Love Irresistibly

FBI-US Attorney Series, Book 4

By: Julie James

Narrated by: Karen White

A former football star and one of Chicago's top prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cade Morgan will do anything to nail a corrupt state senator, which means he needs Brooke Parker's help. As general counsel for a restaurant company, she can get a bug to the senator's table at one of her five-star restaurants so the FBI can eavesdrop on him. All Cade has to do is convince Brooke to cooperate-and he's not afraid to use a little charm, or the power of his office, to do just that.

A savvy businesswoman, Brooke knows she needs to play ball with the U.S. Attorney's office-even if it means working with Cade. No doubt there's a sizzling attraction beneath all their sarcastic quips, but Brooke is determined to keep things casual. Cade agrees - until a surprising turn of events throws his life into turmoil, and he realizes that he wants more than just a good time from the one woman with whom he could fall terrifyingly, irresistibly in love.

Okay, but not as good as other Julie James books

Maybe I got spoiled reading Julie James' other books, but this one was just not as good as her previous books. The characters were very likable, but very predictable. The younger half brother wasn't in my opinion a believable or realistic character. Overall this is a pleasant read, but her prior books are a much better bet.

A proper adult Romance

What a lovely, easy read. I loved the characters, enjoyed the witty banter, appreciated the wonderful friendships, and really took pleasure in the development of the romance between Brooke and Cade. So mature, so adult, so natural. Nothing forced or inauthentic.

The audiobook is great if a bit slow paced at 1x. I listened to it at 1.5x speed and it was perfect (for me).

Can't get enough of this series!

Fun, witty characters who draw you into their lives and steal your heart . A well flowing story with a narrator who performs each character exquisitely and keeps your attention throughout the story. Two workaholics with issues to resolve and important choices to make to decide what happens next in their life. I'm so looking forward to listening to the next book in this incredible series!

His & Her Lawyers

Generally, I have enjoyed this series about attorneys and agents - not overtly violent yet suspenseful with engaging characters. Cade's FBI agent character was established in prior books but Brooke, a corporate lawyer was introduced in an interesting way - very clever!

Love Irresistibly had drama, humor, romance, sex (explicit but not violent or degrading), friendship & families issues. I thought Brooke's friend Ford was a riot and proof that men & women can be close yet platonic friends.

While I really admired the character Brooke, I was disappointed that a smart woman would not realize sooner the difference between having a successful career and allowing work to ruin her quality of life. What was the point of earning a huge salary if she was too busy to spend time with friends, family or a sexy guy?

Cade was my idea of a real man, a public servant whose masculinity was not threatened by a strong, smart professional woman. He was supportive, caring, protective (but not dominating) and sexy - the whole package.

Ready For Next Installment

Great, entertaining and the performance was well done as well. My only issue is that I wish the author had mentioned the previous characters a little more. But it wasn't there story, so.... No matter, as I noted, I am ready for the next installment. When Ms James?

Such a great series!

Any additional comments?

Although this one didn't have as much action from bad guys as the others-it was by no means a downer in the series! Great chapter for a character that was possibly frowned upon in the last book - a simply must to continue!

Great Humor and Developed Story!

I love that story is has romance, fantastic humor, James' trademark snappy dialogue and a touching story of abandonment, forgiveness and new beginnings. I love how James keeps the prior stories connected and give updates on what's happening with her books previous characters!

Better than most

Back On Track!

After the dismal previous book, I took a chance and got this one and have no regrets. Brooke Parker is the legal counsel for a restaurant company, and the US attorney needs her help. Being a smart business woman, Brooke agrees to play ball. The chemistry between her and Cade, the US attorney, is undeniable. Of course things don't go as they plan, the twists and turns adds to the fun.
I enjoyed this one, definitely worth a credit.
