Review

Morgan/Riley is one seriously messed up woman. She doesn't want to be, but life and events have conspired against her to make her this way. And she wants out of it.

Forced to marry Drew Kelley on her 18th birthday after being sold to him on her 18th birthday, things go from bad to worse. No matter how bad her childhood was, nothing compares to married life.

After years of abuse, she finally gets up the nerve to leave - to disappear without a trace.

Morgan transforms herself into Riley Murphy and moves to small town Misty Bay, Maine. She tries to keep her past a secret, but as she becomes closer to people, her secrets start to come out.

Falling in love with the small town Sheriff Dawson, she thinks she can have everything she wanted if she can keep Drew in her past. But he has a way of messing with her head, even after all this time


A chance run in with her past leads to more complications for her new relationship, along with her old one.


Can new love with Dawson be enough to help her with her past..... for that you will have to read!


Jettie Woodruff has written a wonderful, heartbreaking story. I could completely feel the horror that Morgan went through. I may or may not have shed a few tears along the journey we are taken on.

Drew and Dawson are complete opposites. Drew 1.0 is an evil, horrible being that deserves no sympathy, while Dawson is the sweet, loving, adorable man Morgan/Riley needs.




But then Drew 2.0 - hmmm nope, not going to talk about him.


Will Morgan get the HEA she deserves? Read Underestimated to find out!

You will be in for a ride on the emotional rollercoaster.

Brooke has her dream job, working for clothing giant Jackson Cole.

18 months ago she convinced them to sponsor home town hero and pro surfer Dylan Schell for huge dollars. They haven't been a great 18 months, and now Dylan is off the rails, making media headlines for all the wrong reasons - drugs, partying - often naked

I loved cocky, smart arse Dylan. Sexy, cheeky - naked! What is not to love?

Neither Brooke nor Dylan are looking for a relationship, but can they ignore the mutual sexual attraction? You will need to read to find out!

Brooke has a great family - worry wart mother, mama bear older sister - and boy does Fraya stick up for her little sister.

Dylan's relationship with his best friends Matt and Corey has been strained for the past year, and it plays a lot on Dylan's mind and affects his relationships. Can he fix it and get his best friends back?

Kelly Jamieson has written a well rounded, enjoyable book. I didn't want to put it down once I had started.

Slammed is book 3 in the San Amaro series, however I have not read the first two books, but this did not affect my enjoyment of the book, as it can also be read as a stand alone. I will be going back to read the first two in the near future.

Unscrupulous is book 2 in the Manhattanites series, however Unscrupulous can be read as a stand alone (I have not read book 1 Undressed yet)

Taddy is a Fortune 500 business owner, and a straight talker. Whether it is about business or sex, she says what she thinks - to everyone about everything!

Warner Truman is the 3rd richest man in the world, and after an encounter at a club, he can't wait to meet up again with his "Red"

I loved the story of Unscrupulous - what's not to love when a story has sexy billionaires, anacondas and vajazzling??? Oh, and a leading lady with a penchant for porn!

The one thing that did irritate me thought was Taddy's nickname for Warner - it did creep me out a little bit lol!

Loved Taddy's relationship with her friends, and especially with her personal assistant Kiki. Taddy just has a heart of gold and does anything and everything for not just those she loves, but people in general. After her harsh upbringing it is amazing how different she is to her so called family. My heart just broke for her a couple of times.

Very much enjoyed Unscrupulous, and will be heading back to read Undressed, and wait for more of the Manhattanites!

Rock Bottom follows on from Bullet.


Firstly, let me say that Ethan was on my sh!t list after Bullet. Yes, he was confused and drug addled, but what a horrible human being! Made Bullet a very hard book to read as he was so horrible to those he loved and who loved him. He had the love of a great woman, a beautiful son, his friends and his music, but threw it all away for drugs and cheap women.


Forward to Rock Bottom. Ethan is out of rehab and has finally made the decision that he needs to live for himself and for his son. His doctor sends him in the direction of Drug and Alcohol counsellor Jenna.


I loved the instant spark between Ethan and Jenna from their first meeting. Both troubled souls but both deserving of love. He is setting himself on the right track for the first time since a child, and she has troubles of her own she is struggling to come to terms with.


Ethan has a lot of light bulb moments in Rock Bottom. How he has loved Val from the first moment he saw her, but how they were no good for each other. How he always knew that there was something between Val and Brad (who are now living together) and that he is angry with both of them.


I never thought I would say this after reading Bullet, but I felt for Ethan. Hell I even ugly cried there for a bit. The chapters describing Ethan's descent into the darkness really resonated with me. I have suffered chronic depression, and the way he felt - the wanting to die, feeling useless, feeling worthless, the anger when family and friends won't just leave you alone - I have been there and felt that. Bravo Jade C Jamison for catching that perfectly.

I loved Ethan's road to redemption, and was glad that all the bad stuff was not glossed over to make Ethan become the 'good guy'. He was paying the price for his past deeds and was not getting away scott free, was not instantly forgiven and forgotten the minute he apologised.


Jenna is such a strong character. Fighting her own demons while fighting Ethan's and getting him through them. Just goes to show that even though he loves Val, she was never the right woman for him, could not be what he needed her to be.


I am happy that Ethan came through and got his happy ever after. Yes, he was a dick for so long, but every one deserves a chance at redemption.


And redeem himself he did. He is no longer on my sh!t list!!!
