I loved Jett & Julia from the start, and their story was always intriguing. I love how we get to see them from their first meeting, falling in love, and everything that happened between them over the years. We all asked for Jett & Julia’s Story, and Jaxson has certainly delivered with this book. I can’t wait to see how it all continues in Hidden Creek Now.

Pure Awesomeness!! Jaxson Kidman takes us back to Hidden Creek once again, as he gives us Jett & Julia’s story, both past & present, as well as insight into some of the other characters that we’ve already met in a Hidden! You will definitely experience all the “feels” for Jett, while wanting to just shake Julia! I mean how to you give up a great guy like Jett? Definitely my new book boyfriend!! Kidman continues to amaze me with each new story, one even better than the last!! (And the lasts we’re pretty damn amazing!). He is on fire with this series, you definitely don’t want to miss Jett & Julia’s story!!

Ohhhh I'm so happy!! Julia and Jett!!
These two have always intrigued me, what was their story? What happened all those years ago?? Well it's here and oh my God, I love it. We see how they fell in love, what their relationship was like and I love how the story bounces back and forth between "then" and "now". It does leave us with a bit of a cliffhanger because let's face it, it wouldn't be a Jaxson Kidman series or in this case a duet without one. So now we wait 10 long, long days for Hidden Creek Now!! Technically you can read this duet as a standalone but personally I'd recommend reading the entire #hch series so you would have a good idea of who's who in this story. I'm looking forward to the next book in this story and if I could give this one a 100 stars I would!! Well worth the read!

A definitive 5 stars again for you Jaxson. You think that Jaxson outdid himself in the #HCH and #BFH series but reading Jett and Julia's story lets you know that Jaxson has a lot more to offer. Jett and Julia, falling madly in love when they were so young. He is a fighter for money...Julia hates the fights, which leads to lies and deception and it all comes crashing down. Julia marries Kinney, Jett leaves town with Pops money, stolen from the garage.......Her love for the bakery keep her going even after Aunt Bea passes and then Jett returns. He loves Julia and swears there is nobody else he wants. He will fight for her love again. Can they get their second chance at romance or is there too much history that keeps them apart. A definite must read story and I can't wait for part 2 Hidden Creek Now.

Julia and Jett
I have been waiting for this story and wondering about Julia and Jet since the first HCH book. This book does not disappoint. The chemistry between these two is amazing. Jett is swoon worthy and Julia is sweet. I love them together. I am not sure what drove them apart to begin with and I can't wait for the next book so I can learn more of their history and see how this ends for them.

Intriguing story
I really enjoyed reading Jett & Julia story it isn’t your typical young adult love story. It raw, realistic & has twists and turns you can easily imagine yourself going through.

Jett & Julia
Now, that we have their story, we find out a little more about these two. Jaxson was asked and begged for this and he did not let us down. I love these two and I cannot wait to see the next story!

I love Julia and Jett. The glimpses of Jett with Wes and Julia there too. I love that Cherry knows those to well. We got to know more about Pops, aunt Bae & Cherry. These to break my heart. They love each other so much and fight it too. Jett is now my favorite hands down.

Jett was just passing through, or so he thought.
Jett finds himself working at Pop's garage and settling down in Hidden Creek all because of Julia. The same Julia, who years later, would rip his heart to shreds. The tension between them is a mixture of lust, betrayal, hurt and love. Yes, definitely love. Some things you just never get over. You can move on, but it's not the same. And Jett and Julia definitely have unfinished business. Some broken hearts never heal, they just stay broken. It may just take complete, emotional surrender. Or is that asking too much after what they've already been through?
In this book we learn more about Jett and Julia, their young love and their pending adulthood. This book answers a lot of questions brought up in the previous Hidden Creek books. We also get to read about Wes as a boy and the dynamic between Wes and Jett.
THIS BOOK...EMOTIONAL AND UNPUTDOWNABLE ! A SECOND CHANCE FOR GREAT LOVE THAT LOST IT'S WAY BUT NEVER LOST IT'S HOPE !
Jaxson's writing is flawless and his words brought Jett and Julia to life. He beautifully shows the hurt and the struggle to forgive, even when it's the person you love most. With this series, he has captured a piece of my heart.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK ! I CAN'T WAIT FOR BOOK 2 !

Jett & Julia
I was looking forward to reading Jett and Julia’s story, and I wasn’t disappointed. Loved Jett, the broken bad boy made good, Julia’s decision making left me scratching my head, the ending where she sent a wedding invitation to Jett felt like she was rubbing his nose in it. Their shared heartbreak is almost palpable, and I felt Jett’s pain over his best friend. I really hope Julia finally gets her stuff together and finally gives Jett the chance he’s been longing for, for so long. Looking forward to reading the next book, a beautiful read as usual from a talented author. Loved it, definitely recommend it

Jett & Julia
So glad to read about Jett and Julia. It is great when secondary characters finally get the spotlight. Such a relatable story of an undying love that has survived through the years. Even though life happened and pulled them in different directions, those feelings never died. How will their story play out.. Read it !! More to come. As always Jaxson Kidman continues to impress and amaze me. I absolutely loved this book. Jett and Julia are my new favorites.. I can not wait to read more stories about everyone in Hidden Creek.

HIDDEN CREEK THEN (Hidden Creek Jett and Julia Book #1) By Jaxson Kidman
I have loved Jett and Julia since we 1st met them, and I was hoping Jaxson would give us their story. I have very much enjoyed this. This story is a second hand romance with lots of emotional angst, smokin’ chemistry, drama, secrets, lies and so much more. Mr. Kidman takes us from the past to the present and back again. He is absolutely brilliant at putting a tale together, and this is one of his best! 5 stars and I so wish I could give it more. I can’t wait to read the 2nd book!

Hidden creek then was a great read I loved it from the beginning.
Jett and julia were perfect together.
Although most of this book was frustrating the hell out of me.
I found julia to a bit irritating at times with can I or cant I attitude. Jett was the perfect guy always there to take care of everyone. He and Julia had been together since they were teenagers but were drifting a part.
Cant wait to read hidden creek now to find out what happens next
I highly recommend this book.

You’ve waited for their story and it doesn’t disappoint
HCH THEN - I was so excited to finally u defat and the story of Jett and Julia. A love that is meant to be, even with all of their challenges. Jaxson, as always does a great job of telling a love story with all the grit and grime and not always the happily ever after. The only thing I can say is bring on the next book I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Pulling from the past into the present!
Jaxson finally gives us the story we've asked for and book one does not disappoint! Jett and Julia met as teens and an instant attraction grew into something wild. We are shown flash backs of the past and snippets of the present stringing them together to help us understand why they broke apart. The angst and the love pours from the pages and makes you long for them to heal and be together!

Jaxson Kidman is such an amazing writier that draws you in from the beginning and keeps you reading until the very end. I have wanted to know about Jett and Julia since the first book in the Hidden Creek Series and now I get to find out. What happened to them? Do they get a happy ending? This first book has answered some of my questions and I can't wait for the second part!

Jaxson Kidman does it again continuing Hidden Creek with the story we've been waiting for ! Jett and Julia ! How Jett met Julia at a fight. How he started at working Pops garage, Julia came to work with Aunt Bea at the bakery. Their love is explosive, tormented, steamy, but this is only the beginning. It's their story to tell, it all continues in the next book, Hidden Creek Now! This world of Hidden Creek just keep getting better with each story!
