Somehow You Knew by Harlow James
Carrington Cove #5
Release: July 10, 2025
ABOUT THIS STORY:
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?

Somehow You Knew by Harlow James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well, that was emotional … *blink* Every story in this series has been emotional in its own special way, so I wasn’t not prepared for it, but Somehow You Knew was emotional in every way. Like even the lighthearted points were emotional. I don’t quite know how to explain it, and maybe I was just in a mood LOL, but it all made me
feel
something. My heart was at play throughout the entire story, and it was just so uplifting even when I cried like a baby!
I got to listen to the ALC narrated by Erin Mallon and Brandon Francis and I was truly transfixed by their performance. I began listening to this audio on my drive home from work and when I got home, I realized this was the kind of story that was going to need my full brain. That wasn’t just because the story itself had so many “nooks and crannies” (if that makes sense), but because Erin and Bradon’s performances were so intune with their characters and the story that they made me want to “stop and listen” and do nothing else. And so, I did, and it was just *happy sigh* (with a whole lot of tears)! I’ve known Erin’s power as a narrator for years, but Brandon, I just met, and I can’t wait to get to him better!
Harlow James continues to impress me with her thought-provoking, realistic-fiction, heartfelt storylines that are well thought out and developed with characters you want to be in your real life. She’s an author that has impressed me from the very first story I experienced by her, and I cannot wait to get lost in her worlds for years to come!
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 😉
