Jagger

By: J.L. Quick

Dr. Blake Hart is the doctor when a pregnant woman is about to die. In the country she’s in, they need the husband’s permission to proceed with surgery. Her husband didn’t give the permission but Dr. Hart proceeded anyway and then hid her and the baby. Now the woman’s husband is looking for her and going after Dr. Hart. Enter Jagger. His team has been hired by the woman’s brother to find his sister. When Jagger and Dr. Hart meet, he is adamant that he’s going to ruin her in the best of ways, and make her his.

So… this book has been all over Bookstagram and everyone’s reviews made me want to read this book. Unfortunately for me, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. There were aspects that I loved about this book, but then there are definitely things that I didn’t like about it.

I’ll start with what I liked. Blake going against the country’s way of life and saving that woman and her baby was my favorite part of the book. Blake then goes on to protect this woman and her baby, even putting her own life at risk. It was brave and selfless, and I loved it!

Now, let’s get on to the romance between Jagger and Blake. I didn’t believe it at all. It felt so rushed that I never felt the connection was really established. This is a full length book, but the romance part of it felt like I was reading a novella. I also learned that I do NOT like when the woman calls her man “daddy.” I also didn’t like the punishment scene in the car – leave that for private.

This is a really fast read, and I was able to finish it within a few hours. Unfortunately, it was just okay for me. I am glad that I gave it a try though!
