Ilustration Supposing Books Black Roses (Jessica Hart #1)
Merely days after her birthday, Jessica Hart has been forced by circumstances beyond her control (attempted murder and homelessness) to move back in with her parents and begin the painful process of rebuilding her life, starting with getting a job.As she endures the rejection of multiple job interviews, and her parents irksome attempts to marry her off to the most eligible bachelors in town (meaning unmarried and able to string simple words together to form a sentence), she feels herself sinking into a deep depression.
To top it all off, it’s been three weeks since she’s heard from the ever elusive Eric Wolf. But, she could swear she saw him the other day at the Gas ‘n’ Go. And, who was that strange man built like a rhino on steroids who followed her around the mall last Tuesday?
Just when Jessica can’t take it anymore, her cousin, Barbie O’Grady, invites her on the vacation of a lifetime to Phuket Island. Her parents tell her not to go. Her brother, Greg, tells her not to go. And, the airport TSAs seem to have banded against her.
Before they know it, the cousins are pursued by strange men, kidnapped, drugged, and stranded in the Jungle by an elephant named Bessie. Now, Jessica and Barbie have questions that need answers before they turn up dead, or worse.

In general, I enjoyed the book. Jessica is an adorable character that I liked best when she was talking to herself. That's not a bad thing. She was a lot of fun to read. The mystery was reasonably intriguing if a little bit predictable. The shenanigans that Jessica found herself in had me chuckling thoughout the story. The biggest problem I had with this book was that it's not my sort of story. It was a little too 'chick-lit', romance,I think Jessica Hart made much of the book as pleasant as it was. The self-conversations she has repeatedly were were funny and unique, giving Black Roses its own kind of thing. The plot lacked some of the luster early on, but made up for it as the novel progressed. Some of the other characters, however, could have been rounded out a lot more as - like Jim stated - they seemed somewhat stereotypical. All in all, subpar.
Black Roses, Jenn Brinks debut novel, had me hooked from the very beginning. I gave it 5 stars because I absolutely loved it! Its phenomenal! for a more complete review check out my book review blog The Book Fairie at http://www.bookfairie.weebly.com
Black Roses isnt the kind of book I usually pick up but I thought Id try something different. I knew I wasnt going to like Jessica Hart. Shes shallow and vain, a real airhead. All the grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures made reading unenjoyable. Misused words are sprinkled throughout the chapters, the first on pg 10 being the word inconspicuous, referring to the shady character hanging around the airport. Jessie says He was inconspicuously out of place, and I couldnt help but
I really really regret buying this book and don't understand high rating it got. It was horrible. The heroine was a trashy stupid bimbo, the writing tried to be funny but was way off the mark, there were so many clichés it hurt. I mean she saw longing in his eyes? Also there were quite a lot of illogical statements like her brother was an undercover agent yet was seen openly speaking with FBI??? I guess I was spoiled by the Heller series so I compare all books with similar themes to it but come
Jenn Brink mastered the chic-lit genre in one book! I can't wait to see what happens with Jessica and Wolf as the series continues!
As I started this book, I thought "Oh I am not sure I can handle a book about a self absorbed woman right now" To my surprise Jessie is not a self absorbed woman! I loved how action started rather quickly in the book. I loved the black roses & oh my, Eric Wolf can come knock at my "fictional door" any day!!!! I am looking so forward to reading book 2 & any other book that Jenn Brink has written or writes. I can safely say I am a fan of Jenn Brinks writing style & will recommend this
