Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James

WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAWS OF ATTRACTION…

Payton Kendall and J.D. Jameson are lawyers who know the meaning of objection. A feminist to the bone, Payton has fought hard to succeed in a profession dominated by men. Born wealthy, privileged, and cocky, J.D. has fought hard to ignore her. Face to face, they’re perfectly civil. They have to be. For eight years they’ve kept a safe distance and tolerated each other as co-workers for one reason only: to make partner at the firm.

…THERE ARE NO RULES.

But all bets are off when they’re asked to join forces on a major case. At first apprehensive, they begin to appreciate each other’s dedication to the law—and the sparks between them quickly turn into attraction. But the increasingly hot connection doesn’t last long when they discover that only one of them will be named partner. Now it’s an all out war. And the battle between the sexes is bound to make these lawyers hot under the collar…

Wonderfully smart and sexy romance

I have to go right in and express how much I enjoyed this book. I had read (and adored) James‘ previous book, Just the Sexiest Man Alive, so decided to get her next and now have decided to read every book she’s ever written!

There were many reasons for my love of this book. I do enjoy couples that bicker and argue before they realise they’re perfect for each other and James‘ is the master of this type of relationship. Payton is a strong woman but one that you can both relate to and also admire and root for while J.D. is a confident, sexy man who, underneath it all, is vulnerable and in need of the love of a good woman. Together the pair had near palpable chemistry and I loved them separately and as a couple.

“…a smart, sexy and funny contemporary romance…”

The story was interesting and really amusing at points. I could barely put the book down and finished it really quickly as the pages kept on turning. The ending was satisfying and the whole book left me with that upbeat, happy feeling that only the best books can give you.

Overall this was a smart, sexy and funny contemporary romance with great characters and a really enjoyable story. I would highly recommend it and hope that you like it as much as I did. 5 stars.

New York Times bestselling author Julie James practiced law with one of the nation’s largest firms for several years until she began writing screenplays.

THE THING ABOUT LOVE is Julie’s ninth novel.

Julie James lives with her husband and two children in Chicago, where she is working on her next novel.
