Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - Jasper Vale

I loved Jasper. I loved this book. I loved Jasper and Eloise together. His mouth was the dirtiest of all the MMC so far. This book did not make me near as emotional as the previous but the plot was soo much better. I felt like Devney Perry did a much better job balancing the explicit scenes and the fade to blacks in this one, much more balanced, very tasteful choice.

Rating: 5/5 stars

Eloise Eden only wants her hotel…but when she drunkenly marries Jasper Vale in Vegas, she fears that her irresponsibility has put her future plans at risk.

Loved loved loved loved loved this. Jasper Vale is a human fire emoji and I’m obsessed. From the first chapter, I loved how he saw and appreciated Eloise and would go above and beyond to keep her happy and safe. And all the “my wife” lines? Perfection. Eloise is also fantastic and easily my favorite of the Eden sisters. Her heart, her capacity for love, and her bravery are just so wonderful and I was so happy to see her evolve through this story arc (and really through the entire series so far).

There was a particular plot element that bugged me a little for personal reasons and almost made this 4.5 stars, but in the end it made me cry, and y’all know the rule. If you’re keeping score, my current series rating is JUNIPER HILL > JASPER VALE > INDIGO RIDGE > CHRISTMAS IN QUINCY (novella) > GARNET FLATS.

CW: Gun violence/injury/death; animal cruelty/death; infidelity

It was a super cute story! It was nice to hear Jasper’s and Eloise’s story. I felt like their partnership was a little random, but I grew to like them. Also, the mystery/intense part felt super rushed. Felt like it was only dedicated 2% of the book too.

ladies and gentlemen, jasper vale has officially claimed the top spot on the hottest book boyfriend chart this week !!!

this book got me in my feels and i realized marriage by accident / convenience might be one of my favorite tropes. every time jasper refers to eloise as "my wife" i went crazy. when he calls her "angel" i went crazy. when he visited her at work just to let her know he's going somewhere and kisses her forehead before leaving I WENT CRAZY. all i can say is i fell in love with jasper at first "eight. count again." that line is iconic the man knows what he's doing!! i also notice that this series has a plot pattern lol at certain percentage i know something dramatic would happen, but overall i loved this book and their a-frame cabin <3
