Maggie's job as a videographer takes her around the world. She tells people's stories, especiallythose of impoverished children. That's when she feels most alive, like she's making the worldbetter.
But when a secret from her past resurfaces, Maggie gets a call that sends her home. Her daddesperately needs her help. Her estranged sister has run off, leaving 8-year-old Riley in his care.She returns reluctantly, hoping to help her neice. There she reconnects with Cooper--a onceawkward and shy, now handsome, veterinarian. Her feelings skyrocket when she's with him, butshe's afraid if she shows him her true self, he'll reject her.
An honest, hilarious journey that will transform Maggie--if she just learns to trust more and fearless.

Oh, Jenny, first off, you've got so much talent in what you do! *Sigh* Seriously.
I remember the first time I picked up a novel by this author. Everyone was mentioning how funny it was so I was thinking it'd be a chick-lit type of story.
Boy, oh boy was I wrong.
And even now, three books later I can truly say that Jenny's talent doesn't fail to amaze me. Once again.
There's no doubt about it, this book is funny or more like hilarious! But Jenny also knows how to involve (in one work) very profound lessons, relatable characters, an admirable style of writing and overall a very-well thought conception behind the story.
The romance in this is the white-hot kind that will have readers fanning themselves if they read in the middle of the night. The hero Connor is a tall, tender-hearted, funny guy who almost never loses his cool. Maggie has the heart of lioness (she's a very lovely character) and I have no doubt that you'll enjoy witnessing the depth of her beauty unravel in the story as she learns to step out in faith.
What an adventure! What a writer!
I was left wanting nothing more and nothing less. And even now I am recalling passages in the story I'd like to re-read.
I highly recommend her!

Jeeny B. Jones is an awesome writer! She has the ability to write a book that the reader feels like they are a part of. I felt like I could relate to everyone of the characters and I felt like I was right there beside them going through things just as they were.
This book deal with lots of issues that sometimes we as Christians tend to take a backseat approach to. That is not what God wants us to do and this book shows how one woman was able to deal with her life issues and became closer to God.
Awsome book!

I think I found a new favorite author! This book is quite funny with subtle wit and really deals with the issues that we all have with fear in one way or another. The author keeps the book very interesting and I looked forward to my time when I got to sit down and read it! Not every book is like that, by the way, so the author did a great job. You'll enjoy it!

The cover of Just Between You and Me notes that it is "A novel of losing fear and finding God." That statement tidily sums up the main premise of the story, which teaches readers important lessons about life and faith, while maintaining a refreshing since of realism and humor. I generally gravitate to the historical Christian fiction genre because I often find modern fiction unrelatable and at times too heavy on sarcasm and too light on inspiration. Although Just Between You and Me contains sarcastic banter between the characters, I found it enjoyable and engaging. I immediately connected with the main character Maggie. Since the story is written in first person, I found it easy to understand Maggie's fears, struggles, and personality quirks.
Siri Mitchell's The Cubicle Next Door is responsible for drawing me into modern Christian fiction, and Jenny B. Jones' novels Just Between You and Me and Save the Date have just earned spots right next door in my book collection. Just Between You and Me is a novel that I highly recommend to fellow readers, and I am adding Jenny B. Jones to my favorite author list right now...

I really enjoyed this novel as it was not too heavy of a read but was still able to hold my interest. The tense in which it was written took some time to adjust to, however, it was a satisfying read.

I loved it! It was so good, I finished it in 2 days! Jenny B. Jones has a way with words that will keep you reading until you're done. I laughed out loud several times. It would make a great romatic comedy movie, but it was also tender and serious at times. Just like real life!

I really enjoyed this book!! I laughed out loud a bunch of times and cried at one point as well. It's not very often I find a book that does that for me. I can't wait to see what Mrs. Jones does with these characters. Will there be more?? I hope so!! Thanks for such an amazing book!! Love it!!

There are some books you might remember for a week, a month, or even a year or two.However, THIS, is a book you will remember for a lifetime. No wonder it was chosen as a Women of Faith fiction pick of 2009! If youve read the other books Jenny has written, you know its going to be full of hilarious situations and dialogue. Yet Jenny still manages to maintain the mood when the scene is serious.Yes, its a romance, but its also a bit more, its funny, endearing, sincere, and above all, fear-conquering. This is one Ill be keeping on the shelf and reading over and over again

Reviews By Ann
Jones jumps genre into adult romance with the aplomb of a professional ballet dancer. Her knack for flawlessly juggling humor and lifes grittier issues now enhances the grown-up womans romance. Jones teen readers have leapt with her into the adult market without a hitchif the teens I know are any indication. Jones will, no doubt, add a legion of adults to her following. Bravo! For any who wondered if Jones could master a full-on romance. She totally brings it.

It's not often that you find an author who makes you laugh, think, fall in love and challenges your faith all in one novel. But Jenny B. Jones does that every time. Just Between You and Me delivers the same.Maggie Montgomery is an adventurous cinematographer. She is fearless in work, and in recreation. When she returns home to help her family through a time of crisis, she faces memories of her past mistakes, mishaps, and life. Everything she tried to forget comes back. And conflicts with Connor, the local veterinarian and most eligible of bachelors, challenge her to face the one thing she does fear. This is a beautiful love story ripe with human frailties, failures, hopes, and faith. As Maggie tries to help her ten-year-old nice, Riley, through the difficulty of her mother's abandonment, she must let go of her own fears. Maggie and Connor must learn to trust God for all they need and each other for love. I love the way Jenny can make you laugh out loud and touch your heart at the same time. Women of Faith picked well to add Jenny B. Jones to their list of authors.

I have read all of Jenny B. Jones books, and Just Between You and Me is now my favorite! Dont get me wrong, I absolutely loved the other ones as well, but this book was a great mixture of both the normal sass along with a great message about faith. It blows me away how this author can write all of her books that make me catch myself laughing out loud! Just Between You and Me had a lot of funny one-liners! However, it also made me reevaluate my walk with the Lord, and enabled me to realize that I also dont always give everything over to Him.I would HIGHLY recommend Just Between You and Me to anyone at any age. You will thoroughly enjoy this book and won't be able to put it down until the end. You will love it!

Review 16 for Just Between You and Me
Overall Rating:
Date:September 29, 2009
I was introduced to Jenny B. Jones' books earlier this year when I read So Not Happening, which is considered YA but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just Between You and Me is written for adult women, a Women of Faith book from Thomas Nelson and I was very eager to dive into reading it.It is the story of Maggie Montgomery, a cinematographer who seems unflappable, except when it comes to her family. She has to return to her hometown of Ivy, Texas to face some bad memories and challenging family situations. She finds herself having to care for her ten year old niece and having to deal with an annoying town vet named Conner.I love Jones' style of weaving humor into her books. Her characters are always so interesting and engaging. Also, I love the way Jones handled something that most people have experienced: crazy family members! Jones explores the family dynamic in a very real way. She also shows that no matter how dysfunctional a family, love covers a multitude of sins.Jones has eared herself a slot on my repeat-buy author list. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

Jenny B. Jones has done it again! And her move from YA to women's fiction brings her humorous yet touching stories to a whole new audience. I laughed out loud many times while reading this well woven story, but I was also moved by the characters' struggles and search for faith that overcomes fear. The hero and heroine are memorable, and young Riley really grabbed my heart. It's a page-turner for sure!

Jenny, Jenny who can I turn toYou give me something I can hold on toOkay, aside from the fact that those 2 lines are a mini tribute to Tommy Tutone and a famous phone number, they are true. I look forward to every book Jenny B. Jones writes and she has yet to let me down. First off a great YA series, the Katie Parker series, and then she follows that up with So Not Happening the first of The Charmed Life series. Admittedly they are both considered YA series (but come on, she's a high school teacher and she knows her audience very well!) but I have thoroughly enjoyed them. I was curious to see how her first turn at women's fiction went, you know, the whole if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of thing... I'm so glad she decided to fix it.Jenny takes some tough subjects - abandonment, mental disease, suicide (?), forgiveness and bitterness and does an amazing thing by adding some incredible characters (Maggie is wonderful and you can feel the struggle she is going through in trying to protect herself and also do the right thing, and don't get me started on Riley and how she tries so hard to put up a wall so she won't get hurt again but she just wants to be loved) throwing in some good humor and topping it off with wonderful realism (the relationship between Maggie and her dad and seeing her reaction to how he treats Riley now was so real that I couldn't believe it!) and she winds up with an amazing story. I wish this wasn't a stand alone book, but I think it is. If not, I really hope to see Maggie Montgomery in print again someday, what a gal!

I like to read a book about family relationships. So I followed the growth of the relationship between Maggie and her estranged niece Riley. Hidden secrets come to light as the story progresses. And I love a puzzle. Maggie's Christian growth is very much a part of the story. Living down her teenaged past is another thread. This story is a message of hope and grace. No wonder it was given the stamp of a "Woman of Faith Fiction."

Review 20 for Just Between You and Me
Overall Rating:
Date:September 10, 2009
Just Between You and Me by Jenny B. Jones is a powerful novel about living without fear and learning to trust God. Maggie Montgomery has made a career of running away. As a cinematographer she also views the world at a safe remove without having to actually interact with it. Twelve years after she left her hometown of Ivy, Texas, her father calls demanding she return to help out with her niece, Riley. Maggie has spent years avoiding returning to Ivy and all that it holds for her: her father's cold shoulder, her sister's bitter rage, and her mother's death that haunts them all. She goes home for Riley's sake, just for a few days, but her departure keeps getting delayed as God works on her heart through Riley's brokenness and handsome vet Connor's romantic attention. Whenever I see "Women of Faith Fiction" on the front cover of a novel, I know that I'm in for a treat, but Jones' stands out even in that elite group. Maggie and Connor have some of the best repartee I've ever read. They zing each other, even as they can't seem to stay apart. While the plot may be familiar: career girl returns home to face a family crisis and find romance, Jones' dialogue and appealing characters make this a real page-turner. Every sentence is carefully crafted: Because I've seen the world. But sometimes I wonder...has it ever seen me? Beautifully written with humor, romance, and faith; this book has it all.
