"Spicy sexual tension and a storyline that grabs from page one and never gives up."
Cameron Lynde has the unfortunate luck to stay in a hotel where a murder is committed next door and more unlucky to see the back of the killer through the peep hole as he leaves the room. Cameron, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Chicago, is not allowed to leave until the FBI agent in charge interviews her.
After waiting several hours, Cameron is ready to leave the hotel, no matter who wants to talk to her. Finally, of all people to be in charge of the investigation, Special Agent Jack Pallas walks into the room. Jack and Cameron worked on a case three years before that went sour and Jack said something on national television that embarrassed Cameron. This behavior resulted in Jack being sent to Nebraska for three years. Now he is back.
The murder is a high-profile case and Jack must work with Cameron. Yes, he is still angry with her, but he is just as much attracted to Cameron. Three years hasn't been long enough to get her out of his head. They try to keep a lid on the fact that Cameron saw the killer, but the killer has connections and before they know it, attempts on her life start to escalate. Jack puts cops on surveillance and protection duty, but the only one he can really count on to keep Cameron safe is himself. With a rookie partner who sees right through all of Jack's flimsy excuses and denials of attraction, to Cameron who has to admit she still wants Jack with a passion, some spicy sexual tension promises to entertain.
SOMETHING ABOUT YOU was a one-sitting read for me. I got into the story on the first page and loved the characters and their spicy digs at each other and soon realized I had reached the last page. There's definitely something about Julie James and her penchant for putting a smile on the reader's face and a tickle in the middle. You may even sigh a little over her hunky heroes. I think you will definitely enjoy this one.
Maybe it was her frustration at being cooped up in her hotel room for what was now going on five�yes, five�hours, but Cameron was going to strangle the kid if he ma�am-ed her one more time. She was thirty-two years old, not sixty. Although she�d probably given up the right to be called �Miss� somewhere around the time she had started thinking of twenty-two-year-old man-boy police officers as kids.
Deciding that throttling a cop was probably not the best way to go when presumably dozens more stood right outside her door (she couldn�t say for sure; she hadn�t been permitted to even look out into the hallway, let alone step a toe out there), Cameron tried another tactic. The man-boy clearly responded to authority, maybe she could use that to her advantage.
�If you live in Chicago, what are you doing spending the night in a hotel?� Officer Man-Boy interrupted.
Cameron had to hide her smile. Officer Man-Boy may not have been as green as she�d thought.
�Then I think I should speak to the agent in charge. Who is it?� As a prosecutor for the Northern District of Illinois, she had worked with many of the FBI agents in Chicago.
Cameron tried not to show any reaction, but that stung. True, she wasn�t exactly buddy-buddy with a lot of the FBI agents she worked with�many of them still blamed her for that incident three years ago�but with the exception of one particular agent who, fortunately, was miles away in Nevada or Nebraska or something, she hadn�t thought that anyone in the FBI disliked her enough to openly bad-mouth her.
Cameron had her back to the door, but she would�ve recognized that voice anywhere�low and as smooth as velvet.
She turned around and took in the man standing across the room from her. He looked exactly the same as he did the last time she�d seen him three years ago: tall, dark, and scowling.

I am always looking for new authors to read.
