Thank god she found reason one day, after seeing her best friend Vivi get hurt from her crazy psychotic ex. However, she definitely has to deal with the consequence whenever she sees Hank.
Now we all know that they both have feelings for one another because we are reading from both of their POVs - however, it takes them forever seriously it was a snails pace for them to finally man up and say what they felt out loud. When they finally did that.. I loved them so freaking much that I screamed, shouted, jumped in the air, and was overall super ecstatic about them being together.
Five hundred cheers for those two. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. May 30, Vikki Vaught rated it it was amazing. My Musings There is lots of emotion in this book.

James sibling so with her modeling career apparently coming near it's end, she's lost as to what the next step in her life should be. Hank Mitchell knows all about responsibility.
It's all his life is about. After his father died and his mother began her decent into early onset Alzheimer's, caring for his mother and sisters has been firmly on his shoulders. Finding time in his life for anything else just isn't possible. His attraction to Cat St. James isn't something he can ignore though. Even though they had a rough initial meeting last year there is still something about her he can't resist.
What starts as business quickly turns personal but will either of these two be able to go after what they really want?? A very good read and one I would definitely recommend. Feb 19, Alyse rated it it was ok. This book just didn't work for me. I felt that it focused on how "crappy" Cat and Hank found their lives.

Oct 18, Clorie rated it liked it Shelves: The idea was awesome and Cat and Hanks story and obstacles was by far the most interesting to me, but it wasn't flushed out enough. They had fuel to make this an amazing book but it was just too rushed. On to 3 and to find out if the other siblings ever find out the dad was a cheat and who Jackson is going to be with.

Sep 11, Carolyn's rated it really liked it Shelves: Anxiously awaited this book 2 and wasn't disappointed. I love Jamie Beck's writing. Cat is in a high fashion world and yet there is nothing superficial or fake about her. She is a down to earth, family loving, acceptance seeking woman who was forced to rely on her looks when she didn't have the faith and support of her dad.
She is just wanting someone to see the real her, not the pretty fac Anxiously awaited this book 2 and wasn't disappointed. She is just wanting someone to see the real her, not the pretty face.

Hank has his focus stuck on raising a sister and taking care of a sickly mother, but he can't fight his feelings for Cat. The only thing is he doesn't know if she is playing games with him when she steps away from her glamorous lifestyle. Hank and Cat have a sweet yet cantankerous story. Cat is one that puts walls up to protect herself but with Hank being a contractor with he erect his own walls to protect himself from Cat's games or will he be the one to knock down Cats's walls.

I am hooked immediately by your writing, and the character conflicts are very relatable. Jul 27, Missy Shipp rated it really liked it. Just when I thought the second book in the St. James series could not possibly be as good as the first book, I was ecstatic when I started reading it.
I'm looking forward to the next book which doesn't come out until November. Aug 28, Jess rated it liked it. Honestly Cat is just annoying. I had really expected more from her after reading St James 1, and for her story and life to have more depth after the whole controlling boyfriend issue in the first book. She created ALL her problems in this book: Her best friend was seriously hurt because she couldnt see reality and let her controlling boyfriend go until someone did get hurt, I was completely surprised it wasnt her, although if it was she prolly would have let him get away with it, and would have Honestly Cat is just annoying.
Her best friend was seriously hurt because she couldnt see reality and let her controlling boyfriend go until someone did get hurt, I was completely surprised it wasnt her, although if it was she prolly would have let him get away with it, and would have kept getting back together with him over and over again Because as she kept saying to herself though out the entire book "she deserves assholes". She used her secret as another excuse not to get close to anyone, didnt give Hank a chance to make up his own mind, took that option away from him right from the start, and had intended to take that option away from anyone in the future.
Now no one will ever want her, not only because she only likes assholes and no one real could ever love someone who loves assholes, but because she cant have kids, whine whine whine. Only asses like me, only asses like me, why do only asses like me. BECAUSE you are not a real or fully developed person who wants someone who isnt an ass, and when you finally meet someone who isnt an asshole you not only turn him into one, you also project assholeness onto him!!!!!!
Then when the asshole controlling, abusive ex-boyfriend shows back up she still doesnt man up and actually do something real about it, like throw him in jail where he belongs, she just slaps another restraining order on him fantasizing that another year will make him forget about her when the past year hasnt dampened his stalking, controlling abusive nature for one second.
I can guarantee she is going to end up dead on the same day the second restraining order is lifted. The only reason I am reading the 3rd book is to find out when, upheaving and interrupting Jacksons story, he is going to kill her and how, lol. It gets two more stars than it deserves because of Hank. Another thing to mention is the sex. In all three of these books sex equates love. David and his girlfriend have sex and Vivi assumes that because they do they love each other and nothing should be wrong with their relationship. David and Vivi have sex in the first book the same night he hasnt quite broken up with his girlfriend, just sends her home and she is over the moon because she thinks he finally loves her, but all through out hes been an asshole to her so that should have been obvious.
In the second book, it is the same thing, if Cat and Hank have sex it has to be because of love and sex means that there is love between them. I mean take for example: You had great sex with your stalker abuser too, that should tell you something. James series and, as with the first book, it was a light and easy read and a good way to spend a few hours. Cat and Hank shared a moment when they first met a year or two ago through her brother Jackson, but then Cat got back together with her boyfriend and things have been strained between them ever since.
Hank is one of those honest-to-God good guys and is so easy to like. After his father died while he was a senior in high school, he gave up his college dreams and went straight to work to support his ailing mother and four younger sisters, allowing them to go to college and chase their dreams.
Not falling in love. She finally kicked her psycho boyfriend from the first book to the kerb, and good riddance I say.
While this story focuses on Hank and Cat, quite a bit of it also focuses on Jackson and his behaviour that has everyone concerned. For more reviews, please visit our website: Feb 01, J Alm rated it it was amazing. David and Vivi are getting married. Cat Catalina goes to the doctor, receiving bad news just before the wedding, she has another secret to hide.
In the first book Cat has boyfriend trouble which blew up big time, now she is fighting with her career as a model going on the down slope as she is passed over for a young new face. She sees friend of the family as a way out of her dilemma, but things do not go smoothly. Hank works for Jackson, Cat's brother and he is knee deep in responsibility. He is attracted to Cat on several levels but in the end family wins out.
They have an up and down thing going, but the ending is a sweet one. Can't wait to continue with worth the risk. Best to start with book 1 it will make this one more enjoyable.
Worth the Trouble
Writing is very good and the characters are well written. There are a few errors but it does not detract from this endearing love story. Dec 11, N. Moors rated it liked it. The second book in the St. James series features Cat, the supermodel sister. She's coming to the end of her career as a model and decides branding, using her name, to promote products is the way to go. She also receives some devastating news that makes her doubt settling down in a relationship and having a family.
Meanwhile, Hank Mitchell, the carpenter and furniture-maker who works for Cat's brother, is still fascinated by her though she blew him off in the past. I loved the first book but had The second book in the St. I loved the first book but had some trouble with Cat and her attitude in that story. She's a little better here, but not by much. Hank was a sweetie and here he continues to be a guy any woman would love. Their relationship never seemed all that real to me.
I never really got what they saw in the other that would lead to a long-term relationship. After a lot of angst between the two, the author never resolved that for me either. All of a sudden, everything is fine again without a lot of discussion about the issue that is the crux of Cat's problems. Honestly, I'm more interested in Jackson's story, the next book.
This was just okay for me.
