Jenkins Family #2
All You'll Ever Need
A woman wants what a woman wants…
Quick-witted, sassy, construction worker, Jada (JJ) Jenkins, loves the finer things in life. She’d rather be in designer clothes and stilettos than sporting steel-toe boots and a hard hat. She hates getting dirty and worst, sweating. Jada’s ready to quit her job and marry a wealthy man who’s able to support her shopping addiction and her expensive taste. She’s not looking for love, only a comfortable lifestyle. What she doesn’t expect to find is a blue-eyed hunk with dimples and a disarming ability to throw her off her game.
For professional football player Zack Anderson, its love at first sight when he meets Jada. The fact that she’s a construction worker is even better. He wants a woman who’s not afraid to get down and dirty, someone who enjoys fishing, hiking and the great outdoors. He thinks he’s found that in Jada.
Before he loses his heart, will Zack discover that the last thing on this feisty steel-toe-boot-wearing-beauty’s mind is getting her hands dirty with love?

This is book 2 in the "Jenkins Family" series and this is Jada and Zack's story.
Jada is the Prima Donna and Princess cousin. She loves clothes, jewelry, fancy cars and high class men. Her dream is to marry rich so she no longer has to work being a sheet metal worker in the family business. Jada has big dreams and no one is going to deter her from them.
Zack Anderson, NFL Star Running Back for the Cincinnati Cougars is loving life and having a great time. He is at the wedding of his best friend Craig who married Toni Jenkins and his sees her cousin Jada and is instantly smitten. Zack wants to get to know Jada, so he asks her to dance and they talk a little and Jada fibs about being the outdoors type of woman to get Craig even more interested in her. It seemed to work as after calling her she agrees to go out with him and their first date is to a farm to get pick fruits and vegetables for the less fortunate. Clearly Jada has no concept and flubs through this date and three other dates until she blurts out the truth about not doing things outdoors and how she lied which pisses Zack off completely. He takes her home and doesn't speak to her afterwards.
Jada knows she has to apologize but the thought of Zack not wanting to talk with her is killing her. But some intervention from Zack's best friend and Jada's family helps to break the ice and get them talking again. This time being able to tell Zack the truth and him being grateful for her doing so. Zack and Jada give it another go and they hit it off big time. Zack has admitted to having trust issues since his last girlfriend told all kinds of lies that almost made him lose his career but the truth eventually came out but it has left a bitter taste in his mouth, so honesty is a big deal for him. Jada doesn't want to fall for another man because the last one lied about everything and crushed her heart so her reservations were just as high.
Zack and Jada spending more time together, causes these two to fall head over heels in love. Zack is everything a man is supposed to be and then some, Jada is everything a woman is supposed to be and then some. As these two are working on building a life together, Jada's insecurities about her being good enough for Zack rears its ugly head after hearing Zack's lazy brother talk down about her. Zack doesn't take to kindly about anybody talking about his Jada and just because your blood doesn't mean you still won't get beat down which happened to Shane. But the damage at least in Jada's mind was done.
Zack has to work to get Jada to be with him again, Jada has to work on herself to be not only the woman for Zack but become the woman she can be.
This is a wonderful story of two people, very opposite coming together to fall head over heels in love with each other. Zack the quintessential gentleman who knew the moment Jada was the woman for him and Jada the superficial spoiled, high maintenance woman, who fell in love with a man who finally saw who she really is on the inside.
Author Sharon C. Cooper has another hit on her hands and I am so glad to be reading the continuation of the "Jenkins Family" series.

I feel that the author developed a nice love story. Initially I was not sure if I could connect with Jada and Zack's story. Not because of the author, but because of the type of person Jada was. But as the story progressed, I found myself drawn to them more and hoping for a happy ending.
Jada was a confident and all about me type of person. She knew what she wanted in life and went after it. What I liked about the story as it developed was observing the growth Jada experienced.
Zack was a great guy. What I liked about him was he knew what he wanted and went after it as well. He was persistent, but not in an over bearing way.
The dates they went on were cute. Not the usual type of dates you'd expect.
Jada's relationship with her cousins is awesome. Her relationship with her grandparents I loved it. As well as the advice they provided.
All in all it was a nice story and I think one that any reader would enjoy.

Jada and Zack are my favorite right now. This couple made me laugh. They made me cry and then they made me laugh some more!The spoiled Princess and the rich football player ...... Oh my, if you haven't read this series yet, you are truly missing out. This is a great series. Can't wait for Christine's story next. Ms. Sharon, I didn't want to put these books down and I hated when I got to the last page. YOU ROCK!! :)

The Jenkins beauties are back and in the starring role is the beautiful, Jada “JJ” Jenkins. The self-centered, self-absorbed, prima donna, shopaholic, sheet metal worker has one thing on her mind: meet and marry rich.
In comes Zack Anderson, professional football player for the Cincinnati Cougars. From the moment he meets Jada he is interested in her and more so after she reveals a little white lie. Once she decides to give him a chance, he fails the first date test, yet she continues to date him. Once she had enough of his “dates”, which were fashioned around her white lie, she puts her foot down and is ready to walk away. What Jada does not realize is what she thought she wanted is not what really wants or needs at all.
Zack, who is accomplished on and off the field, knows what it is like to be taken advantage of by gold diggers and even family members, but he sees Jada in a different, yet genuine light. Can Jada reveal her true self without scaring Zack away? Can she accept that Zack loves her, regardless of her flaws? Can Zack convince her that he is fine with her wanting to have the world at her feet and the best that life has to offer?
I love how the writer gives us a glimpse into the Jenkins ever-growing clan and leaves the readers wanting more. There are several more beauties who will be soon connected; the who and when are hinted, so we duly wait.

Love it.
So loved Jada story. I thought she would get the most high priced wedding of the century. I love her family especially her grandma, she didn't play. I would love her family's reaction to her wedding to Zack. Now all I want to know is what's going on with Luke and CJ. Anxiously awaiting the next book.

All I need
Zack and Jada meet at a wedding and it goes crazy from there. I laughed at all the accidents that occurred on their dates. I didn't think the relationship would last. I enjoyed this Jenkins story and look forward to the next book in the series.

I liked this book. The family is close knit and works together. The guys are passionate, compassionate and good looking. What else does a reader need.

All you'll ever need
I wanted to give this 5 stars. Really I did. I like this author and her stories. I like the whole Jenkins family with the cousins running the construction company.
I loved Zack. He was truly a likable hero. But I have to say I could not stand Jada. Ugh. What a spoiled materialistic brat. Everything was about her. I liked what her grandparents told her. She just wasn't likable for me. I almost wanted him to reconcile with Leslie of all people. He bent over backwards for her. I thought it was over top that he bought her all those clothes and accessories just to make her happy. I just cringed. To me it sent wrong message. But love does crazy things and that man was head over heels in love with her and would do anything to make her happy. I hope they make it, really I do. Because in real life a man wouldn't probably put up with a person like Jada. She did redeem herself towards end, but not nearly enough for me. Looking forward to Christina and Luke.

"All You'll Ever Need" by Sharon C. Cooper
My Rationalization:
"This was another good Jenkins Family series book 2 about the five granddaughters of the Jenkins family who run their family's construction company. Cousin Jada Jenkins (JJ) is the metal sheet worker who hates to get dirty, loves expensive thing and plans to marry wealthy."
I enjoyed the story of Jade and Zack. It was quite interesting seeing spoil Jade turn into a decent person and learning that life was not about just her. And to see how Zack was able to teach JJ about what real love was all about and the keyword being of trust in finding their happiness. I loved how strong the Jenkins family values ran so high in the story. Now, I will be starting the next series...'Tempting the Artist' book 3.

Unexpected love
It feels oh so right when he's with her, it is like Zack can't live without Jada. He can't deny that the way she makes him feel means that this wonderful woman has to be a part of his forever life. Jada was not expecting to fall in love, she actually did not want to, the pain of a broken heart was still to real. But, Zack and his weird but fulfilling dates, engaging conversation and sweet love won her heart. Totally enjoyed this novel. Looking forward to the next in the series!

Awwww!
What a entertaining story, this book is better than the first two in the series. "Best Woman for the Job" and "Still the Best Woman for the Job". Love knows no boundaries and can tear down emotional walls. The author's sayings take me back to my grandmother, from Louisiana sayings. The author has become one of my favorites, she has a demonstrative and eloquent way of describing the scenes that feels real.
The author's creation of the Jenkins family has me wanting to read," Jenkins & Sons Construction" series before, "Atlanta's Finest" series.

More than I expected
This book was more than I expected and I really enjoyed it. As much as I didn’t want to like Zack, I couldn’t help but fall for 😂as Jada said a little white chocolate . Jada is true to the Jenkins family shenanigans. I think I laughed harder at her the. I did in book one.
Zack and Jade had their share of obstacles that seemed to hinder their relationship, with Jada being a part of the problem. I just happy that Zack was determined to marry her no matter the cost

I enjoyed this nice love story. I wasn't sure I would like it in the beginning due to the Jade character, but she grew on me. Watching her mature and not be so materialistic was good. Sharon Cooper did a wonderful job writing her character. I was happy they received their happily ever after. This is the first book I've read in the Jenkins Family Series so I will be backtracking and reading about the other female cousins/granddaughters in the family.

Really enjoyed this book. Have read most of the Jackson family series. Like how author intermingles the characters and stories. Live strong family values and how they stick together. Also like the varied love interests involved.
Good story lines and character development. Like the love conquers all concept.

Great Story between Zack and Jada. Liked the way Had a tried to not have feelings for Zack. Aka knew from the time he saw Jada he knew she was the one for him. Story has some comical points in the beginning. Loved all the characters in the story. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a love and funny story .

A Great read. Jade is off the chain with her high expectations and she's definitely high maintenance. Zack for all the money he has is low maintenance and a very giving person. I Love how they came together and decided what"s most important.

Changed for the better
This book was really enjoyable, it showed how self-centered JJ was but because of Zachary's love she grew up. She turned into a very compassionate woman who made her family proud. I'm very happy for Toni & Jada.

What’s greater than having your life planned out and figuring out that no so. To finally realizing that things have changed. You want to be loved and want more than material thing

Zach had Jada out on a limb there for a while she tried to hang and finally came clean and he still loved her when he found out she wasn't who he thought they're a nice couple.
