Synopsis
Will their past determine their future?
Saint Ford has worked hard to achieve her childhood dream of becoming of nurse. Focused on her work and devoted to her patients, there’s no room for love. She doesn’t need a guy making waves in her calm, serene life—especially when he’s the unforgettable hottie who nearly destroyed her in high school. Dark, brooding Nash Donovan might not remember her or the terrible pain he caused. But he turned her world upside down . . . and now he’s trying to do it again.
Saint has no idea that Nash isn’t the cocky player he once was. Uncovering a devastating family secret has rocked his world, and now he’s struggling to figure out his future. He can’t be distracted by the pretty nurse he seems to meet everywhere. Still, he can’t ignore the sparks that fly between them —or how she seems so desperate to get away from him. But the funny, sweet, and drop-dead gorgeous Saint is far too amazing to give up on—especially since she’s the only thing in his life that seems to make sense.
When Nash discovers the truth about their past, he realizes he may have lost her heart before he could even fight for it. Now, Saint has to decide: is Nash worth risking herself for all over again?

Review
For those of you that have been following the Marked Men
series, you will love this book just as much if not more than the previous
ones. While it is not required, I highly
recommend reading this book in order since as with all the books in the series
the epilogue leads right into the next book.
When we last left the Marked Men family, Nash was left
reeling from the news that Phil is not his uncle but in fact his dad, a secret
that not only his parents kept from him but his step dad as well. Nash didn’t have an easy life growing
up. Under the assumption that his father
was long gone, Nash was left to be raised by Grant and his mother, people who
never wanted him and Grant made sure to give him the hardest time possible
growing up. Nash was difficult in high
school, always with his friends drinking and screwing anything that walked but
that didn’t stop Saint from loving Nash any less even if it was only from a
distance.
Nash was Saint’s first love in high school, the man she
would do anything for, but Saint was always insecure about her weight and when
she hears Nash saying nasty things about a girl he can only assume that he is
talking about her. It has left Saint
insecure and unsure of herself. Top that
off with her view in women when her dad ran off leaving her mother alone with
her and her sister, Faith and a boyfriend in college that broke her heart,
Saint is unable to allow a man near her heart.
Now a nurse in Denver, you can imagine her surprise when she
runs into Nash again at the hospital. When
she finds out his dad has cancer, Saint wants to be there for him despite the
fact that she still hates him for the way he treated her in high school. Saint quickly becomes a comfort to Nash
always being there for him when he needs her and supporting him since as a
nurse she can see that he needs a friend right now. But Nash doesn’t want a friend, he cares
about Saint and wants a shot at actually being with her.
Saint doesn’t fully trust him, Nash has too many things he
has to deal with right now, and as their passion grows, Saint does everything
she can to keep him at arm’s length.
Nash will have to fight to keep a grasp on her and deal with his dad
dying and opening a new tattoo shop that his dad wants him to open. Can Saint ever get passed what happened in
high school and learn to love Nash before it’s too late?
If there is one thing I always look forward to it’s the
announcement of the next Marked Men book.
All the characters are unique and unforgettable and with each book you
not only get to know better a new couple but also get to follow the characters
from the previous book. All of them have
had difficult pasts and Nash and Saint are not different than the first in the
fact that they have experienced both heartbreak and hardships in their
lives. Ms. Crownover writes complex
characters that you cannot but help but fall in love with over and over as the
time goes on. I look forward to seeing
more of the past members of the Marked family and see what is in store for the
future. Rowdy’s story sounds amazing and
I cannot wait to get my hands on that book, I am also secretly hoping for more
of Royal. (Fingers crossed). 5 amazing stars for another hit out of the
park!

About the Author
I'm supposed to share interesting details about myself so that my readers get to know me so here we go in no particular order: I'm an natural redhead even though I haven't seen my real hair color in years, I'm a big fan of tattoos and have a half sleeve on either arm and various other pieces all over the place, I've been in the bar industry since I was in college and it has always offered interesting insight into how men and women interact with each other, I have 3 dogs that are all crazy, I live in Colorado and love the snow, I love music and in all reality wish I could be a rock star not a writer or a bartender but I have zero talent so there is that. I love to write, love to read and all I'm interested in is a good story with interesting characters that make the reader feel something. Thanks for taking the time to check my stuff out...
