THIS STORY WAS EVERYTHING!!
This was nothing like I expected.
She's so stubborn and headstrong, such a difference from when we were first introduced to her.
IThis story was so real and raw and made my heart hurt for Jade. All of her emotional and physical trauma she went through only made her stronger. I love Rory, but Jade is definitely my new favorite.
I absolutely love her relationship with the Harley and Alex. Their history makes their relationship so deep right off the bat. I loved her with Alex and would have totally been okay if it was just them. But once Harley got his head out of his ass, it was explosive. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed from this book. And I'm sad there's only one.

I can not explain enough how much I loved watching them grow. Watching Jade be strong and fight for what she wanted warmed my heart.

This book!!! My god this book was a roller coaster of a ride. I will say it does include major triggers, but if you can handle that it is 1000% worth the read. We met Jade in Rory’s books and know a little bit about her, but in Perfectly Jaded we get to know her on a while new level as well as Alex and Harley. Jade has lived through so much abuse in her life, just taking the punches, but she finally has enough and takes matters into her own hands. While doing this she starts to fall head over heels for her guys both part of her past. I will say I loved watch Jade turn into a kick butt fmc. I love how she is strong but broken at the same time and we get to see her grow out of the brokenness. Now getting to Alex and Harley, I absolutely favored Alex. But by the end and a crying episode later, Harley majorly grew on me. I love how their relationship grew throughout the book. I also loved seeing Rory and her guys continuously throughout the book. Overall I freaking loved this book, and honestly this series is incredible. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next book, especially now that we have a new antagonist who is scary as hell.

Another amazing book!

I loved Jade’s story so much. She’s strong, but not as reckless as Rory which is why I felt like I connected with her more. The push and pull between the characters and the emotion kept me flipping through the pages. I’m ready for Lexi’s book!

This is the 5th book in the Watch Me Burn series and follows Jade, Harley and Alex. I loved Rory, she's crazy, impulsive, snarky, but Jade may have taken her place as my favorite.

Jade has been dealt a rough hand in life and I knew this would be a story of overcoming traumatic events and winning her life back. Jade has turned into a strong, confident woman that will not be taken for granted or abused ever again.

Harley and Alex also have their own troubles and the past is coming back to haunt Harley. They both love Jade with all they can give, and want to do anything and everything to protect her. They lift her up, but also sometimes, she feels like they are a little overbearing.

Let's get to the heart of this story. The emotion. The amount of depth that this book has is incredible. The trigger warnings are there for a reason and they do need to be taken seriously. RE has done a beautiful job on portraying how domestic violence effects people and how victims act. I have never cried so much during a book. Even writing this, I am getting choked up just thinking about it.

I was sucked into this book, but I savored it. I did not want Jade's story to end, but with the way that all the characters tie in from Rory's books, I know we are just seeing the beginning of her journey.

Fantastic job! I cannot wait to see how it continues in Lexi's book, Don't Fear the Reaper.

Jade’s Story Rocks


Another powerful story of a MFC overcoming so much and being strong. The twists in this will keep you wanting to read more so you know what happens. There is a HEA for the characters.
The best part is that even though Rory and the boys are not the main focus in this book, they are in here a lot, so you continue to see their relationship flourish. I do want to mention, however, that if you have triggers, you may not want to read this.
