Better When He's Brave by Jay Crownover

Better When He's Brave (Welcome to the Point, #4)

by Jay Crownover

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover's third novel in her sexy, thrilling Welcome to the Point series, a woman's search for repentance leads her to the one man from her past she can't forget as they join forces to save their city-and the explosive love neither can live without. Titus King sees the world in black and white. Right and wrong. Which is why as a teenager he left behind the only family he'd ever known to make a better life for himself. Now a police detective in one of the worst cities in the country, he can't deny his life has turned into a million different shades of gray. The new criminal element in The Point has brought vengeance and destruction right to Titus's front door, and the difference between right and wrong is nothing compared to keeping those he loves alive. To add to his already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has made her way back to town, and she might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy trying to destroy the Point because he needs her-in more ways than one. Reeve knows all about how ruthless this new threat to destroy The Point can be...and instead of running away, she wants to help.
She has a lot to repent for and saving the city, plus the hot cop that she hasn't been able to forget might just be the only way she can finally find some inner peace. With an entire city poised on the brink of war, Titus and Reeve stand in the crossfire-and it will take two brave souls to fight for the ultimate love.

Another solid addition to this series, which has totally won me over. Titus was so much more complicated than I thought, and he and Reeve were not a most-likely-to couple, but they worked. There was just something about these two together, and the way Titus was with Reeve. Once he was in, he was all in. I loved that. This book was also a culmination of the trilogy. The big mystery baddie was revealed, and all our favorite Point residents were working together towards a common goal.

Crownover did such an incredible job painting this fairly grim world, but she infused it with hope. A hope for more and for a better tomorrow. I also love that she allowed her flawed characters to redeem themselves, because everyone needs a reminder that sometimes you make bad choices, but you can rise back up from them.

Overall: Another gritty and sexy addition to the Point series
