My 5.0 star review from Guilty Pleasures book reviews:

A recent discussion on Facebook led me to recommend this book to readers looking for humorous romance stories and after I did that I decided to re-read it for something like the 5th time, yes this is one of my go to books.  One I read when I need to feel better, one I fall back on when I need a good laugh, and one that is an all time favorite.  While Jixned is funny there is also a serious side to it and it's a complete story.  The characters are fully developed and we get to see the good and the bad in both of them. The story is one of sorrow, hope, acceptance, craziness, and love.  And the dialog is some of the best I've read.  Jinxed is one of those books I dare you not to fall in love with.

When Frannie and Jinx meet the sparks fly immediately but it's hard to tell if they are sparks of lust or sparks of absolute frustration.  I'll admit that the first time I read this I wondered if Jinx wasn't a few fries short of a Happy Meal.  I mean he puts on the full court press from the beginning and while he comes across and overbearing, you can also see that he truly means everything he says.  There's something in the way he speaks that makes you understand this man has his reasons for behaving the way he does and it makes you sit up, take notice, and keep reading to find out what it is.  Frannie, oh man Frannie is a piece of work.  Her ex-husband did a real number on her and while she's made a good life for herself her scars run really deep and she's very cynical about men, relationships, love and marriage.  Don't get me wrong she has some really valid reasons and while I understand them there were a couple of times I wanted to bop her upside her head.  Thankfully I didn't have to because her friends and co-workers Steve and Tracey do it for me a few times over.

In this short space I can't even begin to list the things I love about this book.  I love that these characters are a little older and have real life experiences that have shaped and changed them.  I love that there story is messy...honestly, it's a lot messy but watching them navigate through it is amazingly real and beautiful.  I love that the heroine is so flawed and has so many doubts.  I love that the hero is understanding and has a beautiful spirit.  I love that although the majority of this book takes place in 6 weeks time, it is packed full and you never feel cheated.  I love the sensuality of their intimate moments and I flat out appreciate the humor that is laced throughout this book.

I want to say more but I don't want to give too much away.  I want you to run to Amazon or your favorite book seller and buy this book and when you've read it I want you to send me a message on Facebook, Twitter, or email me and tell me what you thought because I really want to know.  And I dare you flat out dare you not to laugh until you've sprayed your e-reader with a drink or laughed so hard you cried.  The Christmas tree discussion and the monthly cycle scenes I guarantee will take care of that and if those don't do it the other hundred or so will.  Jinxed is one of those feel good sexy romances that is not to be missed, yes it's an older book but it's worth looking at, worth reading, and worth spreading the word about!

This story was beautifully written, it drew me in and didn't let me go. I wish I could reread it again for the first time, sadly I cannot. However, I will definitely reread it anyway and recommend it to any book lover. This book has become one of my all time favorites. It has amazing characters, plot and a well developed setting. Enjoy it!

I read this book over 30  years ago, and it became a favorite of mine.  I have recommended it to so many people, over the years! So, it was time, now that I am in my sixties, to re-read it.  I have fallen in love with the story all over again!

I am trying to compile a list of my all-time favorite books and this one comes in close to the top.  I love the story and its gentle people and love the way it is written.  First read when I was about ten years old - - last read now in my sixties.  I can never read the book in public because I cry every single time.  Beautiful, beautiful story.

One of the best books of all time!  Sad, gripping, real, inspiring!  I've read it a dozen times and I'll read it a dozen more, I'm sure.  I real page turner!  A must read and then tell everyone you know.  It's a real story about a real family about real times.

One of my all time favorite books!  I've had this book for a few years and would make a great gift for a mom with young children because we all know kids say some pretty funny things!  I've enjoyed looking back on precious moments.  It's east to write in and the cover and pages have held up nicely.  The quality of the pages is A+

This is a book I read when I was 18 years old and LOVED! I finally had the itch to purchase it and be able to read it, whenever I wanted. I am now 20 years old and absolutely love reading this book on my spare time. This is a book I will read over and over again, probably for the rest of my life. Then when I have children someday, I'll read it to them. A great story that should be read by everyone.

One of my favorite books of all time.  I love how savvy and competent the main character was-in a time women were thought to be fragile .
Put this on your list- don't miss!

This is one of my all time favorite books. I've re-read it a dozen times. I love the male characters perspective. I love how they seduce the female lead, despite her self perception.

This is one of the best written books I have ever read. I could not put it down. I have reread this book several times and I just can't get enough of it. It is such a moving story I just love it. I highly recommend it as a must read!

This is one of my all time favorite books! It may be because I lived in Henderson, Nevada for five years of my life or it may be because I love the crazy things that Annika does for her little brother! I'm pretty sure this is the first book I ever read by Janette Rallison and I just fell in love with it! I own it in hardback and Kindle (with the new extra scene!), and I recommend it to lots of people!
