Synopsis:
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with this sizzling, sexy story of love, heartbreak, fate, and second chances.
After the only girl he ever loved told him that he would never be enough, Rowdy St. James knocked the Texas dust off his boots and set out to live up to his nickname. A good ol’ boy looking for good times and good friends, Rowdy refuses to take anything too seriously, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Burned by love once, he isn’t going to let himself trust a woman again. But that’s before his new co-worker arrives, a ghost from the past who’s suddenly making him question every lesson he ever learned.
Salem Cruz grew up in house with too many rules and too little fun—a world of unhappiness she couldn’t wait to forget. But one nice thing from childhood has stayed with her; the memory of the sweet, blue-eyed boy next door who’d been head over heels in love with her little sister.
Now, fate and an old friend have brought her and Rowdy together, and Salem is determined to show him that once upon a time he picked the wrong sister. A mission that is working perfectly—until the one person that ties them together appears, threatening to tear them apart for good.
My Review:
Rowdy by Jay Crownover
My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3 1/2 Platypires for Rowdy by Jay Crownover. After reading Nash and finding out about Salem being the next female lead in the marked men series had me ecstatic. I was so looking forward to reading a Hispanic female getting involved with one of the guys that I immediately started reading. While her Hispanic roots didn't really play a part of her story besides her curves and skin color it was still cool to see. I did like the story and I really did like Rowdy. All the Marked Men guys are great. I just felt like in this edition the story felt flat and very repetitive. I lost count how many times the origin story of Salem and Rowdy was told. I got it the first couple of times. This had me put the book down a few times. I just wasn't that engrossed. I did like seeing all the previous cast of characters and really like the set up for Asa. I'm definitely reading the next book because that ending was epic. I would highly recommend the Marked Men series. View all my reviews |
