I’ve been wondering about Ida Sue and Jansen since I started to read about the Lucas brood, those two captivated me more and more, the love they have for each other had me swooningIda Sue Is the mother of all mothers, she’s not afraid to you in your place and I love it, her sense of humor is out of this world, and Jansen is Prince Charming in my book. You’re amazing Jordan Marie! Thank You For bringing an Ida Sue in our lives.
Don’t miss Jordan Marie’s latest release, Knocking Boots!
Knocking Boots is the fifth book in the Lucas Brothers Series. It can be read as a standalone, I haven’t read the other books in the series and I had no problem following it. Saying that I feel that if I started at the beginning I would get to know all the characters better. Ida Sue is one strong woman, she has nine kids and the knocks keep coming, but does that stop her. The story was fun, sweet and steamy. Jansen is a cowboy, who’s been hurt. However with the love of a good woman, and her broad he’s found a home. Great story.
I’ve been waiting for Ida Sue and Jansen’s story since this series practically started and it was such an emotional, funny, passionate and awesome story by the amazing author, Jordan Marie! I loved every moment, from start to finish and it gave us more insight into how Ida Sue thinks, feels and what she went through and how even though she shows us in the other books of this great series, that she’s strong and independent woman, she also has her vulnerable side, a side Jansen had the privilege of getting to know and fall in love with all of who Ida Sue really is 🙂 <3
This story is definitely a roller-coaster of various emotions that you won't regret jumping in and reading it 🙂 I can't wait for the next story of this series 😉
As a fan of Jordan Marie’s since her first book was released, it’s a given that if she releases it, I will read it. I hate to pigeonhole an author, it’s not fair to them. But I don’t think I was the only one of Jordan’s readers who automatically thought of gripping, gritty, raw and deeply emotional MC romances when they thought of her work. A little over two years ago, though, that changed when she released The Perfect Stroke. Turns out that sexy romantic comedies are another genre that is totally in Jordan Marie’s wheelhouse. She’s a natural, and looking back over the entirety of her work, I really shouldn’t have been surprised. She totally she nailed it, and it’s because this author is exceptional storyteller.
Knocking Boots takes readers back to the beginning, before Gray and CC, to fan-favorites, Ida Sue and Jansen. This, folks, is where the Crayola Gang began. This book was so funny and so very sexy with Ida Sue and Jansen’s off-the-charts chemistry and their effortlessly witty, back-and-forth bantering. We see the Ida Sue’s nine kids as, well, kids—and we even get to see Hamburger as a calf, and not as the bovine version of a canine that he’s grown to be over the years. But most importantly, we learn the stories of Ida Sue and Jansen and how they were before they clicked together and became whole. This couple’s relationship has always been fiery and rock-solid, and while it definitely started out fiery, it was a bit more rocky before they got to the solid part. It was a fantastic look back at this family’s beloved matriarch, her personal history and that of the man who loves her endlessly.
Side-splitting humor, steamy romance and the spirited characters readers have come to love, Jordan Marie takes fans back in time to where it all started. It wouldn’t be a Jordan Marie story with a punch to the feels, and she delivers those blows between the belly laughs and passionate encounters. Five smooches from me for Knocking Boots by Jordan Marie!

Jordan Marie has mastered the alpha beast-man who walks into a story ready to steal hearts and chew bubblegum…and I’m not sure this boy EVER had any gum. Jansen Reed is everything lovable in a good hero. Intense, bantery, as easy to control as a wildfire, and just a *touch* moody. I’m not going to tell you how the swoon unfolds for one lucky lady, but I know one thing: this is the HOTTEST Lucas Brothers book yet. Grab it FREE in Kindle Unlimited!
This book is Ida Sue and Jansen’s story. If you have read any of the Lucas Brothers books you know Ida Sue is their mother and Jansen is the love of her life. In this installment we get to see how they meet and fall in love. I liked seeing how Jansen came into all of their lives. He didn’t just fall for Ida Sue, but all of her kids as well. I liked getting the POV of the kids as well as Jansen and Ida Sue. I really enjoyed this book, and the insights it gives into characters I have loved since reading my first story in the series.
Ida Sue and Jansen
Loved this story of how Ida Sue and Jansen met and everything in between which makes for a funny story and some background information about how everything came to be for this Lucas family
I’m kicking myself for waiting so long, but I know about Lucas brother story is around the corner….so I just had to make sure I’d read this one first and I don’t regret it one bit
Absolutely loved Ida Sue and Jansen’s story. I loved reading about their journey as it unraveled through the years. I loved the connection and banter as they continue through the years and how the bond became stronger. It’s fun and entertaining and you love the characters more. A great addition to this series and highly recommended!!
Why is 5 stars the highest amount of stars?? This book deserves more. i would say at least 10. By far my most fave of the Lucas Brothers books, and it was about their mother. lol I was in love with her and Jensen prior to this book. this just cemented my love. Jordan sure knows how to capture my attention and keep it locked in until it is midnight, and a book is finished!
I love all of Jordan Marie’s books!!!! IdaSue and Jansen kept me entertained!!!! This series is great!!!! I’m kinda girl crushing on IdaSue here!!!
Let’s of by saying Jordan Marie is one of my favorite author’s to read and I love every time she puts out another book as we loved all her MC Romance Series they were simply the best and this current read was and awesome read for us and we loved it.We really enjoyed it as it was one of the funniest books I have read to date.
From the first moment we first meet this couple we new they were going to take us on one heck of a ride and they did just that.We really enjoyed the story from cover to cover as it was filled with wonderful character’s and the author made it easy to love them but, also fall in love with them especially that Hellion Tribe of Ida’s’ . Omg! did they make us laugh out loud with all their antic’s and all those family get together conversations where they were always plotting but, you could not help but feel the love that this family had among them and that they wanted only for their mom to be happy and that was their main goal in life was to see to her happiness.
Ida Sue-We found to be sweet,kind,loving, feisty,had a backbone, was independent, spoke her mind ,had a sense of humor and was a wonderful mother to her 9 children but, she also carries around demons from her past that make her a little lost and broken.
Janesen- Omg ! We fell for him from the moment he refused to due business with a man spouting off at the mouth about a women he didn’t even know.We found him to be a savior,loving,kind,protective,a dad figure that was a gentle soul but, he was also a drifter who was chasing something is whole life without ever really knowing what he was chasing until her met Ida Sue and her family.
Ida-s children were just hilarious and they gave us tons of laughs and we loved each and every one of them what a hoot!We loved the electric names choices and their names were fitting for some of them.
Overall the story was one of those books that just makes you feel good and we loved,laughed,cried and fell in love with all these wonderful character’s that put a permanent smile on my face to the very end. For us the ending was perfect and fitting for this couple. lol
The thing we loved most about this story is that it was easy to connect with the character’s we are reading about and we love when that happens because from the onset of the story we already know we are going to love it and we did just that !
The author has done it again and this book goes onto our keeper pile to be read over and over again.
Recommended read to all !
Ida Sue and her 9 kids are so entertaining! They will make you laugh and cry. Jansen and Ida Sue are perfect for each other! Their HEA was the icing on the cake,. Can’t wait for more of the Lucas Brothers!
Aww, Ida Sue and Jansen, I love this book! I love that the story goes back in time with Ida Sue and her kids and how she meets Jansen, this story filled in many questions I had about Ida Sue and you can’t help but love her more. Loved the Lucas family from the first book and always looking forward to the next one.
I never thought we would get Ida Sue’s and Jansen’s story, but I am so happy that we did. Ida Sue has always been a no-nonsense kind of woman. She has never been one to mince words, and she has always loved her children. Ida Sue would move heaven and earth for them. In the other books, we have gotten some of her story but not nothing on how she and Jensen met. In Knocking Boots we get their love story, and what a story it is.
Jensen has a sad history when it comes to women. He is not one to trust and fall in love. All Jensen wants is to work and live on his own. But when he meets the Lucas family, he has no idea what to do with them. They are so different than any family he has ever known that he wants to know more.
Ida Sue needs help with her ranch, but is Jensen the kind of support she needs? Her kids love him, he is not hard on the eyes, and he gives as good as he takes. But will their love last through their past mistakes?
I loved this story so much. It brought both Idea Sue and Jensen’s history and what they both had to go through to find the love they have in the future you see now. Nobodies love perfect, and this book shows that. Thank you, Jordan, for this great read!
I loved this book! I had to reread all the others afterwards again and still want the other kids stories! Great background info on ida sue and her loves
Knocking Boots was another great addition to the Lucas brothers series. I loved every minute of this series and you will to. Go grab these cowboys today.
