“Look The Part is my new top favorite from the inimitable Jewel E. Ann. Delightfully quirky, funny but deeply emotional, Look The Part was pitch perfect. I loved everything about this five-star read!” - USA Today bestseller Ella James
Look the Part, an all-new “emotional and breathtaking” standalone from
Jewel E. Ann is available NOW!
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.
REVIEW
When the Prologue pulls you in and puts your heart in your mouth you know you're in for a great emotional read and Jewel E. Ann certainly delivers.
LOOK THE PART: is a full length standalone contemporary romance novel and is told in ‘Dual Perspectives’.
"Feelings are our greatest compass. They will always lead you to the truth."
Flint Hopkins had the perfect life, a loving wife, a two year old son who they love beyond words and are planning to expand their family. Everything changes one night while out celebrating his birthday leaving him widowed and raising his son alone. Now ten years later, Raising his son Harrison has brought it's own challenges and Flint is still trying to pick up the pieces while drowning in guilt that he still harbours. Flint never expected his life to change again. But that all changed when his new tenant came banging into his life.
"Live or die, Flint ... but don't sit in the fucking middle just ... existing."
Ellen Rodgers is bubbly and fun, with the attitude that life is too short not to be who you are. Helping and healing people through music therapy is not only her job but her passion. She's moving into her new office space and trying to move forward with her life after her world came crashing down. Things are about to get very interesting for Elle after meeting her new landlord now deemed as “sexy guy in a suit” who is nothing but serious and abrupt with her. Elle just can't help herself when ruffling his feathers even when she's putting her foot in her mouth.
Look The Part was an all-consuming, deep, emotional, sexy seductive read. This is why i love Jewel E. Ann reads every second of the pain, desperation, love, and happiness these characters go through you feel. There was great chemistry not just between Flint and Elle. But the closeness of family how they talked to each other was not only endearing but quite funny too.
Flint’s son, Harrison at time really stole the show for me. He may be socially awkward and emotionally detached, but his bluntness is charming and you can't help but smile and laugh at the way he sees things. Again the family life was not only heartwarming i felt was portrayed in a realistic light.
There is so much more to this read and i would highly recommend if you love a read that truly has it all.

Excerpt:
There’s something thrilling, even a little forbidden, about a man in a perfectly-tailored suit. Flint Hopkins wears the hell out of a three-piece suit.
Not a single wrinkle.
Not a hair out of place.
Not a scuff mark on his shiny shoes.
His lips move, but all I hear is “I wore this suit for you today” as his hands make their rounds: caressing the buttons on his jacket, twisting his cufflinks, and adjusting his tie. It’s sophisticated fidgeting.
“You said you’re a therapist, not a music teacher.”
Observant men are sexy too.
“I did. And I am. Specifically, I’m a music therapist. Do you want me to explain what a music therapist does?”
“No. I just want you to look for a different space to rent. I’ll give you two weeks.” He turns and makes it out the door in three long strides.
My toes are on his heels in seconds, chasing him down the stairs. “Wait? You’re evicting me?”
“I’m giving you notice.”
“Notice? You’re kicking me out for what? Doing my job?”
“Preventing me from doing mine.” He pushes through the door at the bottom of the stairs and makes a sharp right.
“Hey, Boss, how’d it—” Amanda’s gaze moves from Flint to me as I follow him into his office.
“Hi, Amanda. Would you happen to have the name of a good real estate attorney? I may need to sue my landlord for wrongful eviction.”
“Um …”
Flint turns, halting my forward momentum a second shy of slamming into his chest. “Shut my door, Amanda.” His eyes narrow.
I don’t care how hot this guy looks in a suit. I won’t recoil under his glower. “Please leave it open, Amanda. I may need you to be my witness.”
Arrogance tugs at his mouth. “A witness?”
“For when you threaten me.”
He unbuttons his jacket and takes a step back. A whoosh of oxygen leaves my chest like it’s attached to him. The man has an air of confidence and mystery about him that commands attention.
When he turned around to face me a few seconds ago, I sensed the slightest agitation in his narrowed eyes and flared nostrils, but not anymore. It’s not hard to imagine Flint Hopkins in a courtroom—cool, calculated, ruthless.
“You seem to be an intelligent person, so surely you can see how the noise level of your profession could distract me from doing mine. I think sharing space with other businesses is not a good idea. You need a building of your own or maybe you should work out of your house.”
“I live in an apartment. And I’m sorry, Mr. Money Bags, but I don’t have the cash flow to buy or rent a building all to myself. You’re an attorney. How often are you even in your office? And when you are, what are you doing that requires complete silence? Charming snakes? Narrating audio books?”
