deep I didn't get how he found his way out. Ok that was a serious run on sentence, sorry. Point being that other than 2 different instances in the book where he showed some humanity I just couldn't get past his arrogance.
This was a re-read but it was as good as I remembered. I love the celebrity hero/normal heroine trope so it didn't surprise me that I enjoyed this book. I forgot how self centered the H was in the beginning but he redeemed himself. The banter between the H and h had me laughing. There were a couple of minor plot lines that I wish had been followed especially with her ex-fiance. The only other detractor for me was the lack of epilogue. Overall, this was a funny and romantic book that I would recommend.
Just the Sexiest Man Alive - R
Violence none
Language fewer than 170, including deity, and FBombs (under 35)
Sex there was an inordinate amount of references to blow jobs. Not sure what that was all about. Thankfully, no details; descriptive kissing; sex referenced, but no details at all.

I loved this book! But I really do hate the language. I'm going to buy a copy and redact it which is a big deal for me to spend money on a paper book, haha. New writer for me--I'm looking for more by her. Well written!
"Life isn't always about logic and reasons -- sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump. Particularly when it comes to relationships."

THE STORY Attorney Taylor Donovan is working hard to become partner at her law firm. The last thing she needs is to babysit international movie star Jason Andrews who wants to do research for the legal thriller he is starring in next. Taylor and Jason immediately strike sparks off one another. Taylor knows exactly the type of man Jason is she left her charming fiance who promised to change his womanizing ways and then cheated on her. Jason is attracted to the sarcastic Taylor but doesn't have any permanent intentions. Of course, the two can't help but fall in love.

OPINION JUST THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is funny and lively and incredibly sweet. The story of two people who aren't looking for love, Taylor and Jason banter and argue their way to a deeper connection than either expects. The entire book feels like a great romantic comedy superstar actor finds professional woman who is entirely wrong for him and definitely doesn't want to have anything to do with him, but the two fight and find out that they are perfect for one another. The chemistry between Taylor and Jason is wonderful. Funny and fast paced, the book goes incredibly fast. Despite the unlikely circumstances, the characters feel human and real. The sweetness and gentleness that underlies the sarcasm and arguments between Taylor and Jason makes this book a great read.

WORTH MENTIONING This book is sweet on the sex front. There is no explicit sexual scenes. The only reference is very tame in relation to other books -- including those by Julie James.

FINAL DECISION Great, funny, sweet romance. The book just feels like a good romantic comedy.

CONNECTED BOOKS JUST THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is a standalone.

STAR RATING I give this book 4.5 stars.
Another addicting book, when it comes to Julie James, she will not disappoint!

Taylor Donovan, sexual harassment lawyer has moved to LA from Chicago for a $30 million trial that she is in charge of. Taylor loves her job and knows she good at it, she doesn't let people see her emotional side. Her second language is sarcasm and she uses it often! Taylor has been asked to go over a script for Hollywood actor Jason Andrews. Jason thinks the sun and moon rises with him and Taylor is not at all impressed. He is about to be taken down a level by one strong woman with lots of smarts and sass.
Jason Andrews is Hollywoods "Sexiest Man Alive" and is used to getting his way, never being told NO and discarding women like a card game. Jason is amazed that Taylor isn't falling at his feet and makes her dislike of him obvious. He is attracted to her and sets out to make her it admit that she's really attracted to him as well. His plan of making her jealous backfires and she ends up dating another HOT Hollywood actor. These two actors can't stand one another and a "pissing" game ensues.
Taylor learns over time that Jason isn't has bad as she once thought, without the camera's and all the hoopla associated with Hollywood, he's a nice guy. She can't let her heart get involved, she got burned once by a good looking cheater and survived it but she doubts she would this time. Jason finds out the hard way that Taylor doesn't trust him, he offers her his heart, will she take it and give him hers as well?
