Jade Jones discovered her passion for creative writing in elementary school. Born in 1989, she began writing short stories and poetry as an outlet. Later on, as a teen, she led a troubled life which later resulted in her becoming a ward of the court. Jade fell in love with the art and used storytelling as a means of venting during her tumultuous times.
Aging out of the system two years later, she was thrust into the dismal world of homelessness. Desperate, and with limited income, Jade began dancing full time at the tender age of eighteen. It wasn't until Fall of 2008 when she finally caught her break after being accepted into Cleveland State University. There, Jade lived on campus and majored in Film and Television. Now, six years later, she flourishes from her childhood dream of becoming a bestselling author. Since then she has written the best-selling "Cameron" series.
Quite suitably, she uses her life's experiences to create captivating characters and story lines. Jade currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. With no children, she spends her leisure shopping and traveling. She says that seeing new faces, meeting new people, and experiencing diverse cultures fuels her creativity. The stories are generated in her heart, the craft is practiced in her mind, and she expresses her passion through ink.
I love these characters and their story. This is a good read with a little craziness a little drama and a little love. I was so glad that baby daddy came to his senses and put his baby mama interest first
This storyline was so cute and interesting with wonderful character development. I enjoyed and recommend this five star read. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Title: Head Over Heels For A Chi-Town Heavy Author: Jade Jones Publisher: Jade Publications Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: "Head Over Heels For A Chi-Town Heavy" by Jade Jones
My Opinion:
'Head Over Heels For A Chi-Town Heavy' was a good read where there was sadness that came, and even some karma but all in all, this author does what she does best and that giving the reader a story that will leave one thinking about it long after the read. Like what would have happened if Kira and Aspen had settled their disagreement, Heavy[Henrix] sharing with Aspen about his accident, that Stoney, well, he did get what was coming for him, and then there was Wesley, Blaise, and even Kent. Oh, well, this story was quite a moving one where bad things did happen to good people.
All that's left to say is you will have to pick up this story to see how each person turned out on this rollercoaster and suspenseful read.
Once Aspen revealed why her and Blaise relationship ended. I understood why she was closed off from love. Blaise did her dirty. Aspen was trying to move on but Blaise dealing with Ciara messy ass wasn't making it easy. Ciara deserved for Aspen to go upside her head and Melanie deserved it too. Heavy was smitten with Aspen. He showed Aspen how to be loved properly. Kira desperation for a man had her putting up with Stoney abusive and disrespectful ways. Stoney was a snake. He didn't give a damn about nobody but himself. I wasn't surprised by his secret obsession with Aspen or the fact that Kira shady ass didn't believe Aspen when she told her what Stoney tried to do. Kira was lowkey throwing shade at Aspen and I felt she was jealous.Karma came for Stoney.
Aspen and Heavy were definitely made for each other I loved how they both had gone through heartbreak but were able to open themselves up to love again. I hate what happened to Kira and Wesley especially after they had found each other again. That damn Stoney was crazy as hell I am so glad he got his karma I just hate it was not before other people lost their lives.. I am so happy that Blaise was mature enough to realize that Aspen deserved to be happy after all she had gone through in their relationship hopefully he finds the one for him.. Job well done I enjoyed.,
This standalone was good from beginning to end and I couldn't put it down. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. Held my attention and it flowed really well. Aspen, was trying to heal her brokenheart. Then she meets Heavy, they're both healing and take a chance on love. Kira, really got on my nerves about trifling Shoney. He was abusive, disrespectful and most of all a selfish snake. But karma took care of him. So loved the way everything turned out. Highly recommend this standalone. Great job Jade Jones.
Hendrix chose love over the street life. Him and Aspen made it through even when he pushed her away. Blaise manned up and looked at the bigger picture. Stoney definitely got what he deserved. I hate Kira and We never got their second chance. Once another great story with a beautiful ending Jade, keep up the good work.
Good story line.. I had to remove a star only because of the numerous song lyrics (I always skip those in books) and also felt the ending was rushed. The beginning of story was so detailed yet the end was dry. Like I said story line was bomb wished I could have gotten more...
Loved the friendship between Aspen and Kira . Heavy is the man, even though he should of kept in contact with As pen about his accident. Stoney was a grade A punk, and karma came looking for him.Hated the way it ended, Aspen and Kira should of made up before it was too late.
Not bad, glad that heavy & blouse worked it out like men
I really hate that stones killed Kids just when she was getting married. In the same fashion Stone lost his life at that moment he realized he didn't get away with anything. As pen & Heavy found their true love and marriage is on the horizon. Good story, good ending
65% for any of these adults (whom are to be bosses to act like 1) 78% for the main characters of the story to do something together in the way of the story and back to falling off at 85%. This story made no real sense and and it was filled with so much not needed details that I almost said oh well and just dop reading.
Heavy saw Aspen in the club and was gone make sure to lock it down with her some how some way. BUT a lame stopped what could have been for a brief moment. It was good to see Heavy and Aspen reconnect but not in the best way that was for Heavy. It’s crazy how long it took for Heavy and Blaise a while to “meet.” Overall it was a great book!
This is my first read by this author, this story was ok, it was missing more pieces to the story. I needed more from heavy and aspen. Blaise just kicked ciara to the curb and that was it? Needed more of heavy bad boy side. Kira, wesley, stoney really. I just felt like this book needed more. Grv honest review.
I loved it!!! Heavy and Aspen love story was unconventional but just it was just right for them. Hated that Kira didn’t believe her friend and hated what happened. Great story!!!
This was my first time reading this new writer in the book was amazing I love the writing and I love the structure of the reading of the book which is an all-fire book.
This was a good read I love their relationship and it definitely felt like love at first sight and the way she saw him even after the accident even though it had been months was beautiful they both helped each other
Good read! Yes life tell us all the time when your heart keep chastising u to forgive and call your friend u dhould dB do exactly that! U never know when death comes and u don't get a chance to say I'm sorry! 5 stars book! IJS
It was a read for a book club. Really quick and fast paced, almost too fast in certain situations. I assume by the way it ended there will be a sequel. Not too sure if I will read it but may consider.
Damn that’s messed up with what happened to Kira but Stoney got his karma though! I’m so glad Heavy and Blaise put their differences to the side for Aspen because that would of been messed up if he went to jail!! Jade really did her thing on this stand-alone
Stoney is the worst kinda of guy to date. He is so horrible to Kira and doesn't understand how he's wrong🙄. Heavy🥰 that's bae! I like a romantic thug and so does Aspen😁
