Rowdy (The Marked Men, #5)

by Jay Crownover

"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"--

Rating: 4.5 Stars, rounding up, because I love the Marked Men

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.
