One word that could describe this book is... HOT!

This is definitely not for the "young adult" category, as it vividly describes intimate scenes. It may not be profound or filled with surprising twists and turns. However, it was quite enjoyable and definitely falls under the category of guilty pleasure!

If I may say so myself, it's like a dark chocolate of contemporary novels.

There are only two books in this series, and it's a bit saddening to learn that the other two books haven't been written due to the author's change in publishers. Here's what she mentioned about it on her website:

\\n  \\n    Will you write a story for Caroline and Allison from YOU DON’T KNOW JACK and THE PREGNANCY TEST?\\n  \\n

\\n  The short answer is no, not right now. The reason for that is a bit of an explanation, but the original two books were written for one publisher. I now write for another publisher, and due to very complicated legal reasons that make my head spin, the books can't be written right now. Hopefully some day! I had great stories planned for the remaining two NY Girlfriends.\\n

It's a real shame. It's quite intriguing to think about what Beckwith, the cross-dressing psychic, will come up with next for the other two NY girlfriends. We all hope she'll eventually get to write those stories.

I have a deep affection for Erin McCarthy. In fact, I likely would have bestowed five stars upon this book had there been a modicum more tension and a slightly more developed plot. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I truly adored the characters. Each one was distinct and engaging, drawing me further into the story.

The dialogue was another aspect that I found highly enjoyable. It was not only fun but also delightfully quirky, adding a unique charm to the narrative. It had a way of making the interactions between the characters feel fresh and lively.

Overall, while the book may not have been perfect in terms of tension and plot development, it still managed to capture my attention and hold my interest through its wonderful characters and engaging dialogue. I would definitely recommend it to fans of Erin McCarthy or those looking for an entertaining read with a touch of quirkiness.

Contemporary romance with protected sex is a genre that has gained significant popularity in recent years.

This particular story is a favorite reread of mine. It belongs to the early works of EM in the romance genre.

The main characters, Jack and Jamie, make a great couple. Jack is almost too good to be true, which is one of the appealing aspects of romance novels. It gives the readers a sense of hope that an average girl like Jamie can attract a handsome, rich, and nice guy like Jack.

The story likely unfolds with their relationship developing, facing various challenges and obstacles along the way. The use of protected sex in the story adds a layer of realism and responsibility.

Overall, it's a delightful read that allows you to escape into a world of love and romance. I highly recommend it to all romance enthusiasts. Enjoy!

The original article seems to be rather brief. It only consists of a few elements such as "Rewrite the article and expand it to 300 words, using English", along with some star ratings and a bolded "3 stars".

To expand it, we could describe the importance of rewriting and expanding an article. For example, it helps to clarify the message, provide more details, and engage the reader better. When using English, it allows for a wider audience to access and understand the content.

The star ratings and the bolded "3 stars" could potentially be used to rate the quality of the rewritten article or the overall task. However, without further context, it's difficult to determine their exact significance.

In conclusion, by rewriting and expanding the article, we can enhance its value and make it more useful and interesting for the readers. The star ratings can add an element of evaluation and feedback, although their meaning should be clearly defined.

⭐️⭐️⭐️3 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

I completely concur with the other reviews. There is a certain aspect that I just can't fathom. Why on earth couldn't they be together? It seems rather puzzling.

Moreover, I truly don't understand how they could spend an entire day in bed after merely chatting for a few hours. It was indeed rather steamy, but at the same time, it felt somewhat strange.

Nevertheless, aside from these two points, it was actually a really adorable story. It had its own charm and appeal. The characters were likable, and the overall plot was engaging.

Despite the few elements that left me scratching my head, I still found myself enjoying the story for the most part. It had that certain something that kept me hooked until the very end.

The book is truly very fantastic.

It takes the reader on an extraordinary journey filled with captivating stories, vivid characters, and breathtaking adventures.

From the moment you open its pages, you are instantly drawn into a world that is both enchanting and engaging.

The author's writing style is masterful, painting a vivid picture in your mind and making you feel as if you are right there with the characters.

Whether you are a fan of fiction or non-fiction, this book has something for everyone.

It will keep you on the edge of your seat, turning the pages eagerly to find out what happens next.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read and wants to experience a truly remarkable literary work.

It is a must-read that will leave you with a lasting impression and a desire to pick it up again and again.

Awww, Jamie and Jack were truly adorable.

☆ 3.5/5 | ❤️‍

Jack, a millionaire, secretly observes Jamie in every activity. Initially, it is to investigate whether Jamie is involved in the embezzlement of donated funds from the social enterprise where Jamie works. Jack, a former financial analyst, replaces his grandfather to hold the position of leader of the Hathway Foundation. It all starts when Beekwood Social (oh, I forgot its full name) where Jamie works asks for a donation from the Hathway Foundation. From there, Jack discovers that there is an employee at Beckwood who misuses or, more precisely, borrows the donated funds to play the stock market. Jack, who is secretly investigating Jamie, finds himself attracted to Jamie (coincidentally, Jamie is the friend and roommate of Caroline, his sister).

Jamie, who is predicted by her crazy friend, Beckwith (after reading for a long time, I just realized that her friend is a bit nuts :p), that soon in her life, she will meet a man who will change her life to be happy. Jamie, who is so enthusiastic and believes in such things, can't wait to meet him. Here, Beckwith even describes that they will meet on the subway train where the man is carrying food.

So, when Jack follows Jamie to the train and then waits for her inside the train (Jack already knows Jamie's destination train), while carrying a package of pasta for a visit to his grandfather's place. Jamie, who is still standing outside the train door, suddenly receives a call from Beckwith. Beckwith immediately hysterically says, "This is the moment! The man you've been waiting for in your life will soon appear in front of you." Jamie, who is confused, realizes that the train door will soon close and leave. And finally, in a hurry, she gets on and tries to jump through it. She almost hits a big, muscular, tattooed, half-naked man. Jack, who has been sitting inside the train, is already worried that Jamie will miss the train. Seeing that Jamie is about to hit the scary man, Jack immediately intervenes. As a result, the pasta that Jack is carrying is squeezed and spills on his shirt. Jamie apologizes, and from there, their relationship develops.

Jack's liking for Jamie grows because Jamie doesn't judge him based on his thick wallet, and Jamie considers Jack as the man of her destiny. Finally, lie after lie is continuously told by Jack so that Jamie won't hate him. Jack knows that Jamie is indeed a different woman and doesn't like rich men. Especially since Jamie hates Jonathan Davidson (Jack's real name) who has rejected the donation proposal she made.

But don't worry, his lies won't last long, and again, the story is not too thrilling, simple, sweet, and impressive. Oh yes, this book is also a bit sexy. After all, Erin McCarthy's writing is typically like this. But in terms of the story, it's not disappointing.

I must admit that I had a greater preference for The Pregnancy Test. In my opinion, that particular book boasted a more engaging and intricate plot compared to this one. Nevertheless, You Don't Know Jack was still a worthy read, and I thoroughly enjoyed delving deeper into the lives of these four friends - Mandy, Jamie, Allison, and Caroline. Jack's grandfather was an absolute delight, and his antics had me roaring with laughter out loud on numerous occasions.

However, I did have a few reservations about this book. I couldn't help but feel that the story was somewhat rushed. The entire narrative unfolds within a mere two-week time frame. While I don't necessarily mind the idea of falling in love and proposing within such a short span (after all, it is a work of fiction), it did leave me with the sense that there were many loose ends that remained unresolved. What about Beckwith's vision regarding Caroline and her new husband? What becomes of Allison and Finn? And what about the job offer that Jack received from his ex, Meredith? Additionally, will Jack and Jamie ever tie the knot?

I'm aware that the author had initially planned to create a series, with each roommate having her own dedicated book. However, I read on her website that due to a change in her publisher, she has decided to conclude the series with this book. This is truly a pity because, as I mentioned earlier, I was really looking forward to seeing how some of these loose ends would be neatly tied up with a big, fat bow.

This one is yet another enjoyable and light-hearted funny read.

Jack, the protagonist, is extremely funny. He is that bumbling guy who appears to take in strays left and right. His actions and antics bring a lot of laughter and entertainment.

If you are in search of a light and fun read, this is indeed a good choice. It has the ability to make you smile and forget your worries for a while. However, it is also one of those books that you might easily forget once you have finished reading it.

Nonetheless, for a quick and enjoyable escape, it serves its purpose well. It provides a momentary break from the seriousness of life and offers a bit of light-hearted fun.

So, if you are in the mood for a simple and entertaining read, give this one a try. You might just have a good time.

I am truly such an ardent fan of this author.

The author has an amazing ability to spin tales that are not only full of intense chemistry but also have the power to make me burst into laughter.

This particular book is a real gem. In it, nothing is precisely as it initially seems. It requires you to dig deeper, to look beyond the surface, and to uncover the hidden layers and mysteries.

I was so captivated by this book that I am certain I will read it again.

Each time I pick it up, I believe I will discover something new and be equally entertained and intrigued.

It's one of those rare books that leaves a lasting impression and keeps drawing you back for more.

I can't wait to embark on this literary journey once again.

Overall rating: 5 "Hard-on Girl" stars!

Triggers:

Cheating: No

Love triangle: No

Sex with om/ow: No

Intimate pasts: Hero (Jack aka Jonathan) - not a manwhore. Had relationships only. The last time he was with a woman was I am assuming months ago before he broke up with his GF at the firm he used to work for. He overheard her saying that the best thing about him was his money. Poor Jack :( ; Heroine (Jamie) - it's been several months for her as well. She also only had sex with men she was in relationships with even though she had a bad track record of guys using her. Poor Jamie :(

HEA: Yes! I would, of course, have liked more.

My review:

I really enjoyed The Pregnancy Test, but this book took my enjoyment to a whole new level. I was completely unprepared for how steamy it was. At one point, I had to put the book down because it was so hot. But I'm not complaining!

In this story, Jack, Caroline's brother, is a millionaire who recently retired from a successful investment firm at 30. His grandfather's stroke led him to step in with the family business and he's also on the board of a charity organization. He denies Jamie's special project at her job as a social worker because he suspects fraud. He then stalks her for weeks until she runs into him. One look at her and he's smitten.

Jamie has had bad luck with men who use her and move on. But when she runs into Jack on the train, she has Beckwith's prediction of meeting the man of her dreams on her mind. I loved how Jack was instantly smitten and not a manwhore. It was a refreshing change.

The plot was great and I loved how Jack wouldn't let Jamie push him away. The sexual tension was palpable and the book was also really funny. I just loved everything about it!

Favorite Quotes:

"Spaghetti. It got shoved against me by this woman on the subway."

Pops narrowed his eyes as his gaze dropped. "You've got a hard-on Jack."

Though shocked at his grandfather's words, Jack took a quick glance down. "Jesus, you're right." Just the thought of Jamie leaning against him was having an immediate and painful reaction. Or maybe he had been like this from the very second she had collided with him.

"Spaghetti always does that to me, too."

  LMAO See what I mean?!

He would love her, damn it, and she'd learn to like it.

"To me you're Venus, a gorgeous, awe-inspiring goddess. And I'm going to love you, Jamie. I'm going to talk to you, make love to you, be there with a ride when you get caught in a thunderstorm. Do you understand me?"
