Trudi’s romance quickie: ‘Just the Sexiest Man Alive’
In Julie James’ “Just the Sexiest Man Alive,” Taylor Donovan is a cool, calm and collected attorney from Chicago. She is assigned a sexual harassment case in L.A. because she is the best in the firm. Because she is the best, she is chosen to coach the “Sexiest Man Alive,” actor Jason Andrews, on the proper trial techniques for his next motion picture.
At this point in his life, Jason is tired of all the women who only want to be with him because of the fame he can provide them. With his reputation as a womanizer, Taylor wants nothing to do with him. She always has been career-oriented and has worked hard to gain recognition in her field.
Jason is baffled by Taylor’s insistence that she cannot be seen in public with him and that there can be no photos of her in the press since she’s working on a high-profile case. During the course of giving Jason tips on looking believable in a courtroom, Taylor ends up making suggestions for movie script changes. Jason, then requests that she help with the whole script for the film.
Taylor, who recently caught her ex-fiance with his secretary, is very skeptical about a relationship with the movie star. Her friends in Chicago encourage her to give him a chance. He is the “Sexiest Man Alive” after all.
Find out what it takes for Jason to overcome Taylor’s insecurities about men — and him in particular in this hilarious and unpredictable novel.
“Just the Sexiest Man Alive” is a great debut for the author. I certainly will be on the lookout for more from Julie James.
