Red Eye: Coffee Break Bundle
Sleep is for people who have their lives together.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed—and life? Skip the double espresso; you need a Red Eye. This bundle serves up a high-octane jolt of satirical chaos, featuring four stories of people pushed to the edge and finding the funny side of the drop. It’s the perfect caffeine-fuelled quick escape for your next 15-minute break.
THE ONLY Harry is a financial conceptual artist—which is a fancy way of saying he deals in high-stakes "ideas" and the occasional 17th-century masterpiece. It’s been years since he sold a Rembrandt to a billionaire, but it was the billionaire’s quiet assistant, Angela, who left the real impression. Now, after nothing but a few flirtatious memories, Angela is back in touch, and she’s trading fine art for high-altitude desperation.
It turns out Angela wasn't just an assistant; she’s a Chinese spy in need of a very fast, very discrete exit. Now, Harry’s "modest" single-engine plane is the only thing standing between them and an international incident. Can a man who views money as an "artistic medium" successfully navigate a mile-high rescue, or will their second meeting be their last? It’s a satirical flight of fancy where the stakes are real, the plane is tiny, and the sparks are reaching terminal velocity.
SKIN Bee’s job is pamper high-maintenance men until they feel like gods. But when aging Rock Star Marc struts into her orbit, her "strictly hands-off" policy is put to the ultimate test. What follows is a caffeinated, offbeat collision between Bee’s reality and Marc’s ego as they tackle the big the meaning of life, the chaos of IVF, and why rock stars are allergic to common sense. It’s a hilarious look at what happens when the person who appears have everything meets the woman who isn’t buying any of it.
NOW OR NEVER
Now or When a family crisis goes from zero to sixty, Pansy is forced to drop a truth bomb that will change their relationship forever. Pansy and her father have always been close, but "close" is about to get uncomfortable. When a high-stakes, nerve-wracking crisis pushes them to the breaking point, the filter finally comes off. Trapped in a situation with zero exit strategy, Pansy realizes it’s now or never to drop the secret she’s been hauling around for months. A heartwarming yet biting satire on family dynamics, truth-bombs, and the terrifying realization that your parents might actually be human.
CHECK MATE: Across a table of champagne and lies, media mogul Rollo is busily feigning a broken heart. After ten years of "paradise," he’s ready to discard Laya Roumoulian, patronizingly offering to use his publishing empire to print her "silly little book of girly fluff" as a parting gift. It’s the perfect exit—or so he thinks. Rollo believes he’s playing a pawn, but Laya has spent a decade documenting the kind of secrets no empire can survive. As the masks slip, he’s about to discover that her "memorial" isn’t chick-lit—it’s his professional obituary. In this high-stakes game of power, Rollo is about to find out what happens when you underestimate the woman who knows exactly where the bodies are buried.

This is a delicious addition to Jinx James' Coffee Break series. There are 4 short stories in this addition. I love how strong the ladies are and all the characters definitely fall under quirky in my book, which makes the stories even better. I can't decide which story or character is my favorite in this book, they all worked really well together. I won't divulge anything about the actual stories because I don't want to ruin them for you. I highly recommend you check it out, it's a great way to spend an hour or two. Enjoy

Another collection of stories from the author who keeps entertaining me with such a variety of characters and events.
Nothing is predictable, and that's what is so wonderful about all these short stories. Just when you think the story might be headed i one direction, it takes a turn and heads down another path entirely.
Love it!! Read all the author's works. You'll be recreating the stories and maybe even rewriting the endings (or continuing them) in your head for a while.
