Burke Russo

I don’t do lovey dovey. Watching my four best friends trip and fall into their forever person has been both comical and confusing. When a hurricane hits Coral Pointe Inlet, it throws me into a tailspin I didn’t see coming—with a man who lives to drive me crazy. Jared, the sexy—I mean, the snarky fisherman, has been the bane of my existence for the last three years. How I find myself by his side during a difficult situation is beyond me. Realizing I may actually want to be that person for him makes me question a choice I made a long time ago. Which doesn’t make any sense because my decisions are never wrong…right?

Jared Boone

I’ve lived a simple life in Coral Pointe since the day I was born. All I need is my bait shop, my boat, my dog, and the home I’ve lived in for the past several years with the only family I have who matters. Unexpectedly, life has thrown a stone into my calm waters. Somehow, I find myself leaning on Burke, the sexy, stubborn chef of Oceanside Bar and Grill. I’ve made it my mission to bait that man every chance I get. The question is, now that I’ve got him on the hook, do I toss him back into murky waters, or is he finally ready to admit he’s been caught?

Baiting Burke is the fifth book in the Shore Thing series. It can be read as a standalone, but if you'd like to truly dive into the shenanigans between these five best friends and love being immersed in a fun, quirky small town, it's suggested the books be read in order.

I have been an artist from a very young age. From drawing cartoon characters and evolving into portraits, making jewelry, photography, and now writing. I have an amazing support system in my family and friends and couldn’t be more grateful.

I live in central New Jersey, love summers at the Jersey Shore, rock music, wine, sexy men, and laughing a lot with my amazing friends and family. Sunday dinners at my parents’ house are crazy, hysterical and you can count on a movie quote…or ten…being thrown out. Insults between siblings is how we show our love for each other!

When I’m not creating, you can find me reading books from my favorite authors. I’m a hopeless romantic, starving for passionate characters and always craving that happy ending, whether in reading or in writing my own books.

Final installment of a GREAT series!

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2023

Such a great series from Jaclyn Quinn! A great finish, rounding out the 5 friends' romances with Burke and Jared.

Burke is the grumpiest grouch of the 5 friends that include Cole, Levi, Ford, Noah, and Burke. Each of these friends for life has their own book and this is the 5th in the series. It's not my favorite of the series, but it's a strong addition. In order, I rank the books in this order:

1. Convincing Cole
2. Navigating Noah
3. Landing Levi
4. Baiting Burke
5. Flustering Ford

In Baiting Burke, Burke and Jared have been dancing around one another for 3 years. They poke and prod each other, competing to see who can get under the other's skin and have the last word. It must be exhausting for them because I was getting a little exhausted by it just reading about it! I knew it would be good once we got past the fighting and it totally was!

Jared has some issues with his family in this book - it's our first glimpse into him as more than a side character. Burke finds himself in the position of having to make the decision if he's going to continue to fight his attraction to Jared, or to finally give in and be there for him when he needs someone.

While I was getting impatient waiting for them to get over themselves (mostly it was Burke holding back), I was correct in the fact that it was going to be oh so good when they came together. Breaking down a grump's hard exterior is so satisfying! I love seeing a big tough guy shock himself by showing vulnerability and emotional connection. Burke does that in spades here... eventually! These two are on fire together - they have an attraction that cannot be ignored and is so fun to read about. Very hot, descriptive scenes of their escapades together, as well as some really emotional moments when Jared NEEDS Burke. And Burke steps right up. I was so proud of him!

This book is a must read if you've loved this series so far! It completes the picture for all the wonderful men, and gives a special epilogue that is a sweet farewell to these guys. I loved this series so much - awesome writing by Jaclyn Quinn!

I received an ARC of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review.

Oh my goodness, Jared and Burke were perfect for each other. I was waiting for them to get together from the previous books in this series!! Jared was a little too proud and found it hard to ask for help, but Burke was so stubborn that he almost missed out!! I loved this book. Can't wait to read the next book in this series!!

Three weddings and a funeral?

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023

This series is the best storytelling of found family and real family adventures that I have ever found, and I read a lot of books.

The original five friends built a real world fantasy through supporting each other and their community. All had some issues with real family, money, opportunities, and distractions. Yet the balance of skills, abilities, knowledge from college together into business together, and eventually paradise in Coral Pointe together while adding new friends and relationships to grow the wild thrill of sharing love together as a family and with real family, it is somehow the ideal mix of love, friendship, and family, only with water, boats, hurricanes, houses, hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, fishing, kites, sand, surf, dice, and Boardwalk!

Planes, trains, U-Hauls, surfboards, golf carts, walking, swimming, fishing, cookouts, sunshine, festivals, storms, parties, bars, menus, Bat-Signals, kissing booths, and marvelous family times make Coral Pointe the perfect place for weddings and snark. Even Fred likes to get caught by the Fisherboy.

Something’s biting and it’s not the the fish. I never knew baiting could be such foreplay but Burke and Jared have it down to an art, a sexy, sizzling art.

“Mine. He was mine. Honestly, he always had been on some level. My frustrating challenge. My occupier of thoughts. The tenant who’d taken up permanent residence under my skin. Just…mine.”

I will never get enough of these two. They’ve reeled me in, they cast their nets, and I’m happily caught and theirs forever. You know who else I fell in love with? The fabulous Mama Russo! We all need someone to love us like she loves her boys. Speaking of, I think stubborn may need to add another definition, or two: one beginning with B and the other J. I can only thank the goddesses of gnocchi and cannoli for their friends, their family, and for the delicious chemistry, the irresistible pull that Jared and Burke have.

Yabba dabba do, I love this amazing found family. The whole series is epic but the last parts of this book are pure gold. If I could have one wish it would be to become a Pointer and spend my days surrounded by these fantastic men and their love.

The final installment of the series involves Burke and Jared, the two guys who have been dancing around one another through the first four books.
This book deals with more sadness than the others, as Jared is losing his beloved grandfather and feeling a lot of isolation. Grumpy Burke being the one person to provide Jared support makes sense, as Burke has been keeping a close eye on Jared for several years now.
I liked these two characters and their dynamic and this book held my attention all the way through, which isn’t always a guarantee.

A really great end to this series, the chemistry is off the charts. Loved the way they all came together to stand by Jared when he lost his grandad, and Mama Russo took him under her wing especially when his own family were a complete nightmare. Highly recommend these books.

I have to admit Burke was never my favourite character. He was just so angry all the time. Reading his story and learning why has changed my mind. Jared has always been one of my favourites and his back story broke my heart. I'm so glad they both got their HEA. I'm really going to miss all the guys in Coral Pointe
