Favourite Quote: "Where is Wilkins, anyway?" Cameron asked.
"In the living room, being accosted by eighteen women who think he's a stripper. I thought it was best to duck in here."
"So much for never leaving a man behind."
"If he starts screaming, I'll lay down a cover fire and go pull him out."
The first word that comes to mind after reading Something About You is DELICIOUS!
I haven't read a good old romantic suspense in a long time but found myself craving some especially with a little steam! And Something About You delivered it perfectly with just the right blend of mystery, humor and smexy times.
The highlight for me of this tale is the characters. They are witty and have some spark about them. Cameron is an enjoyable female protagonist. She is confidence and yet at the same time a little vulnerable when it comes to her heart. Then we have Jack Pallas described as "tall, dark and scowling". Talk about making me melt. It really should say though tall, dark, HOT and scowling. I loved his protective nature. He wasn't that controlling-protective but rather that strong-sexy-protective. (I already have my book boyfriend post planned out for him. LOL!)
And when you add these two together you get some off the charts sizzling chemistry! All that tension lead to some unbelievably hot steamy scenes.
But I really liked that it wasn't all about their romance. Something About You still has a good plot as well that keeps you interested.
Overall, Something About You was a fantastic read. I definitely recommend this if you are in the mood for a good contemporary adult romance. This is one of the best I have read!

Mum's reading this one atm, she's enjoying it. Glad you liked it. So good when you find a fantastic read. ;D
I keep going back and forth about this book. But now I think I have to read this! Great review twine!
@nomes you should read her last two, they are so much better then the first two! @Tina I can't believe you have doubts about reading it, this book is AMAZING, Julie James is amazing. I have read all 4 books by her at least twice.
I have this eBook. I've been wanting to read this and Practice Makes Perfect, but it's been a crazy few reading months. I really need to get to these soon and I'm so glad you thought it was delicious. :D Perfect review Nic!
Nic, so glad you decided to read Julie James! She's my favorite chick lit writer. :) I think Something About You is actually my favorite out of all her books but I enjoyed reading all of them and I can't wait to read her next one.
woot nic :) i am so glad you loved it. it is so much fun and perfectly swoony and a little bit guilty pleasure (and i love my guilty pleasures)
I agree with Chachic & Nomes, Julie James is the queen of guilty pleasures♥♥♥♥ I can't wait until you read her other books & see how you like them((:
