She was on a date, a not so good date. He kept looking at his watch and checking his cell phone and looking at other women and not paid much attention to her. This date was as bad as all the others, 16 in 5 years and now she was done dating it was no use she just wasnt pretty enough and she had been told this all her life. Any where she went it never worked, friends setting her up, weddings, dating apps, bumping into someone, ad even the best man would say hope shes not the maid of honor. She was not only plain but boring. So she ended the date told him to go have fun and started walking home. So engrossed in her thoughts she didnt realize she was being followed until she was grabbed shoved into an ally and he was beating her to try and rape her but she fought back so hard he kept hitting her and all of a sudden everything went black. Braxton was taking care of regular business when he heard her scream and screams didnt bother him especially when he was taking care of his kills and they asked for mercy, he was for sale. But this scream had him couriousand he didnt understand why. It was maybe the fear in her scream. He usually didnt care but if she was an innocent her would intervine because he only hurt the guilty. He worked for a bounty. He took her to his warehouse and when she woke and he questioned her he walked into the light and when she saw him said Thank You. He asked if she were going to scream she was confused, yes he had scars on his face but he had saved her. They both thought teir appearrance was unpleasant but they both didnt know why the other thought that about themselves. Beatuy is in the eye of the beholder and in yourself. He took her home and it had been several weeks and she still couldnt get him out of her mind. Even thought she walked home everyday it was fast and hand on her pepper spray and by the time she got home she was exausted from fright and worry.

Between the antihero and the self proclaimed plain girl there was nothing inspiring about either character AT FIRST!! Then of course Mr Tall Dark and Mysterious saves Jade, and from there the whole story becomes much more interesting. While the couple in no way experiences a typical love story they do get their HEA in the end. I kind of like the unexpected way this book started and continued.

But just maybe they were meant for more, to be more for each other! Sam Crescent has a way of bringing together improbable people, and letting readers peek under their skin to make us see that the antihero of the story might not really be a bad guy, no matter his looks or occupation, and that the somewhat drab, quiet heroine may be more than she appears. This is a well told story of 2 halves making a whole, and finding MORE with each other rather than alone.","date":"1st May 2025"},{"name":"RhondaVB","rating":"4","title":"Loved it","text":"When Braxton saves Jade from being attacked, he tries to forget her because he is a very bad man.

She's been downtrodden, hurt, and made to feel ugly. It's lucky for her that fate took the hand of placing her in the hands of Braxton. Braxton is equally jaded, his face had taken some serious punishment and now this not-so-plain Jade is something he can't get out of his head. It is a short, very intricate love story.

Failed dates and being invisible was all her life. When she is almost abducted and is assaulted a dark stranger is her savior. Braxton doesn’t see anything good in the world. There are always those trying to take from others. He is muscle for hire. When he hears a woman's scream he knows something is not right. Saving Jade was just a one time thing. But something about her draws him in. She isn’t plain to him and she doesn’t fear the man with scars. I love when we have just ordinary people that think they are nothing special but in fact are. Honestly, being invisible to others is a blessing. Granted Jade almost really got assaulted worse. Thank goodness Braxton was around. He sees her as a rare gem and that is how every woman she be. Jade defiantly isn’t plain. She is perfect. He isn't such a bad man. And when you read about his past, you can understand why.

Her screams draw the attention of a mysterious man who comes to her aid then patches her up and returns her safely home without ever sharing his name. Intrigued and confused by this mysterious man with no name, she can not get him off her mind and in turn her rescuer finds himself drawn to Jade repeatedly though he tries hard to fight the lure of her. He works in the shadows on the edge of society and knows that his connection to her threatens not only his safety but hers as well. Can they overcome their dark pasts and personal demons to find a true connection?\r\n\r\nThis was a great story to read, and I enjoyed the push and pull of Jade and Braxton’s slowly building connection and their well-developed back stories.

After having been told her whole life that she is plain and boring, not beautiful or likely to be ever wanted she still tries to date, to fund her happily ever after but is unlucky in love. After another disastrous date she is attacked and rescued by Braxton. Braxton is everything she never knew she needed it wanted and Jade quickly becomes the centre of Braxton's dangerous world. He can't keep away from her but also struggles to stay. I loved this story so much and loved Braxton even if at times I wanted to shake him lol. It was so well written but emotional too. I felt for Jade so much, to be told all your life even by those who are supposed to love and protect you that you are nothing special was just so very sad, I know she felt is was setting her up to not have false hope but my heart broke for her. As for Braxton his back story was also heartbreaking and you could feel so much as to why he acted the way he did at times once you knew the truth. If ever there were two characters destined to find happiness and to fall in love and most of all be loved it was Jade and Braxton. I adored them both and am glad that I got to read their story and I know you will too. Happy Reading. \r\n5 out of 5 stars \r\nPlease note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.\r\n","date":"2nd Apr 2024"}]},"bulk_discount_rates":[],"meta_keywords":"","show_quantity_input":0,"title":"Plain Jade by Sam Crescent","gift_wrapping_available":false,"min_purchase_quantity":0,"customizations":[],"images":[{"data":"https:\u002f\u002fcdn11.bigcommerce.com\u002fs-21532\u002fimages\u002fstencil\u002f{:size}\u002fproducts\u002f3253\u002f3532\u002fplainjade1l__91342.1711335143.jpg?c=2","alt":"Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance\n\nHeat Level: 3\n\nWord Count: 30, 500\n\nISBN: 978-0-3695-0979-6\n\nEditor: Lisa Petrocelli\n\nCover Artist: Jay Aheer"}]}
