Jasper Vale: 4 (The Edens, 4) Paperback – Import, 7 May 2024

Devney Perry gave Eloise an incredible story! I have loved the youngest sister of the Eden family and her drive to protect and keep the hotel that’s in her name. I always thought of her as the kindest, sweetest, most generous and hardest working person of the Eden family. Then again, they’re all pretty incredible. But we’ve seen how much Eloise has struggled and how she’s fought to come out on top, so to have her story be all kinds of beautiful made me happy. And don’t even get me started on the grump that is Jasper, oof *fans self*Jasper Vale has:✨ a shotgun wedding that turns into a marriage of convenience✨ small town montana✨ grumpy x sunshine (of a sort)✨ strangers to lovers✨ eden family dynamics✨ forced proximity✨ dirty talking hero✨ “that’s my wife”✨ wiiiiiide open doors✨ faking it till they make itI’m a sucker for a fake relationship or a marriage of convenience, so falling in love with Eloise and Jasper’s complicated story wasn’t that hard. One night in Vegas together turns their world upside down and despite deciding to get their shotgun wedding annulled, they hold onto the marriage for…reasons. I loved their relationship, though. It’s complicated and it’s a little messy, but it’s also VERY hot. Eloise and Jasper might not seem like the perfect match, but that’s kind of what makes them work so well together. I loved their banter, the chemistry and obviously the sexual tension. I admired both of them for thinking that they could stay away from each other when they clearly just want to bone all the time!Having met Jasper in Garnet Flats and only seen him through Talia and Foster’s eyes, to see him so open in his own book was incredible. Jasper is a rough kind of guy, he’s got all these secrets that do come out eventually and he’s struggling to make sense of the world and his place in it, but he finds all of that in Quincy, Montana. I loved watching him go from being a scowly, grumpy man to loosening up a little because of Eloise. Speaking of…Eloise and her struggles with proving to her family that she’s responsible and worthy of this job and owning the hotel continues and my heart hurt for how desperately she wanted it and felt like she had to do so much more than necessary to get what she wanted. I wasn’t overly pleased with her parents through this book, but Eloise has my whole heart.The steam in this book is next level off the charts hot. When you put two characters who are attracted to each other and fighting all other feelings in the same a-frame home, you’re bound to get explosive sex and chemistry. And Jasper and Eloise don’t hold back. I think, personally, this might be Devney’s best set of sex scenes yet? I loved every single one, I could feel the desire between these characters through each scene and might have (no shame) read some of them more than once.Knowing who comes next and what the book is about has me champing at the bit for it. But then it also makes me aware there’s only one more Eden after that and I’m sad to say goodbye to this family!

Very straightforward. No unnecessary drama. It was perfect the way it was. The characters are perfect. Jasper is the perfect book bf's, I am calling him perfect because he was a step up considering how action oriented he was throughout. He made choices for himself and acted on them, no second guessing or waiting....Read and discover all the reasons as to why he deserves to be in your BOOK BF ROSTER.

I loved this book, Jasper & Eloise were everything! From the first page itself, I was swept away by the feelings that developed between them. I loved every one of their interactions and the way they gradually grew to care for and understand each other was so amazing! Eloise was the sweetest and I loved her caring heart! Jasper had a certain charm about him. Even though he spoke less, his personality was appealing. As always, it was a delight to see the Eden family and this was a wonderful read! I was very excited for Eloise's story and Devney did not disappoint. I don't know how am I going to wait till Layla & Matteo's books are released.

Loved it to pieces!! It was such a fantastic set up, and sparks were flying from the moment we see Jasper and Eloise together. Their chemistry is so electric, and though neither them want a relationship, let alone a marriage, their attraction is intense! And, as it turns out, completely irresistible, and their fake marriage very quickly becomes a fake marriage-with-benefits, as they can’t keep their hands – or any other body parts – off each other.It’s hot, steamy, and a little bit filthy, and OMG, I was here for it! I loved the connection between Jasper and Eloise. Living together as husband and wife, Eloise is keen to get to know her husband, but the man is hard to crack. But slowly and surely, things starts to shift, and I loved every moment of it!
