About Jewel
Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.
With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.
After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.
When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.

My Dilemma starts again! Every book Jewel writes becomes my New Favourite. I expect nothing less but a flawless story, hard hitting sentiments and some memorable lines I've never read before. And of course, she never disappoints! This is undoubtedly ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS of this year. So many layers and sublayers make it a virtual treasures of hidden sentiments
Jaw dropping good, intensely gripping story, It leaves my mouth hanging open and all.
Jewel gets very real and very raw with her narrative in this book. The sharp edged characters have hard and abrasive personalities and reading them was chafing at my heart. Thoroughly researched and precisely penned, the story resonates with some and educate others (like me), but one thing is definite, it's going to MOVE US ALL!!
It is a very bold attempt to challenge herself and set a firm foot in the greyer part of her psyche, i guess. Facts, secrets, lies and revelations are all mixed up in a giant couldron of boiling revenge saga.
For me it is like a multisensory experience. Waves of emotions were hitting me from all sides and my heart fluttered like a caged sparrow.The feel is of almost like the calm before the hurricane hits. Electricity is in the air, dark cloudy skies swirling and you can FEEL that something big is gonna go down. Destruction and devastation is imminent. All you can hope and pray for is that you survive along with the characters with some sort of peace and happiness left to piece together.
First chapter gives you a glimpse into the hard life of a burnt, amnesiac victim and a hood rat of a girl, trying to survive in Dirty Jerz. Mere existence is a daily struggle and bartering is a currency she's forced to use
Jersey Six- She's an abandoned girl who is a fighter. Hard as nails demeanour and cast iron heart make her constitution. Not to be messed with, her fists are her words, her knives her sentences.
“I’m nothing…” she whispered “… insignificant … forgettable … no one would miss me if I died. No one would look for me if I were lost. No human has ever cried for me.”
A hot dog stand Meet-Cute with a good looking Rockstar- Ian Cooper and two hearts won't ever be the same again!! He's her virtual Prince Charming, swooping away Cinderella from abjection to a castle in the clouds
“Jersey Six…… I’m going to show you the world.”
**Sigh** if this book didn't have undertones of stark grey, I could see pink hearts and yellow flowers falling from the sky.
But jewel stays true to the colour and doesn't rosy the picture to hide the glaring disparities between their lives.
My heart stirred when they were together, hands held in hope
My heart sank whenever Chris came in and tried to muddy the waters
My heart just stopped when truths got revealed one by one
My heart flatlined when jewel decided she had one more weapon in her story- the ultimate Twist!!
It's a perfect mix of fiction, romance and suspense. It's powerful, introspective, gripping, terse and heartbreaking. As the truths trickle down I was held under the deluge of various truths that jewel has skillfully buried deep in the story
Truths of pain
Truths of secrets
Truths of guilt
Truths buried so deep it mangled the psyche
She wanted the impossible— the Russells still alive, a bigger vocabulary, a college degree, a normal life, relatives, maybe a boxing title, and girly nail polish . Instead … she was well on her way to killing a man who made her cheeks turn pink, going to prison, and dying from lethal injection.
The narration as usual, is STUNNING! The setting is hopelessly naked, you get what you see. No embellishments. There's no unnecessary clutter of trivial details and frilly sentimental lines. It's beautiful because it' s virtuous and forthright.
I'm a very visual reader, in the sense that the scenes, characters and settings come alive in my mind. I saw Characters clad in white against the backdrop plot which was artistic like a graffiti marred wall. Which could be Dirty for some, art for others. It's all a matter of perspective.
The purity of Jersey and Ian's heart shines bright like sun in the clouds. Chris drew my ire, then sympathy and ultimately pity. His pathetic existence was mired in delusions and poisoned by hatred. I didn't know by the end if I would have to ignore him or kill him.
I've read ALL NIGHT, couldn't put it down!!!!!
I'm still thinking about it, hours after I've finished, which goes to show how effectual the story is. It made me a believer in hope, in happy endings and love surmounting all!!
6 stars for Demon Slayer, Dream Builder & Kidney Giver Ian
