So I’ll start off by saying I am NOT a 50 shades fan. So when I was told this book was 50 shades ISH I was concerned. But I actually really ended up like it! It was still dominatrix y but way less kinky / more like typical MQ sex scenes just with asking for submission first.
I felt like his chemistry was better with the side character Kace and Goldie than Goldie and Jett. But Goldie is turned on by anything that moves so it was hard for me to feel chemistry on her end very well at all. I also found myself MUCH more attracted to Kace. I was secretly hoping he would become the main character even though I knew it wouldn’t happen. I’m curious to see how things play out with him going forward.
I loved the New Orleans setting especially since I’ve been there so I could picture everything well!
The only thing that REALLY bugged me was the pet names. Kitten is STUPID AF and “little one” sounds like you are talking to a child.

Being a Jett Girl by Meghan Quinn takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the world of the French Quarter in New Orleans, where secrets, sensuality, and suspense collide in a captivating narrative that leaves you both breathless and enthralled.
The story revolves around Goldie, a young woman who is unexpectedly thrust into the intoxicating world of the Jett Girls, an exclusive and enigmatic group of performers at the renowned Magnolia House. Quinn paints a vivid picture of this unique and seductive environment, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and mysteries of New Orleans' sultry nightlife.
Goldie's character is a delightful blend of vulnerability and resilience. As she navigates the complexities of her new life, readers will find themselves rooting for her at every turn. Meghan's storytelling prowess shines as she skillfully crafts a narrative filled with suspense, unexpected twists, and a dash of danger, making it impossible to put the book down.
The romantic elements of "Being a Jett Girl" are equally engaging. Goldie's interactions with the enigmatic Declan Black, a powerful figure in the French Quarter, are charged with undeniable chemistry. Their relationship unfolds gradually, adding depth to the story and keeping readers hooked as they yearn for more of their electric connection.
Beyond the romance, Meghan explores themes of identity, trust, and the importance of choosing one's own path. Goldie's journey of self-discovery is a central theme, and it resonates with readers on a profound level.

I wanted to love this book. It started out great. I think this is a book you either love or hate. Sadly, I didn’t love it. I did love Kase. I may have to try to read his book.

Well, shit sticks.
I loved Meghan Quinn's [b:The Virgin Romance Novelist|24497054|The Virgin Romance Novelist|Meghan Quinn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1425569049s/24497054.jpg|44092560] so I was request crazy when I saw this book come up on Netgalley.
Now I'm gonna admit, the sexy times in this book were hot as heck. Ms. Quinn nails that with a sense of fun that I do find refreshing.
Goldie works in a bar as a waitress, think Hooters on steroids. She barely makes ends meet so she has sex with a dude for money to help with the bills.
She catches the attention of the guy named Jett, he owns an exclusive club in New Orleans and once she signs that little contract all her debts will disappear.
She doesn't have to have sex with the clients just with Jett himself. The clients can look but not touch, they can of course avail themselves to the little room provided to relieve themselves.
Can you guess that I wasn't a fangirl over this one?
I think I might need a shower just to get this dirty feeling off me after this book.
I get that women can do whatever they want with their own bodies. I'm progressive like that. However, don't feed it to me in a story that provides she only gets to do that by submitting to a guy. Plus said guy has a stable of women who already provide that for him.
Just yuck. Pure yuck.
The reviews for the book are high. So obviously it might just be me.

Every time I read a Meghan Quinn book I remember how much I love her writing. I also remember how badly I want to read every.single.thing she has ever written. I love her even more after reading Becoming A Jett Girl.
Freaking awesome amazing book! It is going on my sidebar of my blog when I get to rearranging it, which I think I must do today to show off this book!
Normally in my reviews I give a brief go over of the book but I don’t want to do that this time because I don’t like sharing anything that isn’t in the blurb in my reviews and so much of this book is not in the blurb.
I am just going to get straight in to the heart of what I thought.
First, I LOVE that cover. Black and white covers are my favorite and this one is going up there with one of my all time favorite covers. I have heard some people complain that if it doesn’t have a sexy man on the cover, readers won’t buy it. I love my sexy men, but I don’t need that. Give me a bold cover that captures my eye without a lot of clutter on it and I will be dying to read your book. I don’t care if it is a woman or a man on the cover, this is a perfect example, it is a gorgeous cover and as soon as I saw it, I had to read it.
I started this book on Thursday night and kept reading until 2 in the morning when I realized that if I didn’t go to bed soon I would have no sleep at all when the kids woke me up to go to the parade. I hated to put it down but I did. I picked it up as soon as I was done with the festivities for the day and read the rest without stopping. This would have been a straight through read for me if I had started it earlier on Thursday. It was so good.
The characters were amazing! The women were strong and quick witted, Goldie had a mouth on her that wouldn’t stop. When she was hurting, my heart broke for her, when she was nervous, I felt nervous, when she was happy, I soared with her. I felt everything that she was feeling as I was reading. I loved all of the women, their friendships, their banter back and forth. I was laughing out loud more than a few times while I was reading.
I know that the book is named after Jett, and he should be our main hero, but I feel like there are two men in this book that are in the spotlight. I adored both of them, most of the time and wanted to kick their a$$es the rest of the time. They were both hot alpha males that were integral to the story and I feel like there is so much more to both of their stories to be told (along with more about the other women that live in the house).
I cannot wait to read more from The Bourbon Series! I think this might just jump out there in front for me as my favorite series by Meghan Quinn – until the next book comes out in the Warbler’s Point series. :D
If I could give this more than 5 stars on all the review sites, I would. I loved it that much.
Thank you so much for my copy of Becoming A Jett Girl! I absolutely adored it!!
