Summary

~ Shortlisted for the ALA's 2015 Reading List for Best Romance
SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO SAY "I DO"
After a humiliating end to her engagement, investment banker Sidney Sinclair is done with commitment-phobic men. But when her sister winds up engaged after a whirlwind courtship, Sidney is thrown into close contact with exactly the kind of sexy playboy she wants to avoid--the gorgeous best man. She's stuck with him, for better or worse, until her sister walks down the aisle, but that doesn't mean she has to give in to his smooth advances, no matter how tempting they are...
BUT HE MAKES IT HARD TO SAY "I DON'T"
Special agent Vaughn Roberts always gets his man on the job and his woman in bed. So Sidney's refusal to fall for his charms only makes him more determined to win over the cool and confident redhead. Only what starts out as a battle of wills ends up as a serious play for her heart. Because the one woman who refuses to be caught may be the only one Vaughn can't live without...

Kirkus Review

Attraction sparks between FBI agent Vaughn Roberts and Sidney Sinclair when they meet, but she's looking for a relationship, not a playera situation that becomes increasingly complicated when they're forced to plan a wedding together.Professionally, Sidney has reached the pinnacle of her career, moving back from New York to Chicago to accept the position of her dreams. Which almost makes up for the fact that the man she thought was her perfect match cheated on her two weeks before they were supposed to get married, six months ago: "As a director at one of the most successful private equity firms in the country, she had great instincts when it came to determining whether a company was a good or bad investment....Now she simply needed to apply those same instincts to her personal life." After a disastrous blind date in a coffee shop, a sexy FBI agent hits on her, and every one of those instincts tells her the man isn't a good bet for long-term commitment: "Because, in truth, any woman who allowed herself to be swept up in the romantic fantasy of dating this kind of guy would be ignoring one crucial fact. This guy was a bad investment." Rejecting his come-on in no uncertain terms, Sidney heads off to meet her sister's new boyfriend and is shocked to discover that the two are engagedand that the sexy agent is the boyfriend's brother. As best man and maid of honor, Sidney and Vaughn are thrown together to help plan a quick marriage (her sister is also pregnant, though they're keeping it secret from everyone but Sidney), while their simmering attraction boils over, creating a whole new set of conflicts and obstacles to their shared happiness. James is a contemporary romance superstar, known for intelligent characters and quick, witty dialogue that ratchets up intense sexual tension. Her new novel goes in a slightly different direction from her recent titles, creating strife without any external suspense devicesto great effect.Sexy and effervescent.

Booklist Review

Sidney Sinclair vents all of her frustration with her ex-fiance 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 fiance. 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.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2014 Booklist
