Just Jake..........Just Krystal...............Just love
Just Jake is the fifth book in the Reynolds Family series and is about Jake Reynolds and Krystal. Krystal is on her way to start her life until her older Mustang has a few issues on a deserted road. She was on her way to a job interview at Reynolds Inc. to be the assistant to the CEO, Mr. Drew Reynolds. But even with one flat tire and steam coming from under the hood and basically no cell service she is still determined and hoping for a miracle. The thing is that she needs to prove to her older step-sister Tanya that can survive without her and make it on her own. The sisters are the only family either of them has. When their parents were killed in a car accident Tanya raised a much younger Krystal but has held resentment about it which comes out in a lot of passive-aggressive behavior. Jake owns a very successful auto garage in town and has spent the last several years concentrating on growing the business only. He now has a number of employees and a busy business. But he does not have anyone to share it which he would like. Jake is on his way back to town after taking a trip to buy a part that was needed for an older car in the shop. He is driving fast on the country road when he blows past a car on the side of the road and a young woman that barely moved out of the way. He turns around and comes back to find a beautiful young woman who is in need of assistance. He checks under her hood and determines that it will have to be towed so he arranges to do that for her. But she is not to sure whether to trust him or not as he could be a serial killer. But Krystal is in need of getting to her interview, even though she is going to be late as it is. Lucky for her Jake is Drew's cousin and he texts him to let him know, without letting Krystal know he has done it. Jake has already made up his mind that she is the one for him and he will help her in any way she needs, along with keeping her safe. But with Tanya still nattering in her brain Krystal is still determined to make it all on her own.
I really liked this story story. It is well written, has a great story-line and a couple great characters. Jake has found the woman for him. Krystal is determined to make it all on her own, even when she needs some help. Jake is wonderful with Krystal as he is just there offering that little bit of assistance to her and eventually makes her realize that just because she can do it all on her own does not mean that she still cannot accept some help when it is offered.
Krystal is on her way to a job interview when her car breaks down on the side of the road. She is miles away from town and only has a few minutes till she is due to her interview. She looks down at her phone and there is no reception and now her battery is almost dead. Where will she find help in time to make it to her interview. Then Jake flies by in his truck, then realises that someone broke down and turns around.
When Jake sees Krystal, he is in lust. He helps her to town to make it to her interview, although his cousin is the person Krystal is supposed to interview with. He sends him a text and explains why she is late. Krystal gets the job, but now she needs a place to stay. Jake invites her to stay with him. She does and never leaves again. They both have their happily ever after.

It’s one thing to ask for help. It’s something totally different when someone offers you help and their strength attached. This is what Krystal has in doored for a while. So when “just Jake “shows up with his truck and offers to help her by telling her car and a ride to her interview it seems to good to be true. Krystal has excepted help from Jake expecting that there is something else that he wants. But that’s not the case. It’s different from when her stepsister gives her help with negative statements every time she needs it even if she doesn’t. Can Krystal except help without thinking that there’s negativity now that she is on her own? No cliffhanger very short into the point. 3.5 stars I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Krystal's car breaks down on her way to a job interview in a new city, and quickly loses the little charge she had left on her phone. Just Jake picks her up on the side of the road, and gets her to her interview. He owns a garage, so he makes arrangements to to and repair her car. I really enjoyed this story. Krystal thinks Just Jake is being pushy, but he knows she's "the one", and he's concerned for her safety. She also wants to do everything herself, to prove to her half sister that she can make it on her own. (Sorry for the cheese MTM reference - I'm showing my age!) There's a very sweet ending.

Jake
When I found her, broken down on the side of the road, I knew I had to look out for her. She’s new to town and oblivious to its dangers. It’s easy enough to protect her when her car is in my shop and she’s staying in my house. But convincing her to stick around might be the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced. ***** Krystal is so determined to do everything on her own that she pushes Jake away. I liked the way Krystal and Jake were when they were together and Krystal wasn't letting outside influences affect their relationship. Jake was all-in immediately and that was just awesome. I loved their happy ever after and I recommend reading this book.

An insta-love, quick romance that will have you smiling the whole time. Even though Krystal has a rough start, when she meets Jake everything just falls into place. As much as she fights it, she knows he’s right when it comes to them. It’s really short but perfect to help you relax and unwind.

This book was a quick steamy romantic and sweet. This is my first story in the Reynolds series and I wasn't disappointed. Jake Reynolds is what most women want in a man...protective, dependable, trustworthy, respectable and romantic. Krystal was lucky that Jake was around to assist her when everything it seem wasn't going right. Krystal was cautious but she was also instantly attracted to Jake. She wants to be independent but something about Jake makes her want to give up some of that independence. This book shows it's OK to be independent but it is also OK to receive help too. Their love was quick and over the top but it was sweet. I enjoyed it.

Fantastic story! Characters that will steal your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love- hate deal as the characters face their demons. You will feel their emotions and struggles. A definite must read.

First things first; I really like the cover of this book! Just Jake is book five in the Reynolds family series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. When Krystal’s car breaks down on the way to an interview it is a handsome stranger that comes to her rescue. From the moment Jake meets Krystal he wants her. The chemistry between Jake and Krystal is clear to see and I liked them together. I thought that they made a cute couple. I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.
The story line and character work were terrific. The book had a good flow to it. This was another great addition to the series. I look forward to more from this author.

Just Jake is a simple instalove story of two people who happen to be in the right place at the right time.
Krystal is trying to make it on her own, but she learns that sometime you do need help. Jake is a gentleman, he helps without thinking or wanting in thing in return.
This is a fast sweet story that will melt you heart.

A Must Read HEA with no cliffhangers

I had an enjoyable time reading the Reynolds siblings and was surprise that there is anothrt book in the series, i.e., Jake, who turned out to be their cousin.
It was a chance encounter for Jake and Krystal and he was smitten with her. Knowing how precious she is, he moved fast and finally hooked his bride, of course she had to realize something first.

Wonderful book #5 of the Reynolds Family Series. Krystal is on her way to interview for a job when she meets Jake after her car breaks down and he stops to help. Jake sets his eyes on Krystal and he knows she is the one for him so he has her old car towed to his auto shop. She gets the job which is with his cousins company and he offers her his home when she does not have any where to stay. All things are working just like Jake had hoped. This is a sweet romance with two great characters.
A meeting at the side of the road changed their whole life. Jake found his HEA next to a road with a flat. He fell head over heels and their relationship went lightning fast. This short story was sweet, steamy and romantic without drama. Just a sweet and safe story. 😍😍😍😍

Continuation of the Reynolds family... nice meet cute for Jake and Krystal. Great in how the connection between them is mutual and electric, with little to wonder how it will turn out. Like how Jake does not try to control, but rather offer support for her independence. Fun epilogue in how their story ends.

Krystal wants to start fending for herself. However, her car has another idea. Jake can’t understand how reluctant Krystal is to get help even if she needed it really bad. Short insta-love story. I liked Jake’s patience. Krystal needs to learn that asking for help is not a bad thing. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
An emotionally deep, fast pace, steamy, entertaining, well-written, and well-developed instalove read. The characters are likeable, sweet, and good together; the chemistry between them is instant and off the charts. Definitely recommended!

I really enjoyed this book. I can’t wait for more by Kali. Krystal is on her way to her job interview when her car breaks down. Jake finds her on the side of the road and takes her to her interview with his cousin. This book was short and sweet. I couldn’t put it down. I definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this straightforward fun romance a lot. Classic white knight scenario, probably one of my guilty pleasures. It felt realistic the way she struggled with accepting help, and his thought process was really great as he worried he was rushing things or pushing her. Definitely a good quick read!
This book is really good. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it's just not long enough. It has so much potential to be a fantastic novel. Maybe one day the author will revisit it and expand. I can only hope.
Krystal's mustang breaks down on a backroad on her way to an interview. Jake breezes by but then circles back to see if he can help.He sees her and knows she will be his forever. Now to just get her to see and feel the same. Sweet end.
As always Kali delivers a great story! This is no other, Krystal is stranded on the side of the road and Jack is her big savior. He’s just the knight in shining armor. Loved it.
