Another great addition to the Rivers Wilde series!
I’ve spent one day reading The Jezebel and I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed reading Stone and Reagan’s story and I especially fell hard for Stone!!! This story was full of angst and drama but it tore at my heartstrings in the best way. Stone had me captivated from the moment we met him and while Reagan frustrated me at times, I could understand her reasoning.
I have fallen in love with Rivers Wilde and I hope Dylan Allen gives us more in this fantastic series!

**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
The Jezebel was a very multi-layered contemporary romance. The main characters Regan and Stone are very likable, and share a strong connection that I could really feel coming off the pages. I loved that instead of flashbacks we got to see it all happen in a linear storyline from the moment they met when Stone was just ten years old and Regan eighteen. Regan gave him a place where he could stay safe and be himself, and the friendship that developed was pretty wholesome. However, after an incident Stone, who has developed a crush on Regan, feels betrayed when he sees her with her 'boyfriend' and they don't see each other again for the next seventeen years.
These two are reunited in Mexico and they become intimate. However, Regan who even though has been living separately from her husband for the last five years is still legally married. What happens in Mexico, stays in Mexico is how Regan is feeling about the whole situation at first. However, Stone is already too invested and will do anything in his power to show Regan that they are meant to be together. Honestly, Regan did a good job in trying to control her feelings and make sure her 'perfect' world shown to the outside wouldn't collapse. She has her family and kids to think of, but the heart wants what it wants.
"It's his wonder, his compassion, his conviction, his tenderness. It's the way he wears his heart on his sleeve and the way he listens."
Stone was such a nice, possessive, and drool-worthy boyfriend. He is also very smart and very protective. Regan is a strong and loyal woman, who finally decided to take the step to live the life that she deserves to be living. These two were such a great match and I loved their interaction. It was very poetic and sweet, and it really brought a smile to my face. Stone's determination was very admirable, because Regan sometimes didn't make it easy for him. It was also nice to see what all the characters from the previous books in this series were up to. The relationship of the main characters with their siblings was very complex, but I enjoyed seeing them interacting with each other.
The Wilde and Rivers families are much more interconnected then they could ever imagine, so the added suspense/mystery layer was refreshing. I can't continue without mentioning that the sex scenes were super hot and steamy. I couldn't get enough of them, especially Stone was very eager and talented. Furthermore, the author did a good job in telling Stone and Regan's story and I was glad this book was a bit longer than a normal full-length novel, because it really needed all those extra pages to fully tell it.

AHH collecting my thoughts after this book is hard. Because it touched me in such a special way.
Dylan composed a story that played like a music. So many epic scenes in this book, wich cought my heart from the first page.
All this words were perfectly choosen to deal with all this serious themes that this Author did in this story.
I was drawn in to the story because of the way the characters gave in to their feelings. Again there was a special energy between hero and heroine that set my heart on fire for them. So many sparkles jumped over on me from the pages.
All those dynamics in one story made it so much more than just a love story.
This intensity in this book took my breath more than one time. The other moments i cried oud loud and then there where moments where i laughed.
Epic characters epic story addicting words made it really hard to put this book down. Seeing rivers wild from Stones and Regans perspective, because they seemed like interesting characters in former books in that series.
Reagan is a strong women who knows how to overcome hard things and she does everything for the persons she loves. She has a lot of energy and love to give. Firce and brave are words to describe her well.
Stone is a young man who is strong and ready to fight for what or who he wants. If he loves you he does anything for you. Family is important to him.
To conclude i'll say that all words i can use to try describing aren't doing justice to this wounderfull story Dylan created here. Drama plus smalltown story, plus love. Yo need this story in your live. This combination is epic and perfect and pure addiction so it gets all the stars from me the magic seven stars.

I think this was the best story of the 3 books. I really liked Regan and her background and was pleasantly surprised it stood quite on her own. Stone was the bomb. I want a Stone.

I can’t tell you how much I loved this book. Regan & Stone came alive and were in brilliant color. I loved how they started. I loved that she told him “I water you, you water me. Together we are gonna grow.” It truly should be the way to live life.
I hated that she had to walk thru so many trials. Regan carries so much guilt from the beginning of her story. We don’t know exactly why, but as the story unfolds it is clear why she does. I don’t believe she should’ve shouldered it all, but from an early age she has been taught it.
Stone is a great character even as a young boy. He felt responsible for his brothers, and was determined to help. He needed someone in his corner, and Regan became that for a short time. I loved that he never let go of the feeling she left in his heart.
Their story is just beautifully written. I want more! I don’t want to leave these characters. I won’t tell you about the ones I hated. You will see who and why I hated them. I fell in love with this author’s words, and the pictures she painted of Regan and Stone. This story took many twists and turns. You don’t want to miss it!

I think it was such a good story with strong characters and a reverse age-gap!!!!!….. but it was way too long!!! The audiobook was 15-hours long!!!!
Regan was a strong female lead and although Stone was a great guy, I didn’t like that he was too raw when talking about sex or desire, it felt out of character

I have really loved this series and sadly I think this might be the last book (not sure but it felt like this was the ending) the flow of this book was a little bit all over the place and I feel like it would have just worked better if the time line didn't bounce around, BUT even with that issue I still loved this one. I am not usually into age gap romance novels but this one didn't bother me, maybe because the author didn't make that the focal point of the story. I loved that she tacked some issues important to women and that Regan found her strenght and stood up for herself and what she wanted out of life. I also loved that her mother started changing and sticking up for herself and kids as well. There are a couple novellas in this same series that I'll check out, but I can't wait to see what else this author has written and will write in the future. Again I like to say THANK YOU for making this book available on audio. Books available on audio help me continue with my book addiction ;)
