What I Need

From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE novel. Riley Tennyson has made a huge mistake. At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself. Showing up to her brother’s wedding pissed off and newly single, Riley seeks comfort in solitude and an open bar, until the gorgeous and irresistibly charming CJ Tully makes her a better offer—a wild night with the master of smooth-talking where nothing is off limits. Riley does what any single woman would do, and a connection is made. One neither one of them can ignore. But when she comes home to the boyfriend she no longer thought she had, Riley buries her secret and begs CJ to do the same. Forget about each other. It was a mistake. That’s all it was... right? Desires are hidden. Distance is kept. Until one night CJ makes the ultimate sacrifice, and Riley can no longer avoid the man she can’t stop thinking about. Not with him sleeping down the hall...

I think everyone who's read the Alabama Summer series has been waiting for CJ Tully's story. I know I have! And CJ is ever the dream guy

I have to start off by admitting that I haven't read any of the other books in this series. Since these are companion novels, this one could be read as standalone... and when I was sent a copy of WHAT I NEED by J. Daniels, I immediately dove into it headfirst. At this point I can definitely say that I WILL be going back and reading the other books in this series now. I'm dying to get to know these Bama Boys on a deeper level!

"I'm lost. So far gone to this kiss. I'm not thinking about anything besides his soft mouth and his rough hands and the scratch of his beard as it burns my skin and hopefully leaves evidence of tonight.
Whatever happens, I want to remember this."

CJ Tully. *sigh* He's my ideal book boyfriend. Assertive, mature, self-confident, and decisive. He knows exactly what we wants. Perhaps it's because he's in his thirties, so much more mature than other guys we read about in their early twenties. But I just loved his go-get-her attitude! He knew what he wanted, and he went for it. Major props to my man, CJ Tully!!

“Do you feel how good we got it?”
“I feel it.”
“It’ll never be less than this, darlin’. Never.”

The chemistry between Riley and CJ was intense. I really enjoyed these two together and was routing for their happily ever after the whole story. Yes, Riley's ex-boyfriend was pretty horrific and a total asshat... but even putting him aside, I just loved the adorable connection Riley and CJ had together. How playful, silly and fun they were, and how you could just tell they really enjoyed spending every minute together, regardless of what they were actually doing. Basically, they didn't just have a romantic connection... they were wonderful friends as well. Connection perfection!

I'll just end this by saying this is a must-read for romance fans!! J. Daniels is one of my faves for a reason. Her stories are never too-good-to-be-true to the point they're unbelievable, but instead swoony, romantic, and always on the realistic side of the spectrum. The perfect romantic comedies. Whenever I'm not sure what to read next, I go to J. Daniels. Add this one to your TBRs, guys!! Now, the most important question... Who wants to ride the Tully Train!?!?!
