Synopsis (Goodreads):
He's big and green and looking for a mate...

Jackie works as hard as she can to provide for her younger sister, but they’re barely surviving. When she comes home to find that her sister has traded their COW (Comestible Organic Wafer machine) to an alien trader in return for a worthless bean, she is both worried and hurt. She thought she could trust the intriguing male hidden behind the forbidding armor.

When a giant beanstalk grows overnight, Jackie is desperate enough to climb to the top and demand the return of her COW. Instead, she finds a whole new world - and a very large surprise. Beneath the armor is a massive alien who seems to be as much plant as man.

Cormac is enchanted by the little human female who trades with him each quarter and makes his sap rise. He devises a plan to bring her into his domain, even though he knows he may not be able to keep her. But now that she’s here, how can he let her go?

A big green alien, a feisty heroine, an evil storekeeper, and some helpful plants - this sweet and steamy fairy tale is not the story you remember!
Thoughts on Jackie and the Giant: A sweet, sexy twist on the Jack and the Beanstalk fairy tale where Jackie gets a VERY happy ending, if you know what I mean. HA! Really, though, both Jackie and Cormac end up in their happy place and that's what I'm here for, so I am pleased.

ANYWAY. So Jackie and her sister are doing their thing on their homestead (to be honest, Jackie's doing what she needs to do to keep them alive while Bella is...kind being an entitled little sponge of a sister, but so it goes, right?) when things take a turn. In her desperation, Jackie does the unthinkable and climbs up the beanstalk that grew overnight and ends up in an alien landscape with one sexy hunk of and alien.

On his end, Cormac has enjoyed the few hours he gets to spend with Jackie every few months on market day and desperately wants to find a way to give her everything she needs to thrive and survive. While he knows chances are slim she'll choose him, he goes all in when she makes the choice to climb to his realm and THINGS HAPPEN. Sexy things. Sexy things that both Jackie and Cormac enjoy immensely.

NICE.

We have a sexy fairy tales come to life, a kind-hearted heroine, an honorable hero, a sister who did NOT get her just desserts (but she did get stuck with that jerkface, so maybe she did get them after all), and a very happily ever after for most everyone involved. GOOD TIMES!
