Title: Blushing
“Just the Sexiest Man Alive” by Julie James

Reviewed by T’s Blogging

Good morning family, friends, and page watchers. Well, it's safe to say that for whatever reason I cannot, for the life of me, stop browsing through the erotica and romance genres. I stumbled upon Author Julie James' novel by accident. Or shall I say it was by fate? Almost immediately, I fell in love with the main character, Taylor Donovan. And could not put this book down. I found myself blushing, giggling, and yelling as Taylor, briefly relocates to L.A. to work on huge case, and finds herself in a mess of all sorts. So, what happened?

Without giving too much of the story away here's a quick recap. Taylor is forced to work with a cocky, gorgeous actor, by default I must add, by the name is Jason Andrews. With women practically losing their minds whenever Jason is seen, he'd developed the idea that he's this irresistible god sent man. And that all women desire to be with him, which includes the head strong Taylor Donovan. As the story unravels readers learn that an issue from Taylor's past, along with Jason's enormous ego and whorish tendencies, keeps her from entertaining the idea of dating a man like him. However, as many of us know, sometimes we ignore all the ringing alarms and find ourselves dating a guy that totally goes against our better judgement. And guess what readers? Taylor is no different. 

Honestly, this was a really great read. For you book lovers that enjoy romance novels without the explicit scenes, this book is for you. This conservatively written novel is charming.

I give "Just the Sexiest Man Alive" 4 1/2 stars.

Reality TV has become a huge part of society and anyone looking to get rich quick should look no further than an audition. A group of contestants, five men and 5 women, signed up thinking they were traveling to Madagascar to participate on a show in which Survivor meets The Real World. However, on their way to the island there is a major terrorist attack, the island closes its borders, and the contestant’s plane crashes in some jungle in Africa. These contenders now must survive while watching the rest of world crumble.

This book has a plot that once you think you have figured it out, you probably have, however, the twists are still there. The story is well-written and it is a page turner throughout, not once slowing down. From start to finish the reader will be captivated. Although the plot is not too unexpected, honestly, it is just that good. My adrenaline did not slow down until I read the last word.

Eric Knight has written a novel that if it ever were to become a reality I would be terrified and yet enthralled. The ideas he presents in this read speaks to the very nature of society, as it is today. We are desensitized to horrific acts, we can’t turn away, like a bad car wreck you have to keep looking. While it was not a mystery book nor that difficult to deduce where they plot was heading, the ideas presented are very intriguing. It could be seen as a glimpse into the future of TV if the right people and the right prices are involved.  With all the dystopian and zombie apocalypse movies and books filling the shelves this book was a great change of pace. It was a good dose of reality.

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Enjoy!
