Quickie Review-May contain spoilers, fair warning upon reading this review

So Nash is a book that I have been curious about ever since we saw the ending of the previous book where we saw the drama that was unfurling between the hero's family and coming face to face with a woman who hates him and he doesn't know why. I was really intrigued to see the true connection between our main characters and why our heroine would hate the hero so much. Nash is a hero who is far from perfect. He was wild as a teenager and really clueless. From the flashbacks we see, he wasn't intentionally harmful, just like most young teenagers. But for our heroine, who had a crush on him, and he crushed her feelings for him even though he didn't know. So we have this setup of forced proximity as Nash's dad is dying, he has had some family reveals and he is trying to figure out what a relationship with Saint can be. I really enjoyed seeing these two coming together but they definitely have some issues that make sense and I had a fun time seeing these two figuring it all out and trying to find some balance in their relationship. Had a blast with it and I am so excited for Asa's book (because that one will be wild). ( )

I do enjoy the writing of JC.....however, in this one Saint's low self esteem issues got REALLY old! I kept going because I really enjoy reading about this group of characters. ( )

Full Review on my blog!

Jay Crownover has a huge fan of her Marked Men series, I can’t get enough! Her writing is brilliant, the characters are AMAZING, I seriously want to crawl inside the book and become a part of their world. I figured that Rome would be my favorite…but nope. Nash has stolen my heart!! His story is breathtaking and beautiful. Each story Jay Crownover has written gets better and better. She reaches out of that book and grabs your heart with these characters; you can’t help but fall in love with each and every one of them.

Nash and Saint’s story was really emotional. They have a past and it’s not the best one. Nash hurt Saint and she has trouble getting past it despite the feelings she has had for him since high school. Nash has met his match in Saint. He never wanted to settle down. Sure, he is happy for all his friends, but that doesn’t mean he will ever be willing to be with someone the way his mother is with her husband. That is until he meets Saint. Saint is extremely shy and very unsure of herself in every way but her work. At the hospital she thrives. So when Nash comes rushing in with a family emergency, she doesn’t understand why now of all times she feels the need to comfort someone. Saint drove me crazy throughout the book. Nash is right there! Right there for the taking, but what is a good romance without a little chase, a little give and tug I suppose.

This book is another amazing addition to this amazing series brought to life by a motley crew of bold individuals. The level of angst was alluringly high in this one and it was interesting to see that it was the girl, in this case, that had to work harder at fixing her issues to make the relationship work. There were also some moments that completely gutted me and made me tear up. Overall I just felt it was a solid, addictive, wonderfully paced book about really seeing the person you love and being smart enough to grab a hold of that goodness before we lose it all to the stuff that doesn’t really matter in the end. I highly recommend it!

5 STARS! OF COURSE! I wouldn't expect any less. Finally a woman who most can identify with and doesn't feel like mens gift from God or acts like one. Saint was real to me in more ways than one. We've all had that insecure moment, overcame it and realized we deserve to be loved...

I love her books all of them! ( )

I feel as if I’ve been waiting for Nash by Jay Crownover forever (even though I know that’s not the case, and I’m just impatient about good books). But I have to say it was well worth the wait. Nash may be my favorite of the Marked Men series. If you haven’t read the other books, then you should definitely read them before you read Nash, otherwise everyone else’s stories will get ruined for you. But I won’t spoil any of their stories today.

Nash has got so many things going on in his life. His friends are all falling in love, getting married, and having babies (I can’t mention which friends). His friend and mentor, Phil, is ill, and that’s really taking up a lot of Nash’s energy. His mind is whirling from a big family secret that is changing the way he’s always thought about himself. And on top of all that a girl from his past, Saint, walks back into his life, and Nash doesn’t want her to leave.

Saint has been burned by Nash before, but at the same time she wants him in a way she’s never wanted anyone else. But dealing with her insecurity and the past puts a strain on their time together. Saint has to decide if she can get over the past and her hang ups to be with Nash.

I can barely even put into words how beautiful, heart wrenching, and amazing this book is. Saint is dealing with real problems that many girls can relate to. Her insecurity is debilitating; she doesn’t feel that she’s good enough for most people. She’s not sure someone like Nash is a good choice for her given their past (and to be honest she’s concerned the whole male species is going to hurt her). And her family is falling apart. Saint, will all her issues, is probably one of the most real female characters I’ve read in a while. Her flaws are those we all feel at times. She is unbelievably strong in the face of everything she’s dealing with.

And what can I say about Nash? He is irresistible in all his tattooed and pierced glory. But Nash is so much more than his beautiful eyes and his hot body. He’s strong enough to be there for everyone who needs him, even when he has more than his helping of stuff going on. When push comes to shove, he recognizes his on worth even in the face of those who believe he is worthless. And he knows how to love someone with every ounce of his being. And his patience is beyond measure.

Nash and Saint have to learn how to put the past behind them. They have to learn what love means for them. And anyone with half a heart would climb mountains to have someone love them the way Nash loves Saint.

So read the story. Be patient with Saint. Past pain has a strong influence on future decisions and behavior. And enjoy your time with Nash. I sure did ;)
