“Be specific….” Jonas is my fave Brash brother next to Micah. Found/chosen family is one of my favorite tropes and the Brash brothers do not disappoint.

This was a raucous ride of emotions. Jonas is a special guy and Janey is just as special. Both have doubts and issues but man what fireworks!

Loved Jonas, reminded me of people I've been friends with over the years. Liked Janey. Liked the slow burn vibes. The denouement just kind of...petered out. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't satisfying either.

Jonas is the brother I’ve been waiting for and my excitement only tripled once he met Janey in Colt’s story.

Jonas and Janey both walk through and process the world a little differently and are beautiful of examples neurodiversity.

Jonas is on the autism spectrum and I feel like Jenna handles this subject well and consciously. The Brash Brothers series has never been about trying to “fix” or “solve” Jonas, but instead accommodate his needs to help him achieve success. He’s a badass character and I personally loved the way his mind worked and related in more than one instance.

Jonas’s obsession with Janey hit him out of nowhere and when Janey needs rescuing he knows just how to save her—offer himself up for a marriage of convenience. He’ll solve her problems and she’ll give him a real chance. The only catch? Janey’s pretty confident she can fall for Jonas, but she’s more worried he’ll realize she’s not worth it.

Seeing Janey work through and overcome a lifetime of being made to feel less than and worthless was tear jerking. Watching these two love each other was everything I could have hoped for and more.

I knew I was gonna love Jonas & Janey. I was 1000% correct! Jonas is so lovable, and Janey is a sweetheart. They were perfect for one another. So many things happen in this book, but it was the perfect combination of love, family and fun. This series doesn’t disappoint at all!
