Bourbon #1

Becoming a Jett Girl

Rate this book
How did I start the Lafayette Club?

Well, I’m in the business of saving tarnished souls. I hand pick girls from the street who have no options left in life and give them an opportunity they can’t possibly refuse.

They come to work in the Lafayette Club which is full of EXQUISITE DEBAUCHERY, where influential men come to conduct business and lap dances are considered a fine art.

The girls are trained, they are morphed, they are educated, they follow the rules of the club and they know to submit to me. They live by my motto, no relationships, no love, just sex.

They are never touched, only by me, they are never completely naked, only with me, and their personas are entirely anonymous. The only person who knows who they truly are, is me, Jett Colby.

If these girls were ever seen on the streets of New Orleans, you would never know they were a Jett Girl.

When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn't take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. It wasn't until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven't turned back since.

You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.

​I currently reside in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.

Well, shit sticks.
I loved Meghan Quinn's The Virgin Romance Novelist so I was request crazy when I saw this book come up on Netgalley.



Now I'm gonna admit, the sexy times in this book were hot as heck. Ms. Quinn nails that with a sense of fun that I do find refreshing.


Goldie works in a bar as a waitress, think Hooters on steroids. She barely makes ends meet so she has sex with a dude for money to help with the bills.
She catches the attention of the guy named Jett, he owns an exclusive club in New Orleans and once she signs that little contract all her debts will disappear.


She doesn't have to have sex with the clients just with Jett himself. The clients can look but not touch, they can of course avail themselves to the little room provided to relieve themselves.


Can you guess that I wasn't a fangirl over this one?
I think I might need a shower just to get this dirty feeling off me after this book.
I get that women can do whatever they want with their own bodies. I'm progressive like that. However, don't feed it to me in a story that provides she only gets to do that by submitting to a guy. Plus said guy has a stable of women who already provide that for him.
Just yuck. Pure yuck.
The reviews for the book are high. So obviously it might just be me.

What is a Jett Girl? Well, to sum it up briefly a Jett Girl is a hand-picked, high end, exotic dancer . . .

Houston commercial photography

No, not like that Pam. That’s the kind of place the girls had to work at before being “saved” by Jett Colby. Only a chosen few ever get selected, but those who do find their lives doing a complete 180. The girls who work for Jett at the Lafayette Club live in a mansion rent free, never have to worry about creeps getting too handsy while they are giving a lap dance, and have all of their debts taken care of. The only catch? They agree to submit sexually to one man – Jett Colby himself.

So there’s the story in a nutshell. Here’s the part where everything gets a little rambly so buckle up if you plan on riding this one out.

If you like stories like this . . .

Houston commercial photography

There’s a good chance you might like Bourbon #1. This book most definitely had a Pretty Woman feel to it with the detached gajillionaire who never lets feelings to get into the mix of either business or pleasure bringing a stripper/prostitute into his life . . . and just maybe his heart.

I read this book for the simple fact that Shelby made me even though I’m not real comfie with the sexytimes books, I kind of loved The Virgin Romance Novelist and was hoping for more of the same. Okay, so this was waaaaay not the same, but I didn’t totally hate it either.

Let’s start with the good:

The cover. Purrrrty.

The aforementioned plot. I’m a sucker for a sappy romance – even ones that have massive amounts of boning in them.

The MC had the right idea about self-worth and continually expressed it . . .

“I hated that men thought, just because I worked in a strip club, my body was theirs to play with. My body was mine and no one else’s.”

She was also sometimes hilarious . . .

“When I woke up this morning, I had a wonderful time getting to know my toilet bowl up close and personal. I named him Fred as I puked my guts out . . . I could not do this every time. I liked Fred, but I wasn’t about to make out with him every time Francy wanted to go over drink orders.”

The use of a safe-word between partners who would perhaps be engaging in some rougher sexytimes was refreshing. Alligator, y'all . . .

Houston commercial photography

Speaking of sexytimes, turns out little ol’ vanilla me didn’t mind a little kink . . .

Houston commercial photography

Also? Lap dances. MUY CALIENTE!

Houston commercial photography

Now it’s time for the stuff I didn’t enjoy.

The MC’s name was Goldie. I thought that was her stripper/hooker name, but nope – it was the name her parents gave her. The plus side to this is I was already familiar with a lady of the evening named Goldie and picturing her as the lead was A-Okay . . .

Houston commercial photography

EVERYTHING turned the bitch on. From voices to the way her comforter felt against her skin, this gal was ret-to-go at all times and nearly every guy she came across had the potential of being Mr. Right Now . . .

Houston commercial photography

Squicky sex talk. Don’t get me wrong, when the deed was actually being done it was pretty hot stuff. The inner voice of Goldie, though????? No. Just no.

“My vagina was applauding me for my decision.”

Vaginas don’t clap. Every time that phrase is used I picture things like this . . .

Houston commercial photography

“My lady folds wept at the sight of him.”

Houston commercial photography

Really? The combo of the New Orleans summer heat and the moisture situation Goldie had going on in her underdrawers she probably had a real mosquito problem going on down there.

Also? Grown women should not nickname their ladybits. Brittney???? Seriously????

Houston commercial photography

On second thought, maybe I should start calling mine Brittney and then when my husband tries to make with the rolling in the hay I can yell “LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE!!!!!

So to sum it up, the problems I had with this book were more than likely my problems and the erotica connoisseur will be more forgiving. I will say that I really enjoy Meghan Quinn’s writing and I would probably read book #2 if I saw an ARC offered up on NetGalley.

If you've read the original Bourbon series by Meghan Quinn, then this book will seem familiar. And for those of you who haven't... Well, you're definitely in for a treat!

This book is crazy! Goldie's internal monologues caused me to shudder in equal amounts of disgust and excitement. The labels she gave lady parts (ex. meat curtains?) were pretty gross. But her absurdity is what made her hilarious. I'm just not sure if I was laughing with her or at her.

Goldie suffered a lot. She lost her parents, her life, to Hurricane Katrina. Since then, she has basically sold everything but her soul to survive. Jett coming into her life couldn't have happened at a better time. Ya, she's still working in a sex club, but it's 'classy' (think more burlesque). At least she had a better shot at life.

Jett was a hot mess, emphasis on hot. He suffered a troubled but affluent childhood, and heart break. This has caused him to rule out relationships and love. He does have a heart and uses it to save women from a life on the streets. He provides an income, an education, and protection. All at arms length. He gives these women his body as well but never his heart. Until Goldie. She was a game changer and it was interesting to read how much he fought against her.

There are a heap of interesting side characters that I couldn't help but like and be curious about and I wonder if the future holds a book for any of them. Kace sounded crazy hot. A huge part of me wanted Goldie to choose him. I hope he gets his own HEA. Rex seemed shady, even before details were given. I never trusted him. I hope he and Jett's dad Leo get their comeuppance.

But this was simply not the book for me. I won't go into many details, but I just wasn't feeling the story or the characters. Considering that the hero and the heroine didn't even really have any interaction until almost half way, and I felt more of a connection between her and a side character...well it was time to cut my losses.

This was my first book by Meghan Quinn, and I'll gladly read future books by her. But this one didn't work for me. But don't let my DNF deter you. There's plenty of amazing reviews, so it may just work for you. I'm just a picky bitch. Le sigh.

Ever had that book that made you utter over and over the words "OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD!"? Damn! That's Bourbon Sins by Meghan Quinn for me. I am so used by this author's romantic comedy books and that one time she made me cry so damn hard because of her Dear Life. But now, with this series? What can I say? Again... OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD!!!

Start to finish the book surprised me to no end. I was loving everything about it because it was so damn good I could not put the book down. Meghan Quin slayed this first book of the series that at this point in time, I can't wait to read the next one. Jett and Goldie's character portrayal connected with me that I felt like they were a part of me. Their journey was my journey too and I felt like I was so obsessed with them. They were like my drug because I was addicted to everything about them. Lord! I was squirming in my seat for only God knows how much. I can't even believe this book affected me to the deepest core. See? Jett and Goldie are a part of me. Now, I feel like I'm a Jett Girl too! *boob squeezes

Meghan Quinn did not hold back with Jett and Goldie. I love them because I can connect with them easily. Meghan's brilliance and her excellent writing skill is undoubtedly the culprit of my addiction to this series. It flowed flawlessly that it was so easy to get lost in their bubble. I love the well balanced portrayal of hilarity, sexiness, scorching scenes and feels of this book because it was so on point. I couldn't help but devour it and just inhale it. Really I had so much fun reading the book. It's light heartedness coupled with sizzling scenes, humor and heart made me a goner. With Meghan's perfect writing? Man, how I wish this book wouldn't end. I know there's more to these characters but to have a chance reading their journey to infinity will be a wish come true for me.

Now off I go, and please do me a favor reading this book and following their journey. It wa so worth it. Meghan Quinn slayed this again and again.

P.S. Just a gentle advise.. Don't wear panties, you'll just gonna make it drenched. ;)

In a city where sin is committed every night and washed away the next morning, you meet a domineering but sophisticated man, Jett Colby. He is the owner and proprietor of the Lafayette club where women who have nothing left in life are hand picked to be performers for the members of the very exclusive and swanky club.

The Jett Girls are never naked, they are never touched and no one knows who they are. Their personas are completely anonymous, they wear masks around the club and are always in uniform, making them the most demanded and elusive women in the city of New Orleans.

It is an honor to be a Jett Girl, an opportunity any woman off the street can't refuse which is why Goldie (the main character) finds herself following the rules and striving to be the not only the best in the exclusive club but the best in the Bourbon Room as well.

Becoming a Jett Girl takes you on a journey of what a horrific event like Hurricane Katrina can do to someone and how they rise from the ashes. It brings you into a world full of "presentations", choreography, masks, rules and the Bourbon Room where Jett takes his women to please. You will follow the life of Goldie as she earns a second chance to redeem herself, rid her debt, gain an education and become one of the most infamous girls in the city.

The sex will rock your world, the humor will have you laugh snorting and the story will have you begging to become a Jett Girl yourself.

The Romance World is a weird and at times wonderful place, the men and women transform in to heroes and heroines and we allow them to get away with so much more than their real life counterparts ever could. The hero has to kidnap the heroine and keep her in a log cabin in the mountains to keep her safe? Perfectly understandable and the log fire just adds ambiance. However, this book crossed the line of what I find acceptable and what just made me so angry that I couldn’t continue reading it without seriously damaging my kindle from a bout of wall throwing.

I would like to qualify this DNF review by saying that I gave it my best shot, I got 67% through before I just couldn’t take it anymore; nobody can tell me I didn’t try. But, I couldn’t continue, Becoming a Jett Girl just made me so angry! I found myself reading, then having to read again as I couldn’t believe what had just happened and that apparently it was still all hunky dory.

Lots of things annoyed me whilst I was reading this, but when it comes down to it, what made me genuinely angry about the book was the hero. He recruits desperate women, women who seem to be almost living on the street therefore having little to no choice but to say yes to his offer of becoming a Jett Girl aka join his little harem – and in the heroine’s case he actually hires someone to MUG her when she at first says no. He then goes and makes them completely beholden and grateful to him, he pays off their debts, pays for an education of their choice gives them food and luxurious shelter….all he wants in return? They have to wear what he says, eat what he says and exercise when he says and are only allowed to have sex with him and regularly get “called” to service him. And, he is of course twisting this all with the skewed view that he is doing it all for them.

It just made me so angry, he picks desperate women off the street…the stunning looking ones of course, normal women need not apply, and uses his position of advantage to get what he wants from them, all in the guise of “helping” them. If he wanted to help the homeless why didn’t he set up a women’s shelter; offer grants; rent affordable housing; give women jobs, which don’t entail sucking him off? No matter how gorgeous Jett is, or whatever he does in the future to try and redeem himself, I can’t help but feel complete disgust for him.

This book provoked a lot of emotion in me, the main feeling being complete rage, however, I don’t quite think that is what the author was going for. I can see from reviews that lot of people have loved Becoming a Jett Girl I just don’t understand why.

Becoming a Jett Girl is the first book I have ever read by Meghan Quinn although she is a well established author. The blurb is incredibly enticing and I signed up to read and review as soon as I saw it!

Basic synopsis – Goldie/Lo is working as in a low class, seedy strjointip club serving drinks and aspires to greater things. Namely stripping. She’s all alone in the world having been orphaned during Hurricane Katrina and saddled with her late parents’ debts. She’s struggling to make ends meet and Jett Colby has his eye on her.

Jett is, I guess, a bit of a philanthropist – he likes to help out girls in Goldie’s situation by offering them the chance to work at his very exclusive pole dancing and lap dancing venue – the Lafayette Club. The girls are assured of their anonymity, no one will be allowed to touch them and no extra-curricular activities with the patrons will be tolerated. The Lafayette Girls get to live in Jett Colby’s mansion and enjoy lucrative salary deals with only one condition – they must submit exclusively to Jett Colby in the bedroom whenever the whim takes him.

I’m not going to go any further into the synopsis than that to avoid spoiling the plot but it really did make me sit up and take notice. Sadly, the book didn’t quite come off for me, in the end, because I found Goldie to be just incredibly gauche and she really did lack pretty much any taste or sophistication which I think is the point but, after a while, she just started to grate on me. Also, Jett, who could have been a deliciously dark character actually came across a little sceevy for my tastes. The man is filthy rich, totally gorgeous and a dream dominant in the bedroom – he really doesn’t need to manipulate women into the sack with him and yet he does. And I also didn’t get the connection between Goldie and Jett – I really couldn’t see what he saw in her although I could definitely see what Goldie saw in Jett!! And we have a rather happy for now bittersweet ending which left me slightly unsatisfied.


I do applaud the author for attempting to do something very different and mostly she succeeds. The bedroom scenes between Goldie and Jett really are incredibly hot and Jett is a wonderful dominant. There’s also great secondary characters including the mysterious Kace, Jett’s best friend.

I’m sorry it didn’t work for me – I took a look at the early Goodreads reviews and they are overwhelmingly positive so I am probably in the minority here.

First, Can someone tell Kace that I will sign Jett's contract in a heartbeat? Ok, now that we have that clear, I would love to say that "Thank You Sanae" For telling me about this book.

The characters are amazing and, I will admit, I never fall in love with two characters in the same book. EVER. I couldn't do that here. Kace was HOT and Jett was HOTTER. I was having a hard time deciding which one i wanted. At the end I decided to keep them both. For me. Sorry girls.

Goldie. Wow, that girl made laugh so much. She's strong, but at the same time hilarious and when she is drunk, OMG! Drunk Goldie is priceless.

All the characters in this books are great. This is the kind of book I would recommend if you need to read a good Erotica with a pinch of laughter.

Is this a Love story? Yes and no. Don't roll your eyes and buy the book. It's a good and funny ride.

Can't wait for the next book. I already checked Meghan's page and . . . . It's Kace's Story! Woo Hoo!

Whoa whoa whoa! I am used to Meghan Quinn’s romantic comedy so this is quite a nice surprise – different, erotic, naughty, and definitely mouthwateringly sexy.

The Bourbon Sins is the first book of the Bourbon series of four books. Jett is a powerful man. He owns the most exclusive gentlemans club in New Orleans. Each of the women is handpicked by the owner himself to be a “Jett girl". Jett is mysterious, sexy, and brooding but has a heart of gold. His mission is to help the girls who are destitute, providing them with a job, food, logging and even free education. All he asks in return is that they “submit to him” at any time but only with their consent. Jett has been burned in the past so this time around he does not fancy a relationship or love. He is only in for a good time with no strings attached.

“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.”


Goldie is at the end of her rope – working at a lowly night club with a nasty boss, barely making ends meet. Goldie caught Jett’s eyes the first time when she was found sitting on Jett’s mothers tomb stone in a cemetery. Jett was intrigued by the beauty, curvy, sweet faced girl and he was determined to make Goldie one of his Jett girls. Jett is in for a surprise though because Goldie is anything but submissive. She has no brain to mouth filter and is not afraid of challenging her sexy boss. Goldie is driving Jett nuts but in a way, that’s what Jett loves about Goldie – her spirit, her sassiness, and her cheerful way of going about life. Goldie is pretty adorable. I think she was starting to go down a dark path but Jett saved her. Goldie wears her heart on her sleeve and she is not afraid to let her feelings known. Will Jett be able to return her affection or is his heart too broken to ever love another?

This book is pretty fun, sizzling hot, with a light-hearted plot. There is a third character Kace who is Goldie’s immediate boss. Kace has some kind of secret crush on Goldie which complicates the relationship he has with Jett. He is an important character, sweet, caring and a little mysterious – I feel like there should be more to him…maybe book 2? There is also a little drama with Jett’s deadbeat dad and Goldie’s ex-bed buddy which makes the plot more interesting and dramatic.

Over all, this is a nice introduction to a very sexy new series. I didn’t expect this kind of genre from Meghan and I am intrigued to see what comes next. I was thoroughly entertained.

Long story short – Jett Colby is a man who gets what he wants.

He brings down and out girls into his LaFayette Club and “helps” them.
He feed’s them, clothes them, gives them a job, pays off all their debts and makes them get an education. They are free to go whenever they like.

All he asks for in return is a few simple things like wearing masks in front of the customers, dressing how he likes, using the name he gives you, never disclosing anything about being a Jett Girl.

Oh and that you submit to him and him alone sexually.

So when he see’s Goldie. He wants her.
She’s a stubborn little thing but eventually decides (is umm helped) into becoming a Jett Girl.

However Goldie is a game changer for Jett.
That’s all I’m going to say about the storyline. Let’s talk about other things.

I really enjoyed this book, It has a very unique and wonderfully written storyline.

Told from Goldie/Lo and Jett’s POV we get all angles on the situation.

Jett is supposed to be an asshole, but he’s not really.

Just like this sounds like a dark and dirty novel. It’s not really.
But I’m ok with that.

The setting was amazing I’ve never been to New Orleans but I want to soo bad!
Meghan made me feel like I was there. Whether it was the dirty strip club, or an old cemetery to eating beignets in a café. Her writing style is very good.

The sex scenes were descriptive and awesome, some kinky scenes are in there and some very steamy musically scenes as well.

Kace – the best friend had the intrigued as all shit and I’m really hoping we get more of his story. I needed more.

We finished on a Happy for now. I can see on the cover this is called "the bourbon series" but I can't find anything else! I need more.. when???

Kace’s character was a great one, as I’ve said but the other Jett Girls as well as Jett and Lo have more to be told. Like what happens with Jett’s dad? And Rex?

Where do I sign up to be a Jett Girl???
A Lovely hot n spicy little number. What a bloomin good read.
It was light, fun, totally entertaining and sexy as hell. The wonderful Jett Colby and Kace even though we didn't actually get any sex with him he was still described and came over as a delicious hot alpha male.
I loved Goldie/Lo a great personality and she had a fantastic mouth on her and just loved the things that came out of it. Full of witt and fun. I liked that the girls she worked with were so nice. No bitchiness or cattiness among them. In fact their was more among the men!
Great story to be continued but no cliffy thank goodness. Just plenty left open for the next book.

I get it... I know what my fellow readers mean when they say "I wanna be a Jett Girl." Trust me, I've joined that queue and I'm happy to play dirty to get to the front of it... Lol. "Becoming a Jett Girl" was a book that was wrong on so many levels but OMG, so right in so many ways too. Yup I'm saying this as I sit here with the mother of all lady boners.. lol. It could have quite easily been a DNF but I couldn't help it, I got sucked in good and proper. My head was screaming at me to shut up shop and walk away but my hormones and my curiosity were dragging me back to Goldie and Jett's story... "Don't give up," they whispered. "Keep going," they said. And so I did... I read the book and finished the damn thing and immediately one clicked the second book.. go figure huh... who'd have thought a bunch of hormones would win out?
"You'll be the death of me, you know? Your defiance ignites the short fuse I have when I'm around you and all I want to do is stuff a gag in your mouth and take what's mine."

So the synopsis pretty much covers what this book was about. Jett Colby (self made rich kid) helped women who were at the depths of despair turn their lives around by offering them a position as a Jett Girl at the Lafayette Club. They danced, they paraded, they entertained but they never got touched and they didn't have sex with the customers... that was a rule. Sounds good right? Well there's always a catch and in this situation the catch was... they couldn't have sex with anyone except Jett. Yeah ... um.... I wasn't sure what to make of that. It sounded completely wrong but I read on to see whether I would get some sort of explanation... which I got. Jett dressed it up by saying they didn't have to have sex with him. It was a choice and it was all about pleasing the ladies.
When you hand over your body to me, I treat it with the utmost care and worship it. I understand the trust you are handing over to me and I make sure never to break it."

Well Mr Colby, dress it up any which way you want but when you remove the option of having sex with anyone else, you promise women the world, you find yourself a few highly sexed women, of course they're going to bend to your will and end up shagging your brains out. You're the only bloody option they have!!!! To say this infuriated me a little is an understatement. That said, I'm really sorry but my moral integrity went out the window because holy crap, this book gave me some of the hottest sex scenes I've read in a while and I mean the kind that have your panties wet, your hormones going crazy for some, your toes curling and your thighs clenching... no word of a lie this book turned me on no end and by the time I'd finished it, I desperately needed me some dirty!!! eye roll all you want but hey, I'm only human.
"Why did I start the Lafayette Club? Well, I'm in the business of saving tarnished souls."
Jett Colby was his own brand of asshole and he bugged the hell out of me. He was moody and mean and there were definitely times I wanted to knee him in the nuts. Did I like him? No but I kind of forgot myself a little because of all the naughtiness he delivered, his fingers and penis taking charge of any brain cells I had remaining... oops. Did he redeem himself? Not really despite getting his back story. let's just say, this man was a little more than just f**ked up with situation after situation turning him into dick head he had become. I tried to understand and sympathise but boy did he make it difficult.

After Hurricane Katrina took everything from Goldie, she was quite literally scraping the bottom of the barrel, trying to make ends meet. Well low and behold, when an offer to train as a Jett Girl presented itself, she grabbed the opportunity... this was last chance saloon, it was make or break. Goldie's character was fab.
There's feeling low and then there was the level I was at... hopeless.
She was a feisty firecracker who didn't take too well to being controlled. She was hilarious and her one-liners had me howling. There was absolutely no filter when it came to her mouth and for entertainment value, she was definitely a ten out of ten. The thing about Goldie was, she wasn't like the other girls. She needed human contact. she needed affection and love and so very quickly I knew which way this story would go. A man that won't let anyone in emotionally... a woman craving affection... there's only one way this could go .. right? Wrong!!! Expect the unexpected is all I'll say because this little one definitely surprised me with some of her behaviour choices.

For me, there were three main characters in "Becoming a Jett Girl" with Kace being the third one. He was a fantastic addition to the cast and definitely stirred things up a little. His back story was a sad one and I hated the way Jett held that over him at times... yup like I said... asshole!!! I can't wait to get to know Kace better and I really hope he gets his HEA. The other Jett Girls were equally amazing and I loved the bond they shared. they weren't at all how I thought they'd be. They had morals, they fought for one another and had each others backs. Now how often does that happen with a bunch of women?
Kace was a man of few words and he suffered from demons just like I did, every damn day of our lives. We had different demons haunting us day in and day out, but demons nonetheless.
"Becoming a Jett Girl" was definitely a guilty pleasure read. I shouldn't have enjoyed it but I freakin' loved it and the minute I turned the last page, the next book in the series was immediately clicked. I'm 20% in and Jett is still an asshole but I'm learning to cope with that... lol. Honestly, if you come across this book, read it. It'll have you laughing until your sides hurt, it'll have you worked up into a sexual frenzy and the story will definitely leave you begging for the next instalment... which is where I'm off to now. Enjoy peep. I rated this book ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Becoming A Jett Girl by Meghan Quinn
5 Stars

Yes, that’s right I said 5 Stars, you’re not seeing things. You know Lady Balls rarely gives em’ out but this one was so well deserved.

Where the hell do I even begin to describe what I just read? Awesome, funny as hell, witty, HOT and to be honest I will probably be hounding the author for the next book in this series on a daily basis. I don’t want to give too much of the book away because I don’t think summarizing it will give it justice but Ill give you the basics…

Goldie is on her own after losing her parents in Hurricane Katrina and barely getting by. She is working in a seedy strip club and HATES every second of it but right now it’s all she’s got. She is doing things to make money that are probably making her parents roll over in their graves but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. She is approached on more than one occasion to explore the opportunity of becoming a “Jett Girl” which at first she has no idea what it actually is. But soon finds out…

A Jett Girl works for Jett Colby, a sexy as hell, rich businessman who has created an extravagant “gentleman’s club”. What he is really doing is helping girls who are down and out. He gives them a job at his private club, feeds and clothes them, gives them an education and pays off all of their debt. And he just wants one simple thing from them in return…for them to submit to him sexually. There is more to his story and I can’t wait to see how other aspects of his life pan out.
Once Goldie finds out what it is she is being invited to do, she declines. But certain unforeseen incidents (or are they??) happen and she has no choice but to become a Jett Girl.

Jett is just f*&king hot as hell in every aspect. The way he was described in this book gave me a lady boner on more than one occasion. Yes, he does provide everything for these girls and just asks for sex in return but it’s just sex. He has been hurt in the past and has built a wall around his heart and no one gets in, ever. He has no emotional strings when it comes to sex and so far he seems ok with this arrangement and so do all the girls.
Naturally there is a more in depth story as to why Jett wants Goldie for a Jett Girl and that all comes out in the book as the story unfolds. You also have Kace. Oh Kace, Kace, Kace. What I wouldn’t do for a few hours in a room alone with him. He has his own story that is just touched upon (hoping his story is the next book – hint hint) He is broody, all male, hot and basically in charge of the girls. He is the go between for Jett and basically his right hand man. He forms a somewhat unhealthy “friendship” let’s call it, with Goldie. The banter between them that happens had me rolling on the floor. It’s freakin hysterical. Overall Goldie steals the show with her mouth and one liners through the whole book. Her strong will and bluntness was extremely refreshing and I loved every hysterical moment. I found my face hurt a lot through this book from smiling so much. I wanted to be her new best friend I swear! Let’s just say the rest of the book is Goldie settling in and her relationship with Jett is progressing. There are some hot freakin sex scenes that had me putting on the air conditioning! Could it be that Jett has finally met someone that can break down the walls of his heart? Can he let someone in again? This book had me from the first paragraph and I literally did not put it down until it was done and it only left me wanting more! There is no cliffy really but tons of opportunities for other books and seeing more of these characters. Loved it and highly recommend..so go buy it b*&ches!

This author has promise.

Review to come.

7/14

So many things....where to start...
There was raging.
There was laughing.
And yes...there were some sexy times.

The sexy times will get me to read another Quinn book,
but those characters...and the lady folds (



Please. No. More. Lady. Folds.


Alright moving on.

Jet.
I kept waiting for him to get some sort of redeeming quality. I guess I am still waiting.
He basically finds out their weaknesses (monetary mostly I am sure) and preys upon them brings them to the club so he can help them. They have no choice, or he makes it so they don't have a choice.

Then there is the constant mind games he plays with everyone around him:
"I have a good amount of evidence that would convict you." (said to his 'best friend')
"She needs a little crushing in order to see that we really are her only choice."
Oh and then he keeps Goldie (or Lo) at a distance until she is 'panting for it'. *SMH* Then he asks her on a date, but he doesn't have 'relationships'. Then why did you ask her on a 'date'?! AAAARRRGGGHHH

Ok.

So Goldie was cute and I even liked her character if only it wasn't for her referring to how much feminists would look down on her choices.
I'm sorry. I must rant. Talk amongst yourselves if you prefer. I'll give you a topic: Cheese Curds vs. Squeekie Cheese.



Ok so the review.

I enjoyed the dynamics of the girls. I love how they support each other, but there was some pranking and teasing that kept is believable to me.

I liked Kace as well. I am sure that he is going to get his own spin off series or something. I still want him to punch Jet .

I love that this did not end on a cliff hanger. You know the ones I speak of. The last page contains a kidnapping or a possible death. Yeah, none of that here. Bless you Quinn. Bless you.

I am in love with this book. Seriously in love. I've been in such a reading slump lately and needed something different! This book was it. It is so well written and captures you from the very first chapter. You are not going to want to put it down, so starting it at night like I did is not a good idea. I so want to be a Jett Girl. They are fierce, sexy, and powerful.

In Becoming a Jett Girl We get a dual POV from Jett, owner and founder of the Lafayette Club and the Jett Girls, and Goldie, a Jett Girl in training. I love a strong lead female character and that is exactly what Goldie is. She's feisty and funny. Some well actually a lot of the things that come out of her mouth will make you laugh uncontrollably, especially when she's got some liquor in her!! Goldie has been dealt a lot of blows in her life and finally gets a break when she is invited to be a Jett Girl. It's an offer she can't turn down and one Jett won't let her turn down. Ah Jett rich, powerful, and HOT with a voice that could melt your panties off. He's been hurt in the past and guards his emotions and heart. He doesn't do conventional relationships and keeps his walls toughly guarded. However Goldie and Jett have a strong connections not only physically but also emotionally. The physical side is HOT, like your panties are gonna spontaneously combust HOT. Jett starts to let Goldie in but pushes her right back out. I wanted to shake him and tell him to let go of the past!!!

I wouldn't say the book left in a cliffhanger but there is definitely more to the story and I cannot wait for more. I'm addicted to the series and will be patiently waiting for my next fix. This is my first book from the author but after reading this I'm going to be one-click her other work too. I highly recommend this book and you will to be disappointed,

This was different and I hope the theme continues to be different in book 2+3.

Having lost her parents in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Goldie's life was a constant uphill climb trying to pay off bills and debt that wasn't hers but her dead parents. Everyday she had to practically sell her soul to sleezballs just to make sure she wouldn't go hungry. She worked the floor in Kitten's Castle serving drinks and table 11 which housed the high priority people. That was her life until one night she was left a calling card inviting her to become a Jett Girl one of the most exclusive honours that could be earned. When you become a Jett Girl your life changes, your debts are taken care of and you become the exclusive property of Jett Colby.

Jett Colby is in the business to save tarnished souls after his Mother was callously thrown on the streets by his Father. He swore no woman would go through what his Mother went through.
Jett girls are trained, they follow the rules of the club and they submit to Jett but they have to follow his motto closely - no love, no relationships just sex.....that is until he meets Goldie.

Good start with lots of laugh out loud moments and some very good one liners. It makes a refreshing change to read a female character who is sassy and strong willed and not afraid to stand her ground.

I have always been a Meghan Quinn fan, so when I saw that she had re-released her Becoming a Jett Girl series I had to get around to reading it finally. I loved it as it was set in New Orleans and after being there in May 2017, it sparked memories of the places as Meghan had Goldie set up a store in Jackson Square, visit Cafe Dumond for the beignets and Bourbon Street fun and even mentioning the morning sanitation crew which I too was impressed with. Goldie is busy working and trying to stay afloat after her parents both died and then Hurrican Katrina hit. Goldie has attracted the attention of Jett Colby, and he wants her as one of his Jett Girls. Kace who btw had my attention doesn't think she is cut out to be one and we see the start of a possible love triangle forming but eventually becomes a love square as before Goldie becoming a Jett Girl she was the mistress of Rex Titan whose history goes way back with Jett Colby. Will Goldie aka Lo stay as a Jett Girl or will her heart go to Rex Titan? I am now looking forward to reading the rest of the series to see if Kace gets his own story as out of the guys he was my favorite.

I really like Meghan Quinn, and The Virgin Romance Novelist was one of my 5-star reads for 2015. It was absolutely hilarious. So when I saw she had a series set in my city, I was quick to request it. Unfortunately, the storyline and characters are just not working for me.

Don't get me wrong, the book is well-written and I find no fault with that. I just flat don't like these characters. And that happens sometimes, you are not going to like everyone you meet or read. For me, Goldie was just way too crass and somewhat gauche. I thought based on the blurb that I would feel sorry for her, as she has lost her parents, is in debt, and is trying to make her way in the world by stripping and prostituting herself. But she was so tasteless and over the top that I just felt dirty reading about her. (And please, I never want to read about 'panty pudding' ever again.)

Jett has more potential as a character, but he is still coming off more sleazy than philanthropic. If he really wanted to help these women who were so like his mom, he wouldn't have made them his harem. That gives the mommy issues a huge ick factor. I didn't like the dynamic that was happening between any of the characters, they all seemed to be using each other. The only semi-normal relationships were the friendship among the Jett girls.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. Love the author, and the writing is fine, but the characters are not for me. And when I say it is well-written, I mean that. I am very curious as to how the series will play out. I like how the plot is unfolding. I just don't know if I can deal with the characters enough to keep reading. 3 stars / 4 flames.

Meghan Quinn is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite authors.

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!

Well, well, well what do we have here?

When I saw the teasers for the re-release of this series, I was drawn to the mysterious sex on a stick that seemed to represent Jett. The man, the club, the girls...It was enticing, intriguing.

I started Bourbon Sins and wasn't sure. I try not to be judgemental but the opening caught me off guard. I read the blurb. I knew where they were coming from but it took an adjustment period. Boy, am I glad I stuck it out.

I have never considered selling my body to make ends meet. I couldn't even process that thought. I'm not a stranger to idiots asking but I could never consider it. So Goldie is a perplexing person to me...

Trying to understand, I see that it's not a choice but a method of survival. I think that's how I was able to connect to someone I never would have otherwise. Jett though....(Shaking my head)

Jett will drive you nuts. You will see. Rules, behavior, and etiquette drive the club. Jett rules the club. Kace runs it. And there's another thing...

Two ridiculously gorgeous pieces of man candy. Choices are not an option. Looking but not touching heightens everything. Gorgeous women flaunting their bodies. Being turned on by the pictures of seduction, sex, and blazing lust, Meghan Quinn can make you feel the sin and debauchery of New Orleans without leaving your chair. Lounging at home you can taste the lust. You will feel the brazen desire. You will get worked up, turned on, and twisted out. The question is...

Are you worthy of being a Jett Girl?

I sure hope I am.

This storyline was fun to read; it was unique and so different to what I’m used to reading from this author. Don’t get me wrong, it still had the hilarious, laugh out loud moments that is Meghan Quinn. Even though the story flowed seamlessly, I did have a hard time getting into the book but once I did, I couldn’t put it down.

I want to be a Jett Girl!! Okay, I really just want to be Jett’s girl. Holy hell that man is just yummy, sex on a stick! I loved him; loved the sweetness, loved the cockiness, loved the hurt he has endured and all those walls he’s built and I love his heart! He is protective, with a side of creepy. From the start, you could tell things with Goldie/Lo were different and that he was different around her. When they finally meet, I swooned and then the second time in the Bourbon Room…wow… I will never be able to hear Sail by AWOLNATION again without thinking about Jett and his tongue.

Goldie/Lo was a strong character that I couldn’t help but love. She was feisty and stubborn as hell and the stuff that came out of her mouth cracked me up. She has been through so much in the past nine years and I really wanted to see her succeed. She was such a fun character to read.

Now let’s talk about Kace….omg, I LOVED him!! Not gonna lie, I wanted him to just bang Goldie. The banter those two had was on fire; he was a complete jerk one minute and then the sweetest guy the next. That lap dance…sweet Lord…. Seriously I could not get enough of him.

3.5 stars..

I have mixed emotions about this book. I know it's about becoming a Jett girl but really I wish it was about becoming a Kace girl. I just have to get that out there.

Goldie is working at a sleazy strip club trying to make ends meet when she serves (she's a waitress) two men in a secluded booth. She is instantly aware of them just by the sound of their voices. She never sees their faces. But with her tip is a card with her name and a phone number with the logo of the Jett girls.
I really liked how hesitant she was at first, but I have to say it would be hard not to give in like she did.

The problem for me was that we met Kace first and there was so much interaction and attraction to him that by the time Goldie met Jett, I was already a goner for Kace. I also found it crazy that Jett slept with the other girls. I just really did not like that at all. Obviously it was a given going into this book but it still grated on my nerves. But I think that is just because I wanted some action with Kace!

Overall this book did hold my interest, it was hot as hell, and it had some LOL moments as well! I'm pretty sure I will be reading the next one!

5 HUGE STARS - I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

This book sucks you in from sentence one and I could not put it down. Pulled an all night read because it is just that amazing.

Goldie is funny and a firecracker and had me laughing throughout the whole book and her snappy comments and quick witted comebacks.

Jett is hot and powerful and will definitely leave you begging for more with his sexy voice and commanding presence.

Goldie, Jett and the other cast of characters including an equally hot body guard Kace all come together in an explosive first glimpse into the exclusive Lafayette Club, where more is happening upstairs in the Bourbon Room than what is seen on the dance floor.

I cannot wait for a second book to see where this story continues.

I am so ready to pack my bags move to New Orleans and beg to become a Jett Girl!!!

My Blogging Reader's Rating for 'BECOMING A JETT GIRL': 4 1/2 stars out of 5! :)

My ‘Blogging Reader’s Review’ after reading ‘Becoming A Jett Girl' by Author Meghan Quinn (via: Booksmoviesfandoms.wordpress.com):

Author Meghan Quinn never lets her readers down when it comes to expecting an entertaining story, well-written characters and a novel that you just can’t put down. This novel is titled ‘Jett Girl’ and is the first novel of ‘The Bourbon Series’. I enjoyed reading and reviewing ‘Jett Girl’ because it was a fun read thanks to the perfect blend of erotic moments, fun sarcasm and the storyline does not leaves you feeling gypped or rushed. In this novel, you’ll read the story through the dual P.O.V.’s(point of views) of Goldie and Jett Colby.

We are first introduced to Goldie, a young beautiful petite-female with chestnut hair, azure colored eyes and curves in the places men drool over. She who works at a pretty seedy adult entertainment club by the name of ‘Kitten’s Castle’ as a waitress to make ends meet. Her parents were lost one tragic day and since then she’s never really had many close relationships other than her one close friend Lyla, who works with her. Sex appeal and beauty helps pay the bills most of the time but with that, also comes the touchy perverts. This has been her lifestyle while living in a shared apartment with Lyla in the historical French Quarter of New Orleans. She’s offered a once in a lifetime opportunity that would change her world upside down, if she accepts the offer that is.

Next, there is Kace. Oh yes, Kace is definitely a character that had me sometimes feeling torn between him and Jett. He’s described as sexy and suave, with dark short hair, blue eyes and a tall muscular body that makes women hot and bothered. He is Jett’s best friend and definitely is one of those supporting characters that you hope becomes the main focus in one of the future novels of this series. I enjoyed the dynamics of the story between Goldie and Kace. His character comes across as someone who could be the best friend to have and a scary enemy to cross, thanks to his skills. Loved that about him.

And then there is Jett Colby. Jett is handsome and sexy with clean cut and nicely styled dirty blonde hair, tall in height, very fit and has deep blue eyes. He’s best friends with Kace and the owner of Lafayette Club, where rich men go to handle business deals and afterwards, can unwind with the pricey, classy and sexy entertainment. He keeps a certain discreet order in his club. The women who reside and entertain there follow certain rules and in trade, Jett offers them comforts they never knew, an education and a lifestyle far better than wherever he found them. The agreement between Jett and Jett’s girls is that they must all submit to him. No relationship, just sex, consensual and erotic sex.

The story is great and kept me wanting to see what was next. I literally could not put it down. ‘Jett Girl’ is a steamy read, that’s for sure but there is so much more to it. You’ll get some suspense, funny dialogue that especially comes from Goldie and the story succeeded in entertaining me from start to finish. There is no cliffhanger but you can tell that a few things are left open-ended, which makes me know I can expect more from the next novel of this series. I highly recommend this novel. I can not wait to see what is in store for the characters of ‘The Bourbon Series’. Very enjoyable!


My Blogging Reader's Star Rating for 'Becoming A Jett Girl' is 4 1/2 out of 5 stars! :)
