Nash was a bit sadder than the other Marked Men stories, and I loved how he wore his heart on the outside for everyone to see.
The fourth book in the scorching hot NEW YORK TIMES bestselling MARKED MEN New Adult series
Nash Donovan, tattooist and good-time guy, never knew his father. Instead, he was brought up by his Uncle Phil, the best role model and mentor a guy could have. But when Phil is rushed to hospital and reveals he's at the end stages of lung cancer, he wants Nash to know the truth. Reeling from the family secret Phil has let slip, Nash needs something to hold on to - and the nurse with the beautiful grey eyes taking care of Phil seems remarkably familiar...
Saint Ford doesn't know what to think when Nash crashes back into her life. They went to school together what feels like a million years ago and although she feels - and looks - very different, she can't tell if Nash is still the same guy: the guy who teased and bullied her way back when and who she vowed never to forgive.
But Nash is impossible to stay away from. From his flame-tattooed head to his multiple piercings, and his all-round good guy attitude, he's unlike anyone Saint has ever known - does she still carry a flame for the first guy to steal her heart? And can she forgive him - and herself - for the mistakes of the past?

Jay Crownover has a huge fan of her Marked Men series, I can’t get enough! Her writing is brilliant, the characters are AMAZING, I seriously want to crawl inside the book and become a part of their world. I figured that Rome would be my favorite…but nope. Nash has stolen my heart!! His story is breathtaking and beautiful. Each story Jay Crownover has written gets better and better. She reaches out of that book and grabs your heart with these characters; you can’t help but fall in love with each and every one of them.
Nash and Saint’s story was really emotional. They have a past and it’s not the best one. Nash hurt Saint and she has trouble getting past it despite the feelings she has had for him since high school. Nash has met his match in Saint. He never wanted to settle down. Sure, he is happy for all his friends, but that doesn’t mean he will ever be willing to be with someone the way his mother is with her husband. That is until he meets Saint. Saint is extremely shy and very unsure of herself in every way but her work. At the hospital she thrives. So when Nash comes rushing in with a family emergency, she doesn’t understand why now of all times she feels the need to comfort someone. Saint drove me crazy throughout the book. Nash is right there! Right there for the taking, but what is a good romance without a little chase, a little give and tug I suppose.
This book is another amazing addition to this amazing series brought to life by a motley crew of bold individuals. The level of angst was alluringly high in this one and it was interesting to see that it was the girl, in this case, that had to work harder at fixing her issues to make the relationship work. There were also some moments that completely gutted me and made me tear up. Overall I just felt it was a solid, addictive, wonderfully paced book about really seeing the person you love and being smart enough to grab a hold of that goodness before we lose it all to the stuff that doesn’t really matter in the end. I highly recommend it!
Check out my reviews of the rest of the series:

Saint was a very interesting match for Nash. She was slightly damaged with esteem issues. She was an odd choice, indeed, but we also saw her grow and change and emerge a butterfly ready to properly love our Nash. We also met a few new women -- Royal and Salem. Both seem like promising additions to the "family".
Be prepared to shed tears. I cried for three stretches during this book, both happy and sad tears. There are some tough moments and JCrownover did a great job conveying that emotion. I had some serious feels.
And finally, I loves these books, because, although you could read each as a stand-alone, if you read them in order, you get to check in and see how some our favorite couples are progressing, and I adore getting those extra peeks into their lives.

Jay Crownover has a gift of creating relatable characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. Nash is a genuinely good guy who has been dealt a terrible hand who is just trying to make the best of a horrible situation. He is honest to a fault and always tries to take the time to make Saint feel appreciated. Saint is dealing with issues from her past and has worked hard to overcome everything that she is gone through. I really admired her strength, although I did want to shake her a couple of times because she seemed stagnant with regard to her past issues. I cannot say enough good things about this book; it was probably one of the best that I have read this year with the perfect combination of great characters and heat to keep the story going.
