Great book. 

Both books that I have read have been great. Can't wait to start the third one and finish the whole series.

Jet is a story that brings together some great dynamics of a opposites attract romance. There is something so wonderful in reading from this author. I absolutely loved how this story was brought together. And while its not a perfect story especially in how the third act plays out, I really enjoyed how Crownover brought this book together. There are many dramatics in this romance that are implemented but there is such a strong connection between Jet and Ayden. There is some hidden conflicts with how their pasts come to them and how each of them face up to them and learning to stand for each other.

It was totally against everything I was supposed to be doing in my new life--to ask a really cute boy in a band to take me home.

Jet is a story that brings together a opposites attract story. This is a book where our hero is a rock star of sorts with unique tastes in metal. Our heroine, is a small town southern girl and these two couldn't have more differences in music that you could find. But there is a powerful chemistry between them. We see them build a solid friendship, and even though there is great chemistry between them, Ayden is in a relationship with a solid good man but who is dull for her and doesn't really do anything for her. But due to her past, Ayden is more about someone boring and dull, than for the excitement and thrill. Jet is determined to show her he is who she needs, and that no matter the mistakes in her past, to face them together and not alone. But Ayden has worked hard to be so independent, that it takes a patient Jet to help Ayden realize her own strength and the power in fighting for the one you love..

Jet was such a wonderful story, I absolutely had a blast with this one. And even though it wasn't perfect, this author is becoming my catnip even when there are elements in a story that aren't my favorite to read. Jay Crownover really adds more edge to the typical contemporary that I truly enjoy reading. The first aspect that I was first drawn to was the differences that set these apart but despite those differences these two are able to find their common ground. They might seem too difference on the surface, but it becomes clear very quickly how well they connect and what an intense connection that they have for each other.

I really adored the hero. He is a bit of a playboy in beginning, but he is a man that doesn't apologize and isn't ashamed about himself. The hero always is in a emotional battle with his parents as his father is abusive and his mother just accepts it. Then we have our heroine who has put herself in a image that showcases her being this bubbly nice girl, but in truth, she has made many mistakes in her youth. There are many dimensioins to the depths of these characters that I really enjoyed and Crownover really keeps you engaged with their growth. The romance between them is delectable. I was so easily drawn to their relationship, especially once they decide to go all in for each other. The hero is such a fighter for the relationship in the third act that just had me all over the place with him.

Probably not to anyone's shock, but I really didn't like the heroine especially in how she acts in the third act. I know this is how authors just love to add conflict into the story, but you can bet I won't give it a five star when its like this. The heroine burns the hero and guess who grovels??? Well its not the heroine. The hero does a grovel and he doesn't really have anything to apologize for. The heroine is a bit of a basket case mentally. I am not sure why she thinks Jet wouldn't understand, its not like he had a perfect home life or anything. So I do wish that we had seen more action on her part to fight for the relationship in the end.

Jet is a engaging, heartfelt, a bit of drama but plenty of spice and loveable characters to keep you all in for this pair and their journey to together....

He sings to me at night and it makes my heart hurt. The way he looks at me, I feel like he’s trying to pull me apart and put me back together in an even better way.”

“Sometimes, things need to change, because there just isn’t any way for them to stay the same.”

“We can’t pick our families or where we come from, Jet. All we can choose is who we want to become in spite of them, and because of them.”

Steam/Spice Explanations

Steamin' up the room -the sexual content is more explicit in the language and tone, heavier amount of sexual scenes.

La verdad es que me esperaba muchísimo más de este libro. Desde Rule que vengo queriendo saber bien qué pasó entre Jet y Ayden aquella noche, y por qué Ayden quedó tan mal después. Lo que sí me gustó fue el personaje de Jet. ME ENCANTÓ!!!! su complejidad, su historia, su pasado, su relación con su madre, TODO me encantó, pero Ayden dejó mucho que desear. POR FAVOR que ganas de pegarle una piña en más de una ocasión!! Su pasado súper trágico no me lo esperaba, pero sentí como que todo estaba contado de una manera muy superficial. No sé, fue rarísimo lo que sentí mientras leía el libro, ni siquiera me conformé con las escenas hot de Jet y Ayden. La verdad es que este libro me decepcionó un poco, pero igual lo disfruté así que ahora a empezar el tercero sobre Rome y Cora ♥
