Charm. Old money. A six-pack. Loves dogs. He'd be the perfect guy--if I wasn't suing him. Mr. Hot-shot lawyer has no idea I'm the girl he swore he'd have his day in court with. I lied. Gave him a fake name. I couldn't wait to see the look on his face when we'd meet again in small claims. But the kiss we shared under the stars was explosive. Fueled by months of pent-up anger. Maybe he had figured out who I was, after all, the girl who fell for Mr. July.
She thinks she's playing me. Newsflash: I'm playing her. I know exactly who Ms. Lawsuit is. But I wasn't expecting her long tanned legs, sunkissed hair, and innocent eyes to distract me from annihilating her. Maybe it's time to change this game around. After all my mama always said make love instead of war.

4.5 Stars for Mr July Jax Hart is a fairly new author to me but after reading this fun, entertaining, slow burn romance I’m struggling to understand why I haven’t read more by this very talented author. Chase is a workaholic lawyer who gets conned into posing for a charity calendar by his sister and that’s how he ends up as Mr July. Ryan is celebrating her best friends bachelorette party at Chase’s beach house and that’s when the fun and games begin. A trip to the beach has turned crazy and sparks fly from the moment this couple meet ….. This book ticked all my boxes, I laughed, I giggled, I swooned and I sighed as I enjoyed the witty banter and text messages between Chase and Ryan. This is a well written , entertaining read that will appeal to a wide range of audiences. I’m excited for the next book in this series Mr August.
Sizzling hot and full of laugh-out-loud moments, Mr. July is a perfect summer beach read!
Chase and Ryan definitely get off on the wrong foot, and that just sets up a delicious slow-burn romance between these two. Thanks to a little meddling from Ryan's grandma! Witty banter, swoony moments, and sizzling chemistry — Mr. July was an absolute delight.
I haven't read anything by Jax Hart before, but I definitely want to check out the next book in this series, between Chase's best friend Hunter and his sister Charlie. One of my favorite tropes!

Mr. July: An Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy (Bachelors at the Beach, Book 1) By: Jax Hart Narrated by: Rodney Falcon
I enjoyed this book immensely, it is a well-written story that grabbed my attention right from the start and captivated it the entire time. The characters are easy to relate to and connect with. Chase Carmichael is an attorney for a hedge fund firm he is career focused, he aims to be the best in his department with a goal is to climb the corporate ladder. When one model his sister Charlie hired for a calendar shoot does not show up, she gets Chase to pose, proceeds from the calendar sales goes to charity. There was going to only be a limited amount of calendars made available, but they sold so well they made more. Chase was not happy about that but what could he do. He also turned over a new leaf, he was sick of superficial on night stand and decided he did not want to be a player anymore. He is making a side business with his summer home, renovating it and renting it out. Excited about landing his first tenant, thinking he was getting a nice quiet one turns out to be something entirely different and it turns disastrous for him. Ryan Hill is a hardworking college student, she had plans for an internship and had a guaranteed a spot until her ex stole it from her. Luckily, she landed another spot, one that would start sooner. Before she starts, she and her friends are holding a bachelorette party for a friend who was having a shotgun wedding. Ryan rented out a summer home for a weekend of fun. But a blackout, an accident with some wine, a stripper and too much partying causes a mess, one she left up to her friends to clean up. But that is not what happens, and the landlord is livid and threatened to sue her and it just so happened that landlord, Chase, is a lawyer. He did not not intimidate Ryan one bit, and she gave as good as she got. The witty banter between them was too funny and, you could imagine steam coming out of Chases’s ears. I loved how everything played out in this book, the story is entertaining and there is never a dull moment. There are some great secondary characters too. Jax Hart thank you for another great story!
🎧📚🎧 And for the terrific narration, Rodney Falcon is a talented narrator and voice artist. He has a complete understanding of the characters he portrays and plays the roles accordingly. He sets the perfect tone for the story, handled the witty dialogue with with ease, landing the humor effortlessly without missing a beat. You could hear how much heart he puts into his work as he captures the characters’ emotions and projects them into his performance. He is an entertaining storyteller and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another great listen.
Book was a great cute and pretty quick read. It felt like a great flow for the first half and then everything at the end was super rushed and most of the storylines that had a drawn out start had abrupt one sentence endings. Still was a great cute book and I’d highly recommend reading it if you’re looking for something quick, light, and refreshing!
- I do want to point out something very very small but just in case others are like me and find it mildly irritating. The author has a lot of very stupid small things they go into detail about but it will be incorrect. An example would be her trying to set the scene of the mmc has a very fancy and brand new Tesla that he’s holding the key fob of and is about to remote start it and in a different scene where he’s describing how beautiful the FMC is with her hair blowing in the wind because his Tesla has the sunroof open. When Tesla’s don’t have key fobs (especially not for remote start) and there has never been a Tesla with a sunroof that opens. The car is just a quick easy example there are kind of a lot of instances of stuff like that in the book. Again SUPER MINOR just kind of annoying to not bother being at least a little accurate in the details.
What a delightful story! Full of LOL moments with their witty banter and crazy moments! Chase is a lawyer and as a favor to his sister and a charity she endorses he reluctantly agrees to pose for a calendar and he will be Mr. July. Ryan is unceremoniously dumped by her cheating boyfriend and she is pulled into organizing a bachelorette party. She rents the new seaside cottage that Chase lovingly renovated for the party but as she is called away her girlfriends left the cottage defiled as per Chase. This is where this story becomes a comedy of events and smart banter that will have you laughing out loud and siding with a character? Smart, Sexy, hilarious with a cast of characters like none other! I can't wait to see what Mr. August might have in store for us! I volunteered to review this story.
Absolutely love this story. The heart just aches and thrives with the romance and comedy of the two characters. Doing his sister a favor to help save the dolphins, Chase Carmichael poses for a charity calendar. Only his too busy lawyer life takes a pause when he and his sister encounter the house from their childhood for sale. The interactions between characters brings a smile to the readers face as one thing leads to another. The banter between Chase and Ryan Hills is another amusement. I like happy endings and seeing Chase and Ryan’s makes me smile.
I always enjoyed this author and his talent for storytelling only escalates my fan loyalty. Love it. And to read an excerpt for Mr August and seeing their history, I’m eager to see how Chase’s best friend Hunter and Chase’s twin sister, Charlie handle their relationship.
I LOVED THIS BOOK. It captured me from the first page to the last and I did not want it to end. The love and connection Chase and Charlie his Twin sister, shows throughout the book, they would do anything for one another. Then there is Ryan who's a little lost after being dumped by her boyfriend a day before Christmas. Her Grandma Bunny has a chat with her and Ryansees things through diffrent eyes. This story had me laughing out loud throughout the book, and the back and forth Banter via text messages between Ryan and Chase was awesome. Especially with both thinking they could outdo each other. The side characters are just as amazing as the main characters. This is a very well written book, I highly recommend it. I am really looking forward to Charlie and Hunters book next. Mr August
I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This romance is full of humor, steam and has a little bit of drama. Chase and Ryan have sparks flying from the first time they meet. A trip to the beach turns crazy. Things have not been going very well for Ryan lately. The conflict with Chase is going to be the icing on the cake or the beginning of a whole new world. Chase just wanted to help his sister out. He could have never expected what came next for Mr July. These two have a hilarious relationship. Their war of words was something else. I enjoyed this story and the characters. I thought that it was well written. This is a book that you still leave you smiling after it is done

This book has everything to make you have a good time. Chase is a workaholic lawyer who ends up posing on a calendar at the request of his sister for charity. And that’s how he ends being Mr. July. Ryan is a student who sees how her ex and his new girlfriend achieve the last positions in her dreamed research program, but she finally made it. Ryan celebrates her best friend’s bachelorette party at Chase’s beach house and they end up leaving a mess. Chase decide to charge her for the cleaning and reparations, to which Ryan refuses and threatens to sue him. The coincidence cause Ryan’s grandma to end up working as Chase’s PA, and this is how Chase gets closer to Ryan. The flirting, the e-mails and their dates are the funniest, most romantic and 🔥. The truth is that I 😂😂 with the book. I’m dying to read Mr. August, which stars Hunter and Charlie, Chase’s best friend and twin sister.
Chase has a twin sister who gets him to actually take a break from his workaholic ways to be tricked into posing for a calendar for charity so you have Mr. July LOL! Ryan is celebrating with her friends at a bachelorette party at Chase's beach house, and little do either of them realize how their lives will be turned upside down at this point. See, there's some things that they have going before they ever came face to face that definitely could be problematic but with the sparks flying like they are, who cares about that stuff amirite?! Mr. July was a super fun read that had me laughing a lot at all the witty interactions between these two, not to mention those sparks flying out of my kindle to boot. This is a story that we all need in our lives so you don't want to miss out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
The month of July is bright, fun, carefree, hot, playful, and holds a little angst. That's what you'll get in, Jax Hart's, newest novel. By the time July rolls around, you're thinking of possibilities for the rest of the summer, and maybe life. The nights are steamy, the warm breezes caress you and whisper of laughter to come. Characters in life show up, and sometimes interfere in the most endearing ways. Any pensive thoughts you might have often drift away once you give in to the feel of summer. July is summer at it's finest! Mr. July is flirty and fun, just like those summer romances some may remember. So take a turn at summer romance with Mr. July and you won't go wrong! This is Jax Hart at his summer romance best!
Looking for a sweet, fun, fairly clean beach read? Look no further.
Chase let his sister talk him into posing for a charity calendar to help save the whales. The day of filmin on the beach they grew up on they came across the old beach house for sale. Chase bought it, renovated it and decided to lease it in the summer.
Ryan’s best friend was getting married and wanted Ryan to do the bachelorette party , she found the lovely beach house for them but never dreamed what it may bring... like a gorgeous pinup guy and the man of her dreams.
Mr July is a cute rom com with enemies to lovers, a bit of a drama, cute animals , funny gramma, hot shot lawyers, and sweet romance. I can’t wait for Mr August.
Jax Hart does not disappoint with this amazing book. I absolutely love this story , I was captivated from start to finish. Chase is a rich, swoon-worthy and a bit of a player. He becomes the highlight of a calendar his sister creates . Mr July is born ! Ryan has her world turned upside down , buts fights her way to a life she loves. But the universe had other plans.
Your in for a sensational ride when this couple get together. It’s absolutely sexy and beautiful. It turns out to be a awesome love story.
I also loved all the rescue animals , it was a sweet addition to the story. It’s a definite must read !!!
This is the 1st in a new series and is Chase and Ryan’s story. Chase is an attorney who will do anything for his twin sister Charlie, and when she calls needing him to pose for a calendar to benefit a wildlife charity, he does not hesitate to become “Mr July”. Ryan is taking some downtime with friends at a beach house, and this is where she meets Chase and the sparks fly. This is a well written flawless story which is sweet, humorous, fun, entertaining, and with witty banter, and love, which all leads to an all-consuming read. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Brilliantly written romantic, action comedy, you won't want to put it down! Ryan and Chase have both been unlucky in love. Chase having given up on women after being chased by every fake tart that meets him and Ryan's boyfriend of 2 years dumping her for one of said fake tarts. Ryan's Granny may have dabbled slightly in hooking the two of them up but neither would have it any other way. The sunned up, ocean loving animal advocates are perfect together. Grab you copy today and read about all the fun loving dramas these guys and their friends and family get up to. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the next instalment Jax!
Mr. July has got to be one of the sexiest, funniest books I've read this summer. This enemies to lovers had me in stitches. I just couldn’t contain my laughter. Chase Carmichael is a lawyer and a very good one until he meets his match when it comes to Ryan Hilldale. A miscommunication sets off a chain of hilarious emails, they get into a war of words. Jax Hart has made me a huge fan, as he had the right combination of humor and romance. Mr. July had me wanting more of Mr. Hart’s books. I found Mr. July, highly entertaining, romantic, funny, page-turner, with wonderful characters.
Mr. July is the first book in the Bachelors at the Beach series and all I can say is sign me up for my spot on this beach. The cover is hot enough to make your fingers burn but then the story-line will make you laugh, sizzle and pop in so many ways. I have read The Salvatore Syndicate series and really enjoyed them. Mr. July is on the other side of the spectrum and a whole lot of fun. It is well written, has fantastic characters and a story-line that delivers both on being humorous and romantic.
I received a copy of this book and am leaving my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Mr. July is a lighthearted, humorous, and complete with all the feels read. From the first page until the last I was captivated and turning the pages. Chase is a lawyer, a bit of a player, and will do anything for his sister, even posing for a wildlife calendar. Ryan is at a beach house on the Outer Banks, just needing some time with friends and to figure out what is next for her future. Then she meets Chase and sparks fly between the two of them. Chase and Ryan had such amazing chemistry together. I can’t recommend this book enough, it has heart, heat, humor, plenty of steam, and love.
Jax Hart's Mr. July is an amazing story of enemies to lovers. Meet Chase Carmichael and Ryan Hill, who are as opposite as opposites get. Chase the hardworking hotshot attorney, who thanks to his sister Charlie, turned into calendar model Mr. July with the red, white, and blue swim trunks to prove it. Ryan is a hard-working college student, who just got dumped at Christmas, trying to get into the research program of her dreams. Throw in a recently renovated Airbnb, a winter storm, an all-girls getaway weekend that includes a bottle of red wine, and of course, ONE mean girl, what could possibly go wrong? Mr. July is full of witty banter and laugh-out-loud scenes, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Jax has hit a home run with Mr. July. I can't wait to see what happens in book 2. Grab your copy today to see what Mr. July is all about, you will definitely have a great time. **I received a free copy of this ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This book had all the feels! Chase is suckered into doing his older sister (by like 2 minutes!) Charlie a favor...posing for her charity calendar. The bond these two share is amazing. Chase meets Ryan via an online transaction and the banter between them is hilarious! This was such a fun read! There are several LOL moments and ones that will just grab your heart strings. Did I mention there's an animal shelter involved too?! This book has it all and I highly recommend!
Hot as sin, sexy alpha lawyer meets broke college girl looking to save the dolphins. Oh wait, he posed in a “save the dolphins” calendar, aka Mr July. She hosted a slightly out of control bachelorette party at his beach rental. All before they met. Feuding over emails through rental app, fireworks from the start and Gran dispensing wise relationship advice to both, unknowingly. This book has an intriguing hook and delivers with humor and lots of sexual tension; an engaging read through and through
I thought that this read was really wonderful. Chase and Ryan so easily captured my attention with their seismic attraction and the blazing sparks they generate. The storyline is funny, well written and gives you plenty of feels. Drama and emotion are paired with sweetness, a hint of cute and a whole lot of snark to create a thoroughly enjoyable, chuckle and swoon-fest that will brighten your day and lighten your heart. I am freely posting a frank review.
Chase and Ryan take you from one twist to the next. One rental, huge bachelorette party, a mess, and a lawsuit that just part of what this book has to offer. It will pull you in and only gets better. I was not expecting this book at and that's what made it so interesting. I laughed out loud, almost cried, and was so enthralled with this book I didnt want it to end. This book has everything and more. I can't wait to read what he has next
Jax really changed it up for this book and I am so glad he did because this book is awesome.
I woke my kids up at laughing at parts, yelling at parts and omg the happiness I had reading it make me grateful I was given the opportunity to do so!
Chase and Ryan have this bond, which is hard to believe as she was suing the hot-shot lawyer. You will not be mad if you read this book, it has a HEA and leaves me wanting Mr August right away!
Hot Shot Layer. Prince Charming. Mr July. meets College Student. Animal Lover. Mrs Unexpected.
Chase is all of that and more in this steamy beach romance. Ryan is his total opposite and someone he wasn’t expecting, especially not at this time in his life, but together they are on fire🔥.
Mr July if full of quick wit, friendships, family, true love, and some sexy scenes that will melt your kindle. An absolute page-turner.
Such a fun filled story. I was hooked and the storyline didn't disappoint. Chase is a lawyer and ends up posing for a wildlife calendar for his sister. Ryan is visiting friends at a beach house when she meets Chase. That's when the fun begins. Sparks fly, misunderstanding, emails flying back and forth and a romance that's engaging. Great book and wonderful characters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Mr. July? No Mr. Hot-a-licious. From the very beginning you are put on notice on just how much passion, drama and adventure your in for. Jax Hart Awesomsauce job.
