J. D. Hawkins (2)

There are many things about Insatiable that I loved ... Jax being my number one. He's arrogant and cocky, but he has every reason to be. He's good looking, is mega successful, and has moves that would make my grandma swoon. I kid. The guy could knock your panties off with just a hot breath on your shoulder and you'd have no idea WTF just hit you or where the hell your undies disappeared to. Best of all, he's a decent guy. He's not a game player, you know what you're getting. He's respectful, even if he does screw a lot. He's not going to make you a promise and leave you hanging. He's a ladies man, with no intention of settling down, but he's not a douche.


Lizzie is sweet. She has no idea that she's a sex kitten waiting to be unleashed. I loved that she took her red hot encounter with Jax and decided to remake herself. She knew what she felt with him was something she wanted to feel with any man. It's what's she been missing with her douchey ex boyfriend, Brody the wet blanket. While she did show some shyness and self-doubt, they didn't last long once Jax got a hold of her.

I appreciated that Lizzie grew sexually, and that Jax grew emotionally throughout this first part of Insatiable. I loved that neither of them fought their connection, they just went with it. I loved the witty banter between the two of them and how comfortable they felt with each other. Jax showed his true colors when he didn't hesitate to come to her rescue when he saw she needed it. Best of all.. this arrangement between Jax and Lizzie just felt right. Their dialogue felt natural, the way their relationship progressed felt like I was watching a real couple without even knowing it. I didn't question the why, I was too sucked into the story and their connection.

I absolutely adored the friendship Jax has with his best friend, Luce. She's a firecracker and I loved that she didn't let Jax get away with anything. She tells him just how it is, and he respects her enough to allow it. She keeps him grounded... and with an ego as big as Jax's, he needs that.

I can't begin to tell you how much I am DYING to read Insatiable 2. Because that ending... Yeah. I didn't see it coming, which shocks me. I need more, JD Hawkins!… (mais)

Let me say- Like Emma Chase, like Penny Reid? You'll like J.D. Hawkins. He's not as snarky as the ladies, but dialog will split a huge grin on your face. ( and I mean snarky as a good thing) The internal dialog you read that Jax and Lizzie put out? Yes, I really understood and connected with the characters. My next favor thing is how the ending evolved.(Yes, it sucks it's cliffhangerish) but watching our hero go from selfish boy to {gasp} grown up boy with {gasp} feelings was great to read. He didn't suddenly, abruptly change. Nope, you got a great view into this character's growth. That sucked me in- great story telling. And yes, to address the negative reviews, you've 'heard' the story that's why we pick this genre- however, this writing was just fabulous!!!… (mais)

Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 ends and gives us all an conclusion without the long wait time. I understand and somewhat agree with other reviewers. This part was a bit disappointing as we didn't get the level of humor and sexiness of the first part. However, the story was moved in a hopeful direction where our playboy learns the lesson of "I just want her happy". I only gave it minus one star due to POV. I have nothing against a dual or female POV. But I wanted more of Jax. Since this is a male author, I was hoping for more of a POV that was male driven.

I do like his writing style and pace. I will try more of his books in the future as this debut as a whole was wonderful.… (mais)
