Quickies
Jade
Jamison
Book Review by Brenda
Wright
Book Blurb:
Sexy
Short Stories and Other Stuff
Quickies is a collection of miscellaneous words that really don't fit elsewhere and certainly can't stand alone. A mixture of poetry, short stories, and bite-sized nuggets, Quickies is full of small stuff that won't consume an entire day of your life but that you'll enjoy just the same. Stories like "Drawn to Him" and "Dancing on Air" are hot and sexy...and fun. And there's also a bonus for fans of Jade's book Bullet--all the stories she wrote for fun for blogs (as well as one deleted scene) are also collected in Quickies. So enjoy Quickies...because sometimes you want it slow and steamy, but other times you want it super-hot, nasty...and quick!

My
Review:
First of all, what a great idea Jade Jamison!!! I love this idea! This book is a compilation of all sorts of
stuff. It was like jumping into the
brain of Jade Jamison for a day and seeing everything that she must be thinking
at the time. There are short stories,
poems, tweets, emails, extra excerpts from Bullet (those were my favorite). It was really a fun read!! Some of the short stories you will wish were
much longer! They get pretty steamy in a
VERY short period of time!! I kinda
wished she’d make those into a whole book!! (hint hint). The office email banter was HILARIOUS! I think it was so funny because it’s soooo what
happens in real life!! Some days
planning a “party” or “potluck” takes precedence over the actual work! LOL!
But by far my favorite part were all of the extra scenes and POVs from
Bullet. Bullet was the first Jade
Jamison book that I read. I fell in love
with these characters. I had read them
all on various blogs, but this pulled them all together (in chronological
order, thank you) so now I can delete those bookmarks I had on my
computer! I know I’m not in the norm,
but I really loved Ethan in Bullet and always kept my fingers crossed for him
during that whole book. I am anxiously waiting
for his book to come in August (huh, Jade!)
Here’s “my” Ethan.....sigh.....
So if you love Jade Jamison (and who doesn’t), and have read any of her
books, or her Facebook posts, or tweets...you’ve got a good understanding of
her wonderful personality. Now, get this
book and you will then know what it’s like to be in her brain for a day! LOL
Thanks Jade for letting Twinsies get an ARC copy for review! It was really fun!

About the Author
Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in
Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade's day job is
teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn't stop her from doing a little
writing herself.
Unfortunately, there's no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women's fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you'll see that her writing doesn't quite fit any of those genres.
You'll have to discover Jade's writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

Angie J's Review:
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
So I am a huge Jade fan. Her book Bullet is STILL a hangover of mine...sniff when i hear Bruno Mars.....Ok lemme get focused and get to chatting with you about this new book of novellas. So this novella is kinda all over the place and that is kinda why I like it??? Does that make any sense? I mean there are a couple short stories and then random little bits of silliness here.
The short story I loved the best was the Lit teacher and her stripper student. OMG I loved it. It was HAWT for sure. The premise is a teacher needs a stripper for her friends bachelorette party. she sees a hot student of hers and asks him to do it. he says yes but at the end of the semester he will contact her for dets. Well they end up having some amazeballs chemistry. He shows up and rocks her and her friends worlds. After he gets the ladies alll sexed up, they leave. He and his teacher stay and have a little "anatomy" lesson........
Another short story i loved was the cheater rocker husband...premise a bunch of bitches approach a bartender and offer her cash to get one of the ladies hubbies to cheat...welllllll, uhm.......he kinda does BUT it was hawt as well. I am not a big one for reading cheating stories but this one was so sweet and my heart broke for rocker man. I loved the twist ending and was like "BOOM BEEOTCH WIFE".
My favorite bits of silliness in between the stories was the office potluck. I can't even really discuss it because it will take the funny out of it or you will say "uhm Angie how is that funny?" But it made me giggle a lot because anyone who works with people knows how difficult it is to plan anything with out people getting made or picky about stuff.
ANYWAY, buy the book people cuz me and Brenda wouldn't lie to ya!!!
