Just a Tip by Jenessa Fayeth: Book Review

 *Book received for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

Trent: 

Waking up in Vegas is not all it’s cracked up to be. Before you ask, no, I didn’t find myself married, simply kidnapped. By my brother. 

Let me repeat that. MY BROTHER KIDNAPPED ME. 

Thankfully, the beautiful, albeit somewhat scary woman at the bar has agreed to let me ride to Phoenix with her. So I’ll be out of Vegas and back home for the holiday in no time. As long as we don’t end up in jail, or worse. 

At least the woman who used to terrify me has turned into a decent travel companion. 

Now if we can ever make it home. 

Karli: 

Being home for the holidays is overrated. Or at least my home. 

So when the chance comes to attend someone else's holiday, I jump at the opportunity. I’m lonely, okay? 

But traveling with Trent is more than I expected. As in, I did not expect these kinds of feelings. Not after only twenty-four hours together. 

The trip is perfect, in a complete train wreck kind of way. But what happens when we get home? 

Jenessa Fayeth doesn't remember the last time she got a full night's sleep. But she does know how late she can stay up reading to survive the next day. In college she majored in Family Life and Human Development, and she now uses that knowledge to convince herself she isn't crazy while raising her wild children. Her hobbies include reading, writing, sleeping, eating, and running. She writes all night and is a mom and wife all day. She is constantly exhausted, but she wouldn't change it for the world. In her opinion, peanut butter is the most important food group.

Just a Trip is the third book in the Just a Bentley Christmas series. I had not personally read the previous books in the series and found that this read just fine as a standalone. 

Right from the first chapter, this book had me laughing out loud. I could tell right away that this group of siblings were going to be an absolute blast... and that was even BEFORE the kidnapping! Oh yes, this book was certainly not short on the laughs! But there were also some really difficult moments with Karli's family as well. While those moments definitely tugged at my heart, the balance between the two was done very well. I appreciated that the humor kept it from becoming too much. And oh, the chemistry! I absolutely loved these two together with their flirty banter and how he wanted to take care of her, something that she hadn't seen much of in her life. This story takes place over just a few days, but there was a lot packed into those few days and I absolutely loved every minute of it. 

Just a Trip is a closed-door romance with kisses only.
