"Fun screwball romantic farce"
Hollywood superstar Jude Jamison is not used to being
rejected, but Stillbrook, Ohio gallery owner May Price
declines his no longer subtle attempts at seduction. She
refuses to believe that the famous hunk wants some Middle
America spinster like her. Desperate he decides to play
hard ball with his polite rejecter, however swinging his
hard bat fails as he strikes out once again. Ready to lick his wounds as a loser and return to
California defeated, Jude gets a break when May tells him
she has a problem involving her brother. He insists on
helping her and keeping her safe from her problem, but
definitely not from him. However, as he closes in on the
kisses of the century, his past arrives to cause the
couple more trouble. JUDE'S LAW is a fun screwball romantic farce similar to
the madcap movies of the 1930s. Jude is hilarious as
every time he is about to hit a home run, interference
occurs. May is his innocent beloved who denies the
Hollywood hunk is in love with her; she assumes he is
playing and joking though she admits his knowledge of art
is a pleasant surprise. The suspense adds tension, but
also amusement as once again interference occurs into the
seduction efforts of a former love machine who feels he is
too young to be walking on three legs. Lori Foster
provides a delightful lighthearted romantic romp. Harriet Klausner

SummaryWhen it comes to love, he plays to win
There's only so much frustration a guy can handle before he
gets a little nutty. For Jude Jamison, his frustration has a
nameMay Price. She's everything the former Hollywood
bad boy actor came to Stillbrook, Ohio, hoping to find:
open, honest, lovable, and full of those luscious curves you
don't find on stick-figure starletscurves May doesn't
seem to appreciate in herself. Every time Jude tries to get
close to the skittish business woman, to take her in his
arms, she thinks he's joking. Joking? Joking does not
involve lots of cold-shower therapy.
Time for new tactics. If May can't respond to his sly
compliments and sexy innuendos, he'll just have to spell it
out for her. Jude Jamison is going to lay down the law for
May Price. And after that, she'll have no delusions about
just how much he wants her...
