Book Blitz: “Knowing Jack” by Rachel Curtis + Book Giveaway!
Publication date: January 17th 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Synopsis:
I am not a bitch, although people like to say I am. I kept our relationship secret. I’m not responsible for telling the university administrators about it, but a lot of students still blame me for getting their favorite professor fired.
I am not a drama queen, although everyone thinks I am now. When I got a few nasty messages, I just deleted them. When I got the threat, I assumed it was someone being stupid. I still think that’s all it was. My parents worry, though, so they hired me a bodyguard. Now Jack follows me around, intimidating everyone who approaches me and looking obnoxiously hot.
This is what I am. I’m Chloe. I’m a twenty-year-old art history major. Kind of shy, although I pretend not to be. Stubborn enough to stay here for my senior year, even though everyone hates me.
And I’m stuck with Jack.
He calls me “Princess,” but I’m not a princess either.
Knowing Jack is a New Adult contemporary romance and includes adult content and language. The plot of the book is fully resolved at the end, but the last page includes a hanging teaser for the next book in the series.

say you don’t have much leeway on that account. You don’t have any cool
fighting skills. You haven’t been a SEAL. You haven’t been in jail. You don’t
have a tattoo. Not very bad-ass, are you?”

standards, though, and it’s getting all excited about the idea of Jack seeing
me like that.

except Jack and his big body and his strong hands and his rough jaw and that
deep, hot, knowing look in his eyes.

I don’t really want him to go, but that’s kind of hard to admit. “I thought you
