*Please note: the giveaway is now closed.
Hey everyone!
I have some news that I wanted to share: the release date of my next book, SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER, has been pushed back one month, to June 2.
Now, I know that I’m a bit of a slow writer, so I can guess how some of you might be feeling after hearing about this slight delay in the release date.
Or, for the super-fans, maybe even something like this:
But I promise you, there’s a very good reason for this teeny, tiny delay. And that reason is . . . I simply needed more time with the book. 🙂
On the upside, I’m really, really happy with the way the book turned out. I don’t want to say too much, but I did some different things with SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER–although don’t worry, it’s still very much a “Julie James” book. And it’s also the longest book I’ve written. Not to mention, the hero, Ford Dixon, looks like this:
Surely, he’s worth a one-month wait, right?
So that’s the low-down. SUDDENLY ONE SUMMER will be out June 2. You can pre-order it now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and iTunes. In fact, it’s currently only $5.99 in Kindle and Google play, so if you pre-order your copy now you’ll lock in that sale price. And who doesn’t love a sale, right?
Now for the giveaway part: As many of you probably recall, Ford, the hero of my upcoming book, first appeared in LOVE IRRESISTIBLY. So this week I’m giving away five copies of LOVE IRRESISTIBLY. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below. (Those of you reading this on my Goodreads page should click here to enter.) Winners can choose between a signed paperback or a Kindle/Nook ebook. Giveaway is international and will remain open until 9pm CST on Thursday, February 5. Good luck!
I think I’m feeling a combination of all of those gifs, haha. I guess, I’ll wait then….:)
Can’t wait, Julie!
I can’t wait!!!!!!!! I totally feel that way…
Can’t wait!!! What an awesome giveaway!
Can’t wait! And, I think I’m feeling a combination of all of those GIFs! LOL
Loving all your books…can’t wait for next one 🙂 eagerly waiting 😉
Yes, you are a slow writer. But your books are worth the wait. Sigh.
I can’t believe I have to wait…..I guess I’ll just have to re-read all you books for the upteenth time! LOl Cannot wait for Ford’s story!
With a picture of that gentleman sitting on my desk distracting me, I would take an extra month, too. Is 119 days to soon to call in sick to work? 😉
Wow, those gifs. It’s like you had a camera in my living room! BUT a giveaway present may tone down the flailing! 😉
i would love to have this since I haven’t read yet! And now I feel I need to read before June lol!
Well,I am sure the wait will be worth it
I don’t mind waiting a little bit longer. I’ll just watch Henry Cavill films to pass the time 😉
I’m also really excited that SOS is your longest book yet!
Thank you for having so many international giveaways. As someone who lives in Europe I really appreciate it x
i can be really patient when i do want something^^
thank you a lot for the giveaway!
Knowing Ford resembles yummy Henry Cavill makes the wait so much more bearable. LOL!
Thanks for the giveaway.
I already own the digital copy but hey- it’s a great book. 🙂
O, so excited! And Ford is incredible!
I absolutely adore all your books. Thank you for the giveaway. By the way, love the gifs.
Dying to read it! Thanks for the chance, Julie xx
Release date postponed! 🙁 noo!!!!! Now u will have to give that signed copy to keep me occupied till then. 😀
I think this is destiny: I was reading “Just the Sexiest Man Alive” when I stumbled upon Ms James’ tweet with a link to this page 🙂
A great book is worth the wait
And an international giveaway is something to be grateful for 🙂
Thanks for the update and giveaway. I look forward to reading it.
I’d rather wait a month and get a Really Fantastic Julie James novel than have you feel rushed and not happy wirh it….;-)
Oh my word – I LOVE Henry Cavill. That’s my copy of Suddenly pre-ordered and in the meantime I will think of Ford and drool.
Looking forward to the book release.
I simply just want to read it right now, but understanding that it actually takes time to write a book, I can accept the delay.
*Picturing eye-candy mans instead of being upset about the release.*
However, it means,I have to reread the other ones… 😀
Love the cover to your new book. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Can’t wait for the new book!
Love this series…and what an amazing birthday gift it would be to win 😉
Till Ford’s story, I’ll be patiently waiting and rereading my favorite FBI series

I know it will be worth the wait.
I wish I didn’t have to wait another month, but you are a great writer and only want to put out a great product.
This book looks like something I need to get as soon as it comes out, what a hot guy.
I would love to win any thing you offer. Reading is my hobby! I collect books for my bookshelves & share them with family & friends. The hotness of the male figures on the front make it that much better to read.
Thanks.
I can’t wait to read it!
I love reading your books, and really wish my library had more of them!
Eagerly waiting nonetheless 🙂
I can totally relate to the all the gifs I believe they are called! But I think I can wait for Ford after that picture you posted!
You’re a new author for me. I’d love to start with the 1st book. A month isn’t too bad of delay for your fans. I’m sure everyone understands, & I’m sure it’s worth it. Thanks for the contest.
Would love to win a copy of LOVE IRRESISTIBLY, as it’s the only one of your books my library didn’t order, so I haven’t been able to read it yet… Please & Thank You!
Totally worth waiting for!
I’d love to win a print copy of one of your books as I’ve read them all in E or Audio.
I’d be SO happy to get a signed copy of one of your books!!
Thank you for the giveaway! Can’t wait until June 2nd!
You rock!
I think it will be worth the wait! Also, I look forward to a longer book from you. EEE! Excited.
Thank you for the chance!
Looks like it will be worth the wait, thanks!
With a muse like that, I can understand the distraction/delay. Thank you for sharing your talent. If I win, I would prefer paperback.
I can’t wait for a new book from you! It’s always worth the wait.
Julie I don’t care how long you take to write the book, just as long as you continue to write! Thank you for your dedication to your fans!
Sad for the delay, but a longer book. Yay!!! And besides, when you are happy with it, we will be too.
Your books are so worth the wait. Looking forward to read Ford’s story.

When I saw this notice I went through a variety of emotions. From rolling around drenched in my own tears and loving what you said about making this book up to your amazing standers. No one compares to you in my book (wink, wink) I guess I can hold on for an extra mouth. It just makes the suspense better.
Love you 🙂
