Jersey Six

It’s well known that I’m a HUGE fan of this author’s stories and writing style (she goes where it hurts!!), and when my fellow readers came back to me, ecstatic about how they devoured it, I was THRILLED!!!

Robyn: Okay Gang, you guys have got to read Jersey Six by the fabulous Jewel E Ann. This Author just gets better and better with each book she writes. Her mind and writing style just blows me away. The characters in this book took me through every emotion. My feelings were all over the place. read more

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

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

Book Review – Transcend by Jewel E. Ann

Transcend (The Transcend Duet Book 1)
I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! Oooooooh boy what an ending!!!! I need to hurry up and finish this review so I can jump into book #2. THANK GOD FOR COMPLETED DUETS!!!!!

Oh my what a 5-STAR READ full of intrigue, emotion, intensity, and heartache, and love-triangley delight. And best of all. I love that this author explored something (is exploring something) that absolutely fascinates me and always has.

This is my JAM!!!! And apparently it’s OUR jam!!! 😉

Maryse: Okay I have to say I’m so utterly hooked on Transcend. I’m 3/4′s of the way through it and will devour and finish the rest within the next couple of hours and move right on to Epoch. What I have to say is I BELIEVE everything (relationship-wise, fight-wise, jealous-wise) that I’m reading. SUCH REALITY in these scenes. read more

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!)

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
