"All-consuming, deep, seductive, so damn emotional—this book is everything I expect from Jewel E. Ann.”
—Pam Godwin, New York Times bestselling author
Look the Part, an all-new “emotional and breathtaking” standalone from
Jewel E. Ann is LIVE!
Synopsis
Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office.
All the T’s are crossed and I’s dotted on Ellen’s application. Her references are good. And she’s easy on the eyes.
Until …
Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing—not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones.
The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly-humming redhead who's too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen’s side when Flint’s autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can’t compete with guitars—and rats. Yes, she has pet rats.
This woman …
She’s annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him—adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind.
Still …
She must go.
Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.

Shanda - 5 “ROMANCE at it’s best” stars
“Sex in a Suit” Flint Hopkins has just leased office space to the sexy and frustrating Ellen Rodgers. Much to Flint’s annoyance (and lack of observation before he signed the contract HA!) Ellen is a music therapist. Loud music is messing with Flint’s days practicing law and driving him insane. Plus, Ellen cannot keep her hands off Flint. The woman can’t have a conversation with Flint without touching him, getting in his personal space, or adjusting his suits. Her flirtations are wreaking havoc on him. To make matters worse Flint’s son Harrison has taking a liking to Ellen and her pet RATS making it harder for Flint to evict her.
Look the Part is witty banter at its best. I could not keep a smile off of my face with every word spoken between these two. Despite the laughs and funny banter, Ellen and Flint are both dealing with pain from their pasts. They both desperately want to take a leap but is it really the best time for them to be together? Ending things is easier said than done. Events beyond their control force them to take a hard look at where they are going.
As with all of Ms. Ann's heroines I loved Ellen. She is feisty and funny and just what Flint needed. Flint was a man resigned to paying penance the rest of his life but he truly is a good man. He made me laugh and cry. I especially loved how hard he tried when it came to Harrison. He also made me swoon pretty damn hard that last 30% of the book. Thank you so much Jewel Ann for writing Flint’s story. I knew as soon as he hit the page in ONE that I had to have his story. I love a tortured soul and this story paid off for me, BIG TIME.

AMY 4.5 STARS
Flint Hopkins is existing through a life of regret and responsibility. The prologue sets the book up nicely so we understand exactly why he feels this way. What Flint never expected was to feel alive again, especially with his pesky music therapy tenant, Ellen Rodgers.
Ellen quite literally can't keep her hands off of Flint. She loves to touch him, adjusting his suit whenever he's in close proximity. Elle throws Flint off kilter and he's really not sure how to respond to her, or what he's feeling for her. Flint's son Harrison takes an immediate liking to Elle, her music and her rat babies.
When circumstances draw Elle and Flint apart amid their fledgling romance, they must decide whether it's time to sink or swim. Flint really surprised me with his declaration towards Elle at this point; he's really showing her how much he cares for her, despite their circumstances and their separation. The last 25% really had me smiling quite a bit. Overall, a really well-done story.
