The Thing About Love by Julie James


Two undercover FBI agents can hide who they are from everyone but each other in the latest novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Suddenly One Summer

FBI agents Jessica Harlow and John Shepherd have a past. The former lawyer and cocky Army ranger clashed during their training at Quantico, gladly going their separate ways after graduating from the Academy. Six years later, the last thing either of them expects is to run into each other again–assigned to work as partners in a high-profile undercover sting.

For both of them, being paired with a former rival couldn’t come at a worse time. Recently divorced from a Hollywood producer and looking for a fresh start, Jessica is eager to prove herself at her new field office. And John is just one case away from his dream assignment to the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team. In order to nail a corrupt Florida politician, they’ll have to find a way to work as a team–a task that becomes even trickier when they’re forced to hole up at a romantic, beachfront resort as part of the investigation. Suddenly, the heat behind their nonstop sparring threatens to make the job a whole lot more complicated. . .

If you've loved Lauren Layne or Julie James's other books, then you'll love this quick romance. The Thing About Love follows two FBI agents who have to partner up for a undercover operation. These two have a love/hate relationship since the last time they saw each other was six years ago when they were competing in the academy.

This novel has everything you expect from a Julie James novel. Not only are there two strong and highly intelligent main characters, but a great "hate to love" transition. That being said, this isn't the most original idea what with the fact that James has had many FBI romances and it does follow another trope. But, there's nothing to be ashamed about if you like cute romance tropes or cliches. In fact, I found this book not only to be a quick read, but one that made me happy as well with all of the cute fluff.
