Love & War

This book is laugh out loud funny, sexy and romantic. Love & War just about had me rolling on the floor laughing. I was definitely laughing out loud – so much so that my husband wondered what I was reading and had me read sections to him. It's the 4th book in the Texas Billionaires Club but it easily stands alone. I highly recommend the other books, however, as they are also great stories. I enjoy all of the books that I've read by these two sister authors – both what they write together and individually – but I don't seem to get around to reading a lot of romantic comedy these days. I'm so glad that I was asked to do a beta read of this book for them; it was a refreshing change from what I've been reading lately. Gage and Sophie don't meet under the best of circumstances and she certainly didn't make a good impression on him. He thinks she's clumsy and not really any good in the Army National Guard. Sophie hates how judgmental her new boss is and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. When she realizes he's the man that she made passionate love to all night recently she can't believe it and vows to stay clear of him. Add in a crazy cat named Cujo, a dog named Rambo and her sneaky, prankster brother, Bryce, and you have the recipe for a deliciously funny and romantic story. If you like romantic comedy I can't recommend this one highly enough. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author. ***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions dot com***

Elle James - Love & War - (Texas Billionaires Club - Book 4) The series is about four (4) College buddies, (Tanner Peschke, Jesse Jordan, Rip O’Rourke and Gage Jenkins) who made a commitment to each other that they would become billionaires by the time they were thirty (30). If you haven’t read the other books in this series, give yourself a treat and read them today. First you need to know that this is one of the best romantic comedy books I have read in a long time. You will find yourself LOL until your sides hurt. It is also one hot white passion that will have you fanning yourself. Don’t’ miss this one. Sophie Keaton was a Lieutenant in the Army National Guard and when she wasn’t with her unit, she was at her art gallery. Sophie knew she was a workaholic so she decided to start dating again. But, she ended up in the emergency room because her “date” was allergic to Sophie’s cat Cujo. Gage wasn’t sure that he believed in women in the Army and after Sophie’s disastrous performance his first week-end as Captain, he believed that he was right. He thought of her as homely with her Government issued ugly black glasses, clothes too big for her and she was clumsy like none other. As an example: The rain was coming down in buckets and the unit was scheduled to an afternoon road march. Sophie felt like a drowned rat and when the mud sucked her boots into the mud and pulling her down with each step, she stepped down from a ravine and landed in a muddy hole. With the weight of her rucksack she went backwards and landed in deep mud. Trying to get out, her foot slipped out from under her and she slid down the hillside and toward her unit at the bottom of the ravine AND took out the Captain. She swept his legs out from under him, he landed with a whoosh on top of her and they plowed into the group of soldiers causing a domino effect. LOL Sophie was with her brother Tanner at a local bar drowning her sorrows from her night in the emergency room with her “date” and after too many drinks she noticed a handsome guy walk through the doors. Sophie never had one -night stands, but she decided to throw caution to the wind. When she woke up the next morning, she realized that the man beside her was none other than Gage Jenkins. She left the hotel so fast and hoped that Gage didn’t recognize her. She intended to forget this ever happened. Fate wasn’t going to let her off so easily because Gage rented the house next door while his home was being built. Gage didn’t recognize Sophie from the one-night stand “or” the fact she was “the” LT of his unit. But Gage finds himself attracted to his new neighbor but Sophie worked late or hide out from him. What is he going to do? Find out if they get their HEA or will Gage walk away when he finds out she has been lying to him? “I volunteered and received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.”

After a rather difficult week, I picked up Love & War. The book immediately grabbed my attention, and there was one funny moment after another. Sophie was funny, Bruce was funny, and Gage was the best confused man for their comedy. Gage was kind of clueless and confused at the beginning, which made him more endearing. Gage and Sophie were fun, funny, and sexy together. I really liked Bryce, and hope he gets his own book. My mood was considerably lighter after finishing this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
