Jamie: Connelly Cousins, Book 1.5 Kindle Edition

by Abbie Zanders (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 407 ratings

Nice guys don't always finish last.

Betrayed doesn’t begin to describe what Jamie McCullough feels when he discovers the woman who declined his marriage proposal has accepted another's - his own brother's!

Hurt and angry, Jamie finds himself in the warm and welcoming cafe of Amy’s Book Shoppe. In addition to a good cup of coffee, Amy serves up a friendly smile and some much-needed sympathy, too.

Amy’s been attracted to Jamie’s All-American good looks and gentlemanly demeanor since the first time she laid eyes on him. She’s all for lending a sympathetic ear from the friend zone, but Amy refuses to be a rebound. She admits she wants more, if and when he’s ready.

After a bit of soul-searching (and some hilarious advice from a trio of middle-aged romance authors), Jamie finally realizes that sometimes, those lemons life gives you can make some pretty sweet lemonade.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Jamie's story is a novella-length add-on to the Connelly Cousins series (Book 1.5 if you like numbers). A lot of readers felt he got the short end of the stick in Celina's book and wanted to see him get his HEA. Now, what kind of romance writer would I be if I said no to that? :-)

The Connelly Cousins series:
  • Book 1.0: Celina
  • Book 1.5: Jamie (novella)
  • Book 2.0: Johnny
  • Book 3.0: Michael

    Jamie: WOW! Perfect story for Jamie! It got him to really think on what happen with Celina and the relationship that he thought they had. He was hurt when Celina turned him down because was not in love with him and thought it was love and didn't understand while she fell for is brother when she seemed so not his brothers type. Until he Met Any but she said to him she did not want to be his rebound. That hurt but he understood. The he met the ladies in Vegas and they have him several pointers. It was a sweet story.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Jamie gets his heart repaired...
    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017

    A stand alone read from a series with a HEA. Jamie has proposed to Celina. However, his brother Kyle steps in and marries the girl and now Jamie is heartbroken by the betrayal. This is a very short read and leads to Jamie getting his HEA once he realizes that he never really loved Celina to begin with. She was perfect on paper.

    It is not until he experiences emotions and feelings with Amy that he realizes fate saved him from a very wrong move. Amy is not only perfect for Jamie, she is in love with him. Their story is short and sweet. Jamie learns some very valuable lessons from a group of romance writers!! They play a fun part in their story. It was a light easy read and I would definitely recommend it. The sex was a zero, so it would be okay for any age group.

    I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/29/17

    Jamie is still reeling from Celina choosing his brother over him. When he smells the coffee, he decides to stop in.
    Amy owns the book shop. There is a guy that won't take no for an answer. She is so happy to see Jamie.
    While away on a business trip, Jamie meets some authors who put him in his place. Now he just hopes it's not to late and Amy will give him a chance.

    As Ms. Zanders says, these characters are real. This is a great series, with wonderfully different storylines/issues. I eagerly await the stories for Nick and Tazer. Ms. Zanders , is it possible that Mr. Conlan or Seamus and Erin have been whispering to you? Or maybe Keely's great great grandmother(which could be a crossover with your Historical books)?

    This is the story that follows Celina and Kyle's story. Celina was dating Jaime when she met his brother Kyle. She ended up marrying Kyle. This is Jaime's story and how he got his HEA with Celina's best friend Amy. I particularly loved the romance writers that Jaime met in Vegas. What a hoot!

    How can Jamie convince Amt that she is not the rebound she thinks she is? With the help of three older romance writers that he met in a bar in Vegas at an author romance convention of course. Will Amy believe that she isn't just a rebound for him? Will he ever forgive his brother?
