Quickies is a collection of miscellaneous words that really don't fit elsewhere and certainly can't stand alone. A mixture of poetry, short stories, and bite-sized nuggets, Quickies is full of small stuff that won't consume an entire day of your life but that you'll enjoy just the same. Stories like "Drawn to Him" and "Dancing on Air" are hot and sexy...and fun. And there's also a bonus for fans of Jade's book Bullet--all the stories she wrote for fun for blogs (as well as one deleted scene) are also collected in Quickies. So enjoy Quickies...because sometimes you want it slow and steamy, but other times you want it super-hot, nasty...and quick!
Jade C. Jamison writes steamy contemporary romance that’s full of heat, heartbreak, and hard rock. Known for emotionally raw rockstar romances, sizzling billionaire stories, and unforgettable second chances, Jade delivers passionate stories with fierce heroines and brooding heroes.

Quickies: Sexy Short Stories and Other Stuff - Jade C. Jamison
It’s no secret that I am a huge Jade C. Jamison fan, her novel ‘Bullet’ is still one of my TOP 2013 reads. No one nails the Rock star genre quite like she does, so when she mentioned to her readers that she was contemplating a short anthology release, I jumped on the Jade ‘band-wagon’ and begged her for an ARC, and guess what? I got one! :D
And as always, she never fails to disappoint!
Quickies can be read as a total standalone, until the end, as you read on, you will understand why.
I highly recommend the following:
‘Drawn to Him,’ a story about a nudist artist and a stand-in model, who is doing a favour for a friend. It’s fun and very colourful in more ways than one… ;)
‘Dancing on Air,’ if you enjoy teacher/student forbidden little romances, then this will be sure to get an ‘A.’
And the clincher, my favourite short story of all, and one I would LOVE to see as a novel in it’s full entirety was, ‘Be Careful What You Wish For.’ I loved the premise of this one, and the male lead is Hot with a capital ‘H.’ If you don’t normally like delving into ‘cheating’ stories, then throw caution to the wind and give this one a go. I promise you, you may feel a little different due to the angle in which this one takes.
But I can’t end this review without a mention of the ultimate treat towards the end. BULLET ‘DELETED SCENE’ EXTRAVAGANZA. Oh Yeah…, throw up the horns people and get ready for the encore as we re-connect with Valerie, Ethan, Brad and Clay/Jet in what I can only describe as a Bullet tribute to ‘the fans.’
And Finally… IT’S TRUE - ROCKSTARS HAVE RULES, DAMNIT!
Overall, this is a great insight into the world of Jade and her writing style. Even if you haven’t read Bullet beforehand, you can still enjoy the first 75% without it affecting the readers’ experience. However, I do recommend reading Bullet if you want to feel any appreciation for the last 25%.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
So I am a huge Jade fan. Her book Bullet is STILL a hangover of mine...sniff when i hear Bruno Mars plus this book has Bullet deleted scenes/POV changes from the book.....Ok lemme get focused and get to chatting with you about this new book of novellas. So this novella is kinda all over the place and that is kinda why I like it??? Does that make any sense? I mean there are a couple short stories and then random little bits of silliness here.
The short story I loved the best was the Lit teacher and her stipper student. OMG I loved it. It was HAWT for sure. The premise is a teacher needs a stripper for her friends batchlorette party. she sees a hot student of hers and asks him to do it. he says yes but at the end of the semester he will contact her for dets. Well they end up having some amazeballs chemistry. He shows up and rocks her and her friends worlds. After he gets the ladies alll sexed up, they leave. He and his teacher stay and have a little "anatomy" lesson........
Another short story i loved was the cheater rocker husband...premise a bunch of bitches approach a bartender and offer her cash to get one of the ladies hubbies to cheat...welllllll, uhm.......he kinda does BUT it was hawt as well. I am not a big one for reading cheating stories but this one was so sweet and my heart broke for rocker man. i loved the twist ending and was like "BOOM BEEOTCH WIFE".
My favorite bits of silliness in between the stories was the office potluck. I can't even really discuss it because it will take the funny out of it or you will say "uhm Angie how is that funny?" But it made me giggle a lot because anyone who works with people knows how difficult it is to plan anything with out people getting made or picky about stuff.
This chick is AWESOME! I enjoy her characters, wit & love of all things bad ass. This book could be the start of something... These stories could EASILY expand into full length novels or novellas. Good stuff Lady Jade!
Great book for when you need a little something on the side, but don't have time to get caught up in a full length novel! As always, the Author has a great writing style & it's easy to visualize each story! I give it two thumbs up :)
A step away from the ordinary and a chance to experience Jade C. Jamison's outstanding writing style. An awesome reading get-away. A much recommended read. 5 stars!
Quickies Jade C. Jamison is such a crazy/fun mix of “quick” stories, poetry and posts….a little random something for everyone. I found myself picking up Quickies to read on a few different occasions… for a little quick and dirty steam escape ; ) laugh or dose of “Jadeisms”. I love her writing style and happen to be a fan of Bullet (there is a deleted scene included). I can’t wait for Bullet book 2.
This book is a mish mash of awesomeness! There's something that will appeal to just about anyone... from steamy scenes and heart string tugging poems to completely hysterical dialogue that will have you cracking up!
Truly amazing collection of stories. There is a little something for everyone in this book. My personal favorites were " Be Careful What You Wish For" "Hungry for More" and "My name is Kate and I am a Smoker". But each and every one of these stories gave me something to connect too, something to say "that was kinda like that time I..." Amazing book by an Amazing Author... a must read!!! If you are a fan of Bullet by Ms. Jamison you will also really love all the extras from the Bullet Blog Tour.
Jade never disappoints I don't think she could if she tried!! Which I hope she never does try that I might cry like a 2 year old! This book if full of quick stories and some are very steamy and you cant help but smile!
