My name is Jaxson Albright. My friends call me Jax. I was brought up privileged, and I was supposed to follow in my father’s footsteps and move into politics, but I had other plans. To my family’s disgust, I’m inked, I’m pierced and I own and run a tattoo parlour in the hip suburb of Newtown, Sydney. I fit in here. I can be the man I was destined to be. But I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my … my saviour, Candice. My pink haired angel. We grew up in the same circle – like me, she’s an outcast. I have been in love with her for as long as I can remember. I’ve spent the last few years pounding random hot chicks trying to mask these feelings I have for her, but it doesn’t help. I can’t get her out of my head. She still owns my damn heart. If you loved J.L. Perry’s bestselling BASTARD and HOOKER, you’ll lose yourself entirely in JAX.

JAX ~ This is the time I wish I could give more than 5 Stars because JL Perry has written an outstanding story.
Jax can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading Bastard first, Bastard is Carter’s story and we get our first insight into Jax but the things we learn about him are only a brief snap shot he truly is an amazing person.
Jax starts from when Candice & Jax are growing up and takes you through many years and the heart-breaking situations that unfold.
Candice ~ Is Jax’s best friend and will always have a place above his heart! She is a down to earth girl who made me laugh, cry and scream with frustration at times.
Soul-mates ~ But is the strong bond enough to pull them together or will pass mistakes destroy their life’s apart.
Highly recommended read for lovers of true romance, hot sex scenes, a great sense of humor and not afraid to sheared a tear of tear >>> believe me my heart broke several times whilst reading JAX.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I laughed and had tears in my eyes while reading this story. It truly grabbed me from the start and that’s when I knew I was going to fall head over heels with Jax’ story! Definitely worth the read and worth 5 stars for me!
Jax never really felt like he belonged in his family. His father is a politician and his mother never really cared for him. He always had feelings for Candice since the day they met but he never gave in to his feelings. One night changes everything and the next he’s gone…
Candice never really gets over it and days turn into years without them seeing each other. Until years later, they meet again and sparks fly yet again. So much has changed for both of them. Will they finally have a happy ending and be with each other ? Or will secrets keep them apart?…
No matter how hard life gets, when you want something you will have to fight for it. Life is too short to live with regret…. You need to follow your dreams and stand by what you believe, no matter what people say.
Oh my goodness what a perfect book, I think a big book hangover is happening. This book was everything and more.
I loved JL Perrys Bastard and I wasn’t sure if Jax would be as good especially when you love the first characters so much, but of everything and holy in this world I effing loved it. I don’t even know what to really say about this besides it was perfect.
I loved Jax even in bastard and when I heard he was getting his own book I was more than excited, well I am glad this was written I love Jax, I want a Jax for myself oh he was so good. Even when he was doing the wrong thing you could forgive him straight away. The way his family treated him my heart broke, I couldn’t handle it I just wanted to reach in and give Jax a hug myself and let him know it’s ok he has me 🙂
Candice was an amazing character I loved her and hated what she did to Jax but I could understand why everything happened the way it did. She was so strong and I loved her stubbornness.
I even loved Candices mum and Brandon he made my heart melt and Maddie she was the perfect character, the character that really touched my heart was Brian oh my goodness I loved his story but hated it at the same time, but god the way Jax helped him it just hurt my heart in a good way it was such a beautiful story.
This book made me cry (thank you for the girls that warned me), I laughed, I got so frustrated which is great and I loved the angst ohh i just didn’t want too put the book down and I didn’t, I stayed in bed nearly all day and finished it.
This book deserves all the stars in the world and if I could rate this book a thousand stars the I would but I can’t so I will give this book 5+++++++++++++++ that doesn’t give it justice.
If you looking for a book that is a massive roller coaster ride then this is your book. If you are new to this author go and read Bastard first these books were fantastic
I don’t normally watch the book trailer, I don’t have enough of an attention span for those but I’m glad I took a second to watch it. I wanted the book right away and was ready to one click, but to my horror, it hadn’t been released yet so I googled to find out what book of JL Perry should I read first.
After reading Bastard and Luckiest Bastard I was ready for Jax and I was not disappointed. It took me the day to read because I was so excited.
Besties who grew up together Jax and Candice are in love but don’t want to ruin their friendship. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out that way, after an incident they part ways and do not see other for years, nothing has changed and they are still hopelessly in love but do not want to ruin their friendship again (bloody idiots).
I kept wishing these two would get their shit together you could feel how much they love each other still. This is a great read even with the angst and I did enjoy it.
