Sidney Sinclair vents all of her frustration with her ex-fiancé on a handsome but arrogant FBI agent who hits on her at a coffeehouse by telling him that she knows he is a player, and she is looking for something substantial. Minutes later, she discovers the agent is the brother of her sister's new fiancé. Vaughn knows Sidney's assessment of him was pretty accurate, but why can't he enjoy women? The problem is that he is way too attracted to Sidney, even with her list of requirements for a boyfriend. They become friends and then add benefits in rising romance author James' (Love Irresistibly, 2013) sparkling, sexy love story that delivers as much emotional warmth as sensual heat. Action at Vaughn's job is interspersed with interesting details about Sidney's high-powered financial career, and James' smart heroines and fun dialogue are becoming her signature elements. While the conclusion is inevitable, the journey is well worth the read. Fans may also enjoy titles by Deirdre Martin and Christie Ridgway. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.
