Book Review – Epoch (The Transcend Duet Book 2) by Jewel E Ann

By 21 Comments

Epoch (The Transcend Duet Book 2)
THE WHOLE DUET? 5-STARS FREAKING PLUS!!!!!! I LOST myself in this. Lost in the BEST of ways (and the worst). 

THAT is what I look for in angsty romance reads. I want all of the swoons… yes, but I also want all of the stress and trepidation and potential heartache, believable break-ups and make-ups and oh boy did I get it!!!!

Okay quick note. This review is going to be more of our buddy-read crazy reactions (since it’s a sequel and follow-up to Transcend) there’s no need in me doing a “so what’s it about?” nor do I want to spoil anything coming your way with this one (all of that can be found here in ➔ my review of book #1). So I thought instead, you’d enjoy our awesome buddy-read with us. 😉 read more

UPDATE!!! Our book crew is losing their minds over this duet, and book #2 (Epoch) is going live at midnight. And guess what??? The author is offering a signed set right here for one lucky commenter!
OMG THIS BLURB JOLTED ME HARD!!! He’s a professor mourning his wife and he has to hire a nanny for their baby… but she knows things about him she shouldn’t know… (and the conclusion is going live in just a little over a week!)

R: I started on Transcend last night and it kept me up til 3am. Maryse, you need to read this one! It’s going to hurt. I can tell!!
Cheryl: Love Jewel E. Ann, but think I’ll wait for book 2 to be released before starting Transcend.
Heather: Yesssss!!!!!!
Misty: I’m reading this now! It’s so good. I love her books. read more

Book Review – When Life Happened by Jewel E. Ann

By 9 Comments

When Life Happened
This one has been all the rage since it’s release, and has had so many jaws dropping (and subsequently, quite a few warnings against reading reviews, since a few contain spoilers) and I must agree!!!!! BE WARY!!!!! This one is good, but definitely has a big twist that I didn’t see coming and had me double-taking, freaking out, backtracking and re-reading, just to make sure…

Robyn: I just finished When Life Happened. WOW…..I’m left speechless. I don’t even know what to say. THIS BOOK!! This will definitely be my best read for a long time coming. I don’t foresee anything topping this! My heart will never be the same. Jewel E. Ann, you have a gift, thank you for sharing it with us. read more

Book Review – Only Trick by Jewel E. Ann

By 1 Comment

Only Trick
I chose this one due to my past experience (and enjoyment) of this author’s work, along with that excitingly promising premise!! He’s gay but falls for her??? *gasp!!!*. Plus, a few recommendations saying this one was right up our angsty alley.

Celeste: I read Only Trick by Jewel E. Ann the other day – I couldn’t put it down. I liked the first half better than the second – the sexual tension was off the charts, and it’s difficult to maintain that, of course, once a couple’s ‘together’, but really, you have to read this one! :) read more

Jewel E Ann – Jack & Jill Series Reading Order

By 3 Comments

The blurb for book #1 intrigued me big time, and it looks like some of our fellow readers jumped in (cliffhanger be damned!) and are LOVING this series!

Marina: I picked up End of Day on a whim yesterday and am so hooked. Holy WOW, the emotions. It is PHENOMENAL and feels so different. It has absolutely every feeling, slow build, craziness, sassy, gritty, dark…… I was feeling in a book slump and now plan to read everything by Jewel E. Ann.

Shirley: Im reading End Of Day right now and am at 50%. Jewel E Ann is my new favorite author so I tried and tried holding off starting this series till all 3 were released but so many great reviews and recommendations I couldn’t hold off any longer! I LOVE it- I cant put this book down! I knew I would, all of her books are awesome! I love her writing and the main characters-I fall in love with them all. I would like to meet her, I bet she is a hoot! …Also, the 3rd book of Jewel E Ann’s Jack and Jill series-Dawn of Forever releases Feb. 18. Highly recommend all these!!! read more
