Review – Rowdy (Marked Men #5) by Jay Crownover

Emotional, smart and sexy! ~ Ashley, Guilty Pleasures

Description:
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.

This book has reignited my love for this series. Nash was difficult for me with Saint’s passive aggressiveness. Salem was an entirely different heroine. First, she was slightly older than Rowdy which was hot. Second, she was very direct with Rowdy about her feelings. This was a very strong female character driven book for me which is a breathe of fresh air.

This series is about the family you make and chose for yourself. These Marked Men and their ladies are a tight group. I look forward to seeing some of the other characters story. Also, we got to check in with the other couples and see life for them after their HEA.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jay in Las Vegas and she is awesome! I let her know how much I enjoyed this series and she couldn’t be nicer! Next up is bad boy Asa and I can’t wait!!
