Favorite August Book:
Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James
I've been hearing great things about Julie James' romances all around the blogosphere lately, so I decided to give her a try - even though I'm not usually that fond of contemporaries and even though I've been trying to avoid the whole 'lawyer' thing post-bar exam.
And it definitely paid off. This is one of those books with hilarious snappy dialogue and great characters. I loved Taylor and how talented and driven she was. I loved Jason with all his movie-star cockiness getting a set-down. This is one of those romances that I would love to see as a movie. It was just sooo much fun!
How could you not love a romance where the heroine gets exasperated and says (in court!) "Call me when someone sees a penis.") :) (need a little context? Read the excerpt)

Yes! This was such a fun read! Jason was so adorable. :)
Austenfan - Wasn't he hilarious? I love the part at the beginning when he keeps trying to dazzle her and it just doesn't work.
I also loved how he was so jealous of the other actor (forgot his name. LOL.) I liked the author's other book, Practice Makes Perfect, too, but I think this one's still much more fun. :D
Practice Makes Perfect is definitely up next for me! I love to read romantic comedies, and they tend to be harder to find than your tortured hero!
The whole thing with Sean(?) was cute - though I thought it was a pity James had to give him an ulterior motive...
