You NEED to read James's latest!

When Trinity Carlson’s dreams of becoming a famous artist are shattered and her sister gets the family pearls, she goes to a dive bar to drown her sorrows. When she sees her ex and his girlfriend there, it’s the last straw. Starved for a relationship and angry to boot, she grabs the next guy she sees and plants a whopper of a kiss on him. Walker Lund is not so surprised that he kisses her back. In fact, he enjoys it so much, they spend the rest of the evening together. He gets her name and number, both false, and hopes to see her again. Fruitless in his attempts, he gives up hope until they appear at the same charity workshop. Will they work things out given this second chance or will secrets keep them apart?

JUST WHAT I NEEDED is a wonderful follow-up to WHAT YOU NEED. Although each may be read as a standalone, you should treat yourself to both. You will enjoy Walker and Trinity’s journey to their happily-ever-after as they both grow emotionally and personally. Although not as sexy as Ms. James’s usual fare, there’s plenty of spice. Lively banter keeps things interesting in this fast-paced story. I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to all readers of delightful contemporary romance.

Loved it!

I received an ARC of this book which did not impact my review at all!
Just What I Needed is the second book in the Need You Series by Lorelei James and features Walker Lund the “lumbersexual” hottie of the Lund Family. Walker, is the lost soul of the Lund Family, the quiet more reserved sibling who has always loved to build rather than be part of the family empire. Walker is one of my favorites of all of Ms. James heroes. He is thoughtful, brainy, kind, independent and a hard worker. He meets artist Trinity Amelia Carlson, a bit of a lost soul struggling to make sense of a life that is a sad and lonely. The sparks fly between these two instantly. There was a moment after a couple of chapters that I fell into the book and was nearly late for work. The buildup of this romance was quite long and worth every minute of it. I wanted to take a stick to many of the Lund Family members in this story as in the “over-achiever” mode they lost track of Walker. Highlights of this book were Selka Lund speaking her mind on the step-monster. I wanted to stand and applaud! I also loved the way that the Lund Family mended their fences and made right with Walker and Trinity. This story is all about how people cannot be defined by who their parents are and what they are occupation is. We get glimpse of the next books in the Lund Family line. My only negative is that the book ended a bit flat and abruptly for me… I always love a really juicy epilogue. But all in and all a great book! Thanks Ms. James!

A New Must Read in the Need You Series! p.s. You’ll fall in love with Walker Lund

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2016

A second book, told in first POV, in a hot new contemporary series by Lorelei James. This book catapulted my love for the hard working outdoorsy man right back to the top of my heartthrob list. The Lund men have proven to have it all whether they don a suit or wear flannel. I need a Lund man in my life.

Trinity Carlson is completely relatable. I found myself thinking, “This is me. I feel the exact same way.”
Trinity is quirky, funny and like many of us, full of self-doubt. She’s an artist and sold numerous paintings, sculptures, mixed media; you name it and Trinity has a hard time locking down her one true specific art craft. Yet, every time she is commissioned she wonders if she is good enough. Her history and background don’t help squash those feelings, but I’d like to believe it’s a human trait we all share. Whether you are a lawyer, a baker, a swimsuit model, or a stay at home mother it is a battle we all face. At some point we stop and ask, “Am I good enough?”

Walker Lund is my new favorite book boyfriend. The rough hands, the man-bun, and his soft beard. The man screams hot, sexy male. Yet, underneath the rough exterior is a gentle heart, of what I believe, is the sweetest Lund of the family.
Walker runs a construction business with a partner that is not a fellow family member. He feels he is the black sheep of the Lund family tree because of his choices that led him down a different path than his brothers/sisters/cousins, but as you get to know him you see that he is the one that everyone in the family turns to when they need help. Walker Lund is swoon worthy on every level and checks off every box for hunky, hot and down right panty-melting. I’m really hoping Lorelei knows him personally and this entire story is actually a biography. ~Sigh~ A girl can wish.

The sexual tension between Walker and Trinity was enough to pretty much melt my iPad. Roting for these two was easy and I couldn’t stop reading once I started. If you read the first book (which you don’t have to because this book reads easy on its own) you will love catching up with the entire Lund family. Lorelei has a knack for building families you can’t wait to catch glimpses of.

What I Needed is just what this book delivered. I honestly did not think I would like this one better than the first in this series but boy was I wrong! I LOVED this book! Walker and Trinity are the perfect ying and yang. I loved that Lorelei made Trinity quirky and imperfect, just like women are. She kept her real and didn't make her all conform to what the man wanted. And Walker??? Sheesh what can I say about him other than he's the perfect man! Now he has his own issues, again, something I love that Lorelei does to her characters, but he is just so sweet. The way he cares about Trinity is just the bomb!

Lorelei writes her characters so they pull you into their world. You feel what they feel and want them to succeed. I have read everything this author has written and I can honestly say she keeps getting better. Read this series, you will not regret it and hey, you may just fall in love with these characters like I did.
