When I was little, my mom was part of the Double Day book club. She had piles and piles of books lying around the house; most of them with Fabio-esque men and a scantily clad woman set in a different century. I made up stories in my head just from looking at the covers.

When I as 9, I wrote stories using my best friend as a muse. They were romances...but for the 9-year-old. She was the only one who read them.

"A feel good book that will make you laugh at some scenes and at the same time feel the angst between two people who certainly have feeling for each other but can't seem to let go of what happened in the past. If you’re in the mood for some rom-com read, I highly recommend this one!" - MYLA, Goodreads Review

Jeannine Colette liked Taramccormick's review of Wrecked: "This might be my favorite from Jeannine. I couldn't put it down. We met Leah in a previous book, and I loved reading her story. I got everything I wanted from this book. Can't wait to see what's next! "

Quotes by Jeannine Colette

“God, I love spending time with you.” His smile eases me. “Don’t get mad at me, but I’m going to say something and I have no apologies for saying it.” I raise my eyebrows in curiosity. “You look fucking hot in that bikini.”
― Jeannine Colette, Pure Abandon

“I try to fight it… I try to resist it… I try… I try… I fail. With pure abandon, my lips answer his with equal earnest. My body follows suit, pressing my weight back into his. Not in my wildest dreams did his mouth taste as sinful as it does right now. All inhibitions are lost. My soul is his for the taking.”
― Jeannine Colette, Pure Abandon

Jeannine’s Quotes

“There is a whole community out there who loves love, who loves romance, and I’m one of them. It’s a world I love living in, where there are happily ever afters, the odd girl gets the good looking guy, and where chivalry isn’t lost. I know it can’t all be true, that life isn’t as grand as some novels make it out to be, but I still love every single story because it’s an escape from reality, a moment in time where you can daydream of the impossible, where there is a chance of watching true love unfold right in front of you.”
― Meghan Quinn, The Virgin Romance Novelist

“You were always there... until you weren't anymore. Losing you taught me not to count on anyone but myself. It shaped who am I today... and that's not necessarily a good thing.”
― Penelope Ward, RoomHate
