Something about you

When a high-priced prostitute is murdered in the neighboring hotel room, sole witness Cameron Lynde's safety is in the very capable but unforgiving hands of FBI special agent Jack Pallas, who thinks she sold him out three years ago on a case involving the Chicago Mob. As an assistant U.S. attorney, she's fully cognizant of the risks, especially since the client caught on videotape engaging in kinky sex is the well-known, married U.S. senator from Illinois, recently appointed chair of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. But as the murderer closes in, Jack and Cameron must put aside their differences to stay alive and solve the case. James has crafted another sizzling, vibrant contemporary legal romance set in her hometown, with edgy banter and edge-of-your-seat encounters between the forces of law and those corrupted by access to power. The sequel, A Lot Like Love (2011), continues the Martino investigation subplot with another FBI agent, Jack's friendly rival, Nick McCall.--Welch, Lynne Copyright 2010 Booklist

Looking for a light, humorous, steamy romance, with a little mystery and a lot of sexual tension? If so, James is the author for you. In Something About You, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde overhears a high-profile murder and must then contend with Jack Pallas, the glowering and disagreeable (but gorgeous) FBI special agent assigned to the case. The tone is light, the characters are likable and funny, and the romance is sizzling hot. Veteran reader Karen White inhabits the persona of Cameron and delivers with aplomb a wide range of vocal emotions. verdict Recommended for all romance collections.-Kristen L. Smith, Loras Coll.
