"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.

About Jewel:
Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.

I’ve gone and done it. I popped my Jewel E. Ann Cherry!!! After this emotional journey, I feel the need to look up her other books and get to reading them! Written perfectly, pulling out every emotion available, I could not stop reading it.
Flint Hopkins is a damaged man. After one night of celebrating his birthday turned out to change his life forever, he lives for one thing and one thing only… His son Harrison.
Ellen Rodgers is starting a new life. She’s moved to a new town, started a new job and is moving on from her failed marriage. She is a music therapist for the local hospital and is all set up in her newly leased office to start seeing patients.
When the highly successful lawyer starts hearing bongos, guitars, tambourines added to the ‘wheels on the bus go round and round’ he blows his top. Immediately sets out to terminate the newly signed lease for the tenant upstairs.
The music therapist is doing her job. Not her fault that the ‘sex in a suit’ didn’t understand what her job truly was. She’s going to fight this to the end.
Absolutely loved the banter between Flint and Ellen. Both very headstrong people who have a hard time being convinced to change their way of thinking. But with that being said, they fit together perfectly!
Add in the no holds barred son, Harrison. Who truly speaks what’s on his mind and repeats truthfully things he has heard in conversations meant to not leave the house. I think 7 is a good number…to bad its also considered a D in school, equaling a 70%.
Fantastic book that deals with addiction and autism in a way that will make you want to go out and adopt a couple rats so that you can have your own rat pack!!!
Every once in a while comes a long a book that reminds you why you became a reader and why words transcend you into a parallel universe. Few writers are born to write, NBWs-Natural Born Writers. I'm seeing the same traits in Jewel, she weaves golden words into a magical carpet that flies you up, up and away into the land of fairytales. The words are familiar, story may be too but when she tells it, you have nothing to do but drop everything and listen & read. I started this book today morning. I've not put it down since. I couldn't !! it would've been sacrilege and the characters just tugged at my heartstrings, calling out my name.
Ellen Rodgers is a sunshine bee, radiating glow and warmth. Full of life who has had a ringside view of ugliness in life, yet has somehow not let it dim her radiance, or her love for pet rats !

She meets uptight, sullen and self flagging, attorney/ landlord -Flint Hopkins and it's flint striking a rock. Cause a rock is dead inside, but constant strikes ignite a spark and we have fire.🔥
The classy suited Flint has a whole Lotta baggage in his life. His mildly Autistic son-harrison and his own. He can't go back in his life even for a few minutes and divert a huge disaster that ends his life, his happiness and his will to forgive
nothing can ever make it right again. Not a million “sorrys.” Not the strongest glue. Not an infinity of good deeds.
The story is raw & painful, yet full of hope, just like real life generally is . This life of stolen kisses and brief moments of passion with a man who's capacity to love is infinite yet self forgiveness is zero.
Yet Ellen wants this life.
She wants this Man.
The sentiments that pour into her writing are pure molten lava, burning, scorching and igniting myriad of emotions. There's love and understanding, There's patience and music, there's forgiveness and repentence, and ultimately there's a lesson that redemption may not be the only answer to life's cruelties, sometimes just learning a lesson and moving on is inevitable.
“Sometimes the world ends and forgets to take you with it. I get it."
I'm dumbfounded by Jewel's capacity to so minutely dissect all the life's complex relationships and lay open for us to sift through to pick whatever we want to resonate with us
A story that starts with insurmountable grief, ends in sparkling hope but the journey passes right through your heart.
The promise Ellen makes to Flint ....omg ....i was crying buckets!!
“I’m going to love you so hard, time won’t matter … distance won’t matter … all you’ll feel when you take each breath … is my love.”
And that is what Jewel shows us. Unconditional Love is liquid that fills any vessel, any pit . It molds itself to all hearts, stretches across distances and seeps in all cracks to give new life to barren souls.
My first book by her , but BY god, not last, I AM going to read her other books too.
"God You sure look the part Flint Hopkins!"
Of a perfectly imperfect man, a husband, a father & a superhero without a cape !
First 6 star book of 2018 !
