About the author

Hi readers!
I write contemporary romance about love worth fighting for. Welcome to my page!
I live in the rural south of England with my husband, daughter and crazy sprockapoo.
Until recently, I inhabited the fast-paced, adrenalin-fuelled workplaces I write about, as a communications professional. Now I spend my days dreaming up new characters and stories and trying not to lose my marbles as the mother of a spirited preschooler.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020This is book 2 series it follows about two years after Class act. Zac is nursing his broken heart after Lottie left him for Marcus . The couple is in all the magazines and news and he cant get his ex out of his mind. Plus his father is dying. There is a lot of back story that shows abusive parenting that along with the break up lead to him drinking,sex and using drugs to deal with the pain. His start up company is failing due to his lack of being into his job. Jess is the new hire to fix the marketing problem. The trouble is her boss Zac doesnt want to change anything. As she is figuring out how to force the change to save his company and fight the attraction to her boss. She ends up falling in love. But there is a lot of emotional and verbal issues the two have to work through. Plus Zac has to work through his love for his ex. The roller coaster of emotions is actaully what kept me turning the oage . As much as I wanted to sometime hate Zac who was a dick knowing what he went through made it a little hard. That being said there was times I was mad at Jess as well but the one thing about the author is that she writes in a way that you end up rooting for the two to be together . You feel the pain and the passion. The twist and turns . I really liked the way it ended and the fact that although Zac was being a bad boy or guy gone wrong Jess was able to look past it and see behind the mask. This is great book. I cant wait for the nest book inthe series.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020This novel is #2 in the series, "Square Mile" by author; January James. After finishing "A Class Act", I had to read this novel to see where it was going to go and wow, talk about some dysfunctional family affairs in which affects family members and relationships as they get older. This novel was seriously a roller coaster of emotions from beginning to end. Another well written novel from January James. I'm officially a fan! This was another amazing read with all the drama, heartbreak, plot twist and romance. It was really hard to put down. I would definitely recommend this series, novel and author for all you romance readers out there, it's really worth the read! Happy Reading!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020Book No.2 in the "Square Mile" series. After reading the first book "A Class Act" I couldn't wait to read this one and I was not let down. January James has a brilliant writing style that is confronting, intelligent, compelling, sexy, and sassy! This second book follows on from the first but is easily read on its own.
The story between Zac and Jess is fraught with past anger issues, it may push buttons with out of control drug and alcohol use, and meaningless sex so be aware. How does Zac find his way back from spiraling out of control and can Jess ever forgive him for the ultimate betrayal?
The technical detail into marketing, advertising and even gold ming processes comes across as readily believable and engrossing. Two new books from a new author - this girl has got it! I can't wait to see what else she writes so am following her so I don't miss the next one. If I could add more stars I would!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024I don't know that I have ever felt so blah at the end of a romance. It wasn't a short book but moods seemed to shift quickly and it was hard for me to feel connected to the characters and their motivations.
The MMC was a jerk but I didn't find myself falling in love with him anyway during the story. The only reason the FMC seemed to like him was his looks and very fake charm.
Lots of moodiness and family drama (all on the MMC's side). We didn't get a lot of the FMC. There were some spicy scenes but probably as many with the FMC as without and I ended up feeling more like the FMC should get herself checked after being with him.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020Talk about a roller coaster ride of emotions Zac took me on. He was living with pain from his childhood and a broken heart. His childhood alone broke my heart. He was damaged and hurt. Turning to drugs and alcohol to deal with his pain.
Then Jess came into his life at full speed and didn’t walk on eggshells around him. I loved Jess determination she had when she put her mind to it and always wanted the best for Zac, even if she knew it would hurt him.
Their moments together had made my heart smiling, but then it had me saying what just happened and wanting to scream at Zac. I just wanted Zac to be happy and get everything he wanted. A happily Ever After.
January James did a wonderful job with Zac story. If you’re looking for a good read, “He Turned” will not disappoint. Definitely recommend this book. #HeTurned #JanuaryJames #booklover #romancebooks #HEA #readersofinstagram #happiness #love #bookstagram #bookreview

5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Perfect Read .... read it now...
This Book ,This Book …
After reading January James debut novel A Class Act which I am still is awe with ,this second book He Turned is just as awesome.
I finished early this morning I am still overcome , these characters have become part of my life I can feel the tension between Zac and Jess...All the tension …...
There was no way that Jessica Childs would have known how her life was to pan out when she got the job as Skilld’s new VP of Marketing ..
Zac, her boss was losing control in business and perhaps his life , an awful upbringing which need to be read ….
How I loved this book the characters came to life , the intimacy is written so well I loved every word written...
I knew just knew this would be an all nighter , the words , the scenes the everything that this author writes I feel is just for me ! My reading material..
All the characters hold so much strength
To see how they ,ac and Jess conduct their lives together and apart is written superbly .
Thankyou January James so very much....

5.0 out of 5 stars Bitter Sweet
I absolutely loved this second book of the series.
We didn’t quite learn how devastated Zac was after Lottie left him, Wow he was a broken man. He Turned just about sums him up.
Zac is no longer the person we first met, his walls have well and truly been erected but he’s also still obsessed with Lottie.
His company is falling down around him and he just can’t see it.
Jess is brought in as the new VP of marketing, the company needs to change and she is hoping to be the one to do it. However Jess may have got more than she bargained with Zac!
This is full of emotions and is such a rollercoaster, heartbreaking at times.....bitter sweet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just gets better and better
I loved this book! It was nice to see it in first person with multiple points of view. I liked Jess as a character, she had her moral compass set lovely and straight which also showed Zac he needed to change.
It was really nice to delve deeper into Zac's life and to see how he is due to his past.
It ran at a lovely pace which kept me turning the pages.
I can't wait for book 3 and hope we can see more of the past characters in cameo!
