Rowdy and Salem made my heart sing! Their backstory and their present lives were so interconnected.
"The New York Times and USA Today bestselling Marked Men series continues with this sizzling, sexy story of love, heartbreak, fate, and second chances.

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"--

A super hot romance with lots of heart, sexiness and style. Rowdy and Salem’s love story has to be one of my favorites in the Marked Men series!
Rowdy is book five in Jay Crownover’s Marked Men series. All the Marked Men have woven their way into my heart and I have come to love their “merry band of misfits” wholeheartedly. This author definitely delivered when it came to the execution of this book. The storyline is both sad and sweet, dealing with coming to grips with the past and beautifully intertwining it with a tender romance. It’s about letting go and embracing life because if you are able to grab hold of that second chance, you may just find a once in a lifetime kind of love….a love that may have always been there to begin with.
Rowdy and Salem have a lot of history. She knew him as a kid and was there for him in ways nobody else was. He was in love with her sister. There was always a connection but when she left, Salem left a big hole in his heart. A heart that was then shredded by her sister in a different way. When a wise mutual friend brings them back together, the connection changes. They are attracted to each other as more than friends. They have a few issues to work through but as they do, their relationship starts to build a good foundation.
I really liked how open the communication was between Rowdy and Salem. I liked the all the twists and turns, they provided drama and angst without being too much. I felt like the story had the perfect amount of drama, sweet moments, and sexy times. I highly recommend this series, I’ve loved every book. If you have never read the Marked Men…you need to read Rule!

Crownover does it again. She gave me a captivating, swoony, lovely, sweet. funny, sexy and tear-invoking novel. I am so entrenched in the MM family, that I will lose my stuff when I read Asa and it's all over. JC has gotten better and better, with each novel, at giving us bits and pieces of the other couples and letting us know how their relationships have changed and evolved, while still keeping the focus on the current couple. This book focuses on Rowdy and Salem and their second chance romance. I really enjoyed getting to know Rowdy, since we didn't really know much about him before, and how do you know love a guy with a heart that big! Great romance with enough drama to keep it interesting and plenty of the heat that we expect from the Marked Men.
