Synopsis:
Jay Crownover’s New York Times and USA Today bestsellingMarked Men series continues with the much anticipated story of southern charmer and certified criminal Asa Cross.
Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one luscious arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.
Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.
A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.
Michele's Review:
"We were marked and had been marked in unforgettable and forever ways. We were all better men for it. Marked men."
A wonderful ending to an unforgettable series. These Marked Men and women have woven their way into my heart, and their stories will stay with me for a very long time.
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Asa. I didn't like him very much after the little bit I saw of him in previous books. But I'm all about second chances. I figured if Rome liked him and trusted him, I could too. And the southern charmer won me over.
Asa doesn't make things easy, but Royal is determined to get to him. She sees the good in him that he doesn't even believe is there. I loved watching them learn to live and love and trust together.
The epilogue was perfection. It left me smiling, with tears in my eyes. I'm going to miss the Marked Men and women, but these books are ones that I am sure that I'll reread again and again.
Bravo, Jay Crownover!
5 stars!!
