" Is it too late for me to realize I'm a lesbian? Sure, I like penises, but I'm a smart girl - I could figure out what to do with the lady bits if need be." This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Note: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Whether you’re a fan of Julie James or simply enjoy a good contemporary romance, don’t miss It Happened One Wedding! But fans of the series shouldn’t worry – some of her past heroes and heroines do play a part in Vaughn and Sidney’s book. James’s FBI/US Attorney stories that I’ve read and thus I can safely say it can be read as a standalone. And speaking of said series, It Happened One Wedding is the first of Ms. In fact (charming romance aside), this is what sets It Happened One Wedding apart for me and is why I’m definitely going to be buying the rest of the FBI/US Attorney backlist. James did her research and her doing so adds depth to the story that should not go unmentioned. James included when it came to Sidney and Vaughn’s jobs. It Happened One Wedding is incredibly well-written and I really appreciated the level of detail Ms.
There’s a lot of push-pull in their developing relationship, and once in a while I wanted to shake Sidney and Vaughn to force them to be honest with themselves and each other about what they feel, but each had their reasons for being gun-shy about opening up. Thrown together thanks to family, the sexual tension between Vaughn and Sidney slowly builds until it explodes in the most wickedly entertaining of ways. Though their initial “meet-cute” ends with Sidney writing him off, she can’t exactly do that once she learns that his brother is marrying her sister. He may have charm and good looks on his side, but he’s a playboy at heart with no desire to get involved in a serious relationship. FBI Special Agent Vaughn Roberts is not that kind of man. Sidney’s an intelligent, successful director at a private equity firm who’s thirty-three and determined to find the right man, one she can trust with her heart, a guy she can settle down and have a family with.
Author Julie James has blended snark with substance and heat with heart to create a wonderfully entertaining story you won’t want to put down. It Happened One Wedding is both smart and sexy – my favorite kind of romance. My review cross-posted from Wit and Sin:
