Even though I usually enjoy romantic suspense, sometimes I find the characters to be stiff and distant. After talking with another librarian, she recommended that I try reading a book by author Julie James. After checking out the five-star review on Amazon as well as starred reviews for her previous book on Booklist, I decided to give it a try. As soon as I read the first two pages of Something About You, I knew I was hooked! Local Chicago author James' mix of sharply drawn characters, a fast moving plot, and sizzling sexual tension made Something About You a perfect read. Female protagonists in romantic suspense novels sometimes appear to be formulaic or weak, but Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde was multifaceted and strong. Her counterpart, Jack Pallas was a perfect match for her confidence and humor, and I found myself laughing out loud as various supporting characters brought their own unique personalities to the book. If you are looking for a fast-moving suspense novel that will make you laugh and tingle all at once, this is a book you should check out!(Juliette)
