September Reading List Day Fourteen: “Marked Men” Series by Jay Crownover | Will Write For Boots



Review: Rowdy - Book #5 Marked Men Series - Jay Crownover - October 2014

Bus rides are great for reading, especially if you are like me and can read on a moving object. I was scrolling through my Kindle Paperwhite trying to decide what to read and thought I would take a walk down memory lane back into the world of Marked Men by Jay Crownover. I have read some of this series and her others years ago and loved them. These were the books of the world of New Adult Romance before the market got saturated with self-publishing. This was the beginning of a world where I found that books had just that something little extra about them. The book starts with the first # meeting of the two main characters Salem and Rowland aka Rowdy when Salem is 15/16 and Rowdy is 10/11 years old. Salem had to escape the small town and so she left behind her sister Poppy and Rowdy. Now years later, the two have ended up in the same place a tattoo studio called Marked Men run by Nash. Salem has been offered the role of helping manage the tattoo shop and has some ideas on how to make it better. Can Rowdy and Salem work together, or is Rowdy not ready to love again and have that love leave him as everyone he gets close to just leaves? I loved this series and just wanted to give Rowdy a big hug as there is brokenness but underneath you can tell he is a softie and a genuine nice guy that you just want to wrap in cotton wool and tell him, it's ok I am not going anywhere. I did love this book and it was great to be reunited with characters, I hadn't read in years.  I am also glad Salem stood up to her parents and put her dad in his spot like he deserved - the bastard. If you love tattooed men/ females, new adult romance, and a bit of grit and edginess - then you will love the Marked Men series by Jay Crownover.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
