A- rated....
My Review:
A- spicy
One of my most anticipated books to read this year. I have been dying for Kyle (aka: The Twitter Terrorist) story. What I didn't expect about this book was the history between these two, which occurred way before Kyle became the infamous Twitter Terrorist. I love how Julie wrote their story so it wasn't all about the present tense of their lives. There is a long history there for both of them and it really enriched this story.
These two had a chemistry instantly when they met nine years before although Kyle was way too full of himself and cocky for Rylann's tastes. She immediately shut him down, but Kyle didn't give up and then neither one could refute their chemistry and they agreed to a date. A date that Kyle never showed for when his life shattered to pieces, but he never forgot Rylann.
As with all of Julie's books, this book is made by these two wonderful characters. Kyle is extremely intelligent and savvy, but he's also human. That very human side lost control when his Victoria Secret model girlfriend dumped him very publicly on Twitter. In a drunken rage, he shut down the very popular social site for two days. Nope, the FBI didn't take very kindly to that so they and the Chicago Attorney General's office went after him and flambe'ed him in court. The results....Kyle was sent to prison as a felon. Luckily, Kyle has managed to maintain his incredible personality even though he's spent 4 months in prison. He knows that he screwed up in one of the stupidest ways possible and has kept his sense of humor about it. He is also very aware that a girl ultimately caused his downfall, so he is not looking to get involved with another one anytime soon. And that's where Julie nails him by making "the one that got away" show up in his final day in court.
Like all of Julie's heroines, Rylann is smart, independent, with a snarky streak a mile wide. I LOVE her heroines! They are always so much fun to read and they always have the perfect comeback to any situation. In my dreams, I would like to be able to channel one of Julie James' heroines into my personality.
The main conflict in this story is that Rylann just started as an Assistant US Attorney in the Chicago office and Kyle is a felon. The two do not mix especially since Rylann is still trying to make a positive impression in her office. An office which has a long, antagonistic relationship with Kyle.
Filled with TONS of humor and witty dialogue, Julie James proves once again why she is one of my favorite contemporary authors. Another great installment.
