Jagger

Rate this book
The name’s Jagger. Jagger Monroe.
Most of the time, I go by Jag, seeing as that’s what they scream at the top of their lungs when they want more.
I’m a playboy—a male stripper in one of Sin City’s hidden gems.
Fawned over and highly coveted, these chicks all come in here for one thing, and one thing only…
The Jag Experience.
An experience not quite for the faint of heart.
Cocky? Maybe.
But what can I say? I’m good at what I do and I know it without a doubt.
Until I’m all but knocked on my ass.
Enter Vida Mendez.
It was supposed to be one dance, but one dance quickly spirals into something neither her nor I are expecting.
With baggage weighing heavy on both ends, our whirlwind affair is a literal disaster waiting to happen.
This career already cost me so much, so why the hell would she be an exception to the rule?

I loved Jagger. Strong, sexy alpha Male. Male dancer? Hell yes! That always makes a good book. I loved the fact that Jagger had a daughter and baby momma issues. And the fact that he found that one person, instead of one or two people a night, was a good thing. It made it interesting that Vida had a little baggage of her own because let's face it, who doesn't have baggage? I really do need more of this couple though. All and all 4/5 stars. This is not my first book by Dee Garcia and she doesn't disappoint.

Welllll... male strippers aren’t usually my thing, but I freaking love Dee, and so I read this one. I really enjoyed it! It’s sexy as hell, and just a fun, quick read. I definitely recommend Jagger if you’re looking for a steamy novella!

Sweet and hot but reaaally short story.
I truly liked these characters, and the story itself, so the fact that it's so short is why I'm giving 3 stars.
It's good, but a lot of things is missing and in the end, the author just trow the couple together and The End.
Some things that were mentioned along the book, are still without a closure.
I guess I'm just frustrated because this really had a potential for a full novel.

NSFW !!! And I loved every second of it! I originally read this story in the SIX anthology, and I have to admit, it immediately stood out to something I couldn’t forget. I loved the dynamic-the world that was created me transported me right to the Las Vegas Strip-and even though it was a novella I was able to connect to the characters and adore the burning red hot chemistry and air of hotness that Jagger exuded.
This book had a bit of everything you can want in a quick read-drama, extreme hotness, and a solid plot. I would absolutely recommend this book!

Very Different from the Usual Dark and Delicious

This author is my unicorn author. If she writes it I will read it. It is as simple as that. This story is very different from this author's typical works. I had originally read this for the Men of Six anthology but this is an enhanced version of that story.

I loved Jagger but I also wanted to strangle him. There were many things at play here and I pondered whether some of his behaviors were because he was longing for stability but he used his job as a stripper to lose himself into the "life" rather than have to truly acknowledge the baggage that he carried. I think if this had been a full-length novel that it would have been fleshed out more. It could also mean that I just wanted more words from this author because I need her words like I need air. Either way, I wanted to connect more with him and also with Vida but never got to that point because the story was over just as I was getting into it.

The premise of the story was solid and if I closed my eyes I could picture it as if I was watching it as a live show in Vegas. As usual, the author included a fantastic playlist and had hot steamy moments. In fact, the story did have one of the hottest scenes ever. MFF doesn't normally appeal to me but maybe if it was written as well as this author wrote it I could become a fan.

Off topic, Can I just say that this cover might be one of my favorites of all books ever? Stunning.

I've read "Jagger" before when it was included in the "Six: A Men of the Strip Anthology" back in 2018 but I loved all the stories so much, that I decided to do so rereading and am so glad I did.

I absolutely loved Jagger's story and his relationship with Vida. Their connection is incredible and the mutual attraction is mindblowing.

All the other aspects of Jagger's life give him more depth and lead us to empathize with him even more. And even though it's in a smaller scale - since with the anthology we could get more into it - we still get a good glimpse into these men's lives while working at SIX, described as "Sin City's hidden gem".

After this, I might actually do a reread of said anthology, which unfortunately I don't believe is still available for purchase.

Through a quick search, I was only able to find "Jagger" and "Sinclair" by Alice La Roux, unless some of the other stories were later published with new names or in other anthology/collections.

Jagger by Dee Garcia absolutely wrecked me—in the best way possible.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

From the first page, Jagger oozes that dangerous, bad-boy energy that makes you know you’re in trouble… the delicious kind. He’s raw, unapologetic, and broken in a way that makes you want to fix him (even though you know you shouldn’t). And don’t even get me started on the chemistry—because wow. The tension, the heat, the slow burn that explodes into full-on inferno… four-alarm fire levels of spice.

But it’s not just the steam that hooks you. Dee Garcia knows how to balance grit and emotion perfectly. The story has heart, pain, and redemption—all tangled up in passion and chaos. By the end, I was clutching my Kindle and whispering, “Just one more chapter.”

If you love your romance with intensity, tattoos, a bit of darkness, and a whole lot of heart, Jagger is a must-read.

Dee Garcia did a great job on Jagger, this was a great story. It was well written and had a great plot that was filled different emotions. Jag and Vida were great characters, both have been through a lot. Both have problems with their exes.
Jag was a charmer. He wasn't ready for anything serious when it came to women, that was until Vida came in the picture. From the moment Jag laid eyes on Vida, he was drawn to her.
Vida and Jag were made for each other, their attraction and connection was strong and their chemistry was off the charts steamy. They were good for each other but they had many ups and downs because of outsiders. I'm going to stop there, I don't to give too much away. I'd recommend reading.
This was a great story. I enjoyed Vida and Jag's story, they were great together.
Thank you, Dee Garcia. Great work :)

Ok, so let me start with this book is super hot. Do NOT read it it public. You've been warned.

Jag is a young dad trying to do anything he can to see his baby girl and give her the world. Including becoming a male stripper. Never did he imagine he would meet the one woman to bring him to his knees, while working at the club.

Vida, a woman desperately trying to move forward with her life, but the past just won't go away. On a much needed girls night out, she catches the eye of the one person she never expected to want. Falling fast, Vida needs time to process her emotions and in the process pushing Jag away.

Does Jag finally get the life he's always wanted or is his occupation too much for any woman to handle?

This story is a novella written by Dee Garcia from her SIX: Men of the Strip Anthology. This novella focuses on Jagger, known as Jag, an exotic dancer on the Strip, who is also a loving father to his daughter, Mila.

Amidst this angst, Jag meets Vida at the club where he dances and it’s a bit of instant attraction for them both. Vida, too, is having issues with her ex and it seems as if life’s circumstances will stand in the way of Jag and Vida being together. Will they be able to overcome all their obstacles, even those that are self-made, to be together? Find out in this don’t-miss, loving story.

Sort hot and sweet.

This was a quick read although life kept preventing me from reading it all in one sitting. Jag and Vida come from two different worlds but together? They set both on fire!

I love that she was able to capture his heart and break down a little of that bad boy act.

The scenes in this book should totally be read while having ice, a fan, and a little "handy helper." Close by.

While this is my first solo read by Dee, this isn't my first time reading her words and just seals the deal on me reading others from her.

I just wish it was longer. :)

5* because it was Hot hot hot. And had very sweet moments.

This was a hot and steamy read and I loved every second of it. It definitely gave me major Magic Mike vibes. Jagger and Vida meet at the club he is working at and immediately you can feel the attraction between them rolling off the pages. I loved how Jagger was a bit of a playboy but immediately changed his ways when he set his sights on Vida. All it takes sometimes is to meet the right person and your whole world is flipped on it's axis. I loved seeing Jagger with his little girl, bringing out his softer side and I loved watching Vida and Jagger work through their problems together. My only complaint is that I wish the book was longer cause I didn't want it to end.

I was lucky enough to get a early copy of this and let me tell you....a couple of scenes will melt your panties right off,then you have other scenes where it melts your heart with the way he is with his daughter mila.
Vida an Jag both have there own baggage,but both deserve second chances at love again,there first interaction is hot as shit,and there chemistry just grows from there.

If you are after a hot and I mean seriously hot steamy read, that will have you on the edge of your seat then Jagger is a must read. Think Magic Mike on steroids as Jagger will have you throwing $100 bills instead of singles. Vida and Jag both come with baggage and at times this weighs so heavily you are just not sure what the outcome will be. Their story will leave you breathless, have you captivated and ultimately falling in love with these two strong characters.

Ok I will start by saying I love Jagger he was the best. But Vida she is another story I was not a fan of her I think she took what Jagger did way out of proportion that for me it didn't suit well with me. But at least at the end of the story she made everything right and made my Jagger happy that is all I ask for

Hot! Hot! Hot! 🔥🔥🔥

What a great story! Lots of hot panty melting moments. Who wouldn’t love their own stripper to entertain them! Jagger is one sexy man. He comes with a lot of baggage and needs a strong woman to help him out and Vida is just the sexy woman to do it.

Great writing-fantastic story. I definitely want more!

Highly recommend.

A hot ,short, steamy read with Jag and Vida one look was all it took for both of them. They both have baggage. But what will it take for these two to see that they are meant to be. Each page is hot and steamy as the next. With emotions and everything in this amazing read. Can't wait to read more from her.

Jagger is a sweet dad, but he's gotta support his baby girl, and stripping is his best option. Vida is from a different world, but it doesn't slow down their chemistry at all! I love the emotional baggage, the challenges they faced, and of course, the steam! This is a quick and sexy read, and I wouldn't have minded it being a full-length book!

If you enjoyed magic mike you’ll like this book!

I really liked this book and finished it in one sitting, I realize it’s not a long book but if I wasn’t into it it could have taken a long time for me to finish it. I wanted more from this story, so I wish it would have been longer then it was but other then that I do t have anything against it.

Jagger was a hot little piece

There really isnt enough male stripper stories out there. This one was really good and the sec between Jagger and Vida was HOTTTT. I now am going to be looking for all the separate stories from the other authors in that anthology because I need more. I love this author and their story telling.

I wanted to like her

Jag and Vida's story was an interesting one. In the beginning I adored their story so much and as the plot came and I was like ooooohhhh 👀. That's when I started not liking Vida and wanting Jag for myself. Yup. That's how it happened. I don't regret it. I don't like them for each other. Amazing story as all of Miss Dee's books are.

Scorching hot, quick read. Jagger is a seriously, hot alpha stripper. Vida is a strong, independent woman who knows what she wants but is hesitating to jump all in. When these two are together it’s truly all consuming! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why did it have to be a novella. It needs to be longer such a great story and I want to know what happens next. Jagger is such a playboy that it is kinda funny to see him go after a women like Vida. Vida being independent, and stubborn, but yet sweet. Such a good book.

I really loved everything about this book. Absolutely and completely adore both Jagger and Vida. Even though their relationship goes a little fast it is still just right and perfect for them. Could not put down when I started this, it was that great for me!

Wow!!!

Talk about hot and heavy. Stripper by night, trying to be a dad by day (if the baby mama will let him). One night on the dance floor and a pair of green eyes sends him into meltdown mode. He can't stop thinking about her. Will she return inlike? He hopes so. Enjoy!
