Re-Release…The Bourbon Series by Meghan Quinn

On the streets of New Orleans, sins are committed every night.

My name is Jett Colby and I save tarnished souls.

In the downtown, under the glittery lights of Bourbon Street, I found her in cheap lingerie, flaunting her body for callous men and money.

From the lace of her cheap lingerie, to her garter belt, I knew she had to be saved.
She had to be mine.

Broke and destitute with no way of out, she had no choice but to come to me and into my club.

She had no other choice but to become a Jett Girl.

But see, that’s the thing about this city; you might think that under the dazzling lights and illusion of salvation, she’s the one that needed saving.

When the glitter fades and the dirt is washed away, the one worth saving just might be me.

I picked this up after I read The Virgin Romance Novelist and wanted to see what else Ms. Meghan could write about. Let me tell you something – this woman knows how to suck you into a story – hook, line and sinker!!

I really don’t like going into much detail about the book because I feel like that takes away from your reading excitement but here’s some background info.

Goldie is picked up by Jett to try and become one of his elite Jett Girls. Since Hurricane Katrina, Goldie hasn’t had the easiest life and is barely scrapping by. So when this opportunity is dropped at her feet, she realizes she’d be an idiot to pass it up.

Goldie never really interacts with Jett til later in the book yet there’s a strong pull to him. Goldie is very opinionated and strong woman. She says whats on her mind and has the mouth that would make a sailor blush. I love this girl!! She’s a spit-fire!

Jett is very aloof and doesn’t get close to anyone. His purpose for his club is very altruistic and commendable. But he also has his own rules that everyone must obey and live by.

Meghan’s writing style is very distinct in that she has a way to not only write a strong story line, but pull off adding witty commentary that does not come off as tacky or annoying. The characters are all unique and each add to the story. Meghan does a wonderful job of blending the characters into the story and making everything flow perfectly.

Bring on the next book!

First off – let me just say two words that I must get out – Kace and shower. HOT DAMN!!

Ok. Back to the book. Goldie/Lo is finally a true Jett Girl but her place with Jett is still confusing as ever. That damn man lures her in so quickly and then flings her back out to sea. A woman can only take so much. Jett seems to think that he can have his cake and eat it too. But he’s in for a rude awakening!

Then there’s Kace – the walking orgasm! His relationship with Goldie is very stormy. She wants to be his friend and he just wants her to go away. Little does he know that she doesn’t give up so easily. Goldie is a feisty one!

And Diego – I must know more about him. Meghan you have done your finest at piquing my interest in this character.

But don’t think this book is all about the hot sex and even hotter men. Oh no – Meghan has intricately weaved a very intriguing story line that puts many characters in the line of fire if they aren’t careful where they tread.

Megahn does a superb job of keeping the amazingly hilarious and witty content so real and doesn’t come across as cheesy or over the top. Meghan’s writing style just pulls you right into the story and you find yourself immesered in the world of New Orleans.

I can’t wait to see what she gives us in Forever A Jett Girl!

Forever a Jett Girl is the conclusion to this series and probably my favorite in this series.

I must say that normally come book 3 or 4 in a series, I am bored by what is happening and things are starting to become redundant. But that is not the case here. Meghan saved all the good shit for last!

Goldie/Lo has taken things into her own hands. She has no plans but knows what she wants the end results to be. She is playing in a world where anything goes and with the right amount of money, anything can be achieved.

Jett is clueless and has no control – something he has never dealt with before. Jett needs control and having that one thing taken from him, well let’s just say the man isn’t himself.

“She shifted the atmosphere of the entire club. The girls always held the cards, but she turned into the fucking dealer.”

Jett and Goldie are both working towards the same thing but neither has any idea what the other is doing. Everything comes to a blow and things start to get even more hairy for Jett and Goldie. Nothing can ever go right for these two.

Meghan does a fantastic job of writing this from various POV’s but never gets anything tangled or loses the focus. It flows really well and keeps the excitement alive. I enjoy reading what is going on in other character’s minds as things are happening around them and how it affects them.

Meghan’s quirkiness is a highlight for me as I am reading this book. I love the witty humor and the crap that just flows out of Goldie’s mouth. The banter between all the characters really gives the book life – makes it feel more real. I find myself laughing ALOT but it never deterred from the seriousness of what was going on.

This is one series that I will always find myself going back to. Bravo Meghan!!

4.5 stars!!

I have really come to love Meghan Quinn and her writing. She gets the right amount of suspense and laughter to make the book so enjoyable.

Repentance is a book about second chances. It’s about living in the present and not allowing your past to dictate who you are or what happens in the future.

We met Kace Hayood in Meghan’s Bourbon series. He’s the man behind the scenes in Jett’s business. Kace wants to help others get that second chance in life and better themselves. And after working with Jett on his previous business, he is going to run the new community center, Justice.

However, Kace has his own past and demons. He believes that he doesn’t deserve that second chance in life but helping others is his way of coping. He’s only had one person stand by him his whole life – Jett. Until Lyla.

Lyla is a feisty and confident woman. She knows that there is something between her and Kace. And she refuses to walk away from him without a fight.

The interactions between Kace and Lyla are fierce and explosive – both in and out of the bedroom. And like with all Meghan Quinn books, you have that hilarious and quirky comedic dialogue that has you dying of laughter.

This book seemed a bit more intense than others books I have read by Meghan and I really, really enjoyed that I could see another side to her writing. And when you are able to make me go from laughing to crying (in public!), just by words, I truly believe that shows the strength in an author’s writing.

Another hit for Meghan Quinn!!!!

Side note – I am hoping we may get some books on Blane and Diego – HINT HINT!!! LOL
