Hey there, beautiful! I’m Joe, just Joe, not like that asshole with a heart of gold, F-cking Frank. Hope you’re not too disappointed that I kept my abs under wraps, I’m no show off. Check out the guns, though, am I right?Really, my abs would have distracted you too much away from my handsome face, and that would have been a travesty. I am the full package—handsome, built, funny, charming. You … You could say I’m a little full of myself, but I’m just honest. We are always told to build our self confidence and believe in ourselves. Then you agree when someone compliments you and you’re some kind of monster.
Wait until you meet Betsy, she’s amazing and I’m sure you’ll love her. She’s a stripper, oh shit, I mean she’s a burlesque dancer. Please don’t tell her I messed that up. She hates when I call her a stripper. She’s also a f*cking genius computer whiz.
Betsy hired me and my construction company to renovate her house. I’m a musician but I also really like making people’s homes up to date, plus it pays a shit ton.
Bets and I have friend-zoned each other but I secretly have the hots for her. My brother, Jack thinks I’m crazy for just being friends, but he’s only 18 and was raised by me, so he clearly knows nothing.
Or maybe he’s the smart one.
I think you should get this book and see what happens, or at least get it for the perfection that is the cover, ya know, me.

Just Joe is what he tells everyone to call him. Just a down to earth guy, gorgeous, sporting a six pack, owner of his own construction company, with enough confidence for everyone. And did I say he had a mouth? Oh yeah, it’s a smart mouth that he can’t keep shut for nothing. F#king Frank is his best friend….until he meets her.
Betsy is beautiful with pink, sometimes lavender hair, tattoos of a snake and garden strategically placed on her perfect body, tech worker by day, burlesque dancer by night. She hires Joe to renovate her house and she becomes Bestie to him. And so begins their own dance.
As the house takes shape, so does their relationship. Betsy doesn’t want a long term relationship and Joe is ready to settle down. Thru sickness, stalking, and sharing spaces, they both come to realize the true meaning of family. This is a wonderful second book in the series by Jen Luerssen and it was great to see Frank and Li and the band members from the first book. I look forward to seeing more books about this wonderful family of friends!
Just Joe is book two in the Smirk Series. It can absolutely be read as a standalone. Joe is a great guy. He’s sexy and sweet. He is a little full of himself at times but he also has his insecurities.
Betsy is great too. She’s a character would make a great friend. She hires Joe to fix her house. Her house has way more wrong with it then she thought and she ends up staying with Joe and his brother. Betsy is an interesting character. She’s smart and during the day she works as a computer programmer and at night she’s a burlesque dancer. I loved these two together. Some of their banter is funny. They start as friends. It’s a slow burn read and I was getting a little frustrated with them because I just wanted them to the admit they wanted to be more then friends but it was worth the wait.
Just Joe is so irresistible. He has that confidence and swagger that you both love and hate. Betsy seems so secure in herself but there is something missing there. When these two meet Joe is smitten but Betsy puts her walls up. What will it take to topple them and will Betsy let Joe in to her heart? Jen Luerssen has this unique way of taking the every day and making it extraordinary. I would never have seen myself routing for Joe but I think I may be his number one cheerleader. The Smirk Series has a new twist on those types of boys who just love to irritate you but have this uncanny knack of wiggling their way into your heart.
