“I like perfect,” I murmured. “I like imperfect too. I like wild and reckless moments that you never forget.”

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

Good addition to the series. Both Eloise and jasper did a lot of growing up in this, it was nice to be able to watch. I’m glad that the move from “fake” marriage to “you’re my wife” was not painful like it is with the trope sometimes. I honestly would have really liked a little more depth with the conflict with blaze at the end, it felt rushed. I also think that the relationship between jasper and Eloise’s parents could have been explored a little more, I would have killed for a sexy protective husband scene where jasper really stands up to Harrison for Eloise and Harrison realizes the error of his ways haha. Overall really cute and sweet, first 2/3 were almost perfect, last 1/3 just felt a little rushed. Can’t wait to read the next installment
