Meant to Be (Heaven Hill #1)
Out of Darkness (Heaven Hill #2)
Losing Control (Heaven Hill #3)
Worth the Battle (Heaven Hill, #4)
Dirty Little Secret (Heaven Hill, #5)
Second Chance Love (Heaven Hill #6)

This is more of Bianca and Jagger’s story. She is a full-time teacher, and he is still working in the shop. But they are building a strong relationship every day. That is until she thinks he is blowing her off and coming home later and later. She follows him but does not get all the answers to her questions. He was working a lot to be able to give her something. Will she be happy when he lets her in on all the secrets?

I recommend this book.

This is about Jagger and Bianca. This is the first year Bianca is a high school teacher. Summertime and Bianca was looking forward to spending time with Jagger. Jagger has been coming home really late and keeping things from Bianca. Doubts and worry are causing her to second guess if she is enough for him.

They still aren’t my favourite couple but I think I enjoyed this novella more than their actual book.

[Gale Albright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rough Patch (Heaven Hill #6.5)
By: Laramie Briscoe
4/5 stars


*I read this novella as part of the Blue Colla Make Ya Holla Anthology.*

Jagger Stone & Bianca Hawks are both settled into their lives, Bianca as a high school teacher and Jagger as a mechanic and as a part of the Heaven Hill MC. As with all relationships there are ups and downs, and sometimes couples make it out on the other side better for the ride and some couples don’t make it through the rough patch at all.

Bianca doesn’t have the highest self-confidence and does worry about Jagger’s fan club (from when he used to sing at Wet Wanda’s strip club) and the temptation that those loose women present. Add in the fact that his job with the club has been keeping him out late at night, when the other men aren’t working late. At first some of the issues were that they were both so busy since Bianca was still teaching school, but after summer begins and there still isn’t any extra alone time for each other, their relationship suffers.

Bianca and Jagger learn that communication is key and so is a physical connection, in order to keep a healthy, strong relationship. I enjoyed this novella, as it does show that even after a couple gets their HEA, they still have a very real relationship that they have to work through. And that relationships do take work and maintenance by both people involved.

This is book 6.5 in the series and they should be read in order. This book is only about 50 pages or so and is about Jagger and Bianca. Bianca and Jagger have not been able to spend a lot of time together lately. Now that school is done for the year Bianca has plans to make this summer fun for both of them but things don’t go according to her plans. Jagger seems put out and he has been coming home later than normal. Bianca is begging to worry that maybe he doesn’t want to be with her anymore. Is she right or is Jagger just working to surprise her with something? I was getting really frustrated with Jagger. Sure they both said somethings that weren’t nice but he was being a total ass to her. But he redeemed himself in a big way. It was great to get to read more about this couple in this short book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series and already have ready and waiting for me. I am loving this series and Laramie Briscoe.
I was given this book in return for an honest review.

[Dana Busenbark · Rating 5 out of 5]

We get to read a lovely short Novella about Jagger and Bianca. What has Jagger been doing for the last few weeks at least? Why is Bianca starting to question their relationship? What has Jagger coming home at no earlier than midnight most nights of the week? What does Bianca think is going on? When she calls Jagger's sister for help about what she's thinking and what she wants to do, what is the response? What do the two ladies do on that final night? What do they figure out? What does Jagger do the next day? This book does end with an HEA, and yet you can still feel the pain that Bianca feels with the wording that Laramie Briscoe has used. What is going on is sweet, and shows Jagger's love for Bianca.

RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M.Brennan.

Bianca and Jagger have had no time for each other. Bianca is working at the high school, and Jagger has been working so much at the shop B almost doesn't see him at all every day. She shows up at the shop one day to find Jagger has groupies watching him work. She doesn't like them one bit, but she doesn't know what Jagger is doing since he barely comes home every day. She thinks he's cheating on her, but she's not sure. She wants to trust him so badly, but doesn't know if she can since he's never home, and the other members of the club are. Is he cheating on her? What is he really doing? Find out this and more in this awesome read!!!

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

B and Jagger are back! But, oh no! Cheating? It can't be! I thought my Jagger was going to break my heart along with B's. I enjoyed this quick read about them. Their book, Losing control, was a 4 star read but this just bumped them up. This series is eating any free time I have and I'm loving it. I especially like that I don't have to wait in between installments. I have them all at my finger tips literally.

I'm off to catch up with Tyler and Meredith now.

[Books Laid Bare · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sneaky little novella that showed the trap that many couples fall into, the comfortable oblivion. Bianca and Jagger are like ships in the night, they are barely even able to see each other anymore, not because they don’t want to but time and life have them pulling in opposite directions.
Worry, doubt and superstition has them heading to a dangerous place but a relationship is built on nothing if you don’t have trust and can this pair find their trust again?
This was super smart little read.

[Kim · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a nice update/continuation to Jagger and Bianca's story. I have to admit a few times I wanted to slap both of them, mostly Bianca she annoyed me in this one being to mistrusting but I kind of got where she was coming from...she still irritated me though. It was short but sweet and the ending made up for all the frustrations that built up to the ending of this one.

[Aurora Batty · Rating 3 out of 5]

As a novella this was a nice story that fits in the timeline between books 6 and 7. This is more of Jagger and B's story. For a while you are led to believe the worst of Jagger. Is he cheating? Not if you know how to read a romance novel! Eventually you get to see them happily engaged, of coarse! And happily ever after, until Twitter next story? We'll see...

Review by: Jennifer
(4 stars)

This was a novella that takes us back to Jagger and Bianca. As with most relationships, work and being tired get in the way, and both parties are feeling lonely and for Bianca feeling like something is wrong.... How do they get it back? Or is it to late? I gave this 4 stars.

[Merle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very brief novella of the Heaven Hill series, which advances it and updates you on two characters. Truth and secrecy play a role, but with a happy ending.
(Included in the "Blue Collar, Make You Holla" anthology)

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bianca thought she was losing Jagger .. They lost the spark they once shared ,
Jagger hated keeping things from Bianca but he didn't want her to know what he had planned ..
Can Jagger and Bianca get through this without breaking their hearts ?
This is a very short read but good

[Caro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bianca and Jagger....trouble in paradise?

Take a look into their 'rough patch' and see the everyday struggles......do they have what it takes to get through it? And bloody hell, bask in the glory of Jagger's lushness!

Great little novella!

[Reflections of a Book Geek · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a novella about Bianca and Jagger, this was a pretty quick read that had me hooked. I loved getting another glimpse into B and Jagger's relationship even if it wasn't all plain sailing!

This shows us the trails sometimes faced with couples and how in love this couple actually are.
