If asked who one of my favorite book crushes are, Carmen Jenner’s men would be most definitely on my list. I loved, no still love Elijah Cade from Welcome to Sugartown and when Jackson got introduced at the end of it I was swooning over him too; she made me curious; his body made me curious, and of course his filthy mouth. Jackson is smokin’ –no doubt.

He and Holly had their fair share of naughtiness even before the Cooper ‘accident’ and I was looking forward to read their story. Holly made me lol in book 1; she was one funny chick and cracked me up.

Unfortunately in Enjoy Your Stay I become rather fed up with her and the way she’s. I’m no prude –hell no- but the f-bombs were a bit much and I got tired of it. It was like a repetition of her words, actions, and thoughts. Some of her actions were a bit over the top and I was wondering wth is going on in her mind – I just couldn’t connect. She was funny , don’t get me wrong but after half of the book I was just like “ooook, I got it now Holly…”.

I admired her for staying strong despite being pregnant, alone and at a young age.

Jackson, oooh Jackson. You my friend I could shake. With 27 I expected more; more rational thinking; more behaving like an adult. He pulled some serious shit and I wasn’t too pleased over it. With him it was the same: a repetition of his words, actions, and thoughts.

I could understand him to a certain degree but then I gave up. The whole ex fiancé didn’t fit and I wondered what the purpose was in including her in the book. Yeah Holly was on fire and he got a reaction out of her but other than that, I don’t know.

I have to say I felt very sad for Cooper…damn he tried. Yes he messed up big times before and left but the way she dumped him was painful. I knew it would come like that but still, it felt not fair.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was a good read but book 1 knocked my socks off while Enjoy Your Stay was the unloved step-child to me. I caught myself laughing more about what Elijah and Ana did/said than what Jackson and Holly did/said. I adore Carmen’s Aussie slang and way of writing and in no way was is bad it just wasn’t for me. It had LOTS of steam but also a lot of f-bombs which I got tired of reading. Will I read more from her? Hell yeah I’ll. Like I said I adore her and she’s become one of my favorite authors and just because book 2 wasn’t fully to my liking I won’t turn my back on her.
