Julie James is one of my favourite romance authors. She manages to create really wonderful characters and incredible romantic tension in all of her books. And Practice Makes Perfect is MY FAVOURITE ROMANCE BOOK EVER! And one of my all time favourite books.. Yes.. OF ALL TIME!! I have read this book so many times I have lost count!
The story line is simple, but it doesn’t need to be complex. It’s all about the tension… Payton and JD work at the same law firm… Tension… They hate each other… Tension… They realise they might not actually hate each other after all… Tension… Loads of funny and heart warming stuff happens, the end.
I know I know, it’s a pile of romantic fluff… But don’t let the seemingly simple story line put you off. The characters are so well written and the tension is SO GOOD that you wont care that there is no murder, mystery or major life shattering dramas. This is a good old fashioned, well written, AWESOME romance book!
Yes the characters are typically good looking, intelligent and talented.. Yes its corny, but I promise you that you will enjoy it anyway.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book was that it was too short! It could have gone on and on and on for another 500 pages and I would have been happy!
Would I recommend it?
YES YES YES YES YES
If you are in the mood for some romance without the tragedy, lots of laughs and a feel good ending, this is the book for you! It is my number one cheer me up book – which I know will put me in a good mood every time I read it! In fact just writing about it makes me want to read it again!
