BLOG TOUR REVIEW: 13 by Rhonda James

Title: 13

Author: Rhonda James

Genre: Contemporary Romance

About 13:

“Fake it till you make it.”

 A notion I once considered utterly ridiculous. Until one crazy night with a mysterious man resulted in a social media frenzy that had the entire entertainment industry talking.

Seems a fake marriage was just what my career needed to make Hollywood come knocking.

Convincing him to continue the charade was almost too easy. The chemistry between us made it impossible to keep my hands to myself. But it was all just pretend, right? Love was never in the script.

That is, until he re-wrote it.

13 Reasons You Should Stay:  
  1. I’m crazy about you
  2. I make you laugh
  3. You totally dig me

Exclusive Excerpt:

The first thing I noticed were his eyes. Bottle green with the tiniest flecks of copper scattered throughout, and when the light hit them just right, those flecks sparkled in the most intriguing way. His shaggy caramel-blond hair stuck up in all directions, as if he’d been running his fingers through it all day, and the longer I stared, the more I found myself wanting to do the same thing. Tattoos circled both of his wrists, and his ears were pierced and adorned in black onyx. He had a smile that could simultaneously melt your heart and panties. Everything about him screamed male model, and if he wasn’t, then he sure as hell should be. He was that gorgeous. The bar was packed, and he was seated close. So close his muscular thigh pressed tightly against mine, making it impossible to ignore his presence. Not that I wanted to or anything.
By the time I finished examining him, I looked up and found his pouty lips were puckered as if he was deep in thought. Either that or he was thinking about kissing me. Yeah, I knew we hadn’t been formally introduced, but I’d definitely consider kissing those lips. His gaze was intense, and it roamed my entire body, slowly, as if he were cataloging every detail for later when he was alone and naked in the shower. The thought of him naked, alone or otherwise, excited me.
“No one special.” I fidgeted in my seat. “Old boyfriend.”
“If you ask me, he’s a dumbass for letting you get away. You’re much prettier than candy.”
Another blush heated my cheeks as I shook my head and responded, if only to keep him talking, “Ahh, but you haven’t seen this particular piece of candy.”
“Don’t need to. He gave you up. In my book, that’s reason enough to achieve asshole status.” He winked and tipped his glass to mine. “But, thanks to his assholery, you’re here with me. So… to assholes.”
Okay. He was definitely flirting.

   

Sonja's Review


I’ve been meaning to read Ms. James for awhile now both because her books sound like my kind of books and one of my best friends really enjoys reading her, so I figured there would be a good chance that I would as well. And I was right because I loooooooooved 13! It was so fantastic and was the perfect first book to introduce me to this author and I can’t wait to read more! 

I loved Sophia and Jared a lot, although Jared edged Sophia out by only just a little bit. It was close though because there’s so much to like and love about both of them. Sophia holds true to her principles and she works her tail off to achieve her dreams the honest way instead of taking an easier way. She’s strong and sassy, sweet and kind, and she’s a very determined, driven women and I really admired her for that. 

Now, I’m not usually one for southern boys or their twang, but boy, did I love Jared, but when you meet him, trust me, you won’t blame me. He’s just so sweet, patient, attentive, and just every good thing you could want in your hero. Jared’s completely and utterly devoted to Sophia and he would do absolutely anything for her. It was impossible not to love him for his dedication, his charm, or his sweetness. Jared melted my heart way more than once and I know he’ll do the same to yours. 

I really loved reading 13, it was fun and sweet and passionate and full of heart. I loved that Jared and Sophia worked on their emotional relationship before jumping into a physical one. That just made everything more heartfelt and better. 13 made me laugh, it squeezed my heart, and there was a lot of heart melting and warming too. I loved meeting Jared and Sophia and I’m so looking forward to going back and reading 21 and then any books that come after this one! 

13 is the second book in The List series, but it can be read as a standalone, it’s told from Jared and Sophia’s POV, and they do get their happy ending.
