SOMEHOW YOU KNEW by Harlow James is NOW LIVE
Blurb:
I never imagined I’d agree to an arranged marriage for over 5 million dollars.
Not to mention that the man I’d be marrying is someone I’d already met once before.
Gage Kingston waltzes into the meeting with the lawyer unaffected—cocky, tattooed, and acting like he didn’t know who I was.
But after we agree we’d be stupid to walk away from that kind of money, we embark on a six month timeline to riches despite the animosity between us.
Now I’m living with the man his aunt thought would be perfect for me while wondering if the woman was going insane before she died to think this was a good idea.
Then the first letter came.
Turns out Diane had a plan to get us to fall for each other while trying to make our marriage work.
Arguments turn to meaningful conversations.
Innocent brushes turn to lust-filled challenges.
And before I know it, we’re crossing every line we drew in the sand.
Did Diane somehow know that we were meant for each other before we figure it out for ourselves?
Or was jumping into a marriage with a man I barely knew one of the worst mistakes of my life?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I devoured Somehow You Knew in two days. After the tease in the previous book about Hazel and the mysterious guy who randomly drew on her, I knew I had to get into this story, and it was so good.
This story is a great slow burn, and hits all the right notes of spicy and sweet. Both Hazel and Gage have experienced parental loss, and it has affected them deeply, albeit in different ways. There is a great push-pull between these two as they fight their feelings during their marriage of convenience. And the sweet letters and “tasks” set out for them by their matchmaker Diane (her friend/his aunt) were just so cute.
On top of the slow build in their romance, Gage is keeping a pretty major secret from Hazel, and it comes to light in the worst possible way and has the potential to change everything between them. Once his truth is revealed, Gage’s reluctance to emotionally get involved with Hazel all makes sense. But when the going gets tough, Gage realizes that Hazel is everything he never allowed himself to have. And with the extended Sheppard family, he has the family surrounding him that he’s longed for.
This was the first audio I’ve listened to with Brandon Francis narrating the hero, and I thought he did a great job of playing all the nuances in Gage’s reluctance to get involved with Hazel, fighting his feelings, and the vulnerability of the character once his secret is revealed. Erin Mallon, as always, did a great job with her portrayal of Hazel! She’s a frequent narrator for a reason!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
Meet Harlow James:
Steamy Romance Author
Harlow James is a pen name I use to protect my identity as a high school teacher. Keeping those two roles in my life separate is necessary, but also fun! It’s like a live two lives, and anonymity gives me the opportunity to be bold and take risks in my stories.
I stumbled upon romance novels in 2018 when I picked up Driven by Kristy Bromberg, and I was obsessed. I had just lost my grandmother too, so reading offered me an escape from reality and a chance to grieve on my own terms.
About a year later, I got an idea for my own book and started writing. I researched self-publishing and jumped in with both feet. I had no idea what I was doing!
But now I’ve built a business and hobby that I LOVE! I have an outlet that’s just for me. When I write, I’m not a mom, a wife, or a teacher…I’m a woman who gets to tell stories that no one else can.
My books are the perfect blend of heartwarming moments, full-bellied laughs, and PLENTY of steam to melt your Kindles 😉 And there are always elements of me sprinkled in to every character and story that I write.
When I’m not writing you can find me reading or spending time in my kitchen. I love to cook and feed my family and friends. Otherwise, you can find me watching comedy specials with my husband, camping with our kids, or taking naps. I live for naps 😉
