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. . .
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Have I been living under a rock? Where have I been that that this is my first Julie James novel? I couldn’t put The Thing About Love down. I was sucked in from the beginning and I resented anyone who got in the way of me getting to spend time with John and Jessica.
The Thing About Love is a story “about a valiant heroine and an ex-Ranger hero who’d come a long way from their days together at the FBI academy.”
These two really came a long way from their time spent together at academy; it was tumultuous depending on who’s point of view you want to believe. I loved getting to hear their thoughts on academy from each of them, it really adds depth the their story. I loved getting to see them immerse themselves in their undercover roles, I could feel the adrenaline coursing through them and some moments were really high-intensity moments for me to read.
I laughed, and swooned and my heart even broke a few times throughout The Thing About Love. I hated the ending, not because it was a bad ending, but because I had to say goodbye to Jessica and John and I really don’t want their story to be over yet.
