A Lot like Love by Julie James (Book 20My rating: 5 of 5 stars
For a second book in a series, the author did a good job of bringing new and unique characters and different issues to the story (money laundering, prison fights, etc), while still dragging in the past characters for short cameos.
The female lead owns a wine store, and I enjoyed the discussions about wine, which made drinking wine seem so much more exciting than I remember it being. The male lead, an undercover agent, had a rough around the edges vibe which was a nice contrast. This is definitely an opposites attract situation.

About That Night by Julie James (Book 3)My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm still enjoying this series, though this book is lighter on the criminal justice elements and heavier on the romance. Luckily, it has a very charming and amusing love interest, so I didn't mind at all.

Love Irresistibly by Julie James (Book 4)My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The most adorable thing in this book is the MC's bestie. He's amusing on so many levels, and they have a charming friendship.
This one is also shy on drama, crime, suspense, and mystery, but it's a sweet romance with smart characters. I like that they don't do stupid stuff just to suit the storyline, which happens so often in romance novels.

It Happened One Wedding by Julie James (Book 5)My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is definitely an opposites attract story, with again, less criminal elements, despite the undercover jobs of the male MC, but again, I didn't mind one bit. Each new novel seemed to lean further away from the suspense/mystery/crime drama side and closer to the romance side, which I didn't mind one bit, considering Julie James is a captivating author. She draws you in quick, and once you invest in her characters, you'd watch them paint bedrooms, fold laundry, and blow dry their hair (all things I don't enjoy), just because you can't stand to look away.
