Spiced Right

By: Gigi Templeton

Narrated by: Aiden Snow, Amanda Stribling

Jillian Parks doesn’t need her hybrid scorpion pepper to set her pulse racing. Wildly charismatic rancher Jack Reed does that all on his own in this scorcher from Gigi Templeton.

Don’t ever think I didn’t want more time with you, darlin’.

Those were her college boyfriend’s last words to her after a phone call summoned him home to Texas. In the ten years since, Jack Reed has taken over his family’s ranch, and Jillian Parks has experienced devastating losses with traumatic repercussions.

Now a reclusive insomniac, she podcasts about the specialty hybrid chili peppers she grows in her Seattle greenhouse, keeping a closed door between her and the past. But when Jillian’s producer coaxes her to make a surprise call in to Jack’s YouTube BBQ channel, their chemistry still sizzles!

An invite to the ranch for a follow-up collab is a scary proposal for Jillian. But forward movement is key to her recovery, and it’s time to take the bull by the horns. With Jack’s commanding yet soothing presence, maybe this charismatic cowboy is just the right ingredient to help her heal—while adding a different kind of spice to her life.

Jack & Jillian (triggers: PTSD). This was a sweet, fun and extremely spicy story. It's a second chance romance that will have you on the edge of your seats wondering what will happen next. Jillian is pretty much reclusive and very much different from the way Jack remembered her from college. Jack is now the head of his family's ranch after his father's passing. To make more money, both of them are utilizing social media. So when she does a guest appearance on his show and the sparks fly, he decides to invite her to come to the ranch and appear in person. Only in person, it's not just sparks it's like someone set the fireworks stand on fire. Boom 💥💥💥💥💥💥. Loved it. Wished there was an epilogue though. Also the names of the family members threw me off. The women had masculine names like, Wyatt and Brett and one of the boys' names was Allie. It was a bit weird and confused me a few times. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Spicy and romantic

I didn’t think I would enjoy this book so much. It made me feel so happy for them in the end. I love how they had such a beautiful backstory and messy baggage. But still came together. Made me tear lol

The masculine voice is Soooooo Sexy!

This is a quirky yet beautiful romance novel. My mouth was salivating the entire novel, with the description of the foods. If you are a Foodie you will love the recepies.
