Feverish by Jade C. Jamison ~ Review by Sarah

18194161
SYNOPSIS

 Clayton “Jet” Smith has enjoyed acting the part of rock star god bad boy since his breakup with rock goddess Valerie Quinn. He’s racking up quite a score playing the field, and he has no plans to settle down anytime soon. His biggest problem these days is meeting his obligations, because he’s so busy having fun, he forgets the important things.

 To help him out, he hires recent graduate Emily Brinkman to be his personal assistant, and he quickly finds a fire burning in his belly for her. There are two problems, however. The first is that Emily is engaged to be married, a fact that leaves Jet unfazed. The second problem isn’t so easy to surmount, though. Emily is disgusted and unimpressed by both sides of the man.

 Will Clay find a way to persuade Emily to try him out, not just for one night, but for all time?

 Feverish moves the Bullet story forward. You don’t want to miss this one!

SARAH'S 4-STAR REVIEW
Where to start with Jet/Clay? We first met Jet/Clay in Bullet when he and Val were dating. I was always interested in finding out more about his story and now we've got it!

After Clay's electricity gets shut off because he simply forgot to pay the bill, his bandmate, Brian, suggests he get a personal assistant to help keep track of those little details that just seem to slip through his fingers. After a few interviews, with people he doesn't feel are right for the job, in walks Emily Brinkman.
'This woman-she was his water, his life. She was everything.'
She is attractive and there is something about her that makes both Jet and Clay happy. After she takes the job the connection between Emily and Clay gets stronger and stronger. Jet is more than happy to take is to the next level but Clay respects the fact that she is engaged. Time begins to wear on all of them and one fateful conversation changes everything.

 I loved getting to know Clay better. I thought that he was a good guy in Bullet and that was further enforced in Feverish. I was happy to learn about his past, his ex-wife, and how Jet came to be. This book made me fall a little more in love with him than I already had been. He was hot and sweet and so incredibly sexy. I really wouldn't mind having a little Jet or Clay!
"Emily Brinkman, I love you.  Okay?  I love you, and if you don't love me back, my life will go on, but I can't go any longer without telling you.  Not telling you would be a mistake.  If telling you winds up being a mistake, at least it's one I can live with."
Emily sometimes was quite frustrating to me. I hated that she just wanted to do whatever she was 'supposed' to do, with no consideration of what she actually wanted. I was happy to see her grow and become her own person throughout the course of the book.

 There were times that I just wanted to slap both characters and tell them to open their eyes to see what was right in front of them. But there were others where I knew that if things happened any different than they did that nothing would have worked out well. In the end I was very happy with the exact course that Clay and Emily's story took. It was hot and sexy and frustrating and so sweet. Everything that a relationship is.
"You were supposed be to the guy who fizzled out, you know? The passion was supposed to fade, or you were supposed to turn into a dick or something, but..." Clay saw tears well up in her eyes again. "But you're still here, and I still care."
Feverish is book 3 in the Bullet series, by Jade C. Jamison. If you haven't, and have no intention to, read the first two books, Bullet & Rock Bottom, then it can be read as a stand alone. There is not much that you need to know from those books, that isn't revisited in Feverish. However, if you do want to read the entire series, definitely start at the beginning.

 If you like rockstar books then this is a definite must for you. In fact I strongly suggest that you read the entire series. They are all excellent books and make you see the person behind the persona. I love this series and can not wait for the next book, Fully Automatic, which is Brad's story. It is currently scheduled to be out next May.
'I don't love easily, but I love hard.  And it's a forever kind of love.'

EXCERPT
When Mary’s questions were done, Clay smiled at Emily for a moment. The woman kept her cool, and Clay became convinced that she would win against him in a stare down contest. He filled his lungs with air, realizing he really liked her intensity. He found his first question. “First rock album you ever bought.”

No hesitation. “Godsmack, Faceless.”

Oh, that was good. “First concert.”

She smiled. She was up for the challenge. “Bullet for My Valentine.”

“A band you always buy a new release from, whether you’ve heard it or not.”

“Used to be Three Days Grace. Now…I don’t know. Um, maybe Art of Dying.”

He smiled back and nodded his head. He could feel an energy between them. “Favorite band.”

She tilted her head and broke eye contact, glancing up at the ceiling. That question was making her think. He wouldn’t be upset if she didn’t say his band. In fact, he’d be more upset if she did say Last Five Seconds, because it would seem fake, as though she’d just said it just for the interview. He wanted real. “Seether.”

Fuck yeah. Inside, Clay was fist pumping. This woman was on fire, and he was ready to offer her the job. He knew Mary would punch him in the arm if he did. As it was, she was tolerating his barrage of questions. “Good answer.” Now for the most telling response of all, one he needed to know. “Favorite guitarist.”

She smiled again. One more time, without pause. She knew exactly what she wanted to say. “Jimi Hendrix.”

“Excellent choice.” He took a deep breath, almost surprised he wasn’t getting hard. “I’d like to think I’m in your top fifty.”

Her smile turned into a grin that almost looked shy. That was odd and somehow a turn on from this confident woman. “Oh, you definitely are.”

Both Clay and Jet were really digging her.

AUTHOR BIO

 Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade's day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn't stop her from doing a little writing herself.

 Unfortunately, there's no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women's fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you'll see that her writing doesn't quite fit any of those genres.

 You'll have to discover Jade's writing for yourself to decide if you like it.
