The year is 1969. Though there is war and unrest in the world, on August 15th, on a farm in upstate New York, a little concert will go down in history as the most famous music festival of our time: Woodstock. It also happens to be the day Bonnie McMillan and Peter Hampton meet and begin their free-spirited love-filled journey with each other. What happens at Woodstock stays at Woodstock, right? … right? Nope!
Fast forward forty-seven years. Bonnie unexpectedly passes after a night of hot sex and is whisked up to Purgatory, ‘The Green Room’ as they call it. Bonnie’s best friend meets her at the pearly green gates and the fun begins, from body sculpting to channeling.
Follow Bonnie on her erotically incorrect quest to re-connect with the love of her life. Or at the very least, make sure the sex toys are hidden before the kids start sorting through her things!

Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine (The Green Room Chronicles #1) by J.D. Frettier was a quick, fun, light hearted, and smutty read, that had a little bit a everything.
This quick and dirty read was super fun, and was a first for me by this author. I enjoyed the easy flow writing and the sassy sense of humour. There’s a lot going on for this fast read, coming in at 45 pages, the author did a wonderful job at not only displaying the MC quirky personality but did a excalent job at showing us the differences in the side characters as well.
The best part of this whole book was Bonnie freaking out cause she didn’t want her kids to find her and her husbands “naughty toy” collection. I had a good a laugh at that. See this is why you need a plan in place.Me and my bestie got eachothers back.. if you know what I’m saying… ahahahah..
Overall this was just a enjoyable read. I give this book my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval. I can’t wait to read the next instalment of the Green Room Chronicles.
Happy Reading

Desperately Seeking Sixty-nine by JD Frettier
Four Stars
This story had me laughing. I want to be cool like Bonnie and Peter when I’m old. Married for forever and still shaking the sheets. I want to go on knowing I lived my best life. Bonnie is in a in-between plane and getting a new look. What had me laughing hard was the collection. This was a short witty read. A nice break between my normal genres.
Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine, the first book in the Green Room Chronicles, is written by J.D. Frettier. This novella is hilariously and well written story, justly so as it was an easy and quick read. The theme of the book was fun, light and perfect for the cast of characters. I think this story was creative, refreshing and something different out there in the genre that has become over-saturated.
This is a short novella that has a sense of humor about itself. The premise is that a woman dies and goes to a place that isn’t heaven or hell. She runs into her best friend and has an adventure.
This story teaches us a few life lessons:
1. Have an estate plan complete with all your wishes. Don’t let your daughter pick your outfit.
2. Make sure someone knows all of your log-ins and passwords (ok that’s not in the story, but it’s my tip to everyone).
3. Make sure your partner AND at least one trust friend knows where your “naughty things” are so family doesn’t find them.
4. Remember we are sexual beings no matter how old we are.
This is a story that I would anonymously recommend to my elderly mother’s book club. They would also get a kick out if it 🙂
This is my first book by this author and I loved it from the first word until the last. It is a fun short story that is engaging. I read it in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down until I found out how it ended. It shows you how true love lasts even after death. I loved the characters and the emotional roller coaster ride they took me on. I laughed and felt compassion for them. I highly recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars
The story Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 1) by J.D. Frettier is a book I enjoyed reading. When I read the details about the story I wasn’t sure about what to expect. What I got is a story that I couldn’t put down. It is a book that includes love and humor. Add in some witty remarks and some steamy situations and you have the right mix that will keep you turning pages. I loved the character of Bonnie McMillan. She has unexpectedly passed away and found herself in what they call “The Green Room.” She finds herself guided by her best friend who I also found to be a wonderful character to read about. Bonnie is now experiencing body sculpting and channeling. I could feel the love that Bonnie has for Peter and it is heartwarming. What else will Bonnie experience in “The Green Room? Will she re-connect with the love of her life? I enjoyed reading about the afterlife in this book. It had had me smiling and laughing out loud. It also includes some heartwarming parts as well. It is a well-written and unique story that I would recommend reading. It is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

BOOK REVIEW: Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine by Jennifer Theriot
For the first time, we at this blog decided to listen to our first audio book and can I say it was the best decision we ever made. As a reviewer, I have read many books and felt many emotions through each book I have read. Listening to an audio book as added a new dimension to reviewing.
I could do other things while listening intently to the story as it unfolded but to have a different voice for each character added a new dimension of enjoyment to the story, listening as the emotions are played out of each character and the humour of the book made it that much more enjoyable.
The story starts with the death of Bonny and the help of her dearly departed friend Dee helping her through to the in-between heaven and hell. Bonny’s main concern about dying is that her husband needs to hide their sex toys from their adult children.
The story travels through Bonny’s journey into her new life but also her not wanting to let go of her past, you learn how she met her husband and what their life/love was like. Being children of Woodstock and how as a couple they didn’t want to live the life of the norm. How they explored many different aspects of their sex life.
Even as a spirit Bonny found a way to still be sexual with her husband and to channel so that she is still with him in spirit.
The story is funny from the start. It has a different take on the word romance as Bonny in spirit form still loves and wants to be with her husband, how they make it work till it is his time to join her.
The author has created an amazing story with comedy and laughter all the way through, the audio aspect just adds to the content created by the author.
I strongly recommend this book, it’s fun, funny, with a twist on romance, if you want to add to the enjoyment get it in audio.
Never judge a book by its length. This audiobook may have been the shortest one that I’ve ever listened to, but it ranks as one of my top favorites. It has steam, hijinks and adventure in what is an amazing depiction of what happens ‘after’. I cannot wait to pick up the next book in the series. If you are a fan of the hippie movement and want to see a flower child stumble through what seems to be an amazing afterlife, grab this book, put on your headphones, and settle in!
Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife (The Green Room Chronicles Book 1) by J.D. Frettier is a five star novel. This novel was completely unexpected and wonderful. The author takes us on a wonderful journey of what the afterlife could be like when Bonnie passes away on her birthday. In this afterlife, she realizes she can have pretty much anything she wants, including surgeries that don’t hurt making her body look back the way it did when she was younger. She spends the novel trying to find a way to connect again with her husband. I definitely recommend reading this book because of its great portrayal of the afterlife and it is a quick read!
Desperately Seeking Sixty-Nine: A Spicy Romantic Comedy About the Afterlife, is the first book in the Green Room Chronicles. It is also the first book I have read by this authors, J.D. Frettier. At first, I was really worried about the book, thinking it would be super kinky, due to the title. (Side note,it wasn’t the 69 I was thinking it meant!) I don’t mind a little spice, and this had the right amount. But most important, it was hilarious! This book made me laugh so much, and it was a super easy, quick read. The plot is funny, and the things that go on in the afterlife are very creative. I love the way it was written, and have already moved on to the 2nd book in the series. I highly recommend this book to anyone that needs a good entertaining story, that will make you laugh!
This is the first book that i have read by this author and i thought it was a good start. It was a fun story that kept my interest throughout and i felt like even though it was a short read, everything was wrapped up nicely. The characters were enjoyable and i liked the emotions that were brought out in this story. I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend this to someone looking for a fun and quick read.
In this short novel, J.D. Frettier introduces us to Bonnie and Peter who met in 1969 at Woodstock. Their lives were filled with free love and a great sex life. When Bonnie dies unexpectedly, she finds herself somewhere between Heaven and Hell called The Green Room. Bonnie is desperate to find a way to contact her grieving husband before their adult children begin going through her personal items. Although their son would not be phased, their up-tight daughter would be horrified if she found Bonnie and Peter’s stash of sex toys. Can she figure out how to contact Peter in time, and if she learns how to communicate with him, what else can she do?This was a light hearted and quick read that made me chuckle out loud. I’ll admit that I am not normally a huge fan of short novels like this, but J.D. Frettier grabbed my attention and left me anxious to read more. I cannot wait to sit down with book 2!

Desperately Seeking Sixty Nine: A Spicy Romantic Comedy about the Afterlife ( The Green Room Chronicles Book 1) by J D Frettier. This is the best book. I laughed, I cried and I couldn’t put it down. Its the story of 1969, Woodstock where Bonnie & Peter meet and begin their life long quest for love. They think “What happens at Woodstock, Stays at Woodstock” not so much! 47 years later Bonnie dies unexpectedly after a passionate night & whisked to Purgatory. She meets her best friend Dee at the Green Pearly Gates and her quest to reconnect with her soul mate begins. 69 is brought up several times in the book and it has special meaning to it. This is such a fun book and I loved every minute of it. I don’t want to say much more as not to spoil it for you all. Its the best story and I can’t wait to read the next one.
I loved the concept of this book: The fact that there was a green room where you could meet up with loved ones in the afterlife and rekindle your love. It was a perky, positive book with a different outlook to the traditional Heaven/ Hell ideas that we are sold. I liked the main character of Bonnie and her sidekick Dee. I also liked the fact that her husband Peter was able to feel her presence while he was alive and she was in the green room and that they would be able to meet up later to relive the early days of their love. The love scenes were hot but tasteful and plentiful.
It was a short book but the good news is there are more to come from this author. I will soon be delving into the next book…once I’ve brought my temperature back down!

By J.D. Frettier
I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about this book but I was intrigued. I’m glad I decided to dive right in because I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was humorous, original, sexy, and more for such a short story. I certainly hope there is a green room I can go to in the afterlife and get my body fixed up!! I loved the characters in this story and the flashbacks to Woodstock. I was sucked into this story right away and since it was such a quick read I found myself wanting more when I got to the end. I recommend this great fun loving sexy read. There are deeper feelings at times in this story and I think those are a wonderful addition and makes this story that much more enjoyable. I can’t wait to read the next one.
I really do enjoy a light hearted fun read and that is exactly what this novel was, this had me laugh out right at times or smiling like a Cheshire cat. There was also hot vivid steamy scenes my oh my it got me all hot under the collar. This is one of those novels you can just sit back on a beach or on your sofa and just get lost in it and the next second you know your at the end of the story you will get completely lost in thr storyline!
This is a funny story about life after death.
Its about a women who has dies leaving behind her husband who she adores.
It tells a wonderful story of her fun filled life and how she brings that over to the other side.
Its a story that will make you laugh and smile.
