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

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


 




I've followed Rhonda James for the past 3 years and have watched her grow as an author - seen the way that she's evolved by making her characters unforgettable, their daily struggles relatable since they are my own, and especially fell in love with her stories. Some have made me cry, others, laugh, and some, like 13, found me smiling more than once at the fact that the friendships that Sophie has reminds me so much of the ones i have with my friends that i couldn't put this book down.

My only regret is not having had had the chance to read the previous book in this series because i would have absolutely loved to know the story behind Tory's happily ever after, but i can honestly say that it wasn't an absolute must to be able to understand Sophie's story. While part of the List series, what i loved the most about this book was the fact that 13 can still be considered a standalone.

Another favorite part of mine? How Rhonda James slyly added references to her own previous books as works of fiction - can't deny that i fist pumped my hand in the air at how well it worked in the story line. This is a story of how a two individuals think their actions are innocent and is a joke until social media gets its hands on the pictures. It's undeniable how quickly stories can spread through social media with the help of instagram, twitter and facebook, heck, if you want to play chinese telephone, that's the perfect place to start! But, with all that being said, the fact that there was truth behind Sophie and Hawk's attraction to one another made me want to keep reading. It made me crave their story, and of course want to get my hands on 21 (Tori's story and the first instalment of the series).

Considering i've had a chance to read many of this author's books in the past, i find that The List series absolutely puts her abilities in the spotlight. It's a great story, believable characters (even if it is fiction) and more than one way to fall in love with love once again. I can't wait to read more from her in the future and will absolutely keep my eyes peeled for her books.

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.
