One of the videos mentioned in the previous post, "Chess Opening Jerome Gambit", presented by Main Chess, has the following game which presents a lesson for both defenders and attackers.

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ke7
If you want to show how dangerous the Jerome Gambit can be, you can use an example where Black is as careless as he thinks White is being: The attacker has just sacrificed two pieces in the "quiet game" and now moves his Queen instead of developing, so any move will do for me.
7.Qxe5+ Kf8 8.Qxc5+ Ne7
Suddenly, even the chess computers see White as better.
9.d3 d6 10.Qc3 Be6 11.O-O h6
The outlines of a Jerome attack are forming. Black's King is on the f-file, facing White's Rook, while it is clear that f2-f4-f5 is coming.
12.f4 Qd7 13.f5 Bf7 14.f6
Opening the file as soon as he can. There will be time for development.
14...gxf6 15.Qxf6 Rh7 16.Nc3 Re8
Black surrounds his King with pieces, but it will not be enough.
17.Nd5 Nxd5 18.Qg6 Ne7 19.Bxh6+ Rg7 20.Qxg7 checkmate
Nice. The vulnerable King does not survive.
