Review: Jonquils for Jax by Katy Regnery
Jonquils for Jax, The Rousseaus #1 by Katy Regnery
Date of Publication: August 5, 2016
Did you fall in love with The English Brothers? Were you hot for the Winslows? Katy Regnery's New York Times bestselling Blueberry Lane series continues with The Rousseau siblings in Summer 2016!
Jacqueline "Jax" Rousseau is vivacious, rich, smart and beautiful…but that doesn't mean she's lucky in love: she's dated doctors, lawyers, actors and politicians who've all managed to end up disappointing her. In fact, she's on a self-imposed hiatus from love when she has an unpleasant run-in with her neighbor's gorgeous new landscaper, Gardener Lenox. Jax is not accustomed to gruff, ill-mannered men that can't be charmed, but when he saves her skin, she realizes that something about Gard intrigues her...and if she can find her way through the armor that surrounds his heart, she might finally find a love that won't let her down.

Laura's Review:
Katy Regnery has quickly become a go-to for consistently good romances. Not overly complicated, her stories are perfect when you just need a quick getaway from life. Jonquils for Jax is the first in a spin-off series, The Rousseaus - a new family, with some of the same favorites we saw in two of her previous series. I loved Gard, he was perfect hero who didn't wallow in his imperfections. Based on her awful mother, Jax could have become a spoiled, stuck-up snob - but instead turned into a perfectly lovely human being. Overall, the romance felt a bit rushed and I would have liked a little more conflict to build up the end, but overall a great start to a new series. Cannot wait to read Mad and JC's stories!
Jonquils for Jax: 4/5 stars
