What You Know About Love?
Ellie Baldwin wants nothing more than to kick it with her girls on a week-long vacation to Las Vegas for her older sister’s bachelorette’s party. After coming off a fresh breakup with her longtime boyfriend, she wants to kick it with her girls and forget about the past few months of her life and residency. Being born into the Baldwin family, a family of doctors, the pressure was on the moment Ellie was born. On her last year of medical school, Ellie is trying to deal with her longtime relationship ending, starting her residency and trying to please her parents. A week away from responsibilities is all she wants. Except, with her mother tagging along, she doesn’t know how much of a break she’d get.
Maurice Gibson is freshly divorced, and trying to put the pieces of his life together. After catching his cousin with his ex-wife, his trust with women is slim to none. When his best friend is invited to DJ at a weekend pool party in Vegas, he brings Maurice along to get him out of his rut. Being a publicist, Maurice is used to solving everyone else’s issues, but what happens when there isn’t someone to solve his own?

What You Know About Love? was a fun, heartfelt read with just the right amount of drama and sweetness. Ellie and Maurice’s story had me hooked from the jump. Ellie, juggling the weight of her family’s expectations with her own desires, felt so real, and Maurice, fresh off betrayal, brought the kind of guarded energy that made their connection even more interesting. I enjoyed how Jahquel J. showed that even when love feels risky, it can still show up when you least expect it. Their chemistry was undeniable.

Strong like
I liked this story. Strong like, but some things bothered me. The cover art took away from the story with the unmatched description. The bickering sisters, and then suddenly they were best friends, was odd. Hateful mothers are overly used in books lately, and I want a loving mother to read about at least one story a week. Please. See what you think.

This book had much potential but I feel secondary storylines took away from the main couple in this book. First off the storyline with the biracial daughter and the mother with her anti-black statements was mad cringe because what was even the reason if the mother wasn’t going to be confronted or if the FMC wasn’t going to try and cultivate a relationship with her “Black” side? Why even bring it up? I feel it was taking away from the main couple’s romance. I feel the same was done with her ex. Like nothing came of it, leave it alone. The sisters wedding and the teen YouTube star wasn’t more wanted dialogue that could’ve focused on the main couple. I needed more from them because it was hard for me to believe in their connection. Overall, I really couldn’t get with this story. It felt clustered and it focused on everything other than the main characters

I want more of them ❤️
I was 40% in when I realized this was a short story , I was so sad because what Jah gone do is draw you into her characters … this was a short and sweet story that leaves you wanting more and wanting to get more into the characters life. I need to know the story of Mr. Baldwin and why he disowned his family .. why her mother is so critical of them .. more of the main characters precious relationships and how Maurice family took it when they found out about the divorce.. so many questions , not enough pages lol

What Happens In Vegas!!
Ellie couldn't win for ish up against her mama, she criticized everything she did from the dress to her. I'm surprised she didn't talk Jamal into marrying Ellie. That's why Jaz and Brent are only going to be married for a few years. Jaz better put their mom in her place. Ellie and Jaz needed to reconnect. Mag Kyle is a mess. Maurice was going to be where ever Ellie is. He gave Ellie good advice for dealing with her mama. Maurice is Mr. Fix it.

Good Read
A good read with a great storyline. The drama, pain, and betrayal both of these interesting, likeable, well developed characters were feeling when they met brought them together. Since they both were in pain they healed each other. The title of this book definitely describes the story within. The question was answered in this story.

Bothersome Mother
I loved this book, with the exception of the mother. She got on my last never. I was glad to see the growth of the main and supporting ladies. Sisterhood is a strong bond. Even when I'm upset with my sister I still love and hold her down. Life doesn't have to take years. It could take seconds with the right person.

When Life Blooms
Palate cleanser activated.
If you’re looking for a quick and sweet read,, that’s low on drama and heavy on sweet feelings this is the one for you. It painted a pretty solid picture of two individuals colliding on a mutual desire without having knowledge that they were what each other needed.

great short read
It felt good reading a book with the FMC having a plan and not allowing anyone or anything to get in her way. Jahquel never misses in anything she writes. I would like to read more about the development of Ellie and Maurice’s relationship and find out more about Melody Star.

Story could have been a little longer? What’s up with Dad side of the family? Why does their mom meddle so much? Did Ellie ever have that conversation? Book was too fast but a great base for a blossoming storyline.

JJ’s short stories. I like that she gives me enough story to be satisfied but not too little to be left unsatisfied.

Ellie and Maurice thought life was fine until heartbreak proved otherwise. A run in at a coffee shop turns pain into possibility, showing how endings can spark unexpected beginnings.
