Heartfelt and at times heartbreaking. Great continuation of this series of standalones. I struggled with the time transitions in this one a little more than the others but loved the message and history.

Amazing
Have you ever felt your heart rip out and then have it gently put back into your chest just for it to happen again? And have it repeat about 10x? No? Just me?

Even after some days between reading this book and finally try to write this review, I'm not sure if I can find the right words for it. I really really wanted to love this book, ending up 'just' liking it. As I can't put exactly into words, why I'm not loving it like everyone else, I'd say it a classic case of 'It's me, not the book'.
I adored Stone, who acted way older than he was. That's to be true when he was young and absolutely when he was in his late twenties. Perfect boyfriend material.
Regan is definitely something else. I loved the way how she 'womened up' and owned her troubled past as well as her wishes and hopes for her future. How she gave into her desires and chased her dreams.
However, I had trouble connecting to them as a couple. I couldn't feel the chemistry which clearly is there.
And even though I absolutely enjoyed reading it, there where many things I got irritated by. I also was left with more question marks I wished for.
I guess that's why I can't give more than three stars. I also must say that if you loved the first two books in this series you should definitely read this third one.

Dylan Allen has truly made me fall in love with Rivers Wilde. With every book in this series I have become more and more fascinated by the characters and The Jezebel was no exception! Stone and Regan have such a special story, and what a leading lady we have in Regan Wilde! Her journey from beginning to end is so captivating! I can’t say enough good things about her! And how can I forget Stone? What an incredible man he is and a great story he has! Him and Regan truly have a piece of my heart! Loved this book! Couldn’t put it down!

I have loved the Rivers Wilde series so far, and that continued here with The Jezebel. Each book is a standalone story, but I love the way they connect and you get to see different sides if you read them all. Though it isn’t necessary to enjoy The Jezebel, I highly recommend reading the previous books if you haven’t already.
I loved Regan and Stone. Each was both strong and unique, yet had vulnerabilities and fears that made them relatable. I felt for both of them, and yet because of who they each were I knew that they’d find a way through it all. Their chemistry and connection were there from the start, but as is often the way, life had other plans for them. Their journey wasn’t easy, but everything that happened led to who they became and it was impossible to imagine them being any different than they were. I couldn’t get enough of them and honestly felt like they were made for one another.
The main thing that kept this one from being a five star for me was something personal, and that is that while necessary to tell this story there were several jumps in time. I personally struggle with that in books, with it oftentimes distracting me from the story and becoming cumbersome to try and follow. While I got this story spanned a large stretch of time, I found myself being drawn out of the story at times because of the jumps and that kept me from being as captivated as I might have been. I still loved the story and the characters though, and it was great to see familiar faces again. I highly recommend this book and the entire series and I cannot wait for more from Dylan Allen in the future.

The dramatic chapters and time jumps did a great job of getting me hooked into the many subplots and then the romance started happening *gag* Some of the tacky/cringey things he says and I'm foregoing the weird ass imagery and metaphors :
'But one thing is as true as it was when I was ten -no matter how much i want her: Regan Wilde isn't mine to have.' What???!
'Well, that's good. I don't date little girls, I date women. Because I'm a man.' Okaaaaaaaaay

The Jezebel is an one of those books you start and can't put down until you've read every single word. Reagan's story is an emotional, eye-opening, steamy romance that will pull at your heart strings one minute and have you fanning yourself the next! The Jezebel is an epic addition to the Rivers Wilde series and another book that makes me wish I could pack up and move to Rivers Wilde immediately.
