I have been enjoying  this series. Only Jewel E. Ann can gut me and make me laugh in the same book. She has a way with words and will always break my heart in the best way and put it back together. A Good Book was literally that a good book. It was raw .


We get Gabby’s story and man was it a story. She is the youngest sister of the Jacobson family and the first to go to college. Her childhood friend Ben follows her to the same college. She’s there for another guy and he’s there for her. 


The slow burn and turns in the book! I couldn’t get enough of. Must read!

I have been looking forward to Eve’s book since book one Sunday Morning. I could not put this book down. I went through all the emotions while reading this. From smiling to being in tears. The chemistry and banter between them was perfection. This was one of those books once you finish you can’t get it off your mind. Eve and Kyle are perfect for each despite the age difference. there is just something about these two. Loved this book so much and can’t wait for the next book!

Easton and some friends from college created an app for “hooking” up. You match with someone for a one night stand and then go your separate ways. No names are given to help keep one’s identity a secret. 


When he meets his hook up he matched with their connection is instant. He wasn’t expecting to want it to be more. With no way of finding her because he doesn’t know her real name. 


Years later she up and appears and things get interesting. Will these two still have that instant connection? 


Looking forward to the next book!

This is my first time reading this author and I absolutely loved her book. When I started reading this book I had no clue it was part of a series, thankfully I didn’t have any trouble following along. I want to go back and read all the other books.

I enjoyed Blind Side just as much if not more listening to the audio. The narrators were great and pulled you into the story. 


This was a fun quick read that I really enjoyed. I love a good fake relationship story and this one was perfect. I just love Clay and Giana. The banter and the chemistry these two have is off the charts. Blind Side is a must read and will have you turning the pages as fast as you can. I love a good sports/fake dating story and this one hit the nail on the mark. Must read!

We finally have the conclusion to the Badger Creek Duet. When the first book ended with that major cliff hanger I needed to know what happens. Hate Me Not had me on the edge of my seat. I loved Alex and Delaney’s story. The banter and chemistry these two have is intense. This duet is one you don’t want to miss. Make sure you read book one Hate Me first. Must read!

 I have not read the other books in this series. I honestly didn’t know it was a series when I signed up. I will be going back and reading the first two books. You Keep Breaking Us was a page turner that broke my heart. These characters had so much to go through to hopefully make the relationship they both want work.

We finally have the conclusion to Reese and Fisher’s story. There were so many times I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. There were so many things I didn’t see coming. Jewel E. Ann has done it again with this duet. 


I was nervous going into this book. I knew how I was hoping things would go. Both characters had so much growth from the first book. I could not put this book down once I started. I had to know how it was going to end. 


This book was everything and more than I expected. Jewel E. Ann does second chance like no other. I love this duet and can’t recommend it enough.
