A surprise find, Just the Sexiest Man Alive will definitely give you the swoons and the feels. As the first book I have read by Julie James, I was overwhelmingly surprised by how much I loved it. This book is fun! I don’t mean “oh that’s cute” – I mean duck if you don’t want to hit by a zinger kind of hilarious.

With a little over two years left before she can obtain the ultimate goal, becoming partner, Taylor is determined to do what she does best – win. Having never loss a case and always being five steps ahead of everyone else, Taylor is smart, quick, and no-nonsense. With her eyes set on her upcoming case, Taylor can’t afford distractions; however, her boss has a more important assignment in mind.

Recently wrapping up what is already being deemed a blockbuster hit, Jason is preparing for his next role – a legal thriller. A master of his craft, Jason enlists the help of a top litigation firm – requesting to shadow one of their best (and preferably female) lawyers. Setting his sights on Taylor upon initial introduction, he realizes that this little workshop will be both business and pleasure. He has no idea that while most women would sacrifice the air they breathe for a chance with Jason Andrews, Taylor isn’t the least bit interested and makes that proclamation abundantly clear. To her dismay, her protests turns this forced proximity romantic comedy into a hilarious treat of zings, sarcasm, one-ups, and “a taste of your own medicine” that you simply can’t put down.

It is rare that I can read an extremely slow burn romance and still be completely enthralled by it. Just the Sexiest Man Alive kept my attention every step of the way. To watch both of them transform while circling around each other was such a treat. The banter, the sarcasm – both acting as a defensive mechanism but also a love language. I truly enjoyed how much the best friends played a role in their story and the ending, too cute for words.

The icing on the cake: I LOVE Taylor! She is everything I wanna be “when I grow up”. She’s driven, smart, funny, witty, cunning, and can hold her own. The way she plays Jason like a fiddle is an art form! If this was a boxing match, the punches she threw at his ego would have created a TKO in the first round.

If you are looking for a good, funny, pure of heart romantic comedy with the feel of Sophie Cousens or Mhairi McFarlane, this book is absolutely perfect! I still find myself laughing at some of the quick wit throughout this book. ( )

Taylor was my favorite kind of gal: pretty, sassy, smart, straight-talking, no-bullshit taking, with a smart-ass sense of humor. I was less sold on Jason because his attitude towards women seemed to only change as it applied to Taylor-specifically and not women-in-general. I couldn't quite buy that a dude with such a low opinion of the ladies and a high opinion of himself would actually be a good long-term match. But it's basically a Cinderella story, so okay. Great sexual tension, but no actual on-page sex. Which is also okay, as I'd rather just be told that the characters are having hot sex than have to slog through a terrible, not-hot sex scene (or three). It's definitely one of the few instances where telling is acceptable over showing.

While I really thought that Kate's lady-friends and Jason's BFF were being set-up as sequel bait, it would appear that I was totally wrong. I would have liked to see Jeremy get a book and, by extension, to have gotten a little more of Taylor/Jason's HEA, but I thought that this was a great stand-alone. Julie James managed to write a pretty funny book that didn't veer into slapstick. The dialogue alone would have earned 4 stars. I'd have been happy with this even if I hadn't gotten it on promo. ( )

J’aime ce livre et le scénario qui m’a seduite à ma première lecture, et qui me séduit à chacune de mes relecture ! J’adore le personnage Taylor, qui ne se laisse pas faire par Jason, cet homme qui a pourtant le monde à ses pieds! Elle lui tiens tête, et cela amène parfois des situation hilarante ! J’aime aussi beaucoup Jason, qui évolue au fil de la lecture et nous paraît beaucoup moins’ superficiel que ce’ que l’ont pourrait croire au début du livre ! Une superbe lecture qui permet de passer un bon moment ( )

Taylor Donovan may have been new to Los Angeles, but she certainly recognized a line of bullshit when she heard one.
