If It Don't Hurt It Aint Love by Junnita Jackson tells three stories of love. First is Kat and Dante's story of what, I guess, one could call love, but if you let Kat explain the relationship she'd call it a business arrangement. He's rich, she's glamorous...what better mix could the world ask for? Dante is happy and waiting anxiously for the day to make Kat his wife, but what he hasn't been introduced to yet is her insatiable appetite for a new man (or woman for that matter) per day! Her promis More...

I received this book as a first read. This book was a little harsh to start off we meet the first character as she is in the middle of being pleasured by her fiance with her lovers in the closet watching. I wasn't totally sure I would make it through this book and after the "trifling" of the women it picked up the pace. This book starts with 3 friends and the problems in their lives whether it be kids, men (or lack of) and jobs. It takes a little getting used to the way the author More...

I won this book through First Reads. I was pretty surprised with the graphic nature of the opening chapter. There were more graphic scenes throughout the book, which seemed unnecessary and didn't add anything to the story. The characters lacked depth and personality. Their voices were indistinguishable from one another. I didn't connect with any of them and didn't much care what happened to them. I thought the writing style could use some polish. The book might have benefitted from being longer, More...

I received this book through a goodreads giveaway. The frist sentence grabs your attention and doesn't let go. The characters are developed in such a way that you can relate drawing you further into their lives, and the surrounding drama. At the end you're left wanting more.

I loved this book. I couldn't put it down! I want to read the next two already!
This book is very fast pace and keeps your attention from page 1. Junnita's writing style reminds me of Zane so you know that's good!
I can't wait to read more books from Junnita!

I really enjoyed reading this book from the beginning. There wasn't one character in this book that didn't have something going on in their lives. I can't wait to find out what happens next!!!

This was a book I got as a goodreads giveaway. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish reading it. The opening is a bit shocking. That said, when I actually sat down and started reading it I was done in 2 days. I'm looking forward to reading the next books.

The author asked me to give this book a chance. I did, but I was very disappointed. The book starts out as a really bad porno movie and never gets better. The characters are never fully explained, except for the fact they all have sex. But it's not romantic sex, it just... well, think bad porno movie - like I said. The storyline never develops and left me somewhat confused. Honestly, I threw this book in the recycle bin. I would never share this book with friends or family. I would be t More...

Just finished reading "If don't hurt it ain't love..." Talk about Drama! That Kat was a trip and Dana was a straight nut. You did a great job delivering a steamy, drama filled, with a hint of paranormal Novel Good Job!

There's definitely room for improvement. I tried to keep reading and give the new author a chance but I couldn't help but stop reading it.

If it isn't love is a trying tale of love and life. In all honesty I loved the book which is why I gave it four stars. The only reason I didn't give it the fifth star is because I would've liked a more detailed description of the character's looks. Everything else about the book was really great and creative! From the beginning it grabbed my attention and held it until the very last page. I would definitely recommend this book to someone else to read. In the future I can't wait to read more from More...
