SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO SAY “I DO”

After a humiliating end to her engagement, investment banker Sidney Sinclair is done with commitment-phobic men. But when her sister winds up engaged after a whirlwind courtship, Sidney is thrown into close contact with exactly the kind of sexy playboy she wants to avoid—the gorgeous best man. She’s stuck with him, for better or worse, until her sister walks down the aisle, but that doesn’t mean she has to give in to his smooth advances, no matter how tempting they are…

BUT HE MAKES IT HARD TO SAY “I DON’T”

Special agent Vaughn Roberts always gets his man on the job and his woman in bed. So Sidney’s refusal to fall for his charms only makes him more determined to win over the cool and confident redhead. Only what starts out as a battle of wills ends up as a serious play for her heart. Because the one woman who refuses to be caught may be the only one Vaughn can’t live without…

I love Julie James’s books and this one was no exception. She has a great writing style that is easy to read. It sucked me in right from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. Sidney and Vaughn meet in a coffee shop and Sidney writes him off as a typical bachelor playboy, but then she finds out her sister is marrying his brother and they will be spending quite a lot of time together. The sparks fly between these two, but since Sidney has her checklist in what she is looking for in a man and Vaughn doesn’t meet the her requirements, she decides Vaughn will be a perfect Mr. Right Now as she waits to meet Mr. Forever. The sparks ignite and I couldn’t wait to see where this would go as they continued to insist they were only a temporary thing. Sidney continues looking for Mr. Forever, not even considering Vaughn might be the guy for her. I loved their story and I highly recommend this romance book.
