Better When He's Brave

This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.

Introduction
Better When He's Brave is the final book in the "Welcome to the Point" trilogy. I absolutely loved this book so dearly and really the whole "Point" books are spectacular. I just couldn't get enough of this one here. There is something about how this author has written these books that just appeal to me so much! I love the way that these books are edgy contemporary romances. They are borderline dark romance, but I wouldn't necessarily call them straight out dark romance or even contemporary romance, its like the marvelous in between of the two sub genres. Better When He's Brave is a story of enemies to lover and forbidden love. Its not straight out show more enemies to lovers persay, more like they are on opposite sides of the tracks, and the heroine is needing to be redeemed and everyone around them doesn't want the hero and heroine together. But its so well done. But if you can, read these books in order.

Summary
Better When He's Brave is a story of Titus and Reeve. Who have building intimacy growing between them. But Reese has made some awful mistakes, that has caused harm to some innocents and she has come back to the point to redeem the past mistakes and bring the true villain of the story to justice if she can. Titus is a police detective and he is determined to bring down their enemy who also happens to be connected to his family who has a vow of vengeance. So he joins forces with Reeve to bring him down but as they work together, something more develops between them.

My Outlook
This book was so fantastic! I just love this book and how the romance was developed. Unlike most darker books, this does not feature a antihero, but a anti-heroine! I actually don't remember Reeves that much from the previous books, since I read the first two books quite a while ago. But as you read throughout this story, you get familiar with what happened in previous books. As she doesn't have too many friends, but we also see a connection to Honor and Nassir's book which was so much fun. As we see what drives Honor away from The Point. But the focus of the story is what is building and has been building between Reeves and Titus. I just loved seeing these two find their way together and especially in seeing our heroine go about redemption. Now I was a bit confused about the heroine. Because the first half of the story she keeps thinking about this secret plan she has but nothing really happens with the secret plan so that was a bit confusing and didn't make sense to me. I am definitely excited to explore more of this author because I have just loved everything I have read from this author!

Overall View
I found Better When He's Brave to be a fabulous installment that won my heart quickly! Its a story of personal redemption, rising above how others view you, and doing what is right when it counts the most.

Just when this series was starting to really heat up.... it's over? Say it isn't so...
Ever since the first book, I've been waiting for Titus to get his story and boy did this one deliver. I was on pins and needles from the first page and found myself sadly disappointed when I read the last word. I know there is a spin off series in the works, but there are a couple of secondary characters included in book 2 and then again in this one that I really want to see get their own love story.
So sit back and enjoy this great book in a great series.
Happy Reading!

“People that fell in love in the Point had to do so knowing it was a battle to stay in love. Everything here was a fight, and in a dangerous place full of dangerous people, love was often the only thing people were willing to do the right thing for.” - Titus King

Titus King lives in a bad world where a lot of the bad people that live in it are his friends and family. Just because they chose that life Titus fights with all his might to stay on the right side of the law as a police detective in the Point.

Reeve Black also grew up in the Point and had a decent childhood until someone murdered her sister. Her need for revenge against that man made her owe a favor to the devil himself and she's been paying for that mistake ever since. show more

Titus and Reeve certainly from an outside view dont look like they would be a match. Even though Titus doesnt agree with the choices Reeve has made which almost got his brother's girlfriend killed he is able to see that underneath her tough exterior is a woman who has a heart and is trying right some wrongs she's made. The Point and its dangerous occupants though dont want to let her go and this brings Titus and his family and friends back under the crossfire of the spawn of the evil man they had already put down.

Another dark and gripping tale from the Point with characters even though they walk the line of right and wrong captivate you into their stories and their fights to survive and see love triumph. show less

I was really excited to read this one and it didn't disappoint. I found myself absorbed in this story because I enjoyed these two leads as characters. They were a good match and I really wanted them to succeed. This book reminded me a lot of Sin City--in the sense that it's a darker, true grit feel to it. I think Jay Crownover does a good job with her introduction to get you to understand what she wants you to get out of this book. It's a bit of a fantasy in the sense that things are over the top but it is still highly entertaining and somewhat realistic. It works the stereotypes and expectations show more really well.
